Lots of updates this week, I gave a presentation on Holster at the June LoFi meetup and published a new npm package. The meetup was at 1am for me, so not the best time to be trying to explain how Holster works! 😅 but it was great to be invited to speak and hear from others doing similar work. I've also been going back and watching previous LoFi episodes which are really interesting and great to see how much work is going on in the local first application space.

The npm package I've released is called holster-router and is an extraction of some of the work that went into RSStream. I've done that so I can re-use the same routes and user creation process in a new Holster based project that I'm about to start. RSStream uses the concept of invite codes to control accounts, but the new project will be more open than this, so the holster-router functions that are shared between these projects will allow for more than one way to create an account. The recent work that went into user storage limits should mean that sign-ups can be open without worrying about server storage. All the other routes for managing password updates and resets will be shared and the new project will add new routes to holster-router as the sign-up model for that is worked out.
