Wow, this article hits home. Recently my wife and I were admiring the full moon, and she wondered aloud how many moons we'd been together and said, "maybe you should use your programming stuff to find out."

A month later I surprised her with a home cooked Android app called RacoonMoon. It features a random picture of us, and along with some very cheesy love messages and inside jokes, says how many moons we've been together. It barely works, and she loves it. We are the only two users.

I wrote the app in Python and ported it to Android using Kivy, which was not an easy or straightforward process. It seemed to be the best way given that I didn't want to take the time to learn Java or Kotlin, but if I were to do it over maybe I'd bite the bullet.
