project-dedalus

A web dashboard of all my personal stats (exercise, language learning, life).

I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.

- Dedalus

What It Shall Contain

• Anki learning stats, pulled daily from my computer
• Healthkit or Strava stats, pulled from whichever is easier to get a hold of and access easy
• Perhaps a web UI for easy-inserting my Strava stats, basically a web port of https://github.com/ENuge/strava_uploader .
• Things that are both long-term quantifiable and actually meaningful to future me. These are surprisingly few and far between.

Why?

This provides a good check that I'm doing what I set out to do. It also provides validation that I am indeed doing things, when I get anxious at a lack of perceived progress. I intend the end result to be my new default new-tab page.

How To Deploy

1. Clone the project.
2. Be me (be OAuth'ed into this project or create an AppEngine account of your own - in which case run gcloud init after downloading the gcloud tool).
3. npm run start - make sure the project looks good in production mode on localhost (serving the post-babel-etc-transpiled code).
4. (At top-level), gcloud app deploy.
5. gcloud app browse to see the deployed homepage.

Running Locally

1. npm install && npm run dev. This should start a daemon that will update as you save files (server-built or frontend code).
2. You can view changes at localhost:8080 (or whatever you have $PORT set to).

Debugging Locally

NOTE: This may require Chrome. Not sure. It's based on https://medium.com/@paul_irish/debugging-node-js-nightlies-with-chrome-devtools-7c4a1b95ae27 . You can stick debugger; statements into the source, and then debug via:

1. npm run debug (Kicks off a hot-restarting run like npm run dev, but with magical debugging capabilities).
2. Open about:inspect in Chrome.
3. Click on "Open dedicated DevTools for Node".
4. In your browser, navigate to your normal page address. Watch as your new Chrome inspector window gets caught on your debugger. ⚡✨
