The sad thing is that a single-page packed web app is basically just drop and run with anything that can serve static files. Just offload all the work to the client and it's suddenly easy.

But I have no decent on-phone dev environment for that. :\

I had a good discussion about that with some folks here a bit back that got noted down here: https://gitlab.com/jeremy-w/macchiato/issues/100

There's a cross-ref to a post in the thread if you want to read the discussion as well.

It's just amazing the barriers to making a small hunk of code actually easily usable by someone. Going from "works for me" to "hey this makes everyone's life easier" is a stupidly complicated step.

I do dev stuff professionally and it's still like "wtf all our tools are unusable trash once you hit the Web".

Definitely banana bread. I kinda want to go make some now.

Was like, "Hey, maybe there's a way to share this invites thingy as a web app."

That's absurdly complicated to set up. Need to sort out Nginx config, then a way to bridge Python into something it can talk to with either FastCGI or uWSGI, and then I'd need a client key and to set up auth and and…

Then toss on top doing it all on the phone as an added complexity. Table-flipping good.

@kdfrawg An app is not a business plan. The App Store is not a marketing plan. And so on.

Downside: I have one left and no clue how to beat it into issuing more.

I can now find my unredeemed invites on my phone and easily copy the invite URL. Pythonista is pretty sweet.

What's the API call to get more invites? Found I only have one left!

Ah, the limits are weird from a UI perspective, but you actually have five minutes to make a single fix-up edit: https://pnut.io/docs/resources/posts/lifecycle#put-posts-id
