Tumbleweed Snapshot Tracker & Other Grazie! News

I can't remember if I'd mentioned it before, but I've built a parser and page to track Tumbleweed snapshots. It'll be in the next site update, which should be sometime this week, I think. There will also be feeds for other sites to use. The Tumbleweed page will display what snapshot you are on, if you are using Tumbleweed, and there's a diff viewer to show package changes between the current snapshot and the past snapshots.

I haven't updated the Grazie versions in a while, so when I merge the React Router changes, I'll call it 0.7.x. Version 0.8 will have the new theme system updates, which will be a pretty big shift, and then 0.9.x will be betas and RCs.

I am not at all happy with the way the react-router dev server works, which is just vite dev. It is very slow and is basically only useful for error messages. I've put in a stop gap with nodemon and the production build/serve, which is much better, but not entirely useful as a dev server. I'm still trying to get it figured out. Unfortunately, it's the reason I hadn't migrated much sooner, even to newer Remix versions, because the dev server is just terrible.

I still have a few updates to do in the react router migration, mostly dealing with how route components changed from Remix 2, and tweaking the routing in general. It runs really well on the production server, I just want to get those few things cleaned up.

I'm not sure how much time I'll have to work on it this week, but I'd like to get this site updated with the last Remix 2 version of Grazie. I'm trying to decide if I want to launch ProfoundGrace.org with the Remix 2 version or wait and merge the React Router version into it first. It may be easiest to wait for the changes planned for 0.8.0.

Speaking of 0.8.0, my plan for it is to add a site folder outside of app, but I'm still trying to decide on the exact structure. The idea is to have the core Grazie app and then site specific stuff in the site folder, like theme, routes, and components. This makes it easier to build different sites which Grazie and makes merging upstream changes easier. I'm also thinking about dropping PostgreSQL support. Allora will have a better database alternative to SQLite, so I don't really see the point in having PG in Grazie!. It's not changing for now, but is a possibility.
