Devlog 5 - StudyBuddy

“accept the remaining 114” checked none of them

• that button fires one save per question, and on my test paper thats 114 of
  them at once
• nothing read the answers back, so a save that failed looked exactly like one
  that worked
• the tick stayed on, u moved to the next screen, and it was never stored

deleting a question said “Saved” and then didnt delete it

• delete waits a few seconds so u can undo it. it dropped the question from the
  list first and threw away whatever came back from the server
• so if it failed u got told it saved, and the question showed up in ur study
  queue later like nothing happened
• also there was no undo button anywhere. it was just a slow delete

$5 was being eaten

• maths sometimes comes wrapped in dollar signs so i strip them off. money also
  comes wrapped in dollar signs
• “Sam has $5 and Ana has $12” was being read as “Sam has 5 and Ana has 12”
• checked a real saved question and yep. paper says $5, database said 5

if my worker died, ur worksheet said “queued” forever

• the machine that reads the pages runs at my house. if it fell over mid job,
  nothing anywhere ever marked that job as failed
• it just sat there, and the free credit it charged u never came back

the topic tagging could fail without failing

• it needs a bit of software thats not always there on the server. when it
  wasnt, it came back with “no matches”
• which is a completely normal answer. so the job finished, every question was
  untagged, ur weak areas page was empty, and nothing anywhere was an error

one i was told to do and didnt

• had a note to cap the page number by how many pages the worksheet has
• except if u upload pages 10 to 15 of a pdf thats six pages numbered 10 to 15,
  so that check refuses every single one of them
• capped the two things separately instead

also

• the screen asking u to check questions against the page never showed the page
• finishing a review session stopped saying u finished it
• the AI could print its own error onto ur status page, which sometimes meant
  quoting ur own worksheet back at u
• the upload checked the image size by asking the browser instead of opening
  the image
