A little dragon told me about some upcoming improvements to Wails v2 that I might find really nice to work with, so let's check them out and try and apply them to the Svelte based Snippet Pixie desktop application.

I ran out of time before being able to take full advantage of the changes in Snippet Pixie, so stay tuned for a follow-up that completes the migration to use the new features of Wails v2.

Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

Chances are I'll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.
