@golemwire Depend on how much data you want to store. Floppies are super reliable when storing one bit.

I just realized that if I want my own widgets inside the table instead of text, I need to copy-paste the StandardTableView widget. Kinda disappointed, but it's not 100% unworkable.

#biking in the #snow is fun!
Just enough more slippery to open new moves, and not as hard to push through as deep mud.
And when you fall, your thick jacket saves you. No road rash, either!

Even icy car roads are fun, in the challenging kind of way. Except when there's a car just behind... Don't […]
