Setup Functionality!

Added functionality for the setup screen. It can now search for the wakatime.cfg file in your home directory, or you can input your api key manually. I then learned how to make a settings.cfg file to store everything in it. I also then made it so it changed the the new dashboard screen, which isn’t designed yet. Can’t wait to continue this project, but I also need to work on/finish my other project WordChains, this weekend.

Formatting & Creating Setup Screen

I’m just going to say this should not have take as long as it did. Anyway I was working on creating the setup screen of my hackatime dashboard app using textual. When the app first opens this is the screen you will see. You can then either choose to use you wakatime config file, you manually entering your Hackatime API key, so later we can use it to fetch some stats to display on the dashboard.

Where I ran into a lot of issues is the formating. Getting the text to go at the top of these boxes, and the buttons at the bottom, but still have everything centered in the boxes. In the end the solution was to use multiple containers under the hood to get everything into the right spot.

Hackadash: Setting up basics

Its my first time creating a project like this so there was a lot of research involed into pyproject.toml files and .gitignore files. I finally got some stuff working, and now I get to work on the fun stuff the app!

I’m planning for this app to be a small dash board for Hacktime stats using Textual. So far I just have some place holder stuff in and no logic. I did do some drawings of what this might look like, but we will see how well I can bring them to life.
