went ahead and bit the bullet and started revising a site of mine for a hosted platform, basically because I wound up having a real bitch of a time deploying shareable stuff; it's taken me a while but I'm at near full feature parity and deployments are easier... yay? Still means I wasn't able to homebrew it from scratch myself
Annnnd it's gone really well so far to the extent that I'm probably gonna start releasing it into the wild (for people to not see for organic reasons vs me just never talking about it)
