New API Documentation & Website
🕑 Added 2019-11-19 15:00:03 +0000 UTCIf you pulled up the beestat source code or talked to me about programming for a while you would find that I really like to use my own solutions as much as I can. Instead of relying on a ton of third party libraries and functions, I built beestat mostly from the ground up. I enjoy this challenge and prefer the control this gives me over my work.
However, I'm totally cool with using third party tools for things that aren't core to beestat. So instead of burning myself out on the Recent Activity chart last weekend, I took a short break to move my API documentation from Postman to Notion.
Notion is something I've recently discovered. It's primarily marketed as a note-taking application, but it can actually be used in a variety of ways. I've decided to give it a go for all of my internal notes, help & support pages (something I want to eventually build out), and API documentation.
Other than the few hours of effort it took to write up the documentation, I spent almost no time getting this up and running. The alternative would have been to put all of this together on the beestat website...something I'm more than capable of, but that would take me at least a week to do and I prefer to use that time working on more important things.
Speaking of the beestat website...check it out! I finally released the updated version. It's nothing grand, but the color scheme matches the application now and it's simplified a bit.
In other news: I plan to take the rest of November on cleanup and technical debt. In December I should break ground on sensor data!
