Added a findOne by slug GET request to my Strapi API. Realised (to my horror) that uppercase and lowercase differences in how I create my content-types (e.g. slug vs Slug) was the 'bug'

Researched membership mgt/subscription and auth solutions - Memberstack, Memberspace, Memberful, Meber365, and Pico. Decided to try Pico since free for first 500 users and pricing is most competitive until 2500 users (after which Memberstack is better) - https://trypico.com/

Updated Strapi version and went through a worrying migration - as always deploying new version to Heroku is where it always screws up. But relieved it works now. 🤞

Followed my curiosity today and explored the limits of what's possible with out Javascript, just pure CSS (with of cos some HTML). And realised, A LOT! Not just fancy animated illustrations but functional UI stuff like sliders, tabs, accordions, toggle buttons, dropdown menus, hamburger menu, input selection, even filters! ...stuff that I always thought needed Javascript! Serendipitously I might have found a solution for a no-JS slider for Collected them all here https://codepen.io/collection/XzkLKL

Day 678 - Current answer to "What programming language should I learn?"

Wow, just as I had given up on Strapi, the solution appears. All that was needed was just `heroku config:set NODE_ENV=production` - though this hardly is saving grace for me to go back to using it for my main products, in fact it again demonstrates the reasons I'm dropping it for my main products (but can continue to use for side projects) - it depended on a Strapi engineer's goodwill to answer your question in a forum, with no certainty that he will ever do so (because Strapi is free). And it was such a small thing and error in their docs that it made a whole bunch of devs on Stack Overflow run in circles around the conflict in sqlite in local env vs pg in prod env. Too new, not quite as stable for noobs like me, and lottery-based support simply won't work for me...(yet)
