homepage is intended to be used as a browser's home page, providing a configurable wallpaper and a basic kanban board.
This project gave me a good excuse to focus on new ways of doing my frontend.
Originally, I wanted to use go's experimental web assembly, since I've worked almost entirely in go for the last year. Sadly, it doesn't support async, and its value debugging is a nightmare. I have branched this experiment to wasm if you want to take a look.
Now, I am using typescript. This has been on my learning list for a while now, and this will give me an excellent chance to do so.
All of my previous major javascript projects have used the MVC pattern. In this project, I want to break away from that. A year of go usage has taught me the power of composition over inheritance, so I'm going to do my best to write classless typescript. I'm sure I will do a writeup on the process later.
