Non-Windows Software / Re: Calendula (android) - a dead project that I use daily

I can't help but thought I would still say hello so hello :) *waves** and hope you been doing good as possible health wise.

I've been okay, yeah - took me a few years to get the right med combo, and I'm still basically deadweight on my right side. Can't articulate my foot so I can't walk well, frozen in place really. Arm I have some control but nothing useful, so it just does what it wants. And I lost partial vision when the stroke happened, which is the thing I wish for the most. Other issues too likea noticeable (to me) cognitive decline, and a few other items.

But I'm here, still kicking. Still learning, last few years has been networking and server admin stuff. I now run 3 servers - a nas, a tower server, and a vps, all running docker, with the tower server running proxmox. NAS hosts family data, tower and vps hosts game servers, home assistant, and BOINC (tower has an older Xeon, might as well put it to use). Slowly built out the home network with cat6a to all rooms with tech, switches. Need to get better (managed + 2.5+) switches so I can use more than 1g. I *just* got fiber installed a couple days ago, the day after service went live.

So comparatively I'm in brutal shape, struggle with basic things... But I'm still here, still trying. I have been able to take little trips - I used to go to Utah twice a year to see my ex, and I attend conventions in Pittsburgh and Chicago, hopefully more soon. Trying to get back into the workforce, and if that goes well money won't be excruciatingly tight.

It's been a crazy ride. But I'm still kicking.

Non-Windows Software / Re: Calendula (android) - a dead project that I use daily

Hey all! It's weird to post here after so long, but I've been concerned about this Android app for a few years now, and I'm not sure where else to turn.

Calendula is a medication management, scheduling, alert, etc app that I've been using for.. 9 (?) years. But it hasn't seen an update since late 2018, android has been warning me that it's running on an old sdk (?) version for a few years now, and I fear that it will stop working with future android versions.

I kind of know how Github works, but the project is written in Java (as I understand it) and I neither like the language nor have modern skills with it. Many people have forked the project, but none have taken it over or offered a new version - hence my growing concern. I've searched for and tried similar apps (just foss, since I don't trust random apps on the play store with my medical info) and they all suck, really.

Does anyone here have an interest in reviving (forking) this project? I'd be willing to pay for it to be brought up to date and hopefully keep functioning for another few years (I'm not swimming in cash but this is quite important to me). Or, is there an app that I haven't run across that does more-or-less the same functionality? Alerts, checkboxes for each med per scheduled time, recorded intake time that can be referred to, repeat notifications, skipped/ignored alerts, med name and remaining stock counter, scheduling for days/multiple per day/day + skip/etc...

Besides the fear of android refusing to run it after a major update, the notification/alert system broke with android... 12? And so now it doesn't alert me until I open the app myself. Which isn't ideal when I am busy and miss my med schedule by a few hours, oblivious...

Anyone want to give it a try, or have suggestions?

Also: hello :) *waves*

I ought to mention, because I haven't before, that I now experience a feeling of peace and focus when I enter Lattics.

It's something I have occasionally experienced with programs once they have become familiar; but not often. Some programs are designed to be efficient or busy. Most distract or demand some sort of attention. Tangent has it; Obsidian doesn't. Glitches or a need to use something else always interrupt, which became an issue for me with Tangent.

user guide content has been greatly updated
-Lattics

And has Coming Soon sections - AI assistant, Version management, Web App, mobile apps (iOS, Android, Harmony), OCR, PDF translation, image annotation and hand drawing, audio and video subtitle transcription, Mermaid, QMD + Quarto, slide show, document directory + tag visualisation (idk what this is).

I am very much looking forward to version management.

For anyone interested, here's the web page

I tend not to mention the weekly Amazon Prime Gaming giveaways, because like Epic you can count on there being at least one new game each week so it's probably best if you just get in the habit of checking it weekly. But Amazon currently has a few noteworthy (IMO) titles which redeem on GOG, which might be interesting to those who are not in the habit of checking each week:

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
A few Saints Row games
Fate as well as one of its stand-alone expansions Fate: Undiscovered Realms
Star Wars Rebellion
And more...

Bioprototype:
https://store.steamp...689520/Bioprototype/

This looks like it's in the same genre as Vampire Survivors, which I've heard referred to as a genre as "Bullet Heaven" or just Survivors-like. It seems the game was originally listed on the Steam store through a publisher who ended up violating Steams rules, which got all games associated with them removed, even if the developer(s) of the games didn't do anything wrong. So the developer has re-listed the game and is offering it for free as a way of apology.
