As I prepare to dive back into development, now is a good time to review
|
||||
what I've built so far, and how well I'm keeping up with my planned
|
||||
[[roadmap|assistant]].
|
||||
|
||||
I started working two and a half months ago, so am nearing the end of
|
||||
the three months I originally asked to be funded for on Kickstarter.
|
||||
|
||||
I've built much of what I planned to build in the first three months --
|
||||
[[inotify]] is done (and kqueue is basically working, but needs scalability
|
||||
work), local [[syncing]] is done, the [[webapp]] works, and I've built some
|
||||
of the first [[configurators]]. It's all functional in a narrow use case
|
||||
involving syncing to removable drives.
|
||||
|
||||
[[progressbars]] still need to be dealt with, and network syncing needs to
|
||||
be revisited soon, so that I can start building easy configurators for
|
||||
further use cases, like using the cloud, or another machine on the local
|
||||
network.
|
||||
|
||||
I think I'm a little behind my original schedule, but not too bad,
|
||||
and at the same time, I think I've built things rather more solidly than I
|
||||
expected them to be at this point. I'm particularly happy with how well
|
||||
the inotify code works, no matter what is thrown at it, and how nice
|
||||
the UI in the webapp is shaping up to be.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
I also need to get started on fulfilling my Kickstarter rewards, and
|
||||
I was happy to spend some time in the airport working on the main
|
||||
blocker toward that, a lack of a scalable git-annex logo, which is needed
|
||||
for printing on swag.
|
||||
|
||||
Turns out that inkscape has some amazing bitmap tracing capabilities.
|
||||
I was able to come up with this scalable logo in short order, it
|
||||
actually took longer to add back the colors, as the tracer generated a
|
||||
black and white version.
|
||||
|
||||
With that roadblock out of the way, I am moving toward ordering large
|
||||
quantities of usb drives, etc.
