Exciting (for me at least lol) News!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I last logged in to Tumblr, which seems weird because it was such a huge part of my teenage life lol. I've been super busy focusing on my coding projects and, well, life in general 😅. But I have some awesome updates to share!

🎉 My New Website & YouTube Channel! 🎉

I've launched a brand new website where I'll be sharing blog posts about my current and upcoming projects, behind-the-scenes insights, and more! Plus, my YouTube channel is up and running, featuring code-along videos of my latest projects, including a Tarot reading app, a (as of yet unfinished) Stardew Valley clone, and more!

🔗 Check Them Out Here:

Website: aprilmaycodes.com

YouTube Channel: April May Codes

On my website, you'll find detailed blog posts about the projects I'm working on, tutorials, my #100DaysofCode progress, and even some personal reflections on my coding journey. And on my YouTube channel, you can follow along as I build apps and games from scratch!

I'm so excited to connect with all of you and share what I've been working on. Your support means the world to me, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on my new content!

Thanks for all your support, and happy coding! 💻✨

One of the things I resent most about being Animal Brain Apex Predator trapped in Maximum Productivity Society is that I have to work when the weather is gross, instead of following my natural instinct to burrow myself into something dry and soft and sleep until Optimal Foraging Conditions

It is dark and cold and wet and miserable and I have a warm dark quiet hideaway full of food and drinking water that is safe from interlopers and for some ungodly reason instead of holing up there to conserve my energy, I am standing up in a brightly lit beige room for several hours. A possum wouldn't put up with this shit. I'm going to bite someone

Yes it’s very important for solidarity with workers but, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, workers should have solidarity with poor customers. Like ignore shoplifting, be sensitive when ppl are using EBT cards, that kinda thing.

[stonehengemony]

If you work retail and you worry about shoplifters I beg you to remember how little money you’re being paid to do this

[dont-pray-for-my-sins]

and also no matter what your boss says to you, someone shoplifting will not cause your wages to be docked. if it DOES, then you can get in contact with a labor attourney, who will proceed to light up like a kid at christmas because they (and you) are about to get a big fat payday. that shit is ridiculously illegal.

Remember kids, the largest form of theft in this country is wage theft, and it's not because of poor people trying to get by.

the crushing guilt of being unproductive vs the exhaustion of being burned out. fight.

Round 5 Day 4

Decided to take a break from my homeschool app to work on a new project. Attempting to make a Tarot journal in kivy. I've made one before with flask so I think I know how I want the database set up, but after creating the login/register stuff I realized I wasn't sure how to link tables without flask-sqlalchemy. Will probably try to figure it out in a few days.

In the meantime, I went back to my homeschool app and actually made some progress. I got the quiz page to bring up the information I needed it to, so now I'm onto styling. Which I fucking hate lol. But the app is working how it's supposed to so far, so I'd say it's been a good day progress wise.

Round 5 Day 2

I made it pretty! Pretty ish, at least. I've got a functional login and register page. Now I'm stuck when it comes to creating the quiz page. I want it to just select the current lesson, but I'm not sure the best way to do that. Maybe just add to the user table a current_lesson_id column that updates when a lesson is completed. Actually, yeah that sounds way simpler than what I'd been trying. Will go with that tomorrow.

Back up on my bullshit - Round 5 Day 1

Well, it's been a couple months shy of a year, it's about time I try the #100daysofcode challenge again. Round 4 didn't go so well. And after losing all my projects I hit a bit of a wall. But, I've been spending about an hour a day coding lately anyway, so we'll see how far I make it this time!

First up, a homeschool manager that we can use for the kids lesson planning. The goal is something that tracks their progress through the curriculum, and when you click quiz it will generate some example questions for the lesson they're on and leave room to input their score. Once they've mastered a lesson, the next quiz will move on to the next one. I'd also like a progress bar on the homepage for how far they've gotten through each subject.

Eventually I'd like to make it with Kivy, but I'm still learning how to work with databases with Kivy. I've been spoiled by Flask and Sqlalchemy, and now I want everything to be as simple as table.column when I'm trying to access it, lol.

But I've got a good starting point, and some other project ideas for when I inevitably hit a wall with this one. Wish me luck!

Todays Progress: Created the basic flask structure and got the database up and running. Created user registration and login (just with a username, I'm not worried about using passwords for this since it's just for the kids). I think I've got the database structure how I want it, but we'll see. Probably gonna work on styling the registration and login pages next, but maybe not since I hate web design 😂 I don't want to have to do it all at the end though so I really should. Otherwise, I'll work on adding the ability to add lessons from the app.

On this April 1st, it is my very sad duty to inform you all that you just lost the game

Day 11/100

I managed to lose ALL of my projects because I'm a fucking idiot and wasn't paying attention to the tutorial to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows, and so instead I replaced Windows with Ubuntu. And lost all of my project folders. And while none of my projects were complete or worthy enough of sharing that I was willing to put them on github (where they would have been safe from my mistake)... It's still a lot that they're gone. I've been learning to code for like a year and a half now. I'd put a lot of time and energy into them.. and now they're just gone. And, it's a lot. I'm still processing it, tbh.

Anyway, I decided to start rebuilding my tarot journal. It was one of the first real projects that I built, and I've got some ideas about incorporating astrology into it this time, like a transit tracker and a journal. Today I got the basic flask structure set up, and then spent a lot of time getting used to the libraries that I'll be using. Figured out how to generate a chart and get the data from it. Gonna work on the register/login parts next.

Day 3/100

I think I'm done with this. It works. It's as pretty as it's gonna get lol. Gonna go pick a new thing to work on now.

Day 2/100

I can now add images with my ugly little app!

[wormwig]

it’s 12:52 am. You shut your laptop. You were looking at tumblr. You go to bed and turn out the light. It’s 12:54 am. You open your phone and get on tumblr. You have adhd.

Day 1/100

I made an ugly little tkinter app to post to Twitter. Will post "Day (day)/100. (your tweet here) #100DaysofCode"

Gonna made it prettier tomorrow. Maybe. I really hate styling stuff so we'll see lol. Wanna be able to add images with it eventually too
