The decline of RSS usage in the late aughts and its eventual near-demise has left many a tech-geek deflated, but not entirely hopeless.

I've been working on yet another side project, once again built with FastAPI. I'm taking the opportunity to learn a few new skills and work with some new tools. Along the way, I found a way to use a decorator on my FastAPI routes when sending an HTML response, so I thought to write about it.

So I switched frameworks from Flask to FastAPI. I'm not totally sure why. It just kind of happened. So maybe I'm kind of jumping the gun here. Talking about switching Python frameworks mid-development hardly seems like an introductory topic for a tiny little blog like this one.
