It's been a long day, but I have enough energy for more coding if it's for pure fun -- a new project, a blank canvas. Let's see how far I can get on this tonight.
Part of the fun I have with this is figuring out how to build a simple application in as little time as possible that's still useful from day 1 -- and after some thinking I figured it out.
So v0.1 will have a GUI only for the primary use case: reading things. It'll eventually be multi-user (schema is set up for it), but single-user upon release. And to do anything besides the primary use case, you'll use cURL or Postman or whatever to call the API.
Last night got the database schema worked out to handle everything that'll be in the MVP and versions after. Today have been adding the API layer and bringing over code I needed from Write.as.
