I am sharing these observations with GitHub directly now, so I guess it's not just a rant here.

Another GH Issues observation: the new UI doesn't align task boxes correctly when some tasks fit on a single line and some wrap to multiple lines.

Minor issue, but it makes a task list look more complex than it actually is. 🤦‍♂️

There's not much left for the 1.0 release. It's mostly testing on Linux and Windows which I haven't done in a while, a quick review of a handful of stale issues, and a review of the overall docs.

For people following along with django-simple-deploy's long road to 1.0, I released 0.9.4 on Wednesday.

This changes the app name from simple_deploy to django_simple_deploy. It's a tiny change, but it touched all aspects of the project.

I ended up writing a post about this process, because there were some interesting takeaways from the renaming work:

There's a small chance that a tiny rant on the orange site just might catch someone's attention at GitHub, and help address the usability issues around Issues.

One can hope?

It's supposed to get up to 60F here today. As much as I miss Alaska, at times, I'm all here for this southern "winter" weather. :)

Also, troubleshooting these e2e issues leaves lots of "my code is compiling" time to poke around the internet.

The real fix is to specify a version in the requirements file.

But I'm curious, is this likely a stale cache in Fly's build system?

I released django-simple-deploy 0.9.3 yesterday, which had breaking changes with old versions of plugins.

The newly-released version, and plugins, work for all platforms except Fly.

On Fly, a django-simple-deploy entry in requirements.txt will cause 0.9.2 to be installed during the initial build. It then fails, because of the breaking change.

If I ssh in and run pip install django-simple-deploy, it installs 0.9.3. Same if I install from req.txt in the ssh session.

BTW I didn’t get far. It’s a gorgeous forest to walk through, but the rhododendrons and briars are so much harder to push through than what we bushwhacked through in AK!

The movement of the pole is roughly perpendicular to a line between AK and the North Pole, so declination is changing rapidly there.

The line of movement is roughly aligned with a line between NC and the North Pole, so I don't think declination will change as much over time here.

I went hiking off trail yesterday, for the first time since moving to NC. That meant I needed to adjust my compass for the local magnetic declination.

When I first learned to use a map and compass well, I thought I'd adjust my compass once in my life and that would be it.

It was so surprising to see how much the magnetic North Pole has moved in my lifetime!
