    I like Manjaro

    • I like it
    • Its user friendly if you don’t want to spend a month fiddling with it
    • Feels comfy and relatively lightweight
    • If you are living on the edge of latest and greatest versions, it can be a pain to wait for official repos to be updated. Though I only noticed this problem with Discord desktop app, however since I realised that it spies on every process that runs and you cannot turn that feature off. Uninstalled. Problem gone. Happy me.













  • Thank you for the suggestions, I tried a bunch and nothing immediately fit. Most were either too complicated for me to create the relationships or I couldn’t get the thing locally running (or there wasn’t a self hosted option)… Basically stupid user syndrome 😑 😤.

    So went back to the drawing board of writing a webapp and after a few experiments realised that… All I needed was a calendar with pre-canned event titles, groups for colour to highlight different events… silly me, all I needed was a calendar…

    Ended up re-inventing something looking very much like a calendar… sigh… do I carry on or look for some kind of lightweight calendar :/ Just need to have ability to quickly create pre-canned events, would be nice if the events could be related…

    On the other hand, its kinda fun to re-invent a calendar haha!

    Here is a colour version… totally a calendar 🤣



  • Looking to replicate something like this (with a weekly/monthly/ect views, maybe monthly view can look different since it would be too long to scroll, but anyway, it looks like arse but was just giving it a go), but didn’t want to have to create a full webapp (with CRUD data inserts, pagination ect… its certainly doable, but just annoying to implement). This is just a simple index view in a random framework I found, with some real, but pre-canned data via db seeding (so at least I can re-create it easily). Just thought there could be something easier that already exists and i wouldn’t have to be re-inventing the wheel. Have a paper version of this, but its too hard to keep track of different foods via paper.

    Spreadsheet sounds interesting (read easier) to try, though I am not quite sure how to do the lookup bits. Would it be something like one table (sheet) of events feeding from say, food type table (sheet) and some kind of a month view that can accumulate events on the same day?

    PS: yes got a vet appointment coming up soon.
