Code will be posted more often?

[Uncle Buddy]

I'm seriously thinking about starting to post my code weekly or even daily, instead of waiting till Chapter 2 of Treebard development is finished. There are several reasons for this, including:

1. I'm old, I could drop dead without notice at any time, although I have no plan to do this.
2. I feel pressure to finish Chapter 2 of Treebard development so I can post the code and people can use it. I don't like to feel pressure.
3. There have been so many deep changes to the code base since Chapter 1 of Treebard development was finished and I last posted the code, that the code which is now on the blog is not a good representation of the project anymore. This also amounts to pressure to finish a project that needs to be done right, not done quick.

The first step will be to scour the Python modules for extraneous comments and docstrings that need to be edited, imports no longer being used, and other clean-up tasks. The next step would be to post the code.

This impulse was prompted by being without an internet connection for almost 3 weeks. I started to fear that I might have missed my chance to get the code to those who are interested. I don't mind being ignored, but I do mind not being on my soapbox.

I've made four new videos on writing GEDCOM import and export programs, and started a new series of videos yesterday with ten new videos. I'm planning to go back to YouTube since Rumble.com suddenly stopped letting me post videos one day because of my location (the Philippines) and didn't respond to my requests for an explanation. If I get all my videos into YouTube playlists there will be one less task to keep up with (maintaining a playlist on my website.)

I tried moving my channel to Odysee.com but there was absolute zero traffic. I don't like the Google monoculture that's developing in the computer world, but keeping my videos off of the only website where people go to actually watch them is not going to hurt anyone but... well it doesn't really matter to me since I don't monetize my videos, but it might hurt your chances to help revolutionize computer genealogy if you never watch my movies due to their not being on YouTube.

The new video series is about writing a genealogy app from scratch. I had rewritten my colorizer functionality some months ago and it was easier code to use but much slower running, so that needs to backpedal a bit. Other deep changes need to be made in the code for the events table, so I decided to start with a minimal app which is the perfect beginning for a new series of videos called something like, "Writing Your Own Genealogy App From Scratch". I'm currently finishing up an autofull tkinter.Text widget which will hopefully have multi-line display like the tkinter.Label widgets being used now. If it works, I can go back to the notion of typing directly into the events table cells instead of having to double-click them to edit their contents.
