Chores

Contribution guidelines

• In the best of our abilities we want to keep the app working without JS. We only use echarts for charting. This means that all major features work without JS, and we use semantic HTML tags and features.
• We try to limit dependencies as much as possible. We use three go dependencies, a non CGO sqlite3 driver, /x/crypto and a stdlib extension package. For frontend we use echarts.
• SQLC is used for SQL queries. This is a development dependency but not a runtime dependency.
• We use https://tabler.io/icons for icons
• Everything should be bundled in the binary. We use go:embed for static files and also bundle the frontend dependencies in the binary.
• Keep it simple, we want to deploy a single binary with no external dependencies (including DB). Code should be simple and easy. A bad structure is better than no structure, but a good structure is better than a bad one.
• Limiting dependencies means we the maintenance and complexity burden is lower. The rigid compatability guarantees of Go means there will be little churn over time and getting back into the project after a long time is easier.
