- zoomed in to control the individual units like it's an rts like AOE.
- zoomed out a bit and its city builder level of control.
- zoomed out further it's civilisation level.
- zoom out more and it's an implied observational simulation of a planet, perhaps with some control over LEO/space activities.

- mute/unmute of convos.

- render emoji in messages and names
- dialog to select a few emoji to send in a message.
I don't know enough about c++ or esp development to really challenge the llm on the code it outputs. But it compiles, builds a firmware file that can be flashed, and these changes appear to work.
Compared to a Typescritpt/Python/webapp project, I'm blissfully ignorant of the trash it might be making. -

I could probably write a parcel resolver to replace the gist.py script I use for collecting the gists. But meh.
Another thing I've done with Parcel is making a guestbook that uses a GitHub repo as the store of guestbook entries. Actions to redeploy the website, and a telegram bot as moderation & committing to the submissions repo.
There's a cloudflare thing in there as a gateway between the Python api running the bot.

By minimum parts I mean:
- a paging resolver for paged route urls, to turn */page/2/index.html into a slice of the list of posts.
- a posts resolver for wrapping the markdown file of the post with the pug template of the site.
- a tags resolver for generating
- the */tags/index.html list of tags,
- the list of posts belonging to a specific tag route, */tags/javascript/index.html,
- and handling the paged tag urls, */tags/javascript/page/2/index.html
- a pretty-urls optimizer that does two things:
- remove /index.html from the end of anchor href so it's /tags/javascript/page/2/
- remove the superfluous "/page/1/index.html".
Site maps and whatever else Hugo generates idc about rn.
One of my goals was to make it easy for me to add arbitrary front end interactivity specific to a post/page, and not have the site entirely be driven as some heavy FE framework.
A place to show things like a couple of React components I made as a learning exercise.
eg https://jason.schwarzenberger.co.nz/lab/tools/lolcryption/.I have long used GitHub's gists as a way to "write" entries on my site. With this I have made it possible for the gists containing an html file to be rendered within their post page.

The only thing bad about git is that people centralised in using GitHub as a common source repository hosting platform, antithetical to the idea of a decentralised VCS.
But that's just what people do: we trade some functionality for convenience.
(there's probably more bad things about git, but...)
