After collecting all of the information from the user about the new bag, a final confirmation prompt would be a useful addition.

It would be nice to be able to track the shipment of new coffee. BRCC often uses USPS (API doc). This will require some level of write permission for the plug-in to store a tracking ID, so I'll have to wait until SwiftBar enables that.

Is there a way to submit a notification to my computer's Notification Center with the results of any PUT or PATCH requests? Currently, there is no feedback on how the requests do.

This should be normal practice, but is especially helpful given the dependence of SwiftBar on standard out. Update everything to use logging to help with future debugging.

Include a way to add a new bag. Due to the limitations of user input to a taskbar item, it might be best to have a button "New bag..." that then opens in the terminal with interactive prompts for brand, name, weight, etc.

I should improve how network errors are handled. Here are a few ideas:

1. If no network access is available, that should be indicated (perhaps with an empty "drop" as the logo) in the dropdown and no selections should be available.
2. Alternatively, if there is not network access, I could use some simple caching to store the data that needs to be shown for the plugin and then cache input from the user (e.g. selecting a coffee bag). Then, the next time the plugin refreshes and there is internet access, check the cache for requests that need to be made.
3. Multiple attempts for requests (gets and sets).

Currently, the plugin pulls down all of the uses information for the day and then returns the length of the list. It would be faster and easier to just query the number of uses for the day directly.

There needs to be the ability to mark a bag as finished. Perhaps each bag could have a dropdown menu with options to add use or mark as finished? My only fear is how easy it would be to make a mistake with this UI. An alternative is to have a dropdown under "Finish bag" that shows each bag to be selected.
