Working on rebuilding my portfolio! Trying to improve performance and UI and code structure and everything tbh, in the new one I am challenging myself by trying to load it under 2s! So far I am able to load it in 1.6 seconds though I am yet to put some content in it :D. I will post about it here once I am done.

Here's a small preview:

Trying out React Native for the first time trying to build myself an anxiety-free (or low anxiety) todo app. We'll see how that goes - both in terms of my low anxiety goal and my trying to learn RN goal 😅🤞

Why React Native? I ask, out of curiosity, not judgment :)

I've been stalling on redesigning my web site for several years now. The first task is to completely rewrite the back end (was in PHP/MySQL, now ASP.NET Core/EF Core/SQL Server).

I'm currently looking at front-end frameworks to develop the administration front-end (I need that before I even think of redesign the public-facing web site). I looked at Blazor last night and it seems to need a little more work (either that or I'm dumb, which is a possibility I'm willing to entertain). Today I'm looking at Vue.js. I've done a little bit of React at work, but that was months ago and I don't remember most, if any of it.

I actually came to DEV right now to look at a few posts about Vue.js and see what people think/do. I tried a Vue.js project in VS 2019 Community Edition (we use VS 2019 Enterprise at work, in case anyone is wondering why VS) and the experience has been underwhelming when it comes to running the project, so I'm kind of open to alternatives.

I might actually post a discussion about this later today.

So yeah, that's the project. And cleaning my place. :)

Working on an idea for JS and TS devs to enjoy elm architecture without all the fuss of redux, and using another rendering tool (lit-html) instead of react.

Kinda toying with being framework agnostic but right now got a commit in progress that's working on expanding the update function to allow for promises and to specify a next message,in addition to the main run function returning a promise of a dispatcher for initialization messages.

I'm calling it lit-tea, combining that lit-html library and the elm architecture (TEA).

I started a project to translate a style guide from our design team into a tailwind config.

I thought it would be fun to then build a vue.js app that parses the tailwind.config.js and renders a live style guide from the config.

Front end code that aligns exactly to the design style guide 😱😎

Working on a project for monitoring and collecting logs from sites that I've developed through work.

No links atm, but I'm building it using .NET Core 3.1 (API project and a Worker Service) and an angular 8 project for the UI. I might switch that to a Blazor app instead, just to try it out.

I've been working on:

  • templates: A list of templates to use as part of your product/business development
  • Discover: A recommendation engine for developers. Currently sends out a weekly newsletter with recommendations from your GitHub network. WIP.
  • Something that has been on my mind for quite a while now and still working on a prototype. I want to set up a simple web app that iterates through news headlines and maybe tweets from selected accounts, etc. The purpose will be to set up a big screen inside my living room that will be constantly showing that web app.

Feel free to contribute to the above in any way you want. Contact me for more information, I am always looking out for friendly connections. :)

This past weekend I started the Applitools Hackathon for November. Its an interesting way to get folks to try their Visual UI validation platform. I haven't used Applitools in over 5 years. I was interested to see how far the tool set has come along. Plus, a chance to win some prize money isn't that bad of a motivator.

Building the Curious Messenger web app with Elixir and Phoenix Live View by following a series of blog posts, and today I completed part 2.

Curious Messenger

For the curious Phoenix Live View is a package for the Phoenix Framework, that lets you do a lot of the usual Javascript work in the server side, but in Elixir, and this is done in a very efficient, fast and scalable way.

Currently putting the finishing touches to a cross microservice request tracing middleware library for ASP.NET core.

There's probably tonnes of stuff already out there, but sometimes specific scenarios are better solved with custom libraries.
