Happy news! Buckled down on the notes utility again and got quite a lot more working today. Finally got the pagination to cooperate, got regex search working, got note deletion and editing taken care of, and generally note creation and management is good to go! The main tasks left to do before it's in a release-ready state (though probably not a pretty state, but it'll have all the functionality) are finishing up user management, figuring out encryption and password-protection, getting export functionality going so notes can be backed up, and adding a user settings menu so people can do things like choose their preferred editor, configure the size of pages when viewing notes, and otherwise customize the experience. Next thing we're tackling is archiving the notes of deleted users, which won't take long at all. For notes in directory to be deleted, move note to archive directory. Not a complicated thing. Thank goodness, pagination was unexpectedly a pain, mostly because we're definitely still learning Python. Ooh, maybe we should color the text.
The meeting we were supposed to have today didn't happen. We haven't gotten a response email yet either. I'm beginning to wonder if the other person is okay- she was out with medical issues and had to postpone previously, so I'm worried that maybe she's having medical problems again. I hope not. She's very kind and I hope she's okay. We've been a bit on edge because not having the meeting threw off the schedule, but we did harness it to break procrastination and work on the notes utility, so not all bad!
