Blint<p>Yesterday we have an argument with my spouse about our wedding site.</p><p>When I first thought about creating a wedding site, I had plans to make it super reusable, open source, and available for everyone. <br>I spent a lot time (with one of my best friend) planning the API schema, make it a pretty, customisable site, with admin view, with multiple "built-in" oauth/oidc provider login, and easy for use to non-technical people.</p><p>But I realised, I have to spin up a site before Christmas (that was maybe in the middle of December). So of course, I panicked. And did nothing. Maybe in my first day off before Christmas I found a cute GitHub page, where somebody did a lot of what I wanted. So I cloned the repo, and started to refactor it to our case. </p><p>Finally we had a <a href="https://tutter.org/tags/Hugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hugo</span></a> frontend. <br>And we agreed with my spouse, that it's enough for us, it's usable, etc.</p><p>Okay. The site was out, the guests got a message: Yo, this is an official unofficial invite (official - we actually want you there, unofficial - not the paper one :D), please check it, there will be all of the necessary information. Also currently RSVP is unavailable, so just wait for us.</p><p>After January, we got words from the location, so I could update the site.</p><p>And yesterday, I thought, it's time to create an RSVP form. </p><p>And here came the argument. Because back when I planned the site, I thought the RSVP form will be a HTML form, and the data stored in a database, etc... </p><p>After switching to Hugo I wanted to make the site backendless so we talked with my spouse to create Google Forms. </p><p>So I started to create one. And I hated it. It was so inconvenient for me, I couldn't create dynamic loops, etc...</p><p>So I quickly created a PoC HTML form on the site (without any styling, CSS, so it was really ugly), and asked my girlfriend what she thinks about it.</p><p>Of course she hated it. It's ugly, it's lame, it's not like Google Forms. <br>She told me, that she don't want to use something different, because people (she knows) only uses Google Forms, and she doesn't want to be different.</p><p>I said, I WANT TO BE DIFFERENT. I always want to be different than other people, because I don't want to be one of the many/crowd. <br>In middle school I always hated to be the different guy. Who has no friends, who does nerdy things, who knows tech, etc...<br>But when I went to uni, I met a lot of "different" people (yeah, IT people ARE different), and they loved me, my difference and they accepted me. <br>And of course she accepts my difference, and she loves me for it.</p><p>After a half+ hour argument, she agreed, that I could create a PoC and if isn't ugly, we could keep it.</p><p>Obviously, I spent more time to make the form, than I could click a form in Google Forms, but in the end, I think I made a pretty, KISS, dynamic and responsive form.</p><p>What do you think?<br>(Sorry it's only in Hungarian)</p><p><a href="https://tutter.org/tags/iamdifferent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iamdifferent</span></a> <a href="https://tutter.org/tags/weddingsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weddingsite</span></a> <a href="https://tutter.org/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
