😀 MyJournal

A lightweight journal that runs on the Arduino UNO Q with Arduino App Lab. Write journal entries in a clean web interface and save them locally on the board in a SQLite database (via the dbstorage_sqlstore brick).

What it does

• Write an entry (optional title + date + body) and press Save entry.
• Entries are stored in journal.db on the board's local storage.
• View all saved entries, newest first.
• Delete an entry with the Delete button.
• Real-time updates: every open browser is kept in sync over WebSocket.

How it works

• app.yaml — manifest declaring the two Bricks used:
  • arduino:dbstorage_sqlstore — local SQLite storage.
  • arduino:web_ui — serves the journal web interface from assets/.
• python/main.py — backend logic:
  • Creates the journal table (id, date, timestamp, title, body).
  • Exposes GET /api/entries to list entries.
  • Handles save_entry and delete_entry WebSocket messages.
  • Broadcasts the refreshed entry list to all clients after a change.
• assets/ — the web interface (index.html, style.css, app.js) plus the Socket.IO client libraries in assets/libs/.

Run it

1. Open the project in Arduino App Lab with your UNO Q connected.
2. Click Run (top-right).
3. When the App is running, open the web UI (via App Lab's Open App button or the address shown in the console).
4. Write an entry and hit Save entry.
