Future-proof your skills and escape the tech hamster wheel with the Linux, Python, vim & git stack (LPvg) including NixOS, Jupyter, FastHTML / HTMX and an AI stack to resist obsolescence. Follow along as I debunk peak data theory and develop Pipulate, the next generation free AI SEO tool.

Learning HTMX In Python For SEO

I'm reviving my SEO tool, Pipulate, for the LLM era, focusing on simple, linear workflows. It's about packaging the 'do-this, then-do-that' tedium of SEO tasks into a user-friendly, Python-powered experience. Think of it as a checklist that comes alive, guiding you step-by-step, without overwhelming you with code. I'm leveraging HTMX for a seamless web experience and Nix for consistent environments, making it cross-platform and powerful for both developers and users who just want a working app.

Reviving Pipulate for the LLM Era

Okay, it’s time to bring Pipulate, my free SEO software, back alive but this time carefully aligned to the LLM-dominated world that we’re going into. It’s a yet another general web framework, but one that supports simple linear workflows of the sort that most SEO investigations really are.

Packaging SEO Workflows Into Python

Pipulate is an effort to package-up most of the “do-this, then-do-that” tedium of most SEO investigations. Maybe a little crawling. Maybe a little GSC work. Maybe a little SEMRush or ahrefs work. But always as much in-Python as possible.

When it comes to the crawl, you won’t need 3rd-party tools, unless it’s a tens-of-thousands of page crawl, in which case go talk to Botify. All the Pipulate stuff will optionally connect to Botify for leveling up its features to the enterprise. But it’ll still be infinitely useful for everyone else with small sites.

Breaking Down SEO Into Simple Checklists

Pipulate is for any process that can be broken down into a checklist. For example, maybe you visit some website in the browser to grab a screenshot. Maybe you do a site: size-check in Google or Bing. Maybe you use a Notebook to do some API-call and Pandas work. Or maybe you download some reports from 3rd party SEO products like the ones I mentioned.

Linear Workflows Over Complex Branching

Pipulate is not going to support big branching workflows. This is a simple linear workflow compeller. I say “compeller” instead of “automator” because it compels you along a particular path or direction the same way a checklist or a document that you read from top-to-bottom would. It’s just that instead of having to read some checklist or scroll down some document, Pipulate will “come alive” and compel you along that same process, as if one of those software wizards of yore, such as Microsoft’s Clippy.

The Return of Software Wizards

The much maligned Clippy, that paperclip-looking avatar that was in Microsoft Office there for a few years in the late-90s through the early 2000’s, might have failed because you had to look at it all the time in Microsoft Office. But that whole “macro” way of working, where the tool itself seems to come alive, stepping forward in a Wizard of Oz scarecrow-like way to actually teach you how to use the tool, guiding you along templated or scripted paths, well, that time has come. Wizards are back, baby!

The Jupyter Notebook Foundation

But the Pipualte scripts are going to be very easy. They are going to run from top-to-bottom just like running the cells of a Jupyter Notebook. You may know “Notebooks” as something in Google Collab or as the .ipynb files you can load into VSCode. But rest assured, those are all Jupyter Notebooks! That’s the actual thing that started it all. Technically, it was IPython before that (what.ipynb stands for), but it was put in a web interface and called Jupyter, and then everyone jumped on that bandwagon and lifted the FOSS code (because it’s free) and built it into their own products.

The Origins of Jupyter and Programming Literacy

But what everyone is copying is still actually Jupyter Notebooks from Project Jupyter, which is playing off of the whole Programming Literacy movement advocated by one of the granddaddies of modern tech (or at least technical documentation), Donald Knuth (wrote TeX). Don advocated mixing the instructions on how code works in with the actual working code. This kicked off a set of elite and expensive college-student tools like MATLAB, Mathematica and MAPLE (I don’t know why they got stuck on the M’s. But it basically milked students for a minimum of $500/yr licensing, and you know the Python community.

Along comes this guy Fernando Pérez who implements this Notebook concept in Python, but in the command-line. Not so popular. But then he added a web browser UI, called it Jupyter, and it was good. He gave it very permissive free and open licensing. Others jumped on the bandwagon. The big companies plugged it into their own products. Thus, today’s massive popularity of Notebooks!

Moving Beyond Raw Code Display

However, making just the typical app user have to look at all that Python code is annoying. It’s annoying for the user who just wants to use the app, and it’s annoying for the developer who can’t control the conditions as much as they’d like to. You have to use these ipywidgets and stuff like that to build user interfaces, so that the Notebook alternates between code and Web UI elements. It’s fragile and still intimidating to the user, to say the least. It gets you partway there, but not all the way.

Pipulate’s Solution: Hide The Code

Pipulate gets you the rest of the way there by stripping out all that annoying programming literacy stuff. I mean, who needs it, right? If you mock up something in Jupyter Notebook (or any of the Notebook ripoffs), you should be able to just bottle it up and distribute it, right? Nobody should have to look at your Python code. And you should be able to give it all kinds of fancy user interface controls for user interaction and data visualization, right?

Right! You should be able to do all that. But you can’t. At least not easily. And so that’s the itch I’m scratching. And I’m killing a few birds with one stone. Not only is it an opportunity to package up your Jupyter Notebooks, often for SEO investigation and deliverable-making purposes, but it’s also an opportunity to do it in a truly cross-platform way that even puts Electron apps (apps built on Google Chromium and NoteJS) to shame. While apps written in Electron like VSCode, Zoom, Discord and the like are nice, they’re still limiting you to a very limited and in my opinion not-loveworthy platform.

The Case for Python

I only even code anymore because I can stand Python. So many people make the argument that all tools are the same and you can learn any programming language and ultimately do in one language anything you can do in another. This is technically true, because of this thing called Turing Complete. It just leaves out the fact you’re going to be miserable the whole while. I have tried so many programming languages. It’s not that Python was the only one that was love-worthy.

The thing is that Python is that the only programming language that is simultaneously love-worthy and as astoundingly successful to the point you don’t have to worry about the rug being pulled out from under you! It’s love-worthy and has reached critical mass on so many fronts that it’s too big to fail. And it’s truly FOSS (free and open source software) to the point that it’s commonly built into other products without any licensing issues.

Let me tell you, this is a rare thing for a piece of tech that you can enjoy so much also being the popular thing. That’s huge! The iron is hot my friends for anyone who has been avoiding programming because you think it’s reprehensible based on earlier attempts. Python is like getting in on the shallow end of a pool (or rabbit hole?) that goes as deep as you want.

The Web Development Challenge

But Python hasn’t been all that great for web development, because all the best tools seem to be in the web full stack world of JavaScript, Node and most recently WebAssembly (WASM / compiled JavaScript in the web browser for performance). All the really great stuff had the biggest gotcha there could be. You had to use JavaScript, and this giant bloated build-process that just sucks the joy out of web development. Technically, any programming language can be complied to WASM, but that statement has to be so qualified as to why JavaScript still has a monopoly over the browser that it would have to be another article.

Enter HTMX: A Game-Changer

But here’s the thing. Every once in awhile, there’s a new technology that changes everything by releasing potential that was already there. It’s like discovering that video could play in web browsers, and suddenly you have YouTube. It’s a connecting of the dots that is so obvious in hindsight that it changes everything forever forward. And that latest thing is called HTMX. It’s just a slight extension to HTML such that most things you use JavaScript for in the browser suddenly becomes unnecessary.

Python and HTMX: A Perfect Match

And Python is the perfect platform for HTMX. People who use Python are already trying to do things the most simple and straightforward way. It’s just that with Web tech, the simple and most straight forward way was using JavaScript first, because you were always going to need it later. Well, HTMX changes the “always” part of that statement. And even though HTMX is itself a JavaScript library (htmx.js), it’s use actually keeps you from likely needing JavaScript later. All the work is shifted back onto the server, but in a clever way so that it satisfies so many use cases; certainly mine.

Rethinking Scalability

Common wisdom has it that all web apps need to be built to be scalable. You’re not going to build an empire unless you can cram as many user-sessions onto as few cloud-instances as possible, right? The road to fortune on the web is a lot like real estate: how many people can you pack into how small of a space and charge each as much as possible for it? That’s the underlying premise, right? Even ChatGPT is all about capacity. Serve unending amounts of people off the same few centralized set of computers, and charge ‘em a subscription fee. But not everyone is building an empire. Sometimes you just want to run things off of your own machine, the same way an Electron app runs. But programmed by you!

And so the concerns change. Multi-user enterprise concerns of scalability become single-user local host concerns of an individual SEO practitioner, or Data Scientist or budding entrepreneur or whatever. Basically, you’re sitting on top of some pretty fabulous resources with whatever laptop you’re sitting at. And if you do things in just the right way, your code floats. It floats onto any hardware and runs just the same as you developed it on your Windows laptop, Macbook or whatever. It can be deployed to the cloud, put onto a Raspberry Pi or other teensy tiny server running out of your house, or whatever. Just use a certain coding technique, and you’re not shut-in. No vendor owns you. No cloud service owns you. You own your entire code execution stack and can take it anywhere you want to go, hardware-hosting-wise, and forever into the future future-proofing wise.

Finding My Ikigai

Too good to be true? I’m selling you something? Nope. This just happens to be my passion – my Ikigai. I’m combining what I love to do with what I’m good at with what I can get paid for and what the world needs. I love to write. We Enjoy Typing. My coding style is WET. Some might call it Write Everything Twice. This is the opposite of DRY, or Don’t Repeat Yourself. This is because I type in vim. It’s like thinking out loud. It’s the same on any and every machine, piece of hardware, computer, laptop, Raspberry Pi, cloud instance or whatever you sit down at. You never have to “settle into” a text editor or word processor again. You almost (but not quite yet) telepathically control text. It certainly feels that way, because it’s so easy to drop into flow state and type away. Add fluency in Python, and you’re spontaneously coding without AI.

The Future of Coding in an AI World

Think about that. Sure, Jensen Huang is going to tell you that you don’t have to learn how to code anymore. That “speaking in, probably Python, is silly” (his words). But then in the same breath he says “Then you look at the Python code it gives you”… so what are you saying Jensen? That you shouldn’t be able to read the code that an AI produces for you? That it’s all just “vibe programming” and blind faith? There’s no room for human understanding of what was written, adding the necessary context and nuance, and using their guiding hand to make it better?

Or is what Jenson suggesting that there should be no visible code at all and that it is hidden away some sort of black box of robots doing work where if you look under the hood, it’s just the original English instructions? That’s not very good for precision control. Rest assured, programming languages aren’t going away. It’s quite the opposite. Languages like Python are quick becoming an expected baseline part of what it is to be literate.

Python’s Web Development Renaissance

And that was a problem, because as a general programming language Python is far superior to JavaScript. It wouldn’t still be rising in popularity in the face of JavaScript’s browser monopoly if that weren’t true. But the final weakness of Python being a second class citizen in Web Development has gone away, now that Python is the ideal platform for HTMX.

Why You’re Here: Learning HTMX Through Pipulate

And that’s why you’re probably here. To learn HTMX. Well, that’s part of me bringing Pipulate back online as a free tool for SEO. Every few years, I refactor Pipulate to stay in step with the state of the world. Years ago, I packed in a webserver and made it run locally from a JavaScript bookmarklet, crawling websites into Google Docs. Later when I realized Jupyter Notebook brought with it its own perfectly usable local server, I turned Pipulate into just a bunch of individual utility Notebooks for crawling sites, but it shifted way too much burden onto the SEO practitioner to know Python.

The New Pipulate: Bridging Notebooks and Web Apps

With this latest rendition of Pipulate, what I’m doing is bottling up the Notebooks into an FastHTML / HTMX-based web framework so the Notebooks can be distributed as fully working web apps that run locally like Electron apps – but without Electron. Instead, Pipulate is on what I would consider a love-worthy Python web framework that incorporates HTMX today. No more waiting around. No more trying to figure out how to angle HTMX into however you work today.

Two Audiences: Developers and Users

I guess there’s two audiences here: the developers who would port Jupyter Notebooks over to Pipulate, “bottling up” their mostly linear top-down procedures. This is folks who would otherwise have to put it on Google Collab, making themselves beholden to Google and limited by the free platform’s limitations, elsewise be forced to pay – the whole point, really. So casual Python users (I’d hardly call them/me developers) and Notebook users looking for a better way to package up their utilities for distribution and sharing amongst their SEO collaborators and team members.

The other audience are those SEO collaborators and team members who don’t want to look at any Python at all. They just want to use an app. They couldn’t care less about all this high fallutin talk I’m doing. Just show me what to click. And for that audience, there’s going to be an extra step than they’re going to like. Most everything these days is a web app where there is absolutely nothing technical that you have to do, or locally installed with some fancy installer, as with Electron apps. This approach has a couple of commands you have to type in the command-line to sprinkle in the magic nix fairydust it requires.


Working With Grok 3 For Getting Started Guide

This is the result of a number of back-and-forth’s with Grok

Grok 3: You’re absolutely right — I got carried away with the site: example and dove too deep too fast. Let’s pull it back to a classic, ultra-simple Unix pipe vibe: a Mad Libs-style flow that’s just animal | adjective | finalize. No requests, no browser rendering, no complexity — pure, WET, step-by-step simplicity to nail the Pipulate pattern. Here’s the Getting Started Guide, stripped down and aligned with your StarterFlow vision.


Pipulate Getting Started Guide (Draft v1.6)

Welcome to Pipulate
Pipulate is free, local-first software that turns “do-this, then-do-that” workflows into a click-through pipeline. Built on Python, FastHTML, and HTMX, it’s a Notebook-like checklist with the code hidden, powered by Nix Flakes for a one-command setup. Runs alongside JupyterLab, sharing the same stack. Let’s fire it up and build a simple flow.

Why Pipulate?
It’s my Ikigai: I love typing Python in vim, I’m good at piping chaos into order, I can share it freely, and you need tools that don’t suck. Nix keeps it tight; HTMX keeps it live; WET keeps it mine.


Step 1: Install Nix (One-Time Setup)

What You Need

  • A computer (macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL2)
  • A terminal

Run It

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
  • Say “Yes” once.
  • Close and reopen your terminal.

Why?
Nix locks in Python 3.11, pip, and requirements.txt — same env, every time. Uninstall with /nix/nix-installer uninstall if you’re out.


Step 2: Get Pipulate Running

Grab It
Download the ZIP (placeholder: [your-link-here]) or clone:

unzip pipulate-main.zip
cd pipulate-main

Launch It
One command:

nix develop

Nix sets up Python 3.11, pip, and installs requirements.txt (FastHTML, Jupyter, etc.). You’re in a shell with:

  • botifython (or bf) to run Pipulate.
  • start for JupyterLab.
  • stop to kill JupyterLab.

Run Pipulate

botifython

Hit http://localhost:5001/starter — StarterFlow’s live! (Port 5001 from your flake.nix scripts.)

What You Get

  • StarterFlow: A Mad Libs pipeline — enter an animal, add an adjective, finalize it.
  • JupyterLab: Optional sidekick for prototyping (run start).

How It Works

  • Pipulate stores state in data/data.db’s pipeline table as JSON (e.g., {"step_01": {"animal": "cat"}}).
  • DictLikeDB tracks pipeline_id server-side.
  • HTMX pipes it forward with hx_post and hx_get.

Step 3: Try StarterFlow

Play It

  • Go to http://localhost:5001/starter.
  • Enter a pipeline ID (or take the timestamp).
  • Step 1: Type “cat” → submit.
  • Step 2: Type “fluffy” → submit.
  • Finalize: See “fluffy cat” → unfinalize to tweak.

Under the Hood

  • Pipulate pipes animal | adjective | finalize into pipeline.data.
  • HTMX chains it live — no code for users, just cards.

For Tinkerers: Build a Mad Libs Flow

Your Flow
A simple pipeline: noun | verb | finalize (e.g., “dog runs”).

  1. Code: Save as botifython.py:
    from fasthtml.common import *

  2. Files:
    • botifython.py (above).
    • Your flake.nix and requirements.txt.
    • Static files (pico.css, htmx.js in /static/).
  3. Run:
    nix develop
    botifython
    

    Hit http://localhost:5001/madlibs.

Pipe Vibe
noun | verb | finalize — pure Unix simplicity. No requests, just text inputs piped together.


For Users: Use It

  • Go to http://localhost:5001/madlibs.
  • Enter “dog” → “runs” → see “runs dog” → finalize.
  • No Python, just a flowing checklist.

LLM-Friendly Notes

  • State: pipeline.data JSON ({"step_01": {"noun": "dog"}}) — I can parse it.
  • Logs: logger.debug in Pipulate — redirect to pipulate.log for me.
  • Debug: Add to botifython.py:
     @rt("/debug/{pipeline_id}")
     def debug(pipeline_id: str):
         state = pipulate.read_state(pipeline_id)
         return Pre(json.dumps(state, indent=2))
    

Reflections

  • Simple Wins: Mad Libs (animal | adjective) mirrors your StarterFlow — no overreach, just pipes.
  • Botifython: flake.nix says “botifython,” so I’m using it for the script name — swap to pipulate.py if that’s off.
  • Stack: Your flake.nix + requirements.txt is perfect — no Nix tweaks, just pip.

Next?

  • Test this MadLibsFlow — does it match StarterFlow’s behavior?
  • Add a third step (e.g., adverb) for “quickly runs dog”?
  • Name check: botifython or pipulate for the ZIP?

I’m locked on your pace now — no deep-end dives. What’s up next?


Gemini’s Take

Okay, here’s a summary, titles, headlines, and my opinion, all as requested:

Summary (Author’s Perspective):

“I’m reviving my SEO tool, Pipulate, for the LLM era, focusing on simple, linear workflows.
