How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

The irony of pointing this out when there is literally one less hour of the weekend this weekend...

How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yes but for example for seizures I want a simple form, not having to type in entries. Especially for siezures, it's normally a busy event of caring for him, having to add a seizure taking more than a minute means it probably won't be used.

Both good suggestions, thanks for the ideas

I didn't know they had free tiers... I'll look into it

Hmm...i do have a raspberry pi that isn't being used... Since it's asp.net should be Linux compatible... Not a bad idea

Well it's also a learning project as through a series of events I am technically a software developer in job title who got thrown into a c# code base with databases after doing a python boot camp for 9 weeks and have no mentor to tell me what I'm doing wrong on professional projects.

So background, my kid has seizures often. He is currently on 5 different medications to try to control it(plus 1 for sleeping and 1 for his liver enzymes) plus severe non verbal autism so he can't tell us if he already had his meds. Currently when it's medication time, it's always "did you give him his meds yet?" and we have no way of tracking how many seizures he actually has besides "alot more recently" or "it's gone down recently". Yes he had multiple doctors and this is NOT a post looking for health advice.

I am creating an app for phones(c# Maui) which will send json objects to a api to store/retrieve data in a database(when he last had medication x, when he has a seizure etc). It will probably only be used with in my family, maybe 20 entries a day on a really bad day(7 medications twice daily + 6 seizures to give a round number) but should be less then 10 transactions(most medications given at same time).

What's the cheapest/easiest was I can host something like this? I do not have a static ip. Yes it's health information but I'm only storing first names and tracking time of events, not too worried about hippa like security.

People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though? (programming.dev)
 

The only possible exceptions I can think of are fish(I imagine gills and mouth are not connected but don't really know). I am excluding bacteria and viruses and I believe they don't really breath(correct me if I'm wrong).
