Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Ecclesiastes 7:8 ESV
Start
I was actually been following Ionic Framework since it's version 1. I even subscribed to Ionic Creator because I'm really not a hardcore programmer. Then it went on to v2, v3, v4 and I still can't make it work.
Then suddenly, Anvil came into the picture with a very bold declaration, "Built nothing but Python". I'm reminded. I have a little bit of Python skills in me from over a year of building Airflow DAGs. So I jumped in and built the very first version of the Daily Devotion app.
In Between
I was actually happy because this was the first time that I made a working web app. And it's built nothing but Python. Compared to other web frameworks I tried and built nothing.
I really love using my app. I actually have my daily devotions saved there. Until such time that I'm not using it anymore. And I'm not updating the app anymore. All because of the user interface. I really don't like how I can't make the look and feel the way I want it to be.
End
Anvil is really a wonderful framework for building web apps, specially if Python is your favorite language. So it's not Anvil's fault, it's me and my buggy attitude. I want to build something beautiful with less effort on me because I'm not a designer.
I give Ionic Framework another shot and this time it's already in v5. I rebuild my Daily Devotion app and true enough, it's pretty. Specially, when used on an Apple device. 🍎
