crash during version checking. the version checker was trying to update
files associated with published blogs, and crashing due to trying to
read null paths.
this fix checks to see if the user has opted to publish *before* running
those updates.
threw in a str cast so the program won't crash when the publish dir
settting ends up as null. I SHOULD REALLY FIGURE OUT WHY THAT KEEPS
HAPPENING but i'm so sleepy
on startup, ttbp checks to see if the environment is valid, and prompts
user to run setup again if not. also, nopub files are now removed from
html if they were generated.
sketching out a submenu format, and testing it by making a new feels
reviewing option. if the user is publishing, review feels now includes
the option to modify publishing settings for individual entries (which
is a function yet to be written.)
maybe i'll remember to document this to make a guide for adding new
submenus.
moved a whole bunch of functions around for better code clarity. it's
3am and i can't sleep, so i vaguely expect to have to revert this in the
morning.
now there's an annotation in the __version__ for beta; added a check on
program start to see if the user is switching between beta and stable,
and switches accordingly.
patching updates should still work as usual.
made the feels browser generalized so that you can now plug in anyone
with a ttbp. neighbor view now allows you to pick a ttbp to browse.
also cleaned up some code with more docs, better function names.
in the live feels feed, timestamp now indicates what deflection from UTC
the time reads. this is based on the local time zone set for the user
who caused the live feed to update.
holy crap! here i am, about a decade and a half after my first Formal
Instruction in programming, and i suddenly understand code
documentation. part of this is that sometimes i stare at functions
forgetting why they're there, or start writing a function with the
distinct feeling that i'm typing code i've already typed before, and
realize that maybe there's a better way.
so i skimmed code from other people that i've used in my own repos, and
lifted the general gist of their commenting style while doing things
that feel right to me. i still don't know exactly how i like things, but
i'm learning. this is the best way i learn things.
then. then! i learned that i can just pydoc any of my modules and pydoc
will generate literally the same thing that i read when i pydoc other
module! what. WHAT. this is amazing. i feel like a real person. i
understand where those docs come from now, and how to make them myself.
i'm learning so much.
why does this feel so amazing.
all of this is in a commit message that i'm going to fire off into the
sun but i just need to put this out there because this feels important.
