February

I planned to run GitBudget on Desktop with the help of Qt, however, the rabbit's hole of Kotlin Multiplatform + C++ turned out to be way deeper than I initially anticipated. Thus, I only managed to confirm the technical feasibility of the idea and turn Cross-language dialect project into Kotlin dialect one to have a clear focus on Kotlin.

March

My plan is to continue working on Kotlin dialect up to the point when I'll be able to run GitBudget on Desktop with the help of Qt.. . .

January

In January I've resurrected GitBudget project for two reasons:

1. Combine job goals and hobby ones because they overlap through Kotlin Multiplatform
2. Evaluate Kotlin Multiplatform in decreasing code duplication among platforms (the positive results are described in Reddit article).

In the distant 2020 when I approached GitBudget the first time my main idea was to track history of spendings, not analysis. This time my priority was to calculate the available balance left to be spent a day, i.e.,. . .

December

In December I reworked file management: now it's an accordion with tables instead of cards used before. Also, I added the ability to preview a page in a separate browser tab.

The video shows how this functionality works and highlights the following:

1. (00:55) Launching PSKOV with npx
2. (01:30) Copying a file
3. (02:03) Renaming a file
4. (02:52) Previewing in a separate browser tab. . .

November

In November I implemented the ability to preview a single edited page.

The video shows how this functionality works and highlights the following:

1. (01:37) Manual creation of a new Markdown file
2. (02:03) Launching PSKOV with npx
3. (02:28) Markdown file structure
4. (03:31) Edited site navigation when previewing
5. (04:15) The state of the site repository after preview generation. . .

1. NPM

PSKOV is now available via npm. The easiest way to launch PSKOV is with the help of npx:

npx pskov --projectDir=/path/to/project

where /path/to/project should be replaced with an actual path to a project

2. Files, Edit, Render tabs

PSKOV now has tabs which allow you to select a file, edit it or preview the result of Markdown conversion (previewing is not implemented yet). . .

Displaying project files

In September I created the new draft version of PSKOV 2, which now consists of two parts: web client + web server:

• the web server provides access to files on disk using Local Host Access format to the web client
• the web client provides UI for a human to manage site's contents

Logic is in Kotlin. Then Kotlin code is translated to JavaScript for. . .

The clash with git push limits

In August I've added git commit and git push commands to PSKOV. However, it became clear that Vercel (we use the service to host CORS proxy) does not allow git push requests for a moderately sized repository (50M) of this very site. Vercel returns 413 Content too large error.

Thus, to support git push for moderately sized repositories, I would need to run my own server with CORS proxy. I have neither money, nor time to do that at the moment, unfortunately.. . .

New

In July I've added the following to PSKOV 2:

Components' draft

In June I've created drafts of the following PSKOV 2 components:

• FS: virtual file system based on LightningFS
• Git: Git support based on Isomorphic-Git

Currently one can do the following in PSKOV 2:

• clone Git repository
• inspect the list of Git repository files
• clean up file system and start anew

July

In July I plan to add the following:

• instead of showing all files of a repository, display files for currently selected directory only. . .
