Logo trouble
I got home around 2 a.m. and had the idea to continue to code. I modified the BeStreak logo and icons, created a new APK, and checked the app out. The logo was really wrong. It had a black background on a white top navigation bar.
I had to create transparent backgrounds, and when I loaded it back up, white text on a white background made it almost invisible. So I had to create two versions: one for a dark background and one for a light background. Each iteration took some time.
Tidying up
Then I found the rest timer was floating too low in the bottom nav, as were some buttons in the settings panel. I changed the settings panel so it was in a more logical order.
I also changed the exercises tab so that when you create a custom exercise, the machine settings are part of that form, and if you double click on a built-in exercise, you can tack machine settings onto it. By 4:15 a.m. I had coded that with Claude AI. I’ve created version 207. I don’t want to sleep.
