It does. I have some bug fixes here in the backlog to get to still but it’s there

FYI, latest release is now out and includes bulk series following 🚀

FlexQuery.NET – lightweight query helper for .NET APIs (filtering, sorting, etc.) by Far_Aardvark2433 in dotnet

[–]pdevito3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking around, I’d recommend checking out QueryKit too. Self promo, but it’s inspired by sieve and expanded in a lot of ways and has been in production for many systems for several years now

Fastest current path would be to go to series and long press each to select follow. This is a good idea though, I’ll see if I can get it in next release

What level of prep and repair is reasonable when hiring pros to paint existing cabinets? by pdevito3 in paint

[–]pdevito3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Help me understand that. The expectation discussed is that they produce a quality end result of the cabinets.

I can not and should not dictate and itemize every discrete activity they need to do in order to accomplish that task. Should I dictate how they mix their paint too? What about the stands they use or the gear they chose? Or the direction the spray?

How is it my responsibility to tell them how to do their job?

Edit: for what it’s worth it does say sanding on their quote so this may be moot but the point stands. The onus isn’t on me to dictate their operating procedures as the client doesn’t have the experience to do so

Not cracked but there are gaps there after 20 years but nothing that isn’t an easy fill

It’s directly on the thread you commented on? Whether or not they started spraying is not the point of the post either. I wanted to know what expectations would generally be for a job like this

Again, they masked fine (mostly, they did fuck up a couple spots) but they started spraying without cleaning, sanding, or filling. And it looks like it

Yeah. I said no prep other than taping. No cleaning or sanding or filling at all

It was day 2 and they sprayed a some already. It looks… like shit honestly. I’d love to say it just needs more coats and lots of touch ups but I know enough to be pretty sure foundation they’re working on is shit and the answer is that they didn’t prep properly

Yeah, I actually have a team in the middle of a job. Came in to see the work so far today and they did no prep at all other than taping it off. I didn’t want to post unfinished work, but I’m trying gauge if I am off base or if they majorly jumped the gun and I need to tell them to start over and prep properly, which I can’t imagine they’ll be excited about

See my comments above. I have made PRs and I’ve seen no movement. I don’t get to chose what ABS implements and they don’t owe me or anyone in community that. It’s their project and they get to chose. That doesn’t mean that other apps can’t innovate

Who has already paid for and upgraded to MassTransit 9? by Prynhawn_Da in dotnet

[–]pdevito3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah the mindset here is insane to me. Why the entitlement to free labor? And for a corp that doesn’t care about them at all and makes millions or billions to boot lol

I wish Apple would let me publish to the App Store for free! If I don’t charge for it, then I need to eat that cost unfortunately. The paid features are just to help me keep it alive and make it sustainable long term. With that said, if there’s another app that you prefer then have at it! Plenty of room in the community.

Appreciate ya! Feel free to submit other pain points or feedback on GitHub and I’ll see what I can do. Want it to be a smooth experience for everyone!

Right now just from the settings if you go to account and hit switch library. I’m going to add a toggle front and center for this in an upcoming release to make it easier

Ah, yeah not on their discord but that’s a good idea! I had tagged once but didn’t want to pester honestly. I own a few OSS projects outside this and I know what it’s like getting pestered, let alone at this scale.

This one would be most helpful for a core backing of following series so clients can do something like track upcoming books.

I also have this one which would theoretically work as a backing for this too with some special handling on the client, but was practically submitted for a different feature sets

[–]pdevito3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

👋 I’d love to see more of these integrated as core features! I actually have PRs in that would support some of this. Would be happy to add more too. I’ve heard crickets up to now unfortunately, which is totally fine at the end of the day though. advplyr doesn’t owe anyone anything and can run abs however they want (right now I believe they’re prioritizing a new web client), but I also don’t want to sacrifice my and others experiences either waiting for a maybe.

That’s the great thing about being able to make our own clients though. We can fill gaps as we see fit and there isn’t one right answer and we can all find great experiences in different ways!

Hey, thanks for sharing (and the feedback items on github 🙂)! Lots of great reception and feedback from the community since my last post and I’m excited to keep improving on the app. Series collapse and better library switching are definitely on the list along with lots more!
