0.1.5

Date: 2026-02-15

Refactor code before starting work on database cache for Artportalen, and tidy up app resources.

Ensure HTMX resources /hx/ are only returned if the HTTP header HX-Request: true is set.
Make the /design-system resource available only in DEV.
Remove OpenAPI doc resources in PROD.
Refactor and simplify configuration and settings to entirely use Pydantic-settings.
Refactor utility code for handling observations and make it easier to add other sources of observations with API:s, like eBird and iNaturalist.

Date: 2026-01-28

Fix fav-icons for home screen shortcuts

Fix issue 10 and add desktop and home page shortcut icons for Linux, Mac, Windows, Android and iOS.

Date: 2026-01-26

Refactor more code.

Refactor source-code directory structure for Jinja2 templates and static assets files.

Date: 2026-01-25

Fix minor bug and refactor source code directory structure.

Fix issue 11 with internal server error when observation data lacks "sex" attribute.

Date: 2026-01-03

Add tracking of selected date to see how users use that feature.

Date: 2025-12-26

Release first proof-of-concept app.

Fix bug in display of sex icons.
Rewrite Tailwind CSS layout and tighten up layout on mobile.
Fix better background and header colors.
Handle Artportalens HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests). Implement a retry scheme with max 5 retries and exponential back-off. But response times for the app starts to degrade after just 20+ simultaneous users, due to the rate limiting of Artportalens API. Eventually I will need to implement a local cache for better response times.

Add short description of the app and a personal data policy on the "Om" page.
Add map showing the geographical extent of SthlmBetong on the "Karta" page.
Add 404 page.
Fix responsive layout for smaller (mobile) screens.
Show version info and changelog.
Add dark mode.
Add navigation to previous and next days observations.
Include links to each observation in Artportalen.
Show basic information on each observation.
Add main app page that shows observations from Artportalen, for today and within the SthlmBetong geopolygon area.

Add hint coloring for DEV-environment.
Add analytics tracking with Umami.
Set up reasonably good logging with log rotation and deletion.
Set up server with Docker, Portainer and Traefik for running a public development environment with Let's encrypt certificates, on DigitalOcean.
Write a Docker file for the web app.
Set up application code structure and a CI/CD-pipeline with GitHub Actions.
Decide on tech stack for web app; Python, FastAPI, HTMX, TailwindCSS and Docker. For maps I use MapLibre GL JS and OpenStreetMap.
Implement a simple CLI-program for trying out the Artportalen API:s.
Fix a geopolygon for the SthlmBetong area.
Set up GitHub repository.
Register a developer account and get API keys from Artportalen.
