This is actually kind of fun, but it's slow-going because I'm working the chrome and the Android apps, in parallel, and they need slightly different Interfaces. Always have to develop and test both.

It doesn't look like much, but it took all evening. 😂
Well, first I made a completely different prototype, installed about a gazillion components and libraries, and then wrote a book-long Gherkin spec.
The first pass whiz-banged out a full app, where nothing really worked and I had zero idea what the code did.
But that was causing me to have a full autistic meltdown a la OMG WHAT DOES IT DO?! 😱 vibe-coded panic, so I really deleted the whole thing and am 👣 baby-setting forward, so that I can actually figure out what is doing what and learn to read the syntax and understand the file arrangement.
I have no idea how y'all can stand building things you don't understand. Had me like
I can't, reading the code in this repo made me have to get up and step away from my desk XD
I can actually read most of it, now, sort of vaguely, but the first pass might as well have been Greek.
That literally upset me. 😂 Bad vibes, man.
XD yeah. My issue is unknown-unknowns introduced, just the perfectionist in me tho.
My most effective AI-assisted coding sessions are in baby steps. Otherwise it's like trying to review a PR with thousands of lines.
You mean, all of the TODOs?
Yeah, I have everything plotted out in the Gherkin, so it already knows what is missing and puts in placeholders.
After every round, it gives me an update on how far along it is, for each one, but it will take weeks, to get them all done.
Dammit, I can see bugs. 🤦🏻♀️
I've always been intrigued by Flutter, but never wrote much in it.
The app is looking good.
