Project Heisse update

September 23, 2020 — Allen

The data management screen works fine and persists all the way to storage. I've added storage management functions, accessible only via the console that should come in very handy. The last sticking point is adding a new machine. When I add a new machine, it gets added to key null. Initiallizing the editables for the new machine is pretty straight forward, but since the key can get edited (must be allowed) it's location in the store (and, hence, the DOM) can shift. Need to clean up the add function and then do a simple sort and I think it's ready for initial user testing.

Data model is wired up from store to grid. Next to figure out how to modify the menu and then build a data management screen.

Hello, Electron!

September 19, 2020 — Allen

Electron is pretty cool. I (along with probably every other web developer) have had the thought many times in the past to make something similar. Project Heisse should be a nice test drive of the tech. So far, I've got a JSON store and AngularJS wired in. Project owner has given me a baseline data model to use.

TODO:

  • get basic layout; for now a simple grid
  • wire in the data model
  • figure out Electron menu system
  • make a data management screen
  • implement sorting and coloring (age and priority)
