I added some TODOs, wrote a README, and set up builds + did some other smaller things!!

I MADE IT WORK WOOOHOOO
In these 4 hours of grinding I've done so many things (for example, I've streamlined a lot of code and handled many edge cases!!) You can now add 'states' to tags - they're basically a counter you can add to and remove from using logs and they're the main idea behind this app!

So yeah, MVP! Who cheered! (Next up: docs and maybe, hopefully, cadences).

I worked a lot, lot, lot on reading! You can read tags now and the tables are nicer and slighly more informational :)

I also did some other, more minor things (especially trying to improve my spaghetti code). Oh, anyway!

I updated some things and did some refactoring! One notable thing: a finalized tag deletion flow!

What's that? Oh, a ~~table~~!

I strayed a bit from my initial roadmap and added some important features, like
- data controls (including resetting the app data folder) and
- tag controls (including tag deletion).

Next up, I'm gonna try and finish some other important things (like deleting logs) and make it a bit prettier (tables are REALLY NECESSARY).

I've started work on this project! For now it's barely working, but I'm about halfway through my checklist:

• [x] Basic interface setup
• [x] Database and data folder (SQLite, stored in OS-appropriate user data dir)
• [x] Basic tag storage (flat tag.subtag IDs, semantic nesting only in UI)
• [x] Interface to create tags and write logs
• [ ] Interface to read last n logs
• - [x] Log reading logic
• - [x] Basic log printing logic
• // ...

So yeah!!! I'm gonna start working on table output (desperately needed), log deletion and advanced log features: stateful logs and hopefully soon cadences.

I made some design changes, most prominently to the poetry section!!

I started work on this website! I added a few things, like a short index and also a few poems I've written and liked. Hopefully I can add more stuff tomorrow!

Starting work on this project! I hopped around trying things for my tech stack and chose -
- rich, for terminal output (I was thinking of using textualize, but I found that'd be overkill),
- typer, for handling the cli, and
- TinyDB, for storing streaks and perhaps other data.

I think it's okay, right?? I hope???? Hopefully????

Oh, and I also set up Poetry. It's a bit finnicky (or maybe I am), but it's pretty nice!

Two new features! /answer and /define, which rely on APIs for Wolfram Alpha, Merriam-Webster and Urban Dictionary!!! This was, um, hell to implement, but hey!!

I tried (and failed) to make a /motivate command which created inspirational images. I got 2/3s of the way there but it's just very hard to do within my timeframe (the satori library I'm using is finnicky and also I'm dumb). It's okay though! I did some good work on other things, and I hope I can do some more stuff before Converge ends!! (Also, sorry for the last devlog. I was sleepy.)

I spent some work on adding a few new features and adding a few other ones!

Woah! What's that - a new feature?!!?! If it isn't /soothsay, an 8-ball-like clairvoyance thingy!

I'm working on the layouts for a new inspirational quotes feature!

IT'S WORKING (kind of) (somewhat) (give me some time) (pls dont make me confront reality i am happy right now)

WOOHOO! IT WORKS! IT WORKS GUYS! IT'S WORKING! WOOHOO!

I've been working on updating the code and adding a new feature! It is a command supposed to make a framed faux-screenshot of someone's message - you know, for the sillies. But it's hard! I'm trying to use Vercel's Satori library + reSVG, although I've been having quite a bit of trouble as I'm using NodeJS w/ CommonJS modules (because I'm too lazy to make everything use ES modules). Wish me luck!

Started work! I set up discord.js, npm and git and added a few basic commands.

I made a bunch of improvements to performance, added binaries for more architectures and added tiny things (like adding file links to filenames in previews). I also wrote a neat README file and submitted my project to TerminalCraft!!

woah, improvements!!! I:
- successfully packaged the app for various platforms
- brute forced my way through GitHub actions
- made some quite dramatic performance improvements
- updated the CLI, making it more intuitive and adding more settings
- wrote a README file, including documentation

woohoo!!!

UHhhhhh. I kindof forgot what I was doing yesterday. And I also forgot to devlog! Oh no! And it's broken! It's okay though. I'll fix it tomorrow.

I'm so sorry for the lack of devlogs so far - I just coded for checks notes a day straight. I have a working version now! Basic functionality! Arguments! Pretty errors! Syntax highlighting! It's a lot. I'm quite proud!

Woohoo, the form finally works (kind of!)

I've been sitting at the computer for hours trying to figure out Svelte, haha. And I've also never really coded an app before, so that's a lot of firsts. It's been fun and a bit tiring.
