While working on porting the Small Technology Foundation web site¹ to Kitten², I took the opportunity to pull out base Model and Collection classes that I’ll likely end up including in Kitten proper:
• Model: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/Model.js
• Collection: https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/Collection.jsTo see them in use, here’s the base Posts class (with RSS generation) that extends Collection:
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/Posts.jsAnd here’s the concrete EventPosts collection class that extends Posts:
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/EventPosts.jsAnd the EventPost (showing an implementation of a calculated property):
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/EventPost.jsSo all this is possible (persisting and reading back typed model collections, etc.) thanks to JSDB¹ (JavaScript database), a zero-dependency, transparent, in-memory, streaming write-on-update JavaScript database I wrote for the Small Web that persists to a JavaScript transaction log and is included as as first-class citizen in Kitten.
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb
And if you want to know how the magic mapping of classes happens, see the Database App Module:
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/database.js#L34
PS. For a much gentler introduction to persistence in Kitten, see the Kitten Persistence tutorial:

New releases
• Kitten (rolling release)
• @small-tech/https version 5.3.2
• Auto Encrypt version 4.1.3OCSP support has been reinstated in the server so existing sites with Let’s Encrypt certificates provisioned prior to the removal of the OCSP stapling requirement will not fail to load in Firefox.
Kitten servers in production will automatically update to this version in a few hours. You can also sign in to the Kitten settings page on your server and do a manual update to update Kitten immediately.
Thanks to @stefan and @s1r83r for bringing this to my attention. (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/113969540950647873)

New Kitten release
• Upgrades to version 5.3.1 of @small-tech/https¹ which has version 4.1.2 of Auto Encrypt² that l removes OCSP stapling (because Let’s Encrypt has removed OCSP support).
Please upgrade your Kitten as soon as possible or any new Kitten servers you try to set up will fail and any certificate renewals for existing servers will start to fail in May.
(To upgrade, run `kitten update`. Your production servers will update automatically.)
Enjoy!

You can really get a feel for what authoring a simple web app is like in Kitten (with the latest techniques/features), by checking out the source code for Look Over There!, the multi-site forwarding app with TLS forwarding support that I built recently:
https://codeberg.org/small-web/look-over-there
There’s an instance of it I’m hosting for us at https://look-over-there.small-web.org to forward our archived sites – e.g., https://web0.small-web.org – to archive.org so we don’t break links on the web.
If you want to run it locally, install Kitten (https://kitten.small-web.org) and then type: kitten run https://codeberg.org/small-web/look-over-there.git (you can also clone the git repo manually and just run kitten from the working directory).
Interesting places to look:
• The index page (shows use of a Markdown page that imports and uses Kitten components) https://codeberg.org/small-web/look-over-there/raw/branch/main/index.page.md
• The admin page (notice the lock emoji at the end of the name? That’s all you need to add to a route to make use of Kitten’s automatic authentication. Since every Kitten site/app is protected by public-key encryption and we don’t have the concept of users (each site/app on the Small Web is owned by one person), the whole process can be automated for you. https://codeberg.org/small-web/look-over-there/src/branch/main/admin%F0%9F%94%92.page.js
• The Redirection component. This is what does all the hard work on the admin page. Along with the admin page, they showcase Kitten’s new/alternative (and as-of-yet mostly undocumented) class-based component model with event bubbling on the component hierarchy on the server. (Since this is resource intensive, it’s recommended you use it only when implementing authenticated routes where you’re sure only the site’s owner will be accessing the route.) https://codeberg.org/small-web/look-over-there/src/branch/main/Redirection.component.js
In any case, as Kitten and the rest of the Small Web ecosystem matures further, I’ll be documenting all this better and there will be even more examples and tutorials but, in case you’re one of those inquisitive types and you want to see what web development can be like if you’re *not* building centralised people farming machinery for Big Tech, have a play with Kitten.

New Kitten Release 🥳
• Implements cascading archives support
https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#cascading-archives
Cascading archives¹ is useful if you have a static archive of the old version of your site and you don’t want to host it somewhere else and use the 404→307 (evergreen web) technique (https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#evergreen-web-404-307) (the latter is useful if the old version of your site is a dynamic site and you cannot take a static archive of it).
If a URL cannot be found on your app, Kitten will trying it in the archive folders:
__archive__1
__archive__2
__archive__3(In that order.)
So you can three older static versions of your site served without breaking older URLs unless they are shadowed by newer URLs in your site/app.
Enjoy!
:kitten:💕
¹ This is a feature that I originally implemented in Site.js (that’s going to be shut down tomorrow when Let’s Encrypt stops issuing certificates with OCSP-stapling – I don’t have the bandwidth to maintain two servers/frameworks; Kitten is Site.js’s successor). I’m planning on implementing this differently in Kitten going forward (so you can use the Settings interface to upload a zipped archive and it will serve it) but I need this for my own site for tomorrow’s shutdown so we have this simpler implementation in the meanwhile. Leaving things to the last minute? Who? Me? Never! ;)

@small-tech/https version 5.3.0 released
• Uses Auto Encrypt 4.1.1 (removes OCSP stapling support because Let]s Encrypt has removed OCSP support).
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/https
This module is a drop in replacement for Node HTTPS module that automatically handles TLS certificate provisioning and renewal both at localhost (via Auto Encrypt Localhost¹) and at hostname (via Auto Encrypt with Let’s Encrypt certificates²).
So, this is how you create a HTTPS server in Node.js that uses this module and automatically handles TLS certificate provisioning and renewal for you both at localhost (during development) and at hostname (during production):
```js
import https from '@small-tech/https'const server = https.createServer((request, response) => {
response.end('Hello, world!')
})server.listen(443, () => {
console.log(' 🎉 Server running at https://localhost.')
})
```(Yes, that’s it! I wrote a metric shit-tonne of meticulously-tested code so you don’t have to.) :)
💡 Note that the localhost certificate support via Auto Encrypt Localhost is 100% JavaScript and does NOT rely on an external binary like mkcert or certutil.
Needless to say, Kitten³ uses this module under the hood and it’s a big part of why Domain⁴ can deploy servers so easily that don’t require any day-to-day maintenance.
In case you’re wondering why I’m spending so much time releasing all these modules, it’s because I believe in sharing every brick of the house I’m building so others can easily build different houses if they want to. I’m not saying that what I’m building with Kitten, Domain, and Place⁵ will be the end all be all of the Small Web⁶ (the peer-to-peer web). And I want others to be able to experiment by building their own tools without having to go through the grueling development process I’ve had to in the past six years to build basic infrastructure.
Enjoy!

The Evergreen Web section in Kitten’s¹ settings now has its own page too (and uses Kitten’s new Streaming HTML² workflow).
If you have the previous version of your site up somewhere, you can use the 404-to-307 technique³ to forward missing pages to your old site so as not to break the Web.
I’ll add local static archive support later.

New Kitten Release 🥳
To OCSP¹ or not to OCSP…
• Turns on OCSP support in the server only if the site’s certificate has the OCSP stapling extension.
This is to support both servers that still have OCSP stapling in their certs as well as new ones that don’t. (Let’s Encrypt sunset OCSP support yesterday and there is a transitionary period where Kitten servers will have both types of certificates. This update is to ensure we support both without issues.)
Also updated, if you’re interested in playing lower in the stack:

New Kitten release
• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).
:kitten:💕
PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.
PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

New Kitten release
• You can now use key paths in the names of your client-side live components and these will automatically be transformed into object hierarchies on the server for you.¹
• Self heals zombie live pages (see Streaming HTML workflow²) if they return to life due to client-side browser cache.³
• Removes htmx⁴ headers from `data` property into separate `header` property in Kitten Page events and the data your Kitten Page message handlers receive.
• Automatically passes references to the live page object (if any) and the request and response objects to the layout templates of Markdown pages⁵ (so you can, for example, check if `request.session.authenticated`⁶ is true from the your layout template and customise the layout accordingly).
Enjoy!

¹ e.g., See https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/admin%F0%9F%94%92/news/index_%5Boptional-postId%5D.page.js#L356 (markup) and https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/admin%F0%9F%94%92/news/index_%5Boptional-postId%5D.page.js#L173 (handler) and https://codeberg.org/small-tech/site/src/branch/kitten/app_modules/database/database.js#L95 (model class method).
² See Streaming HTML tutorial: https://kitten.small-web.org/tutorials/streaming-html/ (There’s actually more to it now but I haven’t had a chance to document the new class-based and event-driven live page workflow yet. It’s experimental but working very well for me so far so I will do so shortly.)
³ When a person leaves a live/connected page (a page connected to its default web socket), we clean up and remove that live page from memory. However, browsers being what they are, cache the page on the client. If a person uses the back/forward buttons to return to the page, the browser will serve the cached source from memory, which has the old page ID, for the page that no longer exists in Kitten’s memory. So now we have a problem. The only way to recover from this is to tell the page to reload itself. So we accept the WebSocket connection, send a command to the page for it to reload itself, and then close the socket. That makes the stale page self heal by replacing itself with a fresh one. Yay, go us!

Donno about you guys but it sure is nice not to have to try and decipher the clusterfuck-like syntax of Hugo’s Go-based templating engine anymore…
The code on the left is Kitten¹, on the right is Hugo².
Kitten’s ‘template engine’ is just JavaScript tagged template strings.
(I’m porting the Small Technology Foundation web site³ from Site.js⁴ to Kitten, and in the process from being a Hugo-based static site to a dynamic one with a nice little admin panel I’m making to make it trivially easy to add new news items, events, and videos.)

Little preview video: Kitten’s improved component model
• Class-based page routes and components
• Object-oriented
• Event-based
• Seamless hypermedia-driven WebSocket-based event mapping and interface updates (Streaming HTML)
• A light server-side live component hierarchy with event bubbling
• Almost as if you’re building a desktop or mobile app instead of a web app…… another authoring simplification made possible because on the Small Web – which is a peer-to-peer web – you build a web app/site as a tool for one person (the owner of the site/app) instead of as a tool for you to farm millions of people.
… still experimental ;)
