Took a nice breather... but it's time to get back to the grind.

Messages seem to be working well with the new design. Now off to the conversation cards!

I've converted my mobile and desktop figma designs to code, and I am now working on bringing in tanstack query. Working out loading and error states... that's always fun! Ha ha.

I've implemented my figma designs for chat and conversation components. A couple more components and the chat will be looking much better!

I've now implemented my figma design. As I'm going to go component by component cleaning things up, I knew it was time to bring in storybook, it makes stuff like this such a pleasant experience!

It.. is... nice, having what I wanted as an mvp feature set implemented! As I can now component by component start adding in AAA quality polish to this app. Smaller digestible incremental changes are more fun, ha ha!

Excalidraw has this cool laser pointer feature that allows you to point at parts of a diagram; this is so useful when screensharing. I wanted a simple solution that would allow me to do that over my entire desktop, so I whipped up a simple electron solution that does just that!

Google oauth is now live and I've removed all of my roll-my-own authentication.

In doing so, I had to come up with a database schema that worked well with both.

The next step is to update the detailed post contact button to spawn a new in app chat conversation.

We now have end to end encryption!

I had to redesign a lot in the backend to account for a user being able to have any number of devices. Learned lots on this one.

Now it's time to tie this into detailed posts contact button so that I can remove a user from requiring a phone number for an account!
