I just added the book I read to test the site. The UX on mobile is really great and very fast, but the clear documentation is lacking because I had to look at a lot of examples to understand what was what and what I needed to do (and I’m still not sure if I did it right). Anyways: https://bookbrainz.org/work/d20ce032-2b77-45df-...

Looking good to me, and yes, the documentation is still sparse.

Was trying to debug #BB-806 Can't submit entries with float values for dimensions - for solution wanted to ask that, Database Modification: Should I adjust the database schema to accept decimal numbers, allowing users to submit float values?
Frontend Validation: Alternatively, would it be better to implement frontend validation that informs users that only whole numbers are allowed when they try to input float values?
monika_.19: The database modification seems like the way to go, integers only is restrictive for no good reason as far as I can tell

Thank you for your insight regarding #BB-806! I’ll adjust the schema to accept decimal numbers for dimensions, ensuring users can submit float values without restrictions.
Hmm, I wonder if that really makes sense given the unit is mm?
I can hardly imagine someone trying to enter micrometer dimensions except for weird edge cases like the smallest book in the world

Mmm, I misunderstood the issue indeed
I guess the issue here is more about being able to input mm or cm (with decimal point) and converting automatically to store in the database as we currently do.
There's an issue for that I think, but I have to run to a meeting now
monkey: Sure, I already submitted the Google form yesterday. Only the WordPress page behind the link which I submitted with the form still has to be filled with content.

I find this last minute submission so stressful, even from a distance 😅
kellnerd[m]
Yeah, for my usual level of perfection I started to late with the blog post.
I underestimated how long it would take to get the three PRs ready and opened with a good description.

Let me know if I can help with anything! Maybe you can leverage your good PR descriptions into blog post content
kellnerd[m]
Hehe, I am leveraging everything from my proposal, last year's post, meeting notes, PRs etc. I only have to combine all the ingredients into a fluent text, and as you know me that alone might still take ages.

Well, remember that the Google requirement is not to have a perfect blog post! Though I know you will ;)
