amazing. This year, you've continued to push boundaries, tackling complex logic, and even leveraging AI to speed things up. Your focus on improving #DataCollie, especially with intricate details like MySQL column definitions and data-driven UIs, is truly impressive. You're building something
Happy Easter, Leo Xiong! 🐰🐣
Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a cornerstone of the Christian faith, symbolizing new life and hope.
Wow, looking back at your posts from last year, you were deep in development, completing those crucial #DataCollie modules! That dedication is
#DataCollie
I decided to sacrifice a bit of UX friendliness to reduce the complexity of business logic.

#DataCollie daily grind
Frustrating how MySQL forces a full column redefinition just to tweak one attribute—so easy to mess up.
Luckily AI coding helped me ship this feature ahead of time. Need a break now.
Thinking of naming my AI coding agent—any ideas?

Tonight I implemented a feature that generates DDL scripts for modifying a table’s own metadata during schema changes.

After a few days of grinding, I've finally hooked up the Table, Column, and DDL sync in the schema designer. Man, this thing is a huge time sink, I've been stuck on it forever.

Refactored the data model to enable a data-driven UI.
Now the components in the table designer stay in sync automatically.

#DataCollie Day by Day
Lately, I’ve been spending too much time on the Table Designer.
I think I need to wrap up this module as soon as possible,even if it’s not perfect yet.
Otherwise, without the excitement of new features,
I’m afraid I’ll lose my momentum.

Just finished a few updates for the Table Designer's context menu:
Name incrementing now works across different designer instances seamlessly.
If you delete a newly created meta object, the sequence number resets so the next one stays in order. No more gaps in the naming!

When #DataCollie started, I built an eventbus based on greenrobot lib. It worked at first, but eventually needed a rewrite.
This weekend I rebuilt it from scratch: zero dependencies, clean, maintainable, with publish / subscribe and filtering support.

Tweaked text and icon colors tonight — much easier on the eyes now. No more eye-searing brightness.

Removed the DDL preview toolbar. Actions moved to the context menu.
Why:
1. A cleaner, calmer UI
2. Non-frequent actions should stay out of sight
3. One action, one clear entry point
When the work starts to feel like subtraction,I know I’m getting close.

I’m feeling a real sense of urgency for #DataCollie.
The future is clearly in Vector DBs, visualizing similarity and vector search is the must-have for AI infrastructure. Yet, here I am, stuck on MySQL.
It’s a race against time, but I know where I need to be. Get it done.
