How do you want to do a millisecond timer? We cant configure the label text for every millisecond?

[im-coder-lg]

Maybe use an .after() loop?

[im-coder-lg]

Fixed a merge conflict :)

@not-nef The timer dosent loop every millisecond, it just checks the current time and checks it with the time at the start of the timer and subtracts it to get the time passed. Sorry if its confusing

[not-nef]

Not confusing at all! Makes perfect sense.

[im-coder-lg]

Hey, has anyone invited me on Replit? Got a mail.

[im-coder-lg]

Oh nvm, it's our (new) Replit team. Just us.

[im-coder-lg]

@TimerX-App/reviewers any updates here? Is this ready? Edit: Making the title semantic, heads up!

[sumeshir26]

No it’s not near ready, it’s going to take about a week more. I’m not at home so I can’t work on TimerX this weekend.

[im-coder-lg]

Wow. Alright, I'll try working on something else. Regarding the update system, I frankly need some help. If you could try telling me the next steps, I'll try implementing them.

[sumeshir26]

Wait, can you work on the Update system on repl.it so I can help you using repl.it multiplayer

[im-coder-lg]

I will start tomorrow. Today's a Sunday.

[im-coder-lg]

Are you making progress?

[sumeshir26]

@im-coder-lg Yes, after today's commits, it is actually usable with pausing! There is just a slight visual glitch with pausing which I will fix tomorrow at the latest. That glitch is purely visual and does not affect the actual timer. Can you please test the timer on raspbian?

[im-coder-lg]

I'll have to test on Ubuntu, I distro-hopped. But if it works on ARM64, it will work on ARMV7L.

[im-coder-lg]

I wish we had users who have macOS Latest so that they could also test, I feel bad for the people left out.

[sumeshir26]

Ok, tell me when you test

[im-coder-lg]

Hold up, there is Coder, it alows teams to develop programs easily. They have a bunch of Dockerised images, I wonder if a macOS image is also included on it. Then, I could test it, right?

[sumeshir26]

Isnt coder paid?

[im-coder-lg]

Docker deployments, you can take it for testing!

[im-coder-lg]

Wait, you know Coder? Leave it, but I'll search around their registry for macOS images and try installing them. Last time I tried it, it failed horribly. Also, I don't have a subscription and I don't need one. I'll just host it on a Gitpod container and play around.

[im-coder-lg]

Oh turd, latency is high. Wait, I'll test after switching my network.

[im-coder-lg]

Also, what do you guys think of a code formatting workflow that uses cron? I think that is more than enough to format our website and our Python code.

[not-nef]

Dont know what that is but ok

[im-coder-lg]

I have started installing Coder on Gitpod, the dockerised version ofc, maybe we could test on other OSes. There are VNC images too, so we could hopefully succeed in our test.

[sumeshir26]

You know coder?

Github kept reccomending code-server to me

[im-coder-lg]

Alright, no macOS :( but we might test on Ubuntu or CentOS(same as Fedora) Test failed :( due to the internet thing

[im-coder-lg]

Github kept recommending code-server to me

Wow. Did you see it? Damn, that's the place where I do half my work with other maintainers there, helping them out. Moreover, code-server and Gitpod are the same, except Gitpod gave you an OS, to begin with. Edit: Maybe I get why GitHub recommended code-server. Mostly due to my activities there. I comment on half of the discussions trying to help out and occasionally make PRs, hence GitHub might've recommended.

[im-coder-lg]

Dont know what that is but ok

Basically, the on: YAML block has a cronjob. It triggers on that specific second. Then, I'll create a PAT here so that the formatter won't throw errors saying that it can't edit some protected files. So, after linking an env secret, I'll commit the file and it will trigger on that moment.

[im-coder-lg]

Test still fails. I'll go ahead with adding a Wine setup for TimerX in the docs.

[sumeshir26]

@not-nef @im-coder-lg I need some help. When the timer gets paused, the time display slightly changes. I have no idea what is causing this and the timer fixes it after unpausing. Can you please look at the code and see what needs to be changed?

[im-coder-lg]

Wait, let's try investigating.

1. Did you add anything to the time display?
2. Did you meddle with any functions the time display uses?
3. Did you try changing the layout?

If you have a yeah for something in this, then edit that code only. If it lingers, think out of that code boundary. If it still fails, let's go to StackOverflow.

Wdym it changes?

[sumeshir26]

I think I figured out the solution, will commit it tommorow so we can get this merged by thursday

[not-nef]

Cool! Next week i will add the ui to the missing settings and then we are technically ready for 1.1!

[im-coder-lg]

When shall we release it?

[not-nef]

What about the 16th?

[im-coder-lg]

Hmm... @sumeshir26 any ideas?

[sumeshir26]

Sure

[sumeshir26]

@im-coder-lg Need your review on this!

[im-coder-lg]

I need to test this now.

[sumeshir26]

Will format it tomorrow when I get to my pc.
