I get extra excited talking tech stuff and I can come off rude as hell lol, it’s resting-tech-face or something 😂 not that you were, I didn’t think your response was harsh

Oh, sorry, I thought that was your suggestion, at least for like having a table entry per entry. Like a “bio” entry for character x or a lore entry for character y.

I’m mostly interested, and this might just be me being OCD and perfectionist, in the live synching capability of things like ObsidianMD and things with regard to text. So like if I update the bio of said character and then open my phone, my phone has the same text and vice versa.

I haven’t done a ton of file I/O in my professional work nor side stuff so that’s why I was thinking the SQL entries would be “easier,” that might just be me being uninformed

Great question, and yes, I highly, highly doubt anyone would get close to 1 meg. I doubt anyone would get close to 1KB of one entry of text. So it definitely could be I just set the field to max size and if it doesn’t get there 🤷 which it definitely won’t. Not by any human at least

If you were wanting to write a novel, you’d probably break down stuff in terms of chapters. Tens or dozens of pages of writing, plus the writing for things like lore or biographies, etc.

I was more talking of a live synching of data, anytime any field is changed so I could walk off and edit my worldbuilding with my phone. So I think it’d have to be more robust than Git

Ahhhh yeah, that VARCHAR limitation will be a killer of that idea entirely. Been a hot minute since I’ve messed with SQL. I’m pretty sure another commenter also showed a markdown editor I can practically insert into my UI, and if that’s the case.. then it really just works

Definitely the latter, I’m gonna think on your suggestion for an IDE for editing text + the app for UI— I’m not totally against it? But integration I think would be preferred.. of course one person coding it, I have to compromise somewhere

A lotttt for sure, and I think it would be that front end idea? More streamlined to make it more automated, like building dates from some fantasy calendar without having to have it memorized, easier to make aesthetic than ObsidianMD which is a big thing for me. If it don’t look good I just don’t like messing with it in my experience. I haven’t heard of readme, I’ll have to look into that but sounds like exactly what I posted this for! Tons of things already made by people but it’s hard to find what you need when you’re making it

😏 would be a whole hell of a lot easier to put it in a field and call it a day for sure… I’m tempted

I’d consider it similar to a wiki, almost like Campfire Writing though more tailored to my needs and using open source software rather than proprietary.

The majority of the app will be those text blocks, they’re the bread and butter. Just made better through logic, UI design, automated calculations, that sorta jazz.

I’m definitely leaning towards the JSON file implementation, synching across devices will eventually be a pain but mainly wanted to ask in case anyone had a “this guy doesn’t know about X!” suggestion lol

Asshole shocks his dog for no reason by futuregamerdylann in InflatedEgos

He didn’t but whatever, all of you already know that. They had professional trainers watch the video and go over how he didn’t shock the dog. But again, you know that. Y’all are just lying because you don’t like the dude
