Day #13 of #30NitesOfCode brings me back to a 2023 project: visualizer/graph-based interface for the "Project & tasks" Notion template: TaskNexus. Doesn't scale well yet, but was fun to use with QuestDrive Syncer, and others have liked "seeing" their projects all laid out.
Epics & Tasks are laid out in a network graph with edges representing subtasks/blocked-by, green nodes done, brown nodes abandoned, rounded-rectangles tasks, and octagons epics, this version has a transparent background with white edges

Day #08 of #30NitesOfCode brings a bunch of small additions: optional output simplification - for non-TTY environments - customizable processing order, only running if free space is less than X, or battery percentage is above Y, and rich-argparse prettying up the help output.

Day #07 of #30NitesOfCode brings process-locking to QuestDrive Syncer - allowing for CRON or your favorite task schedule to execute it! 🕒 Also added an option to not run at all if a single video is being actively recorded, so that it doesn't hog up all of the WiFi bandwidth📶

Day #06 of #30NitesOfCode brings progress to QuestDrive Syncer, literally, progress bars for both the current file and the process - powered by rich! This also revealed a math bug from my assumption that the QuestDrive sizes were in binary when they were actually in decimal🧮

Day #05 of #30NitesOfCode brings much customizability to QuestDrive Syncer - URL, output directory, skipping deleting/downloading, minimum free space, not downloading while recording, waiting until online, etc. Also switched to pytest-mock - tests were drowning in decorators 😂
the output of running python questdrive_syncer with the --help flag, showing all available options: --questdrive-url URL of running QuestDrive instance --output Directory to save videos to --minimum-free-space Minimum system free space in MB to continue downloading videos --wait-for-questdrive Instead of failing if QuestDrive is not found, wait for it to come online --dry Perform no actions, just log what would be done --dont-run-while-actively-recording Don't run if the Quest is actively recording --dont-delete Don't delete videos from the Quest --dont-download Don't download videos from the Quest

Day #04 of #30NitesOfCode brings cleanliness to QuestDrive Syncer: broke up large files, refactored tests, enabled all the ruff rules, added a pre-commit hook so I don't forget to update the version number, etc Also rediscovered pydeps & PyCG, which helped me generate the graphs

Graphviz visualization of the project dependencies, showing __main__ importing main, which imports helpers, constants, api, and parsers. helpers then imports constants, while parsers imports structures, and api finally imports both constants and structures.

Day #03 of #30NitesOfCode I got QuestDrive Syncer functional: it downloads and then deletes VideoShots via QuestDrive! I just walk on over, run the command, and dive back into VR while it works in the background! I imagine next will be all the bells and whistles I can imagine!

Day #02 of #30NitesOfCode saw successful parsing of video file info & detecting ongoing recordings. That last part wasn't as difficult as it might sound, just checking if the modification date had changed since last - don't want to download & then delete an incomplete video!

Day 1 of #30NitesOfCode saw the birth of QuestDrive Syncer! 🚀 After heaps of planning, I had enough time left to get the project basics set up using poetry, ruff, mypy, typeguard, pre-commit, httpx, and probably more as I need them! 🐍
