I’d caution against your “free forever” offer. Most people tend to backtrack on it.
There’s one case where it gets super popular, or attacked by spammers/bots, and the site becomes more effort to operate publicly than you want to do for free.
In another case your girlfriend stops using it, as well as some family, and the continued maintenance over the years feels like it isn’t worth it (because there is always maintenance.)
Either way you might want to shut it down, and promising “forever” to users feels problematic when you’re not being finically incentivised to keep it running. With the financial incentives it’s much easier to pass the burden on to someone else if you can’t run it for whatever reason too.
The funny thing is that I am Spanish, and I tricked myself because we discussed between "piruletas" and "piruetas", and I had the message prepared before the name change, my bad.
> it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).
In Spain Spanish I never heard them called anything else than "chupachup" (regardless of brand), guess it's a bit of a "Kleenex/facial tissue" syndrome going on there.
Nice, simple, light and dark theme, a calendar.
I would remove the internet checks for your storage.ko-fi.com and it did some calls on pypi.org and files.pythonhosted.org.
All it needs should be on the docker by default. But that is just me.
I find our standards and norms around network access to be unacceptable. Programs shouldn’t access the Internet without opt in by the user either as a setting or a UI interaction.
We had many years of applications from the dial up error and prior that didn’t assume constant connectivity and we all survived.
Even an OS enforced blend of oauth style initial permission and LittleSnitch where the user is asked what they consent to at first launch would be fine.
To be honest, my non-negotiable was that it needed to have some orange, but that doesn't work very good with a calm, minimalist app, so it remained as the accent color.
The rest wasn't my choice, we just did a few tests and my gf chose the palette you see today.
Having said that, you got a point and I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it.

Read this as "dairy app" and had so many questions
Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).
Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

That's a lucky escape.
For some reason car manufacturers have this issue
Mitsubishi Pajero (renamed in Spain).
Ford Pinto (renamed in Brazil).
Toyota MR2 (renamed in France although slightly different issue).
Honda Fitta (renamed in Scandi countries)
I would like to add Nissan Moco (snot/mucus in Spanish) to that list.
That's where LLMs with web search enabled help to check for dangerous project names in other languages.
You don’t need LLMs for this (or most things suggested in HN comments). http://wordsafety.com/ has existed for years.
They don't have "etron" thought, which might explain some poor naming by Audi ?
Hyundai Kona (renamed in Portugal to Kauai)

Well, we would refer to chupa-chups (brand) to the ones with a ball head. And Kojaks if they had gum inside.
Piruletas were the flat ones, either circular or heart shaped.
What about the classic heart-shaped bright red "piruleta" from the "fiesta" brand?

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciated!

Wholesale accepting all of the stock Opus colors is certainly a choice.

I don't know, I thought the design looked really nice.
How do you monitize the hosted version?
The demo doesn't work (invalid account when using the creds mentioned on the homepage)
Thanks for the feedback, I figured it out, I guess I forgot about the trolls...
Rolling out now...
I just tried it demo/piruetas and it works, can you double check?
Can confirm that that username and password are not working in the login page.
I have tested many times, I have asked other people too... I cannot replicate what you are experiencing, sorry.
Edit: It was firefox, it doesn't work on firefox!
Same issue for me.
Same. It just doesn’t work.
Also a bit confused about self-hosted vs “free”.
You can self host the app yourself or use the free hosted one I provide
