🌱 Designing Low Upkeep Software

Many projects can just be hand-written HTML/JS/CSS. No build system, no libraries, just speaking the browser’s native languages. These don’t need any technical maintenance; they just keep working.

1. Avoid dependancies
2. Store date on the file system
3. Implement as much as possible on the client
4. Leave out features if they can’t be implemented simply

I’ve come to similar conclusions on my own (mostly by accident and some I’ve had to learn several times).
