RunPee Weekly Newsletter 12th edition (June 3rd, 2020)

If you’ve seen everything on Netflix and your DVDs are wearing out, here’s some exciting NEW movie-adjacent activities you might not have thought of. We may be stuck without fresh films, but can still have good things.

Mandalorian Season Three is Going to Happen! (spoiler free)
Mando is back for not just a second season, but a third. While the popular Star Wars show only aired season one so far, we’ve got more bounty hunter goodness coming, with lots of talent at the helm. Here’s the spoiler-free news. Read more.

What does the ending of JoJo Rabbit mean?
In the final few moments – literally in the last scene – JoJo and Elsa have a nearly wordless moment of connection when Elsa sees the world for the first time since the terror of WWII began. Is this a sad scene? Not at all. But what’s with all the dancing?Read more.

How do the movies in Star Wars and Star Trek stand up to the Bechdel test?
Which movies in the Star Wars and Trek Universes feature — even in a small way — women talking together about something other than a man? How do these two sprawling sci-fi sagas compare? Read more.

Weekly progress diary on RunPee:NX
We are rebuilding the RunPee app from scratch using Google Flutter. Here’s a brief report on our weekly progress:

I hope you like the new design for the Timer. Putting the “tabs” at a 45˚ angle makes them easier to read. Don’t you think?

I’m really pleased with the control I have with drawing in Flutter. The progress bar and Peetime tabs line up very precisely. Before, in the current version of the RunPee app, it took a lot of fudging with the progress bar to get everything to line up properly.

Next on the list is to integrate user registration. I’m really looking forward to getting this app out there for everyone to use.
