latest devlog is just me debugging a fair amount after giving project to a friend for testing
There don't seem to be any good casual stock price viewing apps for Linux. I want something similar to the default 'stocks' app in macOS, where you can just view prices from yahoo finance or something.
I'm pretty sure that google gemini could've done this better, shorter, & nicer in like 2 seconds (or an experienced coder in like 2 minutes). I'm still doing this, though; wonder how hard it would be to just buy a flipper zero.
What I did today:
* Finished most/all intended features
* Debugged for a fair amount of time
* Rewrote some bits
* Added GitHub repo to hackclub.com project
I am going to work on the gtk4 GUI next, don't know how basic or advanced I'll make that, probably leaning towards a smaller, out-of-the-way widget-style thing.
The code is probably hot garbage, but it runs and seems to work.
PyCharm & Kagi have been really useful for this project and learning python in general.
Mostly finished the terminal version. Going to finish, debug, polish, etc. After that, I'll be moving on to adapting it to a GTK4 GUI, so that'll be interesting.
Messing with regex for good inputs
I run a satirical newspaper that has gone semi-official after we got suspended for it. I need to make a website for it.
Man, I have no idea what I'm doin'
Just figuring out some logic and input parsing
figuring out logic, how to do somethings. I've never programmed before, so all this is kinda new to me.
The default GNOME weather app isn't the best it could be. I kinda like the macOS one, but it too, could be better. I figure it'll be fun to design and make by own weather app. I plan on using GTK & python.
This is my personal website.
Just figuring out what I want this to do, setting groundwork and planning.
A program to roll d&d dice, with various effects. Eventually going to write a GTK4 GUI for it. First foray into actual coding (that's not a BASH script or something), so I'm learning python too.
This was widely regarded as a great move by everyone.
