Congrats @vaibhav
Congrats @vaibhav
Thank you! :)
Got 2 paying customers for MeetingPlace.io - woot! 🎉
Sweet, congrats Chris 🥳
Thanks! Since the site is based around physical groups (in person meetup type groups) the lockdown really killed off activity (and one of my first customers cancelled :/) but it's found a new life with virtual events and remote groups!
So I'm leaning really hard into the remote side of things :)
Yup, it is an interesting situation for the world as many of us look for new ways to interact.
In early January 2020, I was dreaming about getting paid as a speaker for many dev conferences 🙄🙃
heh, yep! The world took a crazy left turn and upended so many plans :/
Finally learned Gatsby!
Congratulations! 🎉
Do you have a pet/professional project in mind?
Thank you! Yes, I am going to finally develop a personal website. I am not sure which kind of design it will have but I cannot wait to start! Gatsby is such a genius tech
Sweet. GraphQL is really strong these days. I used to work in a e-commerce website and we got to the first MVP within months using Gatsby + Shopify
Woah, that's a great result! I hope that GraphQL will be used more often in the future
Awesome, good look with your personal website that's a really cool project to work on, and you can test stuff there too
Great
I’ve been learning the basics of Golang and loving it so far! Also finished editing 2 JavaScript tutorials I’ll publish here this weekend. Lastly my take home project for a React/Node position is due today wish me luck fingers crossed
I’ve always wanted to learn about Golang, but I never have any ideas of anything to actually build with it so I’d probably forget it all. This is what happened with me and Python, Ruby, and Elixir. I spent a lot of time learning them, never used them for anything significant, and my brain did a garbage collection and deleted the knowledge - or at least, moved it to archival storage 😃
I literally was just having this conversation with someone last night about how you start to lose knowledge of a programming language if you’re not working with it on a consistent basis lol! I resonate deeply. That happened to me with python, NodeJS, c++, swift and now even CSS and I’m a frontend dev lmaoo. I hope to livestream building stuff with Go. There’s an idea I have in mind to build an expense manager app with user auth/reg so I’m hoping that motivates me. I also found writing blog posts or tutorials on my learnings helps reinforce the concepts too
Ah yes, the glorious expense app. If I had a peswa for each time I started then abandoned such projects, I'd have a cedi. I have excuses out the wazoo, but you at least have a plan which can help you stick with it.
I'm rooting for you! 🙂👍
The key IMO or at least what works for me is to do smaller problems (Micropatterns - youtube.com/watch?v=9uvp4h7gXHg). I watched it in one of the talks about learning Elixir, but this works fine for any language. So its easier to stay engaged and learn the language if you work on smaller problems exercism.io for an instance.
Oh so many, where do I begin?! Okay let's try:
Loving the plant care website ☘️
What kind of plants do you have?
Thank you! 😁 I have quite a few, but the most important ones are these: Sansevieria Trifasciata, ZZ Plant, Alocasia Polly, Alocasia Zebrina, and a few different Crotons and Spider plants. I have about 40 in total right now 🌿
What about you?
That's a lovely family of plants and so many!
I just started adopting plants this year:
Currently propagating the pothos too!
It's an amazing, but dangerous thing to start. Before you know it you have a jungle at home!
Pothos is still on my wishlist, so once the garden center opens again, I'm going to see if they have it!
Built a small game using Phaser!
I published my second article about "Npm over Yarn" :)
I prefer
npmas well!Good to know☺️
re-designed datorss.com
I completed the first version of a chapter of my bachelor thesis 🎉
Released a new major version of my emoji picker component, Emoji Button! Was working for several weeks on fixes and improvements, I’m really happy with how it turned out. Hopefully others will find it useful!

I've been learning Js and it was frustrating. All week I woke up, watched a tutorial and after a few minutes I would get bored. Today, I tricked myself into learning more and having it stick within two hrs. I would watch a tutorial, today was Arrays, and after watching it I go learn some more about the same.That way, thr subject won't seem too strange and confusing plus I grasp more😌 that's a plus for me
I've been working on a HTML resume tutorial site, but took a break to speed-code a Zoom utility, which made me realize how much I love automation and little scripts like this.
Also, I joined Dev.to officially (having been a longtime no-account lurker)! Hello everyone!
Finally wrote a new blog and started working on a new one!!
I'm in the beginning I know but I had just learned javascript ❤
I was working with it and angular with just knowing the fundamentals. I know it's wrong but it was working 🤷♂️
Now I know the more advanced topics and I'm proud of that.
I released, and subsequently fixed a couple of times, my first VSCode Extension.
Hopefully it's useful to other people. It's had a few installs already, so things are looking good.
