[03:09:18]<FarmerEd[m]>Fantastic symbioquine, I spent a while yesterday evening trying to make a custom search but that feature renders it pointless now 😆.

[09:34:50]<symbioquine[m]><FarmerEd[m]> "Fantastic symbioquine, I spent a..." <- How was your search going to work?
[09:42:26]<symbioquine[m]>> I spent a while yesterday evening trying to make a custom search
[09:42:26]<symbioquine[m]>I really should document how to do this... that thing with async iterators is a bit complicated.
[09:45:14]<FarmerEd[m]>Well I'm really just playing around, but had a custom search limited to just Animal Assets, which would be the assets most used.
[09:46:31]<FarmerEd[m]>But I would have worked towards filtering groups like "Breeding Females"
[09:47:23]<FarmerEd[m]>Which you have already achieved here really.
[09:47:54]<symbioquine[m]>FarmerEd[m]: I'm curious what your flow would be like with the feature I just implemented.
[09:48:04]<symbioquine[m]>They're already grouped I take it?
[09:49:16]<FarmerEd[m]>Well yes, but I'm just playing on a dev server with only a handful of assets, so making it up as I go along.
[09:50:47]<FarmerEd[m]>Really only trying out editing some of your existing plugins to see how it works, just coincidence that I was thinking on those lines.
[09:50:53]<symbioquine[m]>Cool
[09:53:09]<FarmerEd[m]>Not even sure what workflows I'm going to need going forward as strongly considering changing the farm enterprise somewhat in the spring.
[09:53:49]<symbioquine[m]>FarmerEd[m]: Oh?
[09:54:31]<symbioquine[m]>Diversifying? Growing? Scaling back?
[09:54:48]<symbioquine[m]>(If you feel like sharing of course)
[10:00:53]<FarmerEd[m]>Probably not really fit neatly under any of those headings, but considering changing from breeding to just rearing cattle.
[10:00:53]<FarmerEd[m]>For a number of reasons, hopefully profitability will be the focus, but I've a few young farmers getting interested and I feel younger lighter stock might be a bit safer, especially with no bulls or cows with calves at foot on the farm.
[10:03:12]<FarmerEd[m]>Also less night time watching cows as yard is a few KM away.
[10:04:57]<FarmerEd[m]>Obviously there will be plenty similar workflows needed, but a few new ones to be added and a few to be dropped.
[10:05:10]<symbioquine[m]>yeah
[10:05:59]<symbioquine[m]>FarmerEd[m]: We just recently moved to our "farm" and it's awesome to be so close and able to check on things easily.
[10:06:12]<symbioquine[m]>Challenges too of course :)
[10:08:56]<FarmerEd[m]>Yea, I built away from the farm as town is growing rapidly towards it, so at some point a new yard will be built closer to me but that's a long way down the line. At least tech these days can make monitoring somewhat easier too.
[10:15:23]<FarmerEd[m]>I assume the features in that video are not in the latest released version yet?
[10:16:23]<symbioquine[m]>Being able to navigate by clicking on those group members or location "occupants" isn't pushed/released yet
[10:16:52]<symbioquine[m]>Also I fixed a bug related to those components where it might not have loaded correctly in some cases
[10:17:46]<symbioquine[m]>I just pushed them so you can look if you like; https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/tree/development (last two commits)
[10:18:46]<symbioquine[m]>They're just plugin changes so I suppose one could just copy them in locally to try them out.
[10:20:46]<FarmerEd[m]>Cool, will give them a look shortly
[10:21:02]<symbioquine[m]>Awesome! (No pressure obviously)
[11:42:39]<FarmerEd[m]>That's a really big improvement to the Navigation
[11:44:10]<FarmerEd[m]>Can the default page be utilized too? as in /alink
[11:45:17]<symbioquine[m]>FarmerEd[m]: Not in the current release, but it should be easy to fix it so that's possible...
[11:45:31]<symbioquine[m]>Need to delete the existing route for `/`
[11:45:41]<FarmerEd[m]>Could be nice to have a landing page with shortcuts to commonly used tasks
[11:45:57]<symbioquine[m]>https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/blob/51060e363fd01760ce...
[11:46:26]<symbioquine[m]>symbioquine[m]: I'd been thinking about getting around to it at some point here...
[11:46:43]<FarmerEd[m]>cool
[11:47:06]<symbioquine[m]>Probably should just be one plugin that provides the route, but doesn't put much there, then other plugins that provide slots on it...
[11:48:27]<FarmerEd[m]>Sounds Good
[11:50:18]<FarmerEd[m]>Also how do you handle pages with more than 3 slot? as 4 effects the view page width on mobile.
[11:50:46]<FarmerEd[m]>Create new rows somehow?
[11:50:58]<symbioquine[m]>FarmerEd[m]: Screenshot?
[11:58:04]<symbioquine[m]>ACTION uploaded a video: (146KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/BYOMVFQIPFN... >
[11:59:50]<FarmerEd[m]>Ah never mind getting my terms mixed up, I was adding more than 3 search types to the same slot
[12:00:36]<symbioquine[m]>symbioquine[m]: For reference: https://gist.github.com/symbioquine/fd1208ce86ed806c6a6380715645dd40
[12:00:54]<symbioquine[m]>FarmerEd[m]: Oh, yeah... I haven't tested that :)
[12:00:57]<symbioquine[m]>Probably broken
[12:01:17]<symbioquine[m]>Definitely open to thoughts on what the UX should be.
[12:02:19]<FarmerEd[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (200KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/geIQUGmsrDE... >
[12:02:56]<FarmerEd[m]>but that makes sense I guess
[12:04:16]<FarmerEd[m]>probably don't want more than 3 here now anyway.
[12:05:21]<symbioquine[m]>I've been thinking about whether it makes sense to provide some sort of dynamic weighting mechanism...
[12:05:38]<symbioquine[m]>e.g. use a lower weight for more frequently used things in some cases.
[12:06:09]<symbioquine[m]>Then it might make sense to put any beyond the third in a [dropdown button](https://quasar.dev/vue-components/button-dropdown) menu
[12:06:24]<symbioquine[m]>and let them re-order by weight depending on usage
[12:07:03]<FarmerEd[m]>Was going to say scroll across but dropdown would work
[12:07:45]<symbioquine[m]>Three seems a little limiting as well. Maybe 5 or 6 would be a better maximum there...
[12:08:31]<symbioquine[m]>Then I can punt on providing a mechanism for accessing more beyond that :)
[12:10:12]<FarmerEd[m]>6+Dropdown could be pushing it a bit for gloved fingers in the field.
[12:10:33]<symbioquine[m]>Yeah
[12:10:49]<symbioquine[m]>What's your horizontal screen resolution?
[12:11:02]<symbioquine[m]>Oh wait
[12:11:17]<symbioquine[m]>I can just look at that screenshot above
[12:11:41]<symbioquine[m]>I guess 720x1600
[12:11:53]<FarmerEd[m]>1080X2400
[12:12:00]<symbioquine[m]>oh
[12:12:08]<symbioquine[m]>huh, interesting
[12:14:15]<symbioquine[m]><symbioquine[m]> "I'd been thinking about getting..." <- https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/commit/4e13efd6e8e27371...
[12:21:19]<FarmerEd[m]>Screen res 1080x2400 but css viewport 384x854
[12:21:36]<symbioquine[m]>Yay!
[12:21:41]<symbioquine[m]>That's what I needed :)
[12:27:14]<FarmerEd[m]>The difference between hardware specs and actual usefulness

[12:37:08]<symbioquine[m]>Turns out to be an easy fix to make 5 work reasonably
