`Day 34`
• Continued the REST API Course on YouTube (dropped it after #6)
• Typed up rough draft of conversation points for podcast
• Refactored Daily Doc
`Self-Comment`
• Dropped the course as it was in Java and was becoming more difficult to follow. I came across a few repos on github that do well with Retrofit and may filter/recreate theirs.
• Temporarily working with one screen for 1-2 weeks, so tabbing in and out gets tedious. Ended up trying to be productive on 1 monitor so I typed up a rough draft with conversation points
• Had some motivation to refactor Daily Doc. Pulled some logic out of the View(shouldn't be there) and placed it in the ViewModel. Working to create a single note for each day &amp; if daily note is already created, load the data to edit. (basically cache daily note in Database)
• Did not work on RBP today.
• Possibly app idea in thread
`Goals Tomorrow`
• Work on Daily Doc
• Review <https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/interop|Compose/interop>
• Work with Retrofit App in the evening (2 monitors)

`EXTRA SELF-COMMENT:`
• No RBP today. Did not even think about it, decided in the morning to ignore. It feels more like a burden to complete. Either need to finish it anyways or message friend.
• Had a thought on possibly taking once a week to right about various android related technologies(i.e. MVVM, Room, Retrofit, Compose, REST APIs, DI, etc). Figure out how much I understand vs what I think I know.  Will probably take a big chunk of a day, but seems like it'll be worth it.

App idea:

Countdown Timer

*Create a Pomodoro Timer App.*
Inspiration here came from the various ones I come across that all have a bright red theme when counting down. Red's been troublesome to look at ever since I started seeing errors in my code :laughing: so I'll just build my own :slightly_smiling_face:

*Fetch data from one app and retrieve in another*
This one will take a lot of work and need to improve my server-side skills. Since I'm already planning on having Users and Cloud Firestore, what if I also implement this in the Pomodoro App? If the user has an account created on both, the pomodoro's get uploading to the daily data in Daily Doc. So in the Details Screen, along with other information you will also be able to see how many Pomodoros you did for the day.

Interesting thought at least. Would be a lot of work, but give me a much better understanding on Server-Side programming and working with data sharing between two apps as well as Cloud Db. :thinking_face:
