I have tried many š
but the one I've settled on is @tinybase.bsky.social, lots of backend storage options and sync protocols. I have found pairing it with Yjs and Hocus Pocus (a Yjs server) gives me the best results with the most flexibility.

As a Vue-head myself, I agree š I have a bunch of side projects that I was able to convert pretty easily, but I also didn't use very many Vue-specific libraries that depended on the deep internals of the framework, luckily. It definitely fragmented the ecosystem.

This has been quite a journey, but I'm ready to share a side project that has been cooking for years... a purely web-based podcast client!
Introducing Podrain. Built with @nuxt.com, @tinybase.bsky.social, @tur.so, @cloudflare.social and many other wonderful tools. Start using it at podrain.app

I've run into this limitation with a different DB client. I haven't pursued it, but it's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue :D
Chat-gippity says it's likely an issue with Linux filesystem permissions on the server preventing writes from a remote client

Deno and Hono were perfect for this because I just installed Deno on the server Factorio is running on, and created a single app.ts file with everything needed for running server commands, copying files, and serving the web app itself. Hard to imagine doing this so quickly with any other stack.

I host a Factorio server for my friends, but they keep destroying stuff when I'm not playing with them and keep asking me to reset the server š
Well, no more! I created a quick web app with @deno.land and #honojs to restore an autosave of their choosing. And they can download the save files too!

There is much more of a community vibe here, especially with starter packs. Here are a few I've found:
nodejs & js go.bsky.app/6jDsWb5
svelte go.bsky.app/QEhPG3P
vue / nuxt go.bsky.app/H8Tibki
web components go.bsky.app/3nDP8iq
remix / react router go.bsky.app/6r1fRkU
web friends go.bsky.app/UUmcHf4
