Drag n Drop / Rock n Roll - (2/100)

I should mention that I did a little bit more work after my post yesterday to empty out my creative gas tank, so I added the delete functionalit...

Good call on not implementing all drag and drop stuff yourself, hope the lib will work out... stuff like that is just tiring and takes a lot of time away from actually building the project (at least that is my experience after have implemented it some times in the past).. Soo far I have not figured out what your project actually will do, seems like some kind of "contact list" .. but I might be missing something.

100% agree. I would love to have the time and energy to create a library like that, but if I can't do it well, I don't want to bother lol.

Also lol that's a great question - thanks for asking :) The idea is just to have some kind of offline and fun looking way of keeping track of people I know. There's a lot of friendships I've let fall off, b/c I don't remember to check in. There's a lot of times acquaintances delete social media and I forget they exist (shamefully). Sometimes I genuinely start to feel lonely without realizing all of the people I love and have in my life. Idk if that makes sense but yeah just a silly lil app 🤖

I could probs do it all with iOS contacts or some other app, but I like the idea of owning the data more and hopefully building up features to make it a cute and fun to use experience.

Yeah, really no point in "re-inventing" the wheel every time ;)

Ahh.. ok.. I understand now. It's like a "memory book" for friendships.. cool.
Don't know why but when reading that the old Bob Marley song No woman no cry popped up in my head.. especially the line "Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost along the way."

I understand your reasons, most things I make is just cuz I felt like making them, there does not really need to be any other reason.. and yeah, many times u learn a lot of things along the way, so it is in now way a waste.
