Listening to Atomic Habits at the moment.

Finally, Braindump v0.8.0 is available. With fuzzy search to find anything in the notes. It opens using cmd+p/ctrl+p as you know from VSCode for example as well.

This is finally the first successful build with fuzzy search and new keyboard navigation. So much effort 👀 . But finally there. Nearly. Will test over the next days a bit more 🔥

But actually I’m working on the custom keyboard navigation architecture. As braindump is keyboard driven, I want to have a good feeling for the user. And the web is more for mouse users. So I’m building a base framework to introduce keyboard navigation for all new features in future. And the fuzzy search is the first one to use this. It works in general, but there’s a ton of bugs still to be fixed.

Had one file hard coded until now for testing purposes.

This kept me wondering for quite a while. Now I know :D

- useState will trigger a rerender, while useRef will not
- The variable in useRef can be accessed in arrow functions!!!

This will lower the implementation effort a lot in future and will be used by the fuzzy search first

Very limited for now, but it already works so well :D. I usually take notes just like this. Whenever I have a new thought or topic or meeting, a new note is created. So I need a good and quick search. Fuzzy because I might make a typo here and there :D

Reloading currently has many problems which lead to a lot of pain during the development. And I'm not sure if this might also impact the production build (most likely yes)

- use redux store always
- reduce side effects

Back at home. Camper returned. And the huge wish to go back to Scandinavia 😍
