Here we go, the app is now public on Github and has its first release that can be installed on Windows and Linux! https://github.com/roschlau/catana
The app is now in a state where it can technically be used, although lots of important features are still missing before it can be considered anywhere near production-ready, that's gonna be a long march. I'll keep chipping away on it :)
the quality of Lego bricks is far superior to any of their competitors
That is flat out wrong. It was true a couple of years ago, but things have changed rapidly recently.
Lego's quality has dropped quite a bit in the last 40 years, while some competitors have caught up and superseded. Sure, it's still mostly pretty good, but things like brittle brown or the lime bionicle joints should be ample evidence that Lego is by far not infallible.
And if you look at the quality of current day bricks - Lego is having huge consistency issues, especially when it comes to certain colors, but also the bricks themselves. Running over the flat back of my Tudor Corner with a fingernail reveals inconsistencies in the width of regular bricks. Huge visible mold marks are everywhere. These issues were much less present 40 years ago, and high-quality competitors like Pantasy or Lumibricks are currently outcompeting Lego on basically every quality metric (except maybe glossy tile surfaces), at half the price.
Bluebrixx is still somewhat hit-or-miss when it comes to quality. If you want to see the best and most consistent stuff out there, give Pantasy or Lumibricks (previously Funwhole) a shot!
Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don't count for that much
Kids will do stupid things sometimes, no avoiding that. In Germany you can pass a stopped bus on the other side of the road, but if it has its hazards on, you can't go faster than walking speed.
Then it would've been "against her brother" though, not "against my brother"
not want your partner to cheat
IMO cheating is by definition something your partner does not want. Defining cheating as a certain set of actions that everyone agrees on independent of the relationship is a dead end. If you instead define cheating as "knowingly violating your partner's boundaries" (and make sure to talk about those boundaries!), everything becomes so much easier
That, and also, it's a very straightforward, narrow-scoped functionality. LLMs are pretty good with that kind of thing. It's complexity they struggle with
I'll do that for sure! Just gotta build it out a little more first, it's too early right now to start inviting contributions. The core structures of the app are still changing too much for that to not just end up in chaos
So, after finishing my previous project, I have now actually started working on this, working title "Catana". It's not usable at all yet but I feel pretty good about where it's going right now, so I thought I'd put something here to get some public accountability to help keep motivation up, lol.
Here's a quick demo of what I have so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyTTfCJxrRQ
I've got the core data model and editing actions down, the two next big steps are adding an equivalent to supertags, and actually being able to save things. Right now it's in-memory only and resets on every restart, which makes it a lot easier to iterate on the data model quickly. The way it's looking right now, I'm probably not going for full markdown-compatibility for the storage layer. That would bring with it some immense complexity that I don't feel like tackling this early on. Instead, I'm planning to save data in a custom (but still open) format, and then in the future add markdown import/export separately, as well as general integration with the file system (representing arbitrary folders and files on your device as Nodes so you can link and manage them directly without leaving the app).
I already have a rudimentary Tana import working though! Since Tana is the main inspiration for the data model, their export shape is pretty easy to map to Catana's internal model. It still needs a lot of refinement to be actually useful beyond testing the app quickly with a large, existing dataset, but it's a very good start.
So, uh, yeah, if you're still interested, I'll keep you posted!
It's not about that, it's about "% per 100k" making no sense as a unit. It's either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you've clearly messed something up and don't quite understand what you're actually talking about.
