I can understand that. Even coming up on my first decade working as a dev I still love it an occasionally do some projects on my spare time. LLMs have made hobby projects so much more achievable and there’s something very rewarding being able to make something yourself.
Thanks for the screenshots, looks good!
I’ve been using the official ABS app in Android for a while now and am curious what exactly makes it fall short?
I’m a software developer and it would have to be severely lacking for me to invest the time in sitting down and create a new one, even with AI tools. But that may be more of a disadvantage.
Sounds cool though, I haven’t seen Still and it would be nice with some screenshots.
Personally, I think going local file config first was the right decision, depending on what the target audience is. For homelab users with one or two databases it may seem like extra work. For professionals or advanced users who like, or even need, to automate using tools like Ansible etc this makes it easier to deploy on larger scale. You can of course allow users to update settings after the fact through the UI while keeping the json file. I have dropped projects in the past due to the exact issue that its only configurable to the UI that makes bulk operations or automation hard or impossible.
I’m currently using shell scripts (pg_dump) and crontabs to back up my databases, so thanks, will check it out!
