Something I love about Darkmoor village (the setting of Epic Universe theme park's Dark Unviverse) is the Burton's Batman effect (best way to describe it) of the setting. By Burton's Batman I mean it's supposed to be present day but there's also an apparent timelessness and an aesthetic from another time period. You'll notice the Tim Burton Batman movies, Batman the animated series, and even the show Gotham are set in present day with 90s and 2000s technology such as CDs and video games, but the clothes, ambiance, and even automobiles are of the 1920s-40s and everything has a sort of noir quality to it. If not for the modern technology you really can't tell what time period it's set in. With Darkmoor Village it's like a Hammer Horror film or more recently Asylum's Monster Mash, where you can't quite tell what time period it is. Officially it's supposed to be present day and the original Universal Monster movies happened about a century ago. But the architecture (which is partly medieval, partly Victorian), clothes (also partly medieval and partly Victorian), and even the technology (which looks very steampunk) suggests a fairy tale-like agelessness

This surreal timelessness is charming and appealing to me. It makes you feel like someone could easily come sashaying down the street in a nineteenth century opera cape, while someone else could be wearing a 1920s smoking jacket (and bandages) and it won't feel out of place (except maybe for the bandages). I like that surreal, Gothic, timelessness. The 1960s TV series Dark Shadows pulled it off pretty well too, at least from episode 210 until it ended.

In Canada, I was raised from birth to be a warrior. My ancestors clashed in battle after battle, drawing blood to retrieve the best deals on home electronics and occasionally near-expiry panettone. Like my grandfather said on the first day he put a charge card in my hand, I was born to win at Boxing Day.

Perhaps you live in a country that does not have Boxing Day, or maybe you call it something else. If this is the case, I would like you to imagine going to the stores and finding a good discount. Traditionally, before the Americans came with their blackened Fridays and good-deal Aprils, going into combat on this day is how we would be able to afford a six-CD changer.

It was always the same sequence. Get up at the crack of dawn with the surviving family members. Drive to the asshole end of the city, after determining which of the stores are likely to have the least attendance and competition for the deal you want. Wait in line in the December morn for more than an hour, eyeing anyone who tries to cut in line. The doors open. There is blood. So much blood. And then, maybe if you were pure of heart and fleet of foot, a deal.

Things have changed now. The internet came from the heavens. The clouds above us sing of algorithmically determined deals that are determined computationally to be the exact discount that will trigger us to buy. 19% off? We scoff. 18.35% off with a free cookie? Some part of our protosimian neurological architecture jams its foot on the gas pedal and won't let go until we've destroyed one entire Bank of Montreal Platinum Reserve® Optimax® MasterCard® in exchange for something we don't need that might arrive at our home late next week by a hungover Purolator employee. There is no honour in this.

Which is why we're going to try out a new thing this year. The mall near us has been empty for decades, except for a short period of time where the CBC filmed a docudrama set in the 1990s there. What we're gonna do is set a bunch of Amazon gift cards down on the floor and let some folks my age kick the absolute shit out of each other in exchange for a chance to buy them for greater than the listed face value. It's gonna be just like the old days. I hope to see you there.

I have never seen a home w/so many different styles as this 1997 mansion in Olympia Fields, Illinois. 7bds, 12.5ba, $3.499M. Clearly, they couldn't settle on one house design. The once-decaying property was brought back to life by the late Rudolph Isley of the The Isley Brothers, and his wife, Elaine. Check it out.

They've tried to mix rustic lodge with very contemporary and provincial styles- looks like maybe the couple's tastes clashed and this is the architectural compromise that resulted.

It begins with a modern rustic look great room with contemporary decor. I do like the idea of a red & white color scheme. Look, even the black keys on the piano are red. (I guess money can buy anything.)

Modern office with a Baroque style desk.

This is different. The modern kitchen has a HUGE fancy French dining set for 20. Look at the size of the chandelier. The coffered ceiling is rustic. These compromises are way too much.

Log cabin style sunroom.

These rooms are too plain for such fancy furniture. It doesn't look right. Put up some wainscoting, a fireplace, something.

The primary bedroom is disappointing. Rustic fireplace, red carpet and gray furniture.

The en-suite has a modern stone / log cabin feature wall. It has such conflicting styles with starkly plain walls and floors.

This Pirates of the Caribbean pool room is amazing, though.

Look at the little shack, waterfall, and treehouse.

Love this so much. Look at the lighting, too. I would buy it for this, alone.

And, then we go to a huge brick man cave with a fireplace and kitchen area.

Then, we go to an octagonal log cabin room. They have the same Bose stereo I have, on the fireplace (haven't used it in ages b/c it plays CDs).

This is the huge bedroom of a Bulls fan with an en-suite behind an open wall.

And, here's a bedroom with a giraffe theme, but the only indication of that is some wallpaper.

And, another family room.

The home gym walled in glass.

This home disturbs me. A room that looks like a basement- no windows. One fancy bed and carpet, plus a modern side table and armoire in sterile & stark white room.

And, then it switches to retro diner in the 2nd kitchen. I do love these appliances, though. At least put up some Coca Cola signs, neon, or some retro decor.

The home theater needs some dark wallpaper and a black ceiling w/at least a popcorn machine. This home is too minimalist. I hope that a new buyer will spruce up the decor.

The carpeted garage.

Basketball court.

The lot is 3.7 acres and includes a private pond.

A gloriously hostile masterpiece whose time has come... The product of five years of jamming, equipment mooching, couch- surfing, and marathon self-editing, the record is at once supremely out of control and structured to the tiniest detail. — Drew Daniel

An ambitious marriage of ass-shaking rock dynamics, hard disk manipulation, ‘sound on sound’ concrete architecture and industrial strength electronics... Intellectually savage — David Keenan, The Wire

A truly great album... totally convinced of its own necessity and complete in its absurdity. From the perplexing cover art to its utterly indigestible length, there is no wink or nudge to suggest this is an elaborate put-on, no window left open to the real world... 8.5 — Jason Nickey, Pitchfork

What is Argo CD? And When Was Argo CD Established?

What Is Argo CD?

Argo CD is declarative Kubernetes GitOps continuous delivery.

In DevOps, ArgoCD is a Continuous Delivery (CD) technology that has become well-liked for delivering applications to Kubernetes. It is based on the GitOps deployment methodology.

When was Argo CD Established?

Argo CD was created at Intuit and made publicly available following Applatix’s 2018 acquisition by Intuit. The founding developers of Applatix, Hong Wang, Jesse Suen, and Alexander Matyushentsev, made the Argo project open-source in 2017.

Why Argo CD?

Declarative and version-controlled application definitions, configurations, and environments are ideal. Automated, auditable, and easily comprehensible application deployment and lifecycle management are essential.

Getting Started

Quick Start

kubectl create namespace argocd kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml

For some features, more user-friendly documentation is offered. Refer to the upgrade guide if you want to upgrade your Argo CD. Those interested in creating third-party connectors can access developer-oriented resources.

How it works

Argo CD defines the intended application state by employing Git repositories as the source of truth, in accordance with the GitOps pattern. There are various approaches to specify Kubernetes manifests:

Applications for Customization

Helm charts

JSONNET files

Simple YAML/JSON manifest directory

Any custom configuration management tool that is set up as a plugin

The deployment of the intended application states in the designated target settings is automated by Argo CD. Deployments of applications can monitor changes to branches, tags, or pinned to a particular manifest version at a Git commit.

Architecture

The implementation of Argo CD is a Kubernetes controller that continually observes active apps and contrasts their present, live state with the target state (as defined in the Git repository). Out Of Sync is the term used to describe a deployed application whose live state differs from the target state. In addition to reporting and visualizing the differences, Argo CD offers the ability to manually or automatically sync the current state back to the intended goal state. The designated target environments can automatically apply and reflect any changes made to the intended target state in the Git repository.

Components

API Server

The Web UI, CLI, and CI/CD systems use the API, which is exposed by the gRPC/REST server. Its duties include the following:

Status reporting and application management

Launching application functions (such as rollback, sync, and user-defined actions)

Cluster credential management and repository (k8s secrets)

RBAC enforcement

Authentication, and auth delegation to outside identity providers

Git webhook event listener/forwarder

Repository Server

An internal service called the repository server keeps a local cache of the Git repository containing the application manifests. When given the following inputs, it is in charge of creating and returning the Kubernetes manifests:

URL of the repository

Revision (tag, branch, commit)

Path of the application

Template-specific configurations: helm values.yaml, parameters

A Kubernetes controller known as the application controller keeps an eye on all active apps and contrasts their actual, live state with the intended target state as defined in the repository. When it identifies an Out Of Sync application state, it may take remedial action. It is in charge of calling any user-specified hooks for lifecycle events (Sync, PostSync, and PreSync).

Features

Applications are automatically deployed to designated target environments.

Multiple configuration management/templating tools (Kustomize, Helm, Jsonnet, and plain-YAML) are supported.

Capacity to oversee and implement across several clusters

Integration of SSO (OIDC, OAuth2, LDAP, SAML 2.0, Microsoft, LinkedIn, GitHub, GitLab)

RBAC and multi-tenancy authorization policies

Rollback/Roll-anywhere to any Git repository-committed application configuration

Analysis of the application resources’ health state

Automated visualization and detection of configuration drift

Applications can be synced manually or automatically to their desired state.

Web user interface that shows program activity in real time

CLI for CI integration and automation

Integration of webhooks (GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab)

Tokens of access for automation

Hooks for PreSync, Sync, and PostSync to facilitate intricate application rollouts (such as canary and blue/green upgrades)

Application event and API call audit trails

Prometheus measurements

To override helm parameters in Git, use parameter overrides.

React JS

Component-Based Architecture:

React applications are built using components, which are reusable, self-contained pieces of the UI. Components can be nested, managed, and handled independently, leading to better maintainability and scalability.

JSX (JavaScript XML):

React uses JSX, a syntax extension that allows HTML to be written within JavaScript. This makes the code more readable and easier to write.

Virtual DOM:

React maintains a virtual DOM, an in-memory representation of the actual DOM. When the state of an object changes, React updates the virtual DOM and efficiently determines the minimal set of changes needed to update the real DOM, leading to performance improvements.

One-Way Data Binding:

Data flows in one direction, from parent to child components, which makes the data flow and logic easier to understand and debug.

State Management:

React components can maintain internal state, making it easy to build dynamic and interactive UIs. For more complex state management, libraries like Redux or Context API can be used.

Advantages of Using React

Performance:

Due to the virtual DOM, React minimizes direct manipulation of the DOM, resulting in better performance for dynamic applications.

Reusable Components:

Components can be reused across different parts of an application, reducing the amount of code and enhancing consistency.

Strong Community and Ecosystem:

A large community and a rich ecosystem of tools and libraries support React, making it easier to find solutions, get support, and integrate with other technologies.

SEO Friendly:

React can be rendered on the server using Node.js, making web pages more SEO-friendly compared to traditional client-side rendering.

Getting Started with React

🛠 Modular .NET Core Architecture Explained: Why EasyLaunchpad Scales with You

Launching a SaaS product is hard. Scaling it without rewriting the codebase from scratch is even harder.

That’s why EasyLaunchpad was built with modular .NET Core architecture — giving you a powerful, clean, and extensible foundation designed to get your MVP out the door and support the long-term growth without compromising flexibility.

“Whether you’re a solo developer, a startup founder, or managing a small dev team, understanding the architecture under the hood matters. “ In this article, we’ll walk through how EasyLaunchpad’s modular architecture works, why it’s different from typical “template kits,” and how it’s designed to scale with your business.

💡 Why Architecture Matters

Most boilerplates get you started quickly but fall apart as your app grows. They’re rigid, tangled, and built with shortcuts that save time in the short term — while becoming a burden in the long run.

EasyLaunchpad was developed with one mission:

Build once, scale forever.

It follows clean, layered, and service-oriented architecture using .NET Core 8.0, optimized for SaaS and admin-based web applications.

🔧 Key Principles Behind EasyLaunchpad Architecture

Before diving into file structures or code, let’s review the principles that guide the architecture:

Principle and Explanation

Separation of Concerns — Presentation, logic, and data access layers are clearly separated

Modularity — Each major feature is isolated as a self-contained service/module

Extensibility — Easy to replace, override, or extend any part of the application

Dependency Injection- Managed using Autofac for flexibility and testability

Environment Awareness- Clean handling of app settings per environment (dev, staging, production)

📁 Folder & Layered Structure

Here’s how the core architecture is structured:

/Controllers

/Services

/Repositories

/Models

/Views

/Modules

/Jobs

/Helpers

/Configs

✔️ Controllers

Responsible for routing HTTP requests and invoking service logic. Kept minimal to adhere to the thin controller, fat service approach.

✔️ Services

All core business logic lives here. This makes testing easier and ensures modularity.

✔️ Repositories

All database-related queries and persistence logic are encapsulated in repository classes using Entity Framework Core.

✔️ Modules

Each major feature (auth, email, payment, etc.) is organized as a self-contained module. This allows plug-and-play or custom replacements.

🧩 What Makes EasyLaunchpad a Modular Boilerplate?

The magic of EasyLaunchpad lies in how it isolates and organizes functionality into feature-driven modules. Each module is independent, uses clean interfaces, and communicates through services — not tightly coupled logic.

✅ Modular Features

Modules and Their Functionality

Authentication- Login, password reset, Google login, Captcha

Admin Panel — User & role management, email settings, packages

Email System- DotLiquid templating, SMTP integration

Payment System- Stripe & Paddle modules, plan assignment

Job Scheduler- Hangfire setup for background tasks

Logging- Serilog for structured application logs

Package Management- Admin-defined SaaS plans & package logic

Each module uses interfaces and is injected via Autofac, which means you can:

Replace the Email service with SendGrid or MailKit

Swap out Stripe for PayPal

Extend authentication to include multi-tenancy or SSO

You’re not locked in — you’re empowered to scale.

🔄 Real-World Benefits of Modular Design

🛠 Maintainability

Code is easier to read, test, and update. You won’t dread revisiting it 6 months later.

🧪 Testability

Service and repository layers can be unit tested in isolation, which is perfect for CI/CD pipelines.

🔌 Plug-in/Plug-out Flexibility

Need to add analytics, invoicing, or multi-language support? Just drop a new module in /Modules and wire it up.

🧠 Developer Onboarding

New developers can understand and work on just one module without needing to grok the entire codebase.

🧱 Vertical Scaling

Whether you’re adding new features, scaling your user base, or serving enterprise clients, the codebase stays manageable.

🧠 Example: Adding a Chat Module

Let’s say you want to add real-time chat to your SaaS app.

In a modular structure, you’d:

Create a /Modules/Chat folder

Add models, services, and controllers related to messaging

Inject dependencies using interfaces and Autofac

Use Razor or integrate SignalR for real-time interaction

The existing app remains untouched. No spaghetti code. No conflicts.

⚙️ Supporting Technologies That Make It All Work

The architecture is powered by a solid tech stack:

Tool and the Purpose

.NET Core 8.0- Fast, stable, and LTS-supported

Entity Framework Core- ORM for SQL Server (or other DBs)

Razor Pages + MVC- Clean separation of views and logic

Autofac- Dependency injection across services

Serilog- Logging with structured output

Hangfire- Background jobs & task scheduling

Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI- Modern, responsive UI framework

DotLiquid- Flexible email templating engine

🚀 A Boilerplate That Grows with You

Most boilerplates force you to rewrite or rebuild when your app evolves.

EasyLaunchpad doesn’t.

Instead, it’s:

Startup-ready for quick MVPs

Production-ready for scaling

Enterprise-friendly with structure and discipline built in

💬 What Other Devs Are Saying

“I used EasyLaunchpad to go from idea to MVP in under a week. The modular codebase made it easy to add new features without breaking anything.” – A .NET SaaS Founder

🧠 Conclusion: Why Architecture Is Your Competitive Edge

As your product grows, the quality of your architecture becomes a bottleneck — or a launchpad.

With EasyLaunchpad, you get:

A clean foundation

Production-tested modules

Flexibility to scale

All without wasting weeks on repetitive setup.

It’s not just a .NET boilerplate. It’s a scalable SaaS starter kit built for serious developers who want to launch fast and grow with confidence.
