Devlog 1 - Inventory Management System

basically all of the sensors i own (A LOTTTTT) all live in one giant bin
(ill send a pic of it in the next devlog trust). so recently, my dad fried me
because i bought the same temperature sensor i bought like 3 weeks ago or smth (DHT22 for anyone intrested).

basically what im building is a web app that acts like a inventory system for all my sensors. the thing that makes this diff from a spreadsheet or google docs is that this is SUPPOSED to be able to track ur parts are in use, soldered, broken, or available (not even close to there yet)

the main reason i chose that type of system is because when i tried using a spreadsheet (ik, 1900s) it worked until i made more than 2 projects. with one project it works perfectly, but i have multiple projects at a time, each either
on a perfboard or soldered down. and then some of them smoke, burn out, or even are faulty.

the main thing about this app is that its going to be able to store what parts were used in ur project, and when u say u disassembled it, it will automatically move those parts back based on what you said — soldered, broken, reuseable.

the empty app

right now the app is literally empty. its just the Django admin page. i just spent some time getting everything linked like a new repo, railway app, postgres database, etc. i wanted to deploy everything rn rather than later cuz i dont want it to be a pain once i get to shipping this.

it took like 2ish hours in total so not that bad, and basically none of it was
using Django other than the admin page. the main problem i faced was
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '________' (shh i left it blank). i
saved a new start command and a predeploy command so it works better.

four models, and figuring out the right formula to make sure that ur parts
dont randomly start increasing — i tried creating a small POC algorithm and it
went from having 2 DHT22’s to 5 DHT22’s after two fake projects.
