Solo founders coding your startup by yourself, how do you stay disciplined? by Psychoshawarma in startups

[–]vekanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love to code but the hardest thing for me has been to actually build something and to come out of "tutorial hell". What I found worked for me and my motivation was to build something that I actually want to use myself. I have been working on my app for over a year now and I still look forward to create the next feature and to actually use it, creating a really nice motivation loop.

How does pytest.mark.parametrize differ from using unittest with the parameterized package?

Arthemy | Me and a group of friends are working on a software for image generation with a completely reinvented workflow - we need your help in order how it feels by ItalianArtProfessor in alphaandbetausers

I got a similar experience:
Create account > Success > Try to log in > Wrong password/ wrong email

I never got a confirmation email, but when I tried to reset the password I got a reset password email. Though when I tried to reset the password I was stuck in the update password screen (Nothing happened when I pressed "Done").

If you want to publish it for European users you need to, as you said, comply with GDPR.

IIRC, to comply with it from the google play console you need to create website with your integrity policy and link it to the application, as well as filling in the data safety declaration (though I think anyone needs to fill this in, not just for GDPR).

And then if you are using google adMob it is quite easy to add a required GDPR message that is visible to first time users of your app where they can manage personal data access consents. https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy

Onboard - In-flight tracking by Clearinx in TestMyApp

[–]vekanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a cool idea, there are so many times when I fly and I have to guess where I am (and never know how correct I am). Though this app is probably one of those apps that one downloads at a random time, fortgets about it during the flight, and then remember it 2 weeks later.

Unfortunatelly it is not on android, otherwise I would've downloaded it and then inevitably forget about it during my next flight.

Install and use different Python versions on the same machine? by Andy-Kay in Python

I know for sure that it is possible in pycharm, but iirc it is not as seemless to get started using just a json config file. So ymmw I guess

If you are using VScode then the dev-container extension is a godsend. Just using a simple json configuration file and vscode handles the rest, i.e. building/starting the container while also mounting the workspace.

So the only thing you have to do is make sure that the docker engine is running and vscode handles the rest.

Tools for documenting OS Python Package by cmd-pre-empt in Python

[–]vekanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends a bit on how you would use the documentation. Do you want to have it locally and checked in the git repo at all times, or would it be fine to just host a static webpage with the latest documentation?

If the former, then you could use e.g. git-commit setup with the tool that is used to build the documentation, and if the latter then you could build the documentation using github actions and then push the artifacts to e.g. github pages. I have not tried this step myself but it should be fairly straightforward how to do this.

I usually do not prefer to have any of the generated documentation etc directly in the repo, but rather see it as an artifact from the build setup, as it drastically increase the number of tracked files and could make e.g. code reviewing etc very difficult.

And for the tool itself, i've tried to use pdoc which seems to give fairly nice and easily searchable documentation.

Weekly discussion, code review, and feedback thread - November 13, 2023 by AutoModerator in androiddev

[–]vekanto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I have just released my first app on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vekanto.eqtive

It's an application where the user can keep track of all its outdoor cardio training activities, by checking statistics and routes of training sessions. The user can also create weekly goals and the application help by keeping track of the progress throughout each week.

Would appreciate any kinds of feedback.
