MORE ON OVERSING UPDATE:
Well, I think I posted that I had the database and the models (code that controls them finished), and that I’d ‘fixed’ the various architectural issues that were bothering me(permissions, appointments, accounting). And now I’m working on fixing the front end which uses React/Flux instead of jquery Ractive. Why? I cannot debug this enormous thing and unit test it without separating the UI from the API – and they are far too intermingled. And really, once you understand that the app is a few facebook pages, and the workspace, and that most of the controls are reused over and over again, it’s really not that hard to change the code base. thankfully, while the presentation layer is killing me, an awful lot of the middleware just needs code cleanup, and ‘curt levels’ of comments and documentation (and I write a lot of comments and documentation).
I don’t see the investment market opening up until February so I figure I have at least until then to make the changes I want to.
Iain has had family problems and has been offline for almost six months, but he’s back at work and getting our end of year reporting done finally. Although I suspect he’s workign at the same pace I am.
I should have done this over a year ago, but I’m still happy that we’re making progress. the app is a joy. And it’s going to be even better.
