PROFOUND_GRACE Posts
I finally updated profoundgrace.org (PFG) to using Grazie!. The only unique feature from what comes with Grazie! is a KJV Bible and it has a custom theme. The code lives in a Github fork of Grazie and uses: the site folder to add the extra routes for the bible, including an override for the home page, the custom theme, and it's own favicon. This is the first functional example of reusing Grazie, without modifying anything in the app folder.
This is exciting, because it means I have a reusable code base I can build multiple things on top of and merge from upstream without a multitude of conflicts. The prisma schema will have to be de-conflicted, from time to time, but that isn't really that big of deal normally. I also have some features that I want to implement for PFG, but will also be useful as base or optional features in Grazie!. In the near future I plan to do a similar fork for Grazie! on this site, so I can begin doing customization here without changes Grazie! base code.
In the evenings I've been working on the reboot of ProfoundGrace.org (PFG), which is being built on top of Grazie!. I have the Bible feature working fairly well, with some additional features it didn't have before. PFG will have it's own theme, named Rock, based loosely on it's existing color scheme. The work has driven some fixes and improvements to Grazie! as well. I found some bugs in the pager and content lists: the pager currently overwrites query params external to the pager itself; the posts listing page doesn't display correctly for privileged users when there are no posts. There have also been a few little fixes here and there.
In Grazie!, I've been working on the Notes feature, which will later merge into PFG and kinda be specialized for that use case. Notes in Grazie! are mostly a feature for me or any user that registers here; they are private notes and lists, so you can only see the ones you create. I also plan to add website Bookmarks to Grazie!, but I don't know yet if they will be public or private (or both).
ProfoundGrace.org (PFG) hasn't had any updates in a while and it uses ArangoDB, so I'm converting it into SQLite so I can use Grazie! with it. I had been planning to use Allora (the SurrealDB variant of Grazie!) for it, but it seems like overkill and I was working on some JSON to SQL scripts earlier, which gave me the idea to use it with PFG. The tooling is intended for a project on ATF, but it actually works really well with SQLite as well. I have the SQLite tool in a repo, on github, named dbtools, if you want to take a peek, otherwise I'll talk about it later on when it's more capable.
I need to get back to the ATF work, which inspired this change, but I mostly have the Bible feature ported to Grazie. I'll work on it on the side and try to get it online in a couple of weeks. This was all necessary because I'm moving to SurrealDB and want to drop my ArangoDB sites/servers. Getting PFG converted gets me another step closer and SQLite makes a lot of sense for mostly static data. The content features don't get a lot of traffic, but the Bible does, so I don't want to take it down without replacing it.
