Thanks for your feedback, @niclash. We have not been investing in the platform for a while and it's behind in some dependencies. Updating some due to vulnerabilities forces us to also update Svelte and that requires a lot of work. Of course, if there was interest in actual use we would be happy to jump back in. I discussed this with @jakzal, and we agreed that reworking the UI to only use htmx would be best since it would remove major dependencies and ongoing vulnerabilities. For that matter, we could even copy the single htmx file into the repository and life would become so simple. So far neither of us has had time to work on it. BTW, there are a few other platform UIs that need similar work.

[niclash]

Ok. I am just browsing out of curiosity, no immediate need for it.

[VaughnVernon]

BTW, @niclash, your new hair is amazing.
