Attempting a Windows Service
On my Mac, I wrote a small nagger app to help remind me when I may have extended a break too long. It is connected via mqtt to a hardware bell I have on my desk.
Recently I have been spending a bit too much time in Factorio so wanted to see if I could make a similar version on Windows.
I have not previously used my Windows PC for development (I do all of my work on MacOS or Linux), so the first step was to install VSCode, uv
, and git.
This was not particularly difficult and recently it seems like installers automatically handled updating PATH
for powershell.
