Collections Week 2 Summary

I'm developing a collection application, under the highly creative name of "Collections". The source code is on Codeberg, as always:

Codeberg repository

This is a recap of the past week of Collections development.

Overviews

Day 8

I tried working on the grid view, as described in last week's summary. However, it was quite difficult, so I put it off and did something else instead.

Last week's summary

Day 9

In lieu of getting the list stuff from data fully working, I instead added a list view and made the view switcher switch between the grid and list views.

Day 10

I created an issue for working on the GNOME Circle criteria, and improved metainfo.

Day 11

I worked on the dialog for adding a collection. The dialog let you choose a name and the default template when creating items.

Day 12

I added the ability to choose colours and icons for the collection.

Day 13

I made an app icon. It looks nice.

The app icon I made for Collections. It is a glass cabinet in the GNOME style. There is a shelf in the middle. The cabinet stores four items, all related to things people collect. In the top-left there is a blue car. In the top-right there is a vinyl-looking brown square with a yellow music note on the cover. In the bottom-left there is a red book. In the bottom-right there is a green video game console and a controller.

The same icon, but shown in the application "App Icon Preview".

Day 14

I didn't do anything with Collections, as I was focused on something else.

Goals for next week

I want to actually get around to getting it into a somewhat usable state next week. I might not prioritise it that much, though.
