This is getting out of hand

I have been using AI to code for about two weeks now, and I cannot seem to stop. Perhaps it’s more it’s like I could keep going forever, or as long as I have tokens.

So far I have been adding to my Citadel project. I can now get VIX data and I have made upgrades to the UI. The more I use Material You, the more I like it.

The next module I will be puting into dashboard will be a simple RSS reader that shows articles from various financial news sources. I am reviewing the OPML file at the moment, but I may allow the user to add feeds instead of me providing them.

For the time being my old laptop can handle the workloads, but pretty soon I will have to upgrade. As usual I cannot decide in which direction to Mac or Windows, but I guess time will tell. I do want a 4K monitor though. Maybe even a curved one. I use one at work and the curved design is surprisingly good

AI based dev project

Oh my. I never thought I would revive this blog in a million years. Essentially the posts were crappy as hell, and did not reflect any real knowledge based value on my part, so why even leave it up?

Anyway, with the arrival of AI, and inspired by a brilliant co-worker, I have decided to start my own development project.

It is nothing fancy at all. Just a dashboard that can be used for personal finances. The logic is fragmented at best and the use case could stand to be polished substantially, but that’s not the real point here. I want to build something by myself, and for myself.

So far I have a working frontend and a working backend. Right now I am trying to pull data into the Market Metrics module, but I seem to have issues with my environments.

For now I just want to share the first iteration of my dashboard.

It’s a React frontend using Material 3, which I really like. I have serious Mac envy, but since I am still on a Windows/Android product cycle, I decided to use Google’s design language. People tend to go for the Apple look, which makes sense, but I wanted to go in a different direct. Plus, it looks really awesome in my humble opinion.

Wait. What?

Given the sheer amount of cars that now support Android Auto, you might be surprised to learn that the in-car software isn’t actually supported everywhere. Today there are 40 countries that Android Auto is officially available in, with four of those added today and four added late last year.

These are the four new countries added today:
Denmark
Finland
Iceland
Sweden

Man I hope Android Police is right about this one.
