hi guys c: @frigid saddle @upper yacht

upper yacht
#

@dire fox, idk the details since this was moreso a hardware project than a software one but there’s a library available that lets you access or write data to the db from android studio

robust bramble
#

so you say Android Studio and Firebase?

frigid saddle
#

wrong epic lmao

upper yacht
#

On lmao

upper yacht
#

I’m sure there’s better/cleaner/easier ways to implement it

frigid saddle
#

i think you could do everything with JS, since it's what you know

robust bramble
#

tbh I was 1st thinking to an application but idk how to do it while I know how to do a basic website

#

like android studio could be an interesting challenge

upper yacht
#

Just make sure you have a compétant computer because ram usage go brrrr

frigid saddle
#

you'll probably need to know java or kotlin, not too sure

#

yeah android studio hogs lots of ram

robust bramble
frigid saddle
#

should be enough

robust bramble
#

I went on 32Go a few days ago

#

just do play to The Last Of Us tbh xDD

#

and Hogwart Legacy

#

cause when I was playing these game my RAM was on 100% usage

#

but I always have the sensation that when I don't have any game opened my RAM usage is still quite high /:

#

like on the screenshot you can see 10.6Go I just have Steam, Chrome, Discord and Spotify opened

frigid saddle
#

ye it's normal

upper yacht
#

It’s a pretty cool project idea that can spiral in a lot of different directions. You can add hardware if you want autodetection or ML/computer vison too

upper yacht
frigid saddle
#

well ,there's chrome in teh bunch

#

and discord is an electron app

upper yacht
#

But also not a lot if you have a lot of chrome tabs

#

All apps are electron based in the end tbh

frigid saddle
#

anyway, what you should do first off is really define what you want your project to do

#

is adding ingredients and quantity enough for you

robust bramble
#

I was thinking adding a 3rd option

#

the location

#

where is it

#

and like when you add a product you can tell where it is

frigid saddle
#

alright, it doesn't add a lot of complexity

robust bramble
#

yes

#

and last thing, let's imagine when I created the app or the site I didn't think to something, being able to add a product

#

and maybe if it's not too difficult a searchbar

#

that's all

#

and just, can I make it sort automatically in alphabetic order?

frigid saddle
#

yes, all these things seem not too hard to make

upper yacht
#

None of those sound too difficult

robust bramble
#

ye I don't think it's too difficult

#

I downloaded android studio to take a look

#

then to chose what I do

upper yacht
#

The only recommendation I have if you use android studio is to also use some sort of version control

robust bramble
#

wdym?

upper yacht
#

Like git

#

So you can go back to a previous version in case it stops working

robust bramble
#

ok

#

I hate git cause I never understood how to work with it but fine

upper yacht
#

Yeah, it’s a bit tricky to understand at first

frigid saddle
#

it's normal if nobody explains it to you

#

i also struggled with it

upper yacht
#

It took me a few weeks (and accidentally putting my private key as a commit message a few times) to wrap my head around it

robust bramble
upper yacht
#

Good luck on the project tho

robust bramble
#

thx :3

robust bramble
#

so, here is a quick design of what it's supposed to looks like at the end

frigid saddle
#

how do you change the quantity of an item

robust bramble
#

I don't think so

#

xD

#

no I forgot tbh

#

but my mother told me she needed that products be displays in categories...

robust bramble
#

"main page" surely final design

#

What is this

robust bramble
#

where I'll have all my food products

#

and I can see whenever I want my stocks

#

whithout even needing to open anything

#

and it'll be sort by categories

#

and I'll be able to search for products

ashen jay
#

Sounds like a lot of work no

robust bramble
#

just I've never done something like that

#

but hey

#

I'll be able to flex when ppl will come at home

robust bramble
#

so

#

I think that I should use Vue JS

#

a thing I never used but

#

that's fine?

#

I hope so

frigid saddle
#

it is fine for a front app

robust bramble
#

ye

#

there wont be a lot of backend

frigid saddle
#

oh btw, my question yesterday was because changing the quantity of the goods seems important to me, so it should be very easily feasable

#

a + and a - button

robust bramble
#

c:

frigid saddle
#

cool, now please make it larger

#

the goal is to have it on mobile right? so it should be stupidly large and round

#

as tall as "Cookies"

#

that's because it's very easy to misclick on mobile, even more than on desktop 🙂

#

the larger the button, the less chances you do - instead of +, or you just misclick and don't tap on either

robust bramble
#

yes

#

you're right

#

but for now I'm watching VueJS tutorial

robust bramble
#

hey

#

I was reading documentation of Vue since I had nothing to do of my life

#

it tells to do everything in a single file?! wtf

#

like I'm going to get lost

frigid saddle
#

everything? that’s strange, it’s bad for the mental model of your thing

robust bramble
#

yes I created a structure outside of vue just to know how I'm going to articulate this and it ruins it
