Show HN: I got a 10 year old project of mine working again in 2023

Here's a video of it in action https://twitter.com/i/status/1667355251773526016

I didn't end up using it that much back then and no one else seems to have cared it existed, but it was a project I used to derust my programming skills and I'm to this day proud of the flamboyant design.

To anyone reading this: you don't have to let your old code rot away in the graveyard of distant memories just because times change. With enough persistence and a little perseverance anything is possible.

Code doesn't have an expiration date. -day

And the reason I wanted to get it working again wasn't to show off but I actually want to use it for the purpose it was intended: helping me develop this PaaS app idea I've had since 2009. There have been many, many false starts but this time I'm doing it for real worse is better MVP like PG and the rest of y'all have been advocating the entire time but I was too stubborn to see the light.

Big Things™ Coming Soon™

Really though, I have an 11 year old project I might reboot.

Update later if I do!

incredible work dvj!

It's always nice when you pick up an old project that magically (with some grinding) works
