I was so exited that I accidentally commented in another post thinking that post was this... Lol.
Here's the original comment:
I finally saw +1 downloads ( haha... ) in google play for my first android application about food recipes that I created last month.
If you want to have a look the application I created, here's the link:

Try using Flutter.

Gaous Muhammad Saklaen • Dec 11 '20

I am learning new techs everyday and Flutter is also in my waiting list. I will surely try. Thank you for your recommendation.

Was helping a friend study for their interview so we decided to take the notes and covert into a 3 min short video. It was fun!

Ben Halpern • Dec 11 '20

I got myself a new keyboard off ebay. And I love it!

Ben Halpern • Dec 11 '20

Link?

Ben Sinclair • Dec 12 '20

I got one with blue switches (because I like blue switches).

Drevo Calubur V2 Pro

Actually I'll break it down:

Things I like:

Feels great
has arrows and page-up/down keys and stuff even though it's almost a 60% size
Magnetic feet! I always end up snapping the plastic flip-out feet keyboards have so this is really useful
Slightly-recessed USB-C connector.
Multiple bluetooth profiles
Software for configuration is very easy to use
ISO UK layout - you wouldn't believe how hard this is to find in RGB keyboards that get more than 1-star reviews

Things I don't like:

I see strobing effects with the lights - but that's true with most LED stuff, I just have sensitive side vision.
ABS keycaps will go shiny with time
Spacebar is a little loud.
Can't set the colour of individual keys separately

Michael Tharrington • Dec 12 '20

That's a seriously sweet keyboard!

As someone who is also working with a loud spacebar, I feel ya. I kinda got loud keys in general. But the click is so satisfying.

Nico S___ • Dec 11 '20

I resigned and signed a new job offer. Thought the next few weeks will be hard, it’s overall a great relief and a bright outlook for the future

Jen Miller • Dec 11 '20

yeah i know what you mean by 'relief'

Dan Silcox • Dec 11 '20

Gave a demo at the company end of sprint demo, and then posted about giving demos!

Gracie Gregory (she/her) • Dec 11 '20

There are some great suggestions in your posts. Thanks for sharing!

Dan Silcox • Dec 12 '20

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :)

This week was best for me as I participated in a `hackathon` for the first time 🥳🚀

MLH Who Done It Hacks? 🕵️‍♂️ organized by MLH local host it was a great experience meeting new people learning new stuff and build something cool 🤓👨‍💻🎈

Here is what I created along with my friend :

"221B-There's only one path"

A thriller mystery game where you have to find hidden clues and messages in each level and try to decrypt them to move to next level

Due to this amazing experience :

Learnt how to create mystery game.

Learnt how to host a website on using a domain rather that Github pages

Got to know how to use Devpost.
