Agreed. I released Snapp publicly just so the community can use it.

It's always a bit of a risk to change direction away from a 
well-recognized module to an alternative, since you are - at first - 
entering the unknown. But you did that by adopting CAP originally.

I have precisely the same reaction as you to Mojolicious' 
automated-hamburger-with-the-lot approach.

Yes - it's writing the real guts of the app which is always the 
challenge, and I do love to see how others have done it, since I'm very 
visual like that. If too much is automated, what's to see?

My choice of templater is Text::Xslate.

Thanx for the positive feedback. I'm delighted to say I don't think any 
of my time was wasted.

As some of you might know, I take care of my mother who has Alzheimer's, 
so I'm at home all day with plenty of time available.
