damn. Good features. I was hoping to move onto this as part of the portfolio pieces/improve habits self hosted DB thing I’m working on, but for now I guess I can learn some of the things I don’t know how to do yet (like shipping to other people!) from your team.

How are you planning on reacting to the android freedoms getting compromised? I’m literally working on the android app for mine now, and it bums me out that they’re going to put more invasions of privacy for deploying apps to your own phone.

Also, are you planning to make money from this somehow? If yes, how?

Maybe try it from the other way around : look for tutorials that help you achieve your goals, and contextualise the tutorial to your project.

I am wrapping up the Django tutorial because I needed to make a database that held the information on where I put my taxes instead of just ramming them in the downloads folder. I just followed the django tutorial on the official website, but changed variable names etc to make it suit my needs.

I’m also working on improving my bash skills. I made a clock chime to learn cases :

Contributing is what you do to other people’s projects once you are done making your own stupid things, and feel confident you will improve rather than ruin other people’s stuff.

The problem is, things never feel like they are complete. There’s always more you can do.

I might do some contribs to lichess once I am done with my current stuff.

Shameless plug : I recently finished a longterm project :

I’m trying to get established, I’ve just got a few more things to sort out before I can start putting stuff out there regularly.

I make music and write programs

if you hate JS and think it’s dumb, but still have to use it, look into Eloquent Javascript (free) https://eloquentjavascript.net/ and the mozilla docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript.

Eloquent JS is written by someone who also hates JS, but understands it very well.

I used them while I worked on the Microtonal Music Grid (still in progress)
