Goal

• build with pyinstaller main.py --add-data *html:. --noconfirm (assumes all relevant assets are html)
• built executable is avaialable at ./GITHUB/goal/dist/main/main
  • is in the autostart of Startup Applications
  • also in the start menu with an Atom copy-pasted desktop shortcut :)
    • this is useful when editing goals in obs, because you have to restart

Documentation

• whole thing is mostly controlled by main.py
• at heart it's a pywebview thing, with one window, being triggered in the main function
• the actual UI is determined by main.html, an HTML file w/ a little bit of javascript calling back into main.py and a shuffle button
• some values are "passed" into the HTML by simply running a replace on the loaded html file before passing it into create_window
  • ..like the world's worst templating language
  • ...namely:
    • $NEXTSTEP, the current next step that's freely editable in the <input>
      • managed via a getter and setter, getNextStep() and setNextStep()
      • actual value is saved in a simple config, following best practices with the appdirs directory
    • $GOALS, which are actually managed in Obs
      • they are recursively parsed out of the Obs dict, half-hard coded, with find_goals() and extract_goals() and find_file_in_directory(), chatGPT functions to start from a goal .md file and look for goals in this file recursively, building an array of "leaf" goals with no children
      • make_goal_select() takes this array and dynamically builds a <select> to be slapped into the HTML string
        • this has surpringly nice affordances, like ability to be shuffled in a line of js in main.html w/o callback to python and ofc manual goal selection if one wishes to do so.
