Welcome back! This devlog will probably be just me spitballing about how to implement checkpoints in jobtrail.

What I mean when I talk about checkpoints I mean a way to remind users when they last updated any application that is still in the "applied" category and ask the user to specifically state whether they have:

When to run checkpoints

I'm pretty set on the idea of a checkpoint being created on Sunday; that way you can go through it and if needed send emails that will - hopefully - be seen on Monday; plus, setting up a schedule for something like this is easy enough :)

Here's a little schema to - hopefully - make it a bit clearer

I'll probably do a separate log detailing a bit of the architecture that I'm going with for this project because it's not yet finalized (I might change the backend stuff entirely, we'll see)
