Vantz Stockwell 9f53a58701 Harden boot path + surface errors instead of blanking
A friend on Chrome reported the page renders briefly then drops to the
plain theme background (Brave/Chromium fine). Defensive changes so the
next blank-page report comes with a visible cause:

- main.ts installs Vue config.errorHandler, window.onerror, and
  window.unhandledrejection listeners. Any uncaught error pins a red
  banner to the top of the page with the error message, so the user
  sees what crashed instead of a blank background.
- App.vue's onMounted now wraps each data fetch in a safeLoad helper.
  Promise.allSettled (vs allSettled used previously: was a plain
  Promise.all) means one failed file can't reject the whole batch.
  Errors log to the console and show as a non-fatal "Boot warning"
  toast in the share bar.

This doesn't fix the root cause yet — needs Chrome devtools console
output to pinpoint — but ensures the next person who hits it sees an
actionable error.

Dune Awakening — Character Builder

Plan your character across House, Class, Character XP, Specializations, Faction Standing, and Skill Trees. Shareable via short link.

Stack

  • Frontend: Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript
  • Backend: NestJS (Node 22, TypeScript)
  • Storage: Valkey (Redis-compatible) for build sharing
  • Data: extracted from ../sample-data/*.html into ./data/*.json via scripts/extract.py

Two containers: app (NestJS serving the SPA + API) and valkey. Wire-up in docker-compose.yml.

Run

docker compose up --build

Then open http://localhost:9002.

Update data

If you save new HTML snapshots into ../sample-data/, re-run the extractor:

uv run python3 scripts/extract.py

This regenerates ./data/*.json, which the container picks up on next build.

API

  • POST /api/builds — body is a build payload (any JSON ≤16 KB). Returns { code } (8-char URL-safe id).
  • GET /api/builds/:code — returns { code, build }.
  • GET /api/data/:file — serves the static JSON tables (allow-listed).

Builds are stored in Valkey with a rolling 1-year TTL (refreshed on each fetch), so popular shared builds don't expire.

Dev (without Docker)

In two terminals:

# backend
cd backend && npm install && VALKEY_URL=redis://localhost:6379 npm run start:dev

# frontend
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api/* to localhost:3000.
