15th Week of 2021

Projects⚑

• New: Sketch how to automate repetitive tasks prompted by email events.

  Most of the emails I receive require repetitive actions that can be automated, I've stumbled upon notmuchmail, which looks very promising. A friend suggested to use afew for tagging, and I'd probably use alot to interact with the system (and finally be able to use email from the cli).

• Improvement: Add interesting interface.

  For the interface adri's memex looks awesome! It's inspired in the Andrew Louis talk Building a Memex whose blog posts seems to be a gold mine.

  Also look at hpi's compilation.

• New: Sketch how to improve the launching of applications with i3wm.

  In the past I tried installing rofi without success, I should try again. If the default features are not enough, check adi1090x's custom resources.

• Improvement: Show the changes of repository-orm 0.3.1.

  +* Add first and last methods to the repositories. +* Make entity id_ definition optional. +* add _model_name attribute to entities.

Coding⚑

Python⚑

• Improvement: Add FastAPI docs as a model to study and follow.

FastAPI⚑

• New: Add beets system as a first approach.

  When building Python applications, it's good to develop the core of your program, and allow extension via plugins.

  I still don't know how to do it, but Beets plugin system looks awesome for a first start.

• New: Introduce FastAPI the pydantic friendly python framework to build APIs.

  FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.

• New: Sum up the basic documentation.

  Explain how to:

  • Sending data to the server: Through path parameters, query parameters and body requests.
  • Handle errors.
  • Update data
  • Configure OpenAPI
  • Test FastAPI applications

  And add a lot of more interesting features I've discovered.

Pytest⚑

• New: Explain how to exclude code from the coverage report.

  Add # pragma: no cover.

  Mopidy is an extensible music server written in Python, that plays perfectly with beets and the MPD ecosystem.

  The awesome documentation, being Python based, the extension system, JSON-RPC, and JavaScript APIs make Mopidy a perfect base for your projects.
