    (In case you're wondering, no I'm not gonna comply with the California bill or any other moronic age verification bill and start requesting age bracket from the OS. Not sure if it legally applies to me, I only distribute the app on Codeberg, plus the Flatpak via Disroot's file sender because it exceeds Codeberg's file limit, but I just put it out there, in case this would apply to FOSS projects distributed solely on code collaboration platforms. What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then? I'm in Europe. But I guess they don't even know about the existence of the app, so why should I even bother?)

    CW: I Just Made a Temporary Todo App For Linux - Burner Todo

    I just developed a todo app in Qt, called Burner Todo, which lets you create temporary todos, which can be wiped out with a press of a button (Kaboom!), and also when you close the program (default setting, which can be changed). It's like a burner phone, but in a todo app form (hence the name) lol

    Other features include editing and deleting a todo, which you would probably expect from a todo app. There are also some settings to toggle delete, kaboom and quit confirmation, and whether to wipe out todos on quit or not (todos are saved to a local database regardless, and aren't wiped out if the program isn't closed properly, e.g. if the system crashes, so the todos aren't lost).

    The program is available for Linux as a raw binary, AppImage and Flatpak, and all of these can also be built manually, using the instructions in the repo's README.

    The code is written in Python, but compiled into C, to have a better performance, smaller size.

    Some custom styling is added to make it look nicer. I also found a way to compile the Python code into C (using Nuitka) to make it more performant, smaller in size. And the AppImage version is also done, except there are still some desktop integration issues, AppImageLaucher and other tools can't integrate it for some reason. Will figure out what's the issue.

    CW: Burner Todo progress report

    I made a solid progress, all features are now implemented, I'm working on the styling part now. There are some quirks though which I came across regarding Qt. I find the built-in widgets pretty limiting, and sometimes even broken. I had to manually set everything for a message box just because the predefined message boxes don't allow custom button text, including positioning, which is a pain in the arse, the message box doesn't want to stay in the center if I resize the window, no matter what I do, haven't find any useful resource about it on the internet, whatever, I'll leave it that way for now. Also, I can't add CSS/QSS classes to the individual elements of the message box and input dialog, so styling options are also pretty limited. Not to talk about checkboxes breaking, not showing checked state, if I add a border style to the indicator. I'll have to subclass that just because I want to add some styling. If it isn't broken, idk what is...
