July

AI came firmly into my life because I started creating a prototype of a speech recognition application for Android. So far, I have implemented both Speech-to-text and Text-to-speech.

Speech-to-text is powered by Vosk and Text-to-speech by Sherpa-Onnx. Both libraries work on-device without sending data to a server.

August

I'll integrate an LLM between STT and TTS to enable the application to provide. . .

June

In June I returned back to the development of Klin generator (Kotlin Dialect): I added the generation of list wrappers. In Qt this wrapper is represented by QList<Item*> type. The generation of Item itself is pending.

July

In July I plan to finish the generation of Item.

May

Initially I wanted to display the history of spendings in Git Budget. However, the history depends on data, and that should have been done in Git. That's why in May I implemented pulling/pushing of a fixed repository.

June

In June I plan to implement pulling/pushing on Desktop. . . .

April

In April I have finally updated Klin tool to generate C++ bindings. This allowed me to have Git Budget as a Qt application for macOS using Kotlin Dialect.

The most interesting part is how many lines of code were saved when supporting several platforms:

March

In March (as in February) I planned to run GitBudget on Desktop, however, the updates of Klin tool to generate C++ bindings are still in development. There's just a little bit left.

April

This should finally happen in April.

. . .

February

I planned to run GitBudget on Desktop with the help of Qt, however, the rabbit's hole of Kotlin Multiplatform + C++ turned out to be way deeper than I initially anticipated. Thus, I only managed to confirm the technical feasibility of the idea and turn Cross-language dialect project into Kotlin dialect one to have a clear focus on Kotlin.

March

My plan is to continue working on Kotlin dialect up to the point when I'll be able to run GitBudget on Desktop with the help of Qt.. . .

January

In January I've resurrected GitBudget project for two reasons:

1. Combine job goals and hobby ones because they overlap through Kotlin Multiplatform
2. Evaluate Kotlin Multiplatform in decreasing code duplication among platforms (the positive results are described in Reddit article).

In the distant 2020 when I approached GitBudget the first time my main idea was to track history of spendings, not analysis. This time my priority was to calculate the available balance left to be spent a day, i.e.,. . .

December

In December I reworked file management: now it's an accordion with tables instead of cards used before. Also, I added the ability to preview a page in a separate browser tab.

The video shows how this functionality works and highlights the following:

1. (00:55) Launching PSKOV with npx
2. (01:30) Copying a file
3. (02:03) Renaming a file
4. (02:52) Previewing in a separate browser tab. . .

November

In November I implemented the ability to preview a single edited page.

The video shows how this functionality works and highlights the following:

1. (01:37) Manual creation of a new Markdown file
2. (02:03) Launching PSKOV with npx
3. (02:28) Markdown file structure
4. (03:31) Edited site navigation when previewing
5. (04:15) The state of the site repository after preview generation. . .
