A simple, real-time guestbook application built and deployed with:

• FastHTML: A Python framework for building HTML applications
• HTMX: For seamless AJAX requests and updates

Say hi: https://guestbook.mattpalmer.io or follow along for more!

Setup

1. Fork the Repo
2. python main.py
3. The application will start, and you can access it via the provided URL

That's it!

Configuration

1. Update the MAX_NAME_CHAR and MAX_MESSAGE_CHAR constants in main.py if you want to change input limits
2. Modify the TIMESTAMP_FMT constant to change the timestamp format
3. Adjust the styling in style.css to customize the appearance
4. We're currently storing data in SQLite via FastHTML's own interface. For persistent data, you'll need to modify the db or deploy it somewhere. Here's an example doing so with Replit.
