My first article on freeCodeCamp got published! 🥰

It's one of my big wins because freeCodeCamp helped me a lot at the beginning of my webdev learning journey. So it feels good to give back to the community. ✨️

First, I had to apply to become a writer at freeCodeCamp. After got accepted, then I wrote the draft of the article. Then they reviewed and published the article.

Wrote about and made some code contributions to Postmarks, social bookmarks for the Fediverse! And then, we went camping 🌿 🏕️

Loving the setup! Hope ya enjoy the great outdoors, Andy. 🏕🚙

Also, excellent #fediverse post — love the idea of postmarks and being able to share bookmarks. 🙌

This reminds me that I previously relayed a feature request for adding a similar mechanic to DEV in this GitHub discussion called Allow folks to share reading lists. I think I may have to go back to this one and advocate for it. 🙂

It would offer a brand new way for folks to be able to interact with content... build a link list of posts you like and share it. Plus, it would jive well with our current reading list. It's a win-win... the person building the list can organize their reads and hopefully get some cred for sharing a cool list + the authors of the posts in the list get to have their posts shared in a collection and seen by more folks.

I finally am getting attention on a side project I have been working on for years! I haven't been very good about promoting it, granted, but it's still good to start seeing other people using it.

  • Took a half day on Friday, just to slow down and relax.
  • Refactored a messy piece of code that was giving me stress. Mainly due to the said messy code was written by me. I was trying to follow my own advice., and it was a good choice.
  • Resumed my learning journey with Go

I've got another brilliant idea for a project and made a poster.
I've also launched a waitlist for the project so anyone interested can join!
