Like the idea of the app. However, the upper part of the interface (text entry page) seems to be a hair too big for the screen on my iPhone 14 Pro. I can't see the First letter of the Month or the last half of the Cancel button. Not sure what the first button is below the text box. Can only see the last half of it.

Actually dug through because I only had a vague recollection. So the Pi-Cromite version I remembered has been discontinued. However, there is a MMBasic for Linux that cribs some code from that project. And, it can be compiled for the Raspberry Pi. I might venture to suggest that this might be one of the most fully featured Basic implementations that can found for the Raspberry Pi. Link here: https://github.com/thwill1000/MMB4L

MMBasic is the actual basic used on the CMM2. It is really a great system with some advanced features for BASIC. https://www.mmbasic.com/downloads.html

I do recall that there is a port of MMBasic for the Raspberry Pi floating around somewhere. I think it is on the forums at https://thebackshed.com but I couldn't tell you how to find it. I do think it runs under Linux and not on bare metal but I might be mis-remembering.

This is not the same as "sudo curl https://getsomefile.ro | bash". That is dangerous. While I understand your point, it's really not the same thing. This checks your system for its architecture and then downloads the correct binary to the directory you run it from. I know this because it's very easy to copy the URL, drop it in your browser and read the script. That's what I did before running it. And it is certainly safer than adding some random software repository which is what a lot of instructions suggest.

Didn't the BeOS filesystem (BFS and later OpenBFS) make this possible? I remember being impressed with they way extended attributes made the file system and files into a database for any programs that wanted to interact with them. And, I don't know exactly how it worked but the system supported live queries that allowed you to drill down based on the attributes. MacOS and Windows both created things intended to appear like live queries but they always seemed slower and less elegant.
