What I Did Today: 21-Feb
I'm not really sure about these Markdown blogs. I don't like that I have to be in my IDE to write this? I guess it makes sense as a dev blog since I'm already here but it just doesn't seem intuitive. Not sure how long this will last. I'll probably try to find some way to put my Pika blog here? But then that would be a separate blog to maintain. Oh well. Some progress today...
What I Accomplished Today
Synthesia
Overall, I spent way too long trying to implement a pagination feature that I could have probably done in half the time with a third party library. There is merit in figuring it out yourself but not merit in spending three precious hours only to end up at a cruddy solution. It happens like that... but at least I made it work by the end.
- [x] Add a “progress swatch” on picker pages
- [x] Store colors temporarily instead of submtiting them to the database every time
- [x] Storing users color selection in local browser storage cache
- [x] Improved? palette UI sliiightly
Other
- Made a Bluesky account with my real name and profile photo on a whim (yikes!)
- Went for a short but pleasant walk in the morning. It wasn't the most meditative but yesterday I was feeling sick and didn't go outside at all (lmao) so that's a win
- Feeling mentally free to enjoy my Friday evening, as I should, instead of feeling like I didn't accomplish enough this week. Okay...
