Also, a small biff status update: I'm planning to do a large refactoring sometime soon, though it may not be for several weeks or so. Mainly I'm going to simplify deployment (see https://github.com/jacobobryant/hubert-wip) and also pull out some of the code into https://github.com/jacobobryant/flub so it can be used independently from Biff.

Thanks for the update. Just heard your podcast. Was planing to do ions but biff sounds great since Iā€™m a solo dev. Do you recommend I get started now with biff or wait for the refactoring?

I'd say go ahead with biff, but let me know when you want to deploy. I have a better deploy process set up on an app I'm currently working on (https://github.com/jacobobryant/hubert-wip); I just need to migrate that code over to biff. I'll probably do that once I release this new app. It won't be too hard to migrate an existing biff app to use the new deploy process either. (also, the new approach has more separation between the app code and the deploy code, so if you want to deploy using some other method, it's easier to see how to do that). As for the other part (pulling code into separate libraries), I'll probably just deprecate the functions in biff rather than removing them immediately, so there may not be any breaking changes to deal with.
