Defining Discourse Data Types

Harwood Plains

After learning how to authenticate users on a Remix app with Discourse, I couldn’t resist trying to display Discourse topics in the app.

DiscourseConnect Authentication for Remix

This is a proof of concept. It might lead to something interesting.

Understanding State Management in Remix Applications

This post was partly inspired by ChatGPT’s insistence on recommending approaches to state management that the Remix docs suggest are often an anti-pattern. I think I learned something…

Authentication: fetcher.Form login form

I started to run into trouble with state management in the registration form. The form checks the email and password fields to see if the supplied values are available. It also disabled the “Register” button until the email, username, and password fields have passed some validation checks.

Authentication (for real this time?)

Testing a couple of approaches to authentication on my local development site.

Somehow adding user authentication to the site turned into a two day deep-dive into Remix and React: components, composition, declarative UI. Learned a lot, nothing about authentication though.
