What I like about this is the inclusion of the Claude code pieces. I know there is a lot out there, but seeing a project that uses AI to produce features of this standard is great to see. I'd be interested in learning how the author developed features while building this out and how effective Claude/AI was while performing this building. Heck, I'd watch something where the author demonstrates their workflow. Nice job.

#202A question from a novice: can't we have clicking on terminals?
We can! I just haven't thought through the interaction yet.

There was once a time when tools like Microsoft Access and FileMaker Pro were common. These were a database and custom GUI designed using a drag and drop editor. I don't know whether these apps ever had network server capability or if they were always offline or why they died out. It was a bit before my time
FileMarker Pro had a dedicated server product (FileMaker Server) that you could use for multi-user access. Claris still sells it: https://www.claris.com/filemaker/ Microsoft Access was strictly file based. You could drop the .mdb/.accdb file on a SMB share and it would support basic concurrency via lock files. However, you could also swap out the internal database engine (Jet) with anything else via ODBC, so your Acc…
How many names do you think they ruled out before they settled on "Filemaker"?

#205If you want a more powerful to-do list, look into IBM Maximo. It's the ultimate end all be all of todoMVCs.
The business is strong with Maximo: "Optimize asset investments with AI insights to cut lifecycle costs, align budgets and achieve your goals smarter and faster". Optimizing with insights to cut lifecycle costs? Where do I sign up??
They are a todolist combined with a dependency tracker and a Cron job.
E.g. you own an old school Japanese car with no fancy computers. You only have a paper manual.
With something like Maximo, you can turn your maintenance into a DAG and routine stuff is tied to cron. Each Todo is called a "Work order". E.g. tire rotation every 10 000 miles, oil change every 15 000 air filter swap every 2 years.
Each day after you finish driving you enter into the Maximo GUI (or have an Arduino IoT sensor do it) your current mileage.
The timing chain also needs to be swapped every 5 yeard, but due to a quirk of engineering, it can only be done so after the oil had been changed.
Maximo automatically tracks everything, and after you are done, you have to upload a photo as proof that you have done the work.
It's a very simple system at its core, basically a glorified Todo list but entire industries run on it.

#206Someone has a sense of humor in the reviews section: "I’ve been using the demo data for three weeks. I don’t own a house. — Aspiring Homeowner"
I guarantee that's an AI-written joke.
Did I miss the innovation in AI humor? I searched for AI written jokes and they all seem like Markhov chain output.

#207I love this! I've made a web version powered by your data layer and REST API. Let me know what you think. https://github.com/goeric/webcasa

#208Love the idea, agree with most of the feedback here.
Suggestion: > Worth a PR to swap out SQLite for Jira/Linear? Or have a job that moves the work there?
I can then maybe save $50 on that window replacement by allowing local business to search/ bid on my home maintenance Jira queue (versus spam mail in the physical inbox)

I've got several cameras outside my house, but these recording 24/7 are adjusted to capture my property only (garden, front drive, entrances etc) That's legal. If someone gets recorded that's because they left the public land and entered mine.
> That's legal. That makes sense, you're not actually recording public spaces, that'd be legal here too. "all the outward facing cameras from your home" makes it sound like that's including public spaces though, but maybe I'm just reading it too strictly.
I think I didn't phrase them enough. Tey're _facing_ the public spaces (pavement, street) or neighbours (other gardens) but they're tilted or masked that way, they simply don't capture anyone unless they stray onto my property.
