Thus ended the first week of the year and what an odd week it was! In a backwards way, the repeating news cycle pushed me to stop checking the doomscroll posts and focus on these side projects to get my mind off of it all for a little bit.
What I did last week:
- Continued portfolio work items and pushed changes on each one this week; today I focused quite a bit on restructuring my site and design. It's getting very close to share, I know it. I figured I'll get the site out first and ongoing changes will be occurring anyway with project work and all links to my Github repos anyway.
- A few evenings, I went back through Scrimba's free React introduction and was able to pay more focused attention this time around, it did not take long to pick back up for future practice.
- I used the reintroduction to begin refactoring my markdown previewer and moving it from Codepen to a local 'create-react-app,' and further deploying it using Surge.sh
What about this week?:
- Main goal is finish the basic design of my portfolio and get that released to the web.
- Continue refactoring my React projects to move them to use hooks for state.
- If there's time: either update dev.to article descriptions so they can act as a preview to link from my blog to the site or remove altogether
