Weekly Vusfy update #40

Hello everyone,

How are you? As always, it is a pleasure to have you here.

Welcome to the 40th instalment of the Weekly Vusfy progress updates. Let’s dive straight in. :)

Dependency updates

To make Vusfy possible, I rely on code written by other people, which I then use in Vusfy. These dependencies regularly publish updates, and this week, I have applied the latest batch of them.

Fix an error when changing timezones

I have noticed that there is an error when you, the user, try to change your timezone on Vusfy. Vusfy checks your timezone before allowing you to perform certain actions, such as creating a new event.

As a consequence of this bug, the moment you moved away from your usual timezone, Vusfy’s usefulness sharply decreased. I have now fixed it, and I apologise for the inconvenience I have caused.

Add away mode

I have had periods of time where I thought, “it would be nice to just pause my activity on Vusfy”. Since it was a recurring wish, I started working on it, and here we are. It took me far longer that I would have liked to get to the bottom of it, I got there in the end. Thank you for your patience. :)

Now, if you visit the page to edit your profile, you will see a new link, that leads you to the new away mode section. Here, you will be able to view, create, and edit your away mode periods. To delete an away mode, you will need to first view it, and then you will see a button to delete it.

Something to keep in mind is that, to create an away mode, the period of time you are considering must have no goals, events, goal occurrences, or event occurrences that happened in it. E.g. You want to create an away mode from the 1 October 2024 to 31 October 2024. There is a goal, that happened 9 October 2024. Vusfy will prevent you from creating this away mode.

In the same vein, you cannot create a goal, event, goal occurrence, or event occurrence in the period of time covered by an away mode. E.g. you have an away mode from 1 October 2024 to 31 October 2024. You want to create an event for 15 October 2024, but Vusfy prevents you from doing this, because you have an away mode set that covers a period of time that includes 15 October 2024.

Conclusion

Thank you for your time, and until we meet again, take care of yourselves.

Cheers,
EpiHandle
