Developing 2 apps side by side on my Raspberry Pi 4 / Ubuntu is taxing but quite exhilarating. To be busy with something worthwhile is good for the spirit. Last night, Sis pwned me for my “useless” efforts. But soon she saw the value of my 3 humble apps, built by slinging mud at a wall and never giving up on the features and functionality I wanted for myself and my users. That same spirit that once gave the 3gs LittlePad / Displaced Qwerty, and Browse -the fastest Edge / 2g web browser on iPhone.
Later, we’ll be at the Sogo area for cloth shopping. Haven’t much ideas what to buy for myself except a nice lunch. More later…
Vrs is almost finished. There was some conflict in my mind whether to add nifty features, buttons, panes etc. or to simplify the workflow, Apple style. In the end, the original basic UI managed to handle most what a student / reader would need, which was fortunate. Search, explore further, then annotate. Need to generate a JSON annotations file. No idea how to do that. Otherwise, this app is done!
It’s getting late. Just finished vrs. Quite happy with it. But the daunting complexity of Drafter is causing me procrastination big time. Maybe just solve one thing tonight, the edit row. Then if possible the fuzzy button highlighting. A slow day for the witchy Liews where prophecy went against them. More later…
Had to fix a slew of bugs in vrs during testing so was unable to code Drafter last night and this morning. Poor logic due to my brain damage. But in the end my Bible search-explore app is out of beta. Took a much needed shower. I think I fell asleep on the floor last night.
Yet to go on my run. Will do an evening session around 6pm. Right now there’s a lot of work to finish. I chiseled off the pointy end of my nib holder and smoothed it round with a pencil sharpener. I had always wanted a stubby ergonomic nib holder. I also like my pastel highlighters which work well with the Pelikan ink line work. The folks will be at the new house all day for deliveries. Gotta eat that frog so JT Foxx says.
