Update on Disco Tray Studios and life experiences

Good Vibes Flutter App

1. I was able to implement the dark mode feature and have the theme change dynamically throughout the app. The change is conistent within all widgets. I was able to do this by referencing the change in application state for dark mode or light mode. Using that reference in all pages, I was able to provide ternary operations in widgets that contained a color attribute. As for themes for text, that one was a little bit tricky because some text attributes were individually determined rather than abstracted. I was able to change the color for texts in the app that did not belong to a header or a title. For each individual title and header I needed to provide a condition for it to change.
2. I could not get persistency to work but I do have the utility code for it i.e the code for storing and changing the value of the stored key. However, I am unable to retrieve that value from the local storage at the moment. Hopefully, I will figure it out during our meeting today.

New Changes In My Life?

1. This week I struggled with making life decisions–I had to choose between different job offers and evaluate my worth as a developer, the benefits of the company and work environment. I ended up accepting an offer with First Orion in Little Rock, meaning I would relocate from Fayetteville to Little Rock. This is quite the change from my original plans as I was planning on living in North West Arkansas and working for my current company, but that is not to say I am super excited for this new change. I am really proud of myself for all the growth and strength!
2. I have also been struggling with my health but I am doing everything I can to get better. If you are reading this…send me good vibes.
