For the lazy vanilla JS peeps out there, I submit to you the following:

```
const qs = (selector) => document.querySelector(selector);
const qsa = (selector) => Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(selector));
```

Regarding the Cloudflare app, I used 11ty to generate the frontend site. It uses Alpine.js for interactivity and Pico CSS for styling. Deployed to Cloudflare Pages.

The backend API is Hono running in a Cloudflare Worker. I used Cloudflare’s embedded SQLite database (D1) for data storage.

It was a little bumpy figuring things out, but the docs are pretty helpful. I find Cloudflare’s UI and docs less intimidating than AWS.

Let's say you are a frontend developer and you have made an app than has some data stored in localStorage. What is the dead simplest way to persist this data beyond the browser (eg, in a database, in a file on a server, in the cloud, etc)?

@allenstenhaus@toot.site Yeah exactly. I'm in a bit of a similar situation in that I'm only able to earn the income I do because of some very specific rules and money juggling.

But it really shouldn't be this way.

Follow-up on yesterday’s SSI post:

Ideally I’d like to see means-testing completely removed from disability programs that provide equipment and in-home care.

Free us up to chase the highest wages we can and that will mean more taxes paid back into the system.

For example, I have a severe mobility impairment. But thanks to federal and state programs, I’ve been able to get an education, learn computer programming, and join the workforce as a software engineer working for a NASA contractor—despite being so weak I can barely move my fingers.

But I rely on my daily caregiver hours in order to continue working. I can’t afford to pay all of their wages. And without them, I couldn’t work.

We need programs that let people with disabilities work and thrive.

And it’s not just about receiving cash payments. In many cases, SSI participants aren’t receiving payments at all.

Rather, their SSI status is giving them access to other services they need, such as paying for medical equipment and providing in-home care.
