This isn't on here, but I would love to have better support with the Leptos framework in SSR mode, as discussed at #1002

The UI isn't very colourblind friendly, some buttons could use a stronger contrast

I'm not sure I will be able to self-host {at some point, at all}

Just found this #976 (comment)
It seems finicky, but I will try it out 🤔

[jonaro00]

#1584 has the latest summary on this topic. I'll add a reference to #976 (comment) there as well

I'm not actually annoyed by shuttle much tbh. I think shuttle has a nice selection of backends stacks available now, working with postgres is doable and there's tutorials for lots of things you might want to do.

But here's my whack idea anyway: I think if you are looking for a theme for the next I'd suggest 'helping users monetize their services'.

In my mind that means coming up with integrations for payment & billing, authentication, signup, utilization metrics (& probably a bunch of others I hadn't thought of) - all the kind of things that are needed to support a business but aren't the 'unique selling point' of the business.

If users can integrate easily with reliable support services, they can go from 'idea for a business' to 'functioning service' quickly.
Better still, if they can see that the money coming in outweighs the cost of the service, its going to make signing up for pro offering(s) the obvious thing to do.

Thanks once again for Shuttle!
