Developed and deployed Postwoman API request builder. Which went viral, now trending on GitHub.
This week, I coordinated with @mrisdal and @sarajchipps to make this happen:

I launched a side project and wrote my first ever Dev post about it 😁

Why I made an a11y tutorial site with a React focus

And the site is Up Your A11y
😁
Woohoo
Recorded my first youtube video!

And it was inspired by DEV! I was doing the daily code challenge (dev.to/thepracticaldev/daily-chall...), and just figured I'd record me doing it... so I think I'll do that for awhile, and see how I like it :)
Keep it up! Looking forward to your future code challenges :)
Thanks!
Really well explained! You should definitely do more videos :)
Thanks!
This is awesome! I want to work up the courage to do this soon...
Thanks! I've done screencast / video coding tutorials before (just not on youtube), so I do have practice doing it :)
But yeah! It's funny how just talking into a microphone, while home all alone, can give you some type of "stage fright"...
Basically, the only advice I can give is just get started! It gets easier the more you do it 😀
I had my first post that surpassed 4096 views! Not much, but I went into it scared that I was gonna say all the wrong things, and came out with tons of validation and new perspectives. Super proud and looking to write some more ☺️
Amazing!
Please share tips. My total views is like 2000 for all post.
This week, I submitted 2 merged PR's to github.com/flexdinesh/typy and made a significant progress (50%, including unit tests 🔥) on the second open-source JS library that I'm working on right now.
Both involved TypeScript so I learned more new tricks and I gained a deeper understanding on the usage of Regex so it's a huge win for me ☺️
Wow what a week
Thanks Ben, and yup this was quite a week for me and it doesn't end yet, we have an incoming holiday on Monday (Malaysia FTW) so I have a lot of time to focus on my personal projects ☺️
Amazing, good luck!
USA has Monday off as well, what should I do? 🤔
The things that you enjoy doing which can be anything 😆
I got to meet a bunch of awesome people and interview them for my podcast.
I published one of those today! It was with Taylor Otwell, who created Laravel, it was really fun to talk with someone that had built such a prolific project.
devpath.fm
I also had a chance to meet five or six other amazing developers this last week, and I'm really excited to share the stuff I learned from them 😃
Taylor otwell is awesome. I really respect the guy even though I don't use Laravel.
I really enjoyed getting to know him.
It was also really fun to find out that he lives in Arkansas (where I live)!
I created my first Gatsby theme and published it on NPM as also my first package!
It's still a WIP but working through it to make a starter and make more themes!
I did this recently too! I'm going to follow your pattern and make a few based off of a starter theme, good idea!
I started working on a brand new book. In fact, it'll be a series of small easy to read books for JS developers! And I'm going self-published, so I'm really excited about this, I'll be sharing with the community as soon as I have news!
I submitted 3 abstracts to CodeMash, the first conference I've submitted abstracts to. I've spoken at 3 user groups and once a month at my job for the last year. We'll see what happens, but submitting is a huge win in its own right.
