like i think having a secure connection to a web server is a very good idea, but what we ended up with is like three zombie corpses of previous iterations of that tech stapled together and stuff like certbot on top to try and automate the pain away. we never replaced it with a single new complete implementation.

like i dont need those layers if i want to make 2d games like your recent stuff, but if i want to deliver a proper desktop app cross platform with all the accessibility stuff then its kinda insane to think that im also gonna be down in the bowels writing my own ui framework or something
