Yes. How i tried to solve it: you have a shopping list where you can add things on the fly. These things will need to be categorized (food, household supplies etc) at a later date, which is when the review is due for the "Uncategorized" category.

Generally, i tend to buy the same things, so the "big" data entry job happens only once.

Working on a phone app that streamlines household management for unmotivated losers (like me) so that they stop wasting money (wasted food) and time (procrastination)

Working on an app that helps me (and other people) do household management on autopilot. It helps me manage things, food, expiration dates, shopping, chores, and I get notified periodically to review my lists. I waste way less food and I actually do my chores instead of procrastinating. https://okthings.app

For anyone looking for an Elm like experience but without the limitation imposed by its creator, take a look at Elmish, a port of the Elm architecture in F#.

Advantages: You can use F# on the front and backend. Pretty good js interop with a lot of opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot.

Disadvantages: You will probably need to use the Elm docs/tutorials to learn about Elmish.

This seems similar to the joke where after Brexit, the Germans are angry that english is still the official EU language and they change the english language until it sounds a lot like german.

In a few years, C# 20.0 will have only one release note: Changed the name from C# to F#

TL,DR: Try F# or other "impure" ML languages if you want the security of types but you don't like actually typing the types.

I also used to love js / php because because I thought types make the code unnecessarily verbose. After some pet projects with a strongly typed lang (c#) I realized the peace of mind that using types gives. But I still maintain my opinion that types make the code too verbose.

But then I saw the "light" that is F# and I'm here to preach:

F# has types BUT you don't need to type them (most of the time) because it has type inference. F# can be used in the .net ecosystem and most of the time it can replace C#. F# can be compiled to js (although the interop is a bit messy). F# is a better typed javascript than typescript. F# is predominantly functional but you can also write code in the non-functional(ha!) style of your choice. F# discourages you from coding mutable spaghetti F# has decent tooling: VSCode + Ionide + dotnet + paket F# has pipes |>

The bad parts:

F# is not a hard-core functional language like Haskell, but for me this is a positive F# is a functional language which requires a change about how you think about a program. F# doesn't have a huge community F# doesn't give you a lot of job prospects F# doesn't have a lot of 3rd party libraries (but you can use c# libraries in .net or js libraries with fable. You can also mostly port libraries from other functional languages) F# requires you to think about the order of your declaration. Cyclic dependencies are harder to accomplish although this might be a good thing.

The content seems pretty vetted.

When I used it to learn .net mvc, the course was pretty well produced and structured.

Also, if I remember correctly, Troy Hunt had a web security course on the site.

Don't try to start with a web app. I'd recommend looking into Fable (the F# to js compiler). Write f# and run it in the browser, I found it to be a better and faster feedback loop when compared to a .net project.

Play around with the f# language (don't touch the js inter-op) until you can figure out if you actually like f#. Take it slow, it's not just a new language, it's a different paradigm. If you get frustrated, take a break for a few days, watch some f# videos and let the knowledge settle. You'll eventually start having evrika moments.

Look into other functional languages. Maybe you'll like others more. Accumulate knowledge and experience until you start thinking "I could do this a lot simpler in f# (or other lang)".

Then, if you want to use f# in a c# project you just need to learn how to reference a project in another project.

If you want some resources: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/video/ some of these videos can get you "hyped up" for functional languages

the entire https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ site is a good resource to learn everything from the basics to the wizard level stuff.

As an editor you can use Visual Studio but I'd recommend Visual Studio Code with the Ionide extension.

If you're interested in .net and the clr, you could replace c# with f#.

It's the most practical functional language that I've tried. Great for domain modeling and it can used in C# projects.

I also think that c# is too verbose so what I normally do: asp.net core mvc for routing, templating, authentication / authorization, data access etc and then reference an f# project that contains the domain logic. The best of both worlds.

so don't sell to people, sell to robots

it says ARROw down > cARRot See the resemblance?

i'm wondering if it's possible that after you enter your email, a window will pop that points at the email provider ( gmail in my case ), for convenience's sake.

Or maybe, with support from the email provider the pop up will contain just the link

Or maybe you could redirect to the link automatically

it's starting to look like 3rd party auth, only that you need to enter your email

i read an article by pg saying he thinks email is practically an impractical to-do list and it would be nice for someone to create a replacement ( for emails ) under the guise of a share-able todo list;

i think
