yesterday I barely could touch &scratchvalult besides fixing the linking errors with the CloseWindow overlap. But today I already got all the basic storage-related needs.
I am now saving the copied contents to disk besides the internal in-memory structure, I load everything back up at start, listing, reloading, deletion, and a basic search within the contents of all the saved texts.
Now getting to a basic working version is mostly figuring out the UI and rendering.
I expect to start that later if nothing comes up 🙂

&scratchvalult in the end I couldn't do much today, lots of unexpected unrelated things happened. At least I got to kind of get the basic structure done. Got a system tray entry with a menu, and got to open the main window from there (now I need to try the things to be able to close it xd)
Let's see if tomorrow is calmer and I can figure out the general UI

Started my jam project &scratchvalult and got to set up a global keybind (hardcoded for now) and to be able to retrieve and print whatever text is in copied in the clipboard.
It was way easier than I expected going through the win32 docs and all.
Tomorrow I'll try to decide on how to handle the app's lifetime and either start wrestling with visuals or system tray
