Reckoner Update November 2024
There’s a lot of background work that has happened this month.
🚢 Releases
While I haven’t pushed a new release on Codeberg, I have finally gotten Reckoner approved for the Apple App Store for iOS! I am happy to have this complete, but it was such a pain to accomplish. XCode is such a bad IDE and development tool that is very unintuitive. Even when the app compiles and works correctly on the local machine, it may randomly fail in one of the multitude of devices you still need to support with Apple. Check out this if you’re rocking an iPhone/iPad.
With this, I will not be working on any more platforms to support. The only additional platform would be Windows, but I had a lot of issues getting the encrypted version of SQLite working on Windows. Maybe if the app becomes wildly popular, I would consider making a Windows native version. For now, they will just need to use the web version instead.
🤖 F-Droid Future?
I have an open issue to add Reckoner to the official F-Droid repo link. In order to release on the officially F-Droid repo I want the build to be reproducible and for them to use my signed version of the APKs. We’ve gotten some progress done on that front, but there was an issue where Codeberg suddenly started blocking F-Droid servers due to other DDOS attack mitigations. That has since been resolved, but that likely contributed to the stalling of the ticket.
I’ll continue to work on F-Droid support when I hear back from Licaon_Kter on my latest comment.
🎩 Upcoming Enhancements
I have some nice enhancements I’m working on for v2.0.4. In particular, the transaction views are getting more love and making sure that all of your data is available at a glance. For the desktop and web, I’m going to add Material Table View. We’re going to get a lot of new features:
- user resizable columns
- The ability to reorder columns
- Sorting on every row
Additionally the mobile view is being enhanced to also show the categories and tags when the user taps on the list item. This is a personal niggle of mine and my wifes that should be good for just about everyone. I’d be hard pressed to think of a person who would like the old format except for people who don’t use categories or tags.
