Kitten now supports Alpine.js as a first-class citizen for progressively enhancing your Small Web apps with (alongside htmx).
Also, I’ve made the authenticated route indicator (🔒) a suffix instead of a prefix to make it easier to use tab-completion, as suggested by members of the community (thank you) during our last Small is Beautiful live stream (https://small-tech.org/videos/small-is-beautiful-25/)

@d Thanks :) (Of course, you’ll be able to use whatever you like but I’m adding first-class support for htmx and Alpine.js to Kitten, which will make it easier to work with them.)

@aral I love to see HTMX as part of the small web toolkit!
Aral Balkan
@martijn Ah, neat. Please do let me know how you get on :)

I like alpine. I thought of 2 kitten apps to write. So who knows what Christmas brings this year 🤗

@martijn Ah, yeah, there’s that and also I don’t see how it can run under WSL with automatic localhost certificates as it cannot install them in browser stores that are installed under Windows. Basically, I wouldn’t expect it to run under WSL anytime soon. My priority is to get it running on Linux proper first (and keep it as simple as possible) and then folks who use proprietary systems can port it if and as they like.

@aral I just opened an issue on the kitten app; the installer refuses to complete under WSL 1, most likely because sysctl not being fully present

@martijn Hey, so scratch what I last said. I just installed Windows in a VM (and yes, I do feel dirty, thanks for asking) and, at least on Windows 11 with Windows Terminal, *WSL 2* and the Ubuntu image it installs when you enter wsl --install, the web installer works.
I also added instructions for importing the certificate authority manually into Microsoft Edge:

Hmm, i understand where your coming from. But it could just use unsigned certs on localhost for devs.
But at least this complicates things for me, but I'll manage, I'll try to switch to a VM then instead.
Aral Balkan
@martijn You’re more than welcome. I felt bad that you were so excited about playing with it and hit that snag.
Hope it’s smoother sailing from here (with the usual caveats that it’s not ready for use and it’s very early days and all that) :)
PS. I also documented our findings here: https://codeberg.org/kitten/app#user-content-windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl-notes

I'll convert my image to wsl 2 then. I think even the new Ubuntu image I installed was set to wsl 1 because that's my default (has to do with fileshares on the windows filesystem).
I'll get back on the ticket with the status. Thanks for crossing boundaries and going out of your way to look into it 🤗
Aral Balkan
@martijn Looking forward to seeing them! Let me know how it goes and if you have any issues :)

So I want to make two things, not sure which I will go first with. 1) a small tamagotchi garden. Think astrobotany. 2) a simple mental health diary that you can share with friends, with a private history (think GitHub contrib chart) and a public Ok/Not ok page. Nothing that is too private.
