FridgeFriend not dead

I promise I still work on it. I promise.

It's coming along still, a lot has happened in the past couple of months, obviously, and I was never quite able to cut a release like I would have liked to. Rest assured I still use it every day, its still being developed, its quite useful if I do say so myself, and it becomes more useful each day.

I've added the ability to sort the items you currently have by the date they were purchased, or alphabetically, by the earliest upcoming expiration date, or just by the order that you entered them by. I have added item searching to quickly filter through your potentially long list of items for just a few specific ones, the ability to quickly update the quantities of how many items you have in your fridge, as well as overall stats regarding the items you have and how many are fresh or close to spoiling.

My main priority at this point is to cut a first release, but future updates will expand on the possibilities of the function that FridgeFriend will have to offer. That is all I can disclose for now, but I hope you are as excited as I am.

Stay tuned!

PYDroid 21

PYDroid is versioned enough to legally drink.

This new release deprecates the BindingUiView interface and moves its ViewBinding related code into the BaseUiView. Long live ViewBinding!

The UiViewModel state is bused using the brand new StateFlow interface which allows it to be easier to maintain and coroutine and thread safe by default. This change is transparent.

This release also adds support for a page about other pyamsoft apps! If you do not have a network connection, or have not allowed the app to connect to the internet, clicking on the "More apps" button in the settings page will still perform the old behavior and route you to the pyamsoft page on the Play store, but as long as you are connected to the internet, it will now load a new page which provides you links to all pyamsoft apps as well as links to their store pages and source code!

This is the first major release in a long time and it will be followed by updates to the pyamsoft android applications. I know, its been a long long time coming - work and life and the coronavirus have all gotten in the way. FridgeFriend is not dead - neither are any of the pyamsoft android applications. I do want to release soon, but FridgeFriend still needs some general UI cleanup and feature implementation to truly be customer ready. Please be patient as always, you'll hear from me again soon.

Stay tuned.
