recogarden log

A tentative public log of my progress journaling in this small project.

I try to journal my intentions and progress, and then rework the text a bit for readability. Trying to make it as public as possible, yo. And there's also a to-do list for future updates on the code.

01 first steps in constant definitions and modularisation
02 the first HTTP requests are done
03 meeting vectors and special characters
04 mapping to structs
05 refactoring API URI building
06 refactoring into different files
07 assembling the record info into a struct
08 tying some loose ends
09 creating tiddlers following the HTDP process
10 making the first whole run - and it works!
11 introduce logging messages (normal and debug modes)
12 properly handle API requests sleep period
12 putting requests to sleep & downloading images
13 fetching the album artwork

After the 13th entry, the project arrived at MVP status and I am thus taking a small break. In the meantime, my music page has been updated with content that this script contributed directly to!
