Telescope: Quick Update

Telescope keeps growing, and soon we'll have to start thinking about putting all the pieces together.

Not much has happened lately in terms of new features or important milestones. I started researching how to use docker on Windows to be able to add all the steps to the documentation for contributors who use Windows as their main system (my condolences to you all), and soon I'll be adding 2 new endpoints to the back-end so all the pieces responsible for processing feeds will be connected to our database. I think it'll be an interesting and challenging task, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh, something interesting happened. Our CI broke, and the reason was the most unexpected one. It's not that our CI hadn't broken until this week, but it was always us. We've had problems with Windows CRLF, file paths, not mocking tests, but it was always us. But this week, a new version of node came out, and for some reason it broke all our tests. We managed to fix it by making our CI use the LTS version of node, but for someone like me who barely works with web technologies, this was very unexpected.

And that's pretty much it. In a few weeks, we might have all the different pieces working together and maybe it'll be time to start testing telescope as a whole. I can't wait for it!

As usual, good hacking and have fun!
