Rate my CMS code
by orchids in software on jun 16, 2023
looks nice! just from a basic run-through of the code, it looks like there's pretty minimal error handling for form data that doesn't exist. i suppose it might be on the client and I just didn't see it, but the API routes seem to just assume everything ...

How many requests is too many requests?
by orchids in software on may 20, 2023
