Leonardo Devai d2a275c5b6 Review and modernize all 42 projects to the updated standard
Pinned 2026 toolchains (Go 1.26, Rust 1.98/edition 2024, Python 3.14 + uv, Node 24,
Zig 0.16, NixOS 26.05), postgres 18 / mongo 8, lockfiles built from, non-root
runtimes, .dockerignore, per-project LICENSE, READMEs with the git.devai.io clone
line, checkout@v7 CI. Security fixes in the legacy Rust APIs (any-password login,
self-assigned admin, hard-coded JWT secret), JWT alg/exp/sub enforcement across the
blog series, safe markdown links in the frontends, and many smaller bugs — every
project was built, run and exercised end to end.

Adds scripts/publish.sh + a CI publish job that splits every folder into its own
repo at git.devai.io/templates/<folder>.

# star-rating
Five stars that light up as you hover, lock in when you click, and remember
your rating next time you visit. It teaches the difference between a
*previewed* value and a *committed* one — the heart of most interactive widgets.
## Run
Get it: `git clone https://git.devai.io/templates/star-rating.git`
Double-click `index.html` — it opens in your browser and works. Nothing to
install, no build step.
Or serve it like production:
```sh
docker compose up --build
```
Then open http://localhost:8080.
## How it works
There's one drawing function, `paint(value)`, which fills the first `value`
stars. Two different things call it:
- **Hover** calls `paint()` directly — a preview. Nothing is saved.
- **Click** calls `commit()`, which stores the rating in `selected`, saves it to
`localStorage`, updates the text, and then paints.
When the pointer leaves the row, `paint(selected)` snaps back to the committed
value. On load, the saved rating is read back from `localStorage`.
Each star is a real `<button>` with an `aria-label` ("Rate 3 stars"), so Tab,
Enter and Space work for free; the arrow keys move the rating up and down. The
result line is a `role="status"` region, so screen readers announce it.
Try it: show a word per score ("Terrible" … "Great"), add a "Clear" button
that calls `localStorage.removeItem("rating")`, or support half stars.
## Layout
```
index.html five star buttons and the result line
app.js paint(), commit(), hover, click and arrow-key handlers
styles.css the stars' off / on look; follows light or dark mode
```
## Deploy
Push to your own GitHub repo and the shipped workflow
(`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) tests the compose stack, publishes the image to
GHCR, and — once you set the `DEPLOY_HOST` / `DEPLOY_USER` variables and
`DEPLOY_KEY` secret — deploys it to your server over ssh.
