Had a horrible time getting to sleep last night- think it was around 8:00 am before we managed it? Thanks, anxiety. Remarkably functional given we're running on 5 or 6 hours, probably going to crash and burn later.
Planning to work more on the notes utility today. Current goal is setting up note editing and searching, which means finding a way to filter a list of files into groups of 20 (or 10, or 50, or 100- that's going to be a setting later) and display them one chunk at a time. Haven't had to do that before and no idea how to go about it in Python- if anyone knows, please email us here. Help is very appreciated. Will be doing our own research to learn it but it's entirely possible that we do it incredibly badly. Same goes for fuzzy finding.
Hm, maybe we should put note editing and viewing in the same submenu? Might make more logical sense since it's going to be the same view, just with one opening and editing the file and with the other opening and viewing them. Not that different. Probably more user-friendly too.
Oh- editor environment choice works beautifully, forgot to say earlier. If there's an environment variable, that's used. If not, currently it defaults to nano but we should really implement a "what editor do you want to use?" question and put an option in settings.
This is honestly a really good learning project for Python, especially when it comes to file management with it.
Outside of tech, fireworks are already starting in little bursts. As early as 2pm. It's daylight, people! What is there to see? Is it that hard to wait? It was one of the illegal ones too. Terrifying.
