2025-W49

The busiest week of Earlier work so far.

22 commits to Bow & Bridge (.NET, 2025) from Thu 4 Dec to Sun 7 Dec 2025. The first version of Bow & Bridge was a C# / Blazor web app: a catalogue of books, chapters and luthiers (violin makers), with an auction-house register. This week set up the project, the data model and the first screens.

  • Created the solution with a single Entity Framework context holding Book and Luthier entities, database-generated IDs, and a seed-and-reset script for a repeatable local database.
  • Added chapters and book images with a tagging system, image tags, and dialogs for editing them.
  • Split data access from business logic into separate service layers, with better loading and logging feedback.
  • Started the auction-house register and a dashboard, and applied a unified colour palette across the interface.
  • Added sitemap and robots.txt handling and a first YouTube import.
