Dog-foodable

Wins:

• Using Pomodoro to keep on keep late night coding from turning into mental dead ends
  • smart watch is actually just fine for this, sound is not ideal, visuals can be distracting but a timer on the watch is great cause you can always check to remind yourself but it’s not going to remind you until it’s done.
• Highlighting is MDP (Minimum dog foodable product)
  • i can live with this level of highlighting behavior

Notes:

• Need to find a decent workflow for creating gifs to show of the highlighting

Next:

• auto-complete for moves of all types
  • should assist with situations like:
    • named pieces b1c3 tab -> Nb1c3
    • captures e4d5 tab -> e4xd5
  • thinking of a system where on each input change the system recalculates autocomplete candidates
    • renders as tab-navigable list
    • ranked? based on something
• design work
  • decide on product for this, need to consider ASCII limitation and might have to avoid a general design software like miro/figma/etc.
  • design validation system (layout/style/content)
  • design menus (restart/exit/game setup)
