    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.

    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.

      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.

      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 ?

      > 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.

        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.

      • patillacode 51 minutes ago
        What about the classic heart-shaped bright red "piruleta" from the "fiesta" brand?

    Wholesale accepting all of the stock Opus colors is certainly a choice.
    • patillacode 57 minutes ago
      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.

        I don't know, I thought the design looked really nice.

    The demo doesn't work (invalid account when using the creds mentioned on the homepage)
    • deafpolygon 5 minutes ago
      Same. It just doesn’t work.

      Also a bit confused about self-hosted vs “free”.

      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.
        • patillacode 17 minutes ago
          I have tested many times, I have asked other people too... I cannot replicate what you are experiencing, sorry.
          • rscrawfo 8 minutes ago
            Same issue for me.

    No offense but creating a brand-new project and giving it a foreign-language name without double-checking, only for the name to be wrong, makes people wonder what else was overlooked.
