I also recently built my first react app. Nothing to show and tell with but I built it earlier in the year to create a pocket money tracker since I couldn't find something I liked. React frontend and Symfony backend since these were the technologies I was trying to get familiar with in order to contribute to another FOSS project.

I started this as an itch because the calculator that I normally use got broken on a PHP upgrade and none of the other online calculators matched it's usefulness.

I also wanted to add batch tracking/note taking to it, it's starting to get much larger than I planned :/

I will admit that the ~~firestone~~ firebase studio has done lots of the heavy lifting.

I'll foss it at some stage

Ah haha I see, I hadn't heard of that tool before, do you learn much or is it basically all asking it to do it for you?

It is taking a little debuging on some stuff, but it is many years since I played with JS. Every thing I do at work is around DAX and M

I did start it in Gemini's canvas but it kept shitting the bed every time I edited the code by hand or it got too complex. It was using firebase's db as storage so I imported it into it's studio and it is a very different beast

Ah I haven't used a tool like this, but it does seem like the kind of thing that would shit the bed when you go outside their happy path. Thanks for posting it, one day I might actually get around to brewing my own beer and then I might understand what it's for 😅

Had a strange one at work today - one of the radiologists wanted to try a stream deck they'd purchased to speed up their reporting.

The piece of shit software wouldn't even talk to the device without admin rights. I thought it ought to at least connect and be able to interact with other apps on the same security context, at least in a rudimentary way, but nope!

Looks like the reporting tools don't properly accommodate any API or macro hotkeys either, so it was probably a hopeless idea all along.

Is this the stream deck? Programmable button device?

I guess your colleague doesn't recommend it if they can't get it to do even simple things.
