The last blog post has been a while and, of course, I forgot to publish the September update post (where I did mention that I forgot to publish the one from June,
|
|
so going full circle there...) *ANYWAY*
|
|
|
|
I have been a bit too busy over the last few months, so there isn't really much of progress to be shown on my personal projects,
|
|
however, I am part of a project now as well that will soon show up on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
My exams are soon over and I will again have some time to work on my own projects.
|
|
The projects I plan to work on are, in order of precedence:
|
|
|
|
|
|
# EyeTAP
|
|
This is the project I am part of that has seen quite some work and will continue to see a fairly extensive amount of work over the next few weeks
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Shopping List App
|
|
The name of this app is still TBD, but what it will allow you to do is create, as the placeholder name implies, shopping lists.
|
|
The product data however can be fetched from the API or website of your local retailer and I will be providing a platform on which you can create and edit schemas for these websites.
|
|
|
|
This allows me to focus on the core app experience, whilst leaving it partially up to you to integrate the retailers.
|
|
I will be providing some retailers myself though.
|
|
|
|
In terms of features:
|
|
- Integration with many retailers' offerings
|
|
- Create menus to which you can associate products that you then can easily add to your shopping list
|
|
- If the retailer offers it, a section with the discounts
|
|
- Sync between devices that are logged into the same account (paid feature, likely a few bucks a year subscription)
|
|
- Apple Watch App
|
|
- Will be iOS exclusive, at least initially (I cannot guarantee there ever will be an Android app)
|
|
- May replace StorageManager in its current form, but the current feature set of StorageManager will be retained and improved upon and integrated with the new app.
|
|
This would mean that you can use the retailer's data and images for the products you have and have low-stock warnings that (automatically or manually)
|
|
add your products to the shopping list.
|
|
|
|
As you can see, there are quite a few interesting ideas around.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Conductor Calc
|
|
It seems like I say that I will work on this every blog post... but now, things are actually starting to move.
|
|
I have worked out all the updates to the account system that I need to do, I have chosen the tech stack and I have a proof of concept for the browser version in the works.
|
|
|
|
So, maybe I will actually be able to achieve the end-of-march launch date for the sofware, but that may be a bit of a stretch.

# LaTeX helpers
|
|
I am planning to update my LaTeX helpers to be a true LaTeX package and to also update some commands that are a bit weird.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Website
|
|
And yes, I have not forgotten about my website update, I just did not have the motivation to spend time thinking about design for it.
|
|
The website update will happen eventually, but it is the lowest priority of almost all the projects (minus `archmgr`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
# archmgr
|
|
I am still not quite sure this is the name I want to go for, but the idea of this project is to provide a NixOS like declarative config for an Arch Linux system.
|
|
This means that you can declaratively install packages and your configs.
|
|
|
|
The initial goal is to support only the user's configs, but a future goal will be to also do a full OS install using it, with all the system configs as well.
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, it will use `git` for version control of your configs (as that makes a lot of sense).
