cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
This is actually a pretty interesting idea, though I'm not sure how much yak shaving houses have (they definitely have some, but I think the DAG is not that deep) that tracking recurring dependency graphs is something I want to roll into micasa.

In any case, I rescind my sarcasm.

Pretty good. Might have to find a way to incorporate that.

Is human-generated humor Markov chain output?

Much appreciated. Definitely A LOT of back and forth on the copy, design was actually very few iterations. Docs of course have their own rule in AGENTS.md, since Claude seems only slightly less likely than your average software engineer to forget about documentation. :)

There's definitely some scope and appetite for some notifications/reminders here. I haven't thought about the UX here, but the ingest pipeline + automatic reminders seems like a killer combo!

Probably, but who has time for org mode? :)
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
I suppose that's true!

Yeah, I spent a bit of time trying it out on a mobile device, but nothing particularly small, so this isn't surprising. Suggestions for how to address it? Would love a GIF or screenshot in a GitHub issue if you're up for it!

We can! I just haven't thought through the interaction yet.

Hard to balance the terminal font size, page styling, and desire to show something.

I decided that truncation was better than sacrificing font size or spending eternity noodling on page styling.

All ears if you've got any ideas.

Might have to start mimoto...

Projects have statuses, and not all of those statuses are active. Some projects are in the planning phase, for example.

Not currently a feature, but open to it!

Now THAT was funny.
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
It is.

Good point. I will definitely move away from cp.

Valid question. Mostly because I wanted linking and couldn't be bothered to lookup vlookup. Naturally, the first alternative approach I considered was build a terminal app.
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
Probably not that different. One difference is that it runs in a terminal.

The business is strong with Maximo: "Optimize asset investments with AI insights to cut lifecycle costs, align budgets and achieve your goals smarter and faster".

Optimizing with insights to cut lifecycle costs? Where do I sign up??

You can also track aspirational things like renovations or other home related projects.

Probably not. The demo data is fake. Mostly there to test drive it with ephemeral data.
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
Good question. Do you have a screenshot you can share?
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
Reasonable stance.
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
Yep, I have a few open issues about this. Cars and tools were next on my list.

Funny enough, Saul and I recently hacked on getting visidata's Ibis integration updated, so you can use visidata for poking around databases of any size, really. You might like that, but also visidata has non-ibis support for SQLite I believe.

mibarco, I dig it. Don't have a boat, but I can imagine they're a pile of dreams, shattered and otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback!

Did you hit this in the Docs open flow?

micasa will call xdg-open (linux)/open (mac)/cmd (windows) when opening a document, but there's nothing that's explicitly opening a text editor.

Thanks! Curious to see what you build with it.
cpcloud··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
Heh, I actually turned that off because I kept getting confused about where I was. Perhaps there's a better UX there, or better styling that would make me less confused and keep the nav wrapping.

This UX was a bit iffy for me, but I thought I'd experiment with it and decided to go with it.

When you edit an ID column, it opens a form editor to edit the entire row at once.

The thinking was to make all columns editable _in some way_, but ID columns are autogenerated and thus not designed to be directly manipulated.

I thought: since the ID represents a unique entity, in this case document, then it made some sense to make editing that editing the whole row.

That said, this is a bug even with the explanation I just gave: editing on the ID column of Docs doesn't show all the row's data in the form. Will fix that shortly.
