New Kitten Release

• Automatic message routing: if the element that triggers an event on the client does not have a `name` attribute, Kitten now falls back to using its `id` instead to route the event to the correct server-side event handler on your live Kitten pages.

If neither attribute exists, Kitten will fail to route the message but no longer crash as it was due to a regression introduced when I implemented support for colons in element names.¹

For more details on Kitten’s live pages and automatic message routing, please see the Streaming HTML tutorial:

Enjoy!

¹ A colon in an element name is ignored for message routing purposes, letting you, for example, give unique names to <details> elements, allowing more than one to be open at a time, while having their events be handled by the same handler.

I love that I’m building a Settings page for Kitten apps (Small Web places) which, if I do my job right, very few people should ever have reason to seek out or use.

@Mayobrot Physical server or VPS. I’m initially building Domain to make the latter a 30-second process that requires zero technical knowledge to setup or maintain.

Also planned for afterwards (because hardware is hard), a tiny device you can hook up to your router at home that comes ready to go.

Dear fellow developers,

Remember that “once you know it, it’s easy” is as true for quantum physics as anything else. It doesn’t mean it’s easy. And it’s not an excuse for not making it easy to begin with if you can.
