Launched a landing page for meetingplace.io/ after meetup made a really baffling $2 RSVP pricing test (info here: meetup.com/lp/paymentchanges?mpId=...) and got 400 email signups in 3 days! 🎉
Now I just have to execute on it 😁
Go Chris go! 📣
Congrats Chris! Just curious, where did you promote your coming soon page in order to get that many signups in such a short time?
I heard of it through theverge.com/2019/10/15/20893343/m...
and some people also shared it on Vue's Discord channel, which has a lot of active users
I started by posting it on twitter, and then as ajv points out, it was picked up by the verge somehow :)
I am building one too, being working for community since 2 years, it's devncode.tech, let's collaborate if interested.
Congratulation !!
Congrats! Best of luck.
So cool! Best of luck with it🌻 Also, the landing page looks great looking forward to the release :)
Thanks!
Stay strong 💪
So cool! Looking forward to the launch announcement!
In week two of my 100 days of code I ran into some more difficult future material and some serious fears about whether I can meaningfully teach this to myself - but I broke through them, coded every day and finished this app assignment last night.
Ahhh, awesome.
Nice one
I set up my desk, and part of my room! Also, I thought I broke my home computer, but I ended up figuring out the issue and it was pretty minor!
For those curious, it was a RAM problem -- it's always a RAM problem 😑
Got a badge for consistent writing by dev for four week streak😎😎😍😍
Congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
Didn’t know that’s a thing!!!
Got a badge for consistently writing blogs
I published my first post to DEV.to 🎉
I was planning to do that for a long time but didn't feel like I had something to say that hasn't been said before. So it's a bigger win for me than it might seem 😊
My article got more than 20k views on Devto. I totally didn't expect that, it was awesome
Two weeks ago I asked for help because I was going to have my first code interview.
dev.to/crz/need-help-first-coding-...
I had the interview on Monday and I think it couldn't have been better. I think I have a good chance on getting an offer!
Woohoo! Hope it works out :)
It took me all week, but I finally got voice recognition done in my app.
Contributed to DEV and got my DEV contributor badge! 😎
Woohoo!
Congrats!
Happy to find out people are actually reading and commenting on DEV. Not sure triggered by which thread, but followers keeps growing ;)
Can you share more info on the study plan?
;) sure, once I nail it!
I had been eyeing a dev backpack for months now and I recently got a voucher that covers its payment, while I was waiting for payday which is next weekend,so that I get cash to pay for shipping, I got a PayPal alert, someone bought me a coffee for the free Android app I have on Google Play.
I'm expecting my dev backpack to arrive next week 😁
Earned a whopping 8$ on my first fiverr gig.

NLP API is coming along alright
This week was less productive than I wanted it to be -- it's a week sandwiched between two conferences for me!
I did get to spend a lot of time reviewing code for people contributing to DEV which is really exciting.
This week I completed my React project for my DigitalCrafts bootcamp, ALL BY MYSELF. Everyone else worked in teams to divide the workload, but I wanted to ensure that I could do it from start to finish. Go me!
Holding my tongue and being quiet.
Published my first Library ♥️
Fcal
Math expression evaluator
I love the name of your library!!! 💩
Thank you !
It's just combination of formula and calculator
I finished the game I was working on for a week, and wrote the final post-mortem analysis: dev.to/deleteman123/my-hacktoberfe... really happy with it! Now trying to look for the next challenge!

I was able to finally get my first project working after two full years of failing to make it work. It was a real testament to my personal growth in coding, so I even wrote about it here:
The Importance of Perseverance
Aimeri Baddouh ・ Oct 17 ・ 10 min read
Catching up with team mates in other locations, getting a better view of Roadmaps and connecting the dots to make effective collaborations.
Also did an AWS Game day today which was hilarious, frustrating and fun.
Got a full time remote job (php) .i wasnt prepared for the interview and got confused with many questions but At the end of the interview the Interviewer asked if i am currently learning anything new, i said i am learning hadoop and python and its fun! 2 days later he called me for negotiations and gave NDA to sign.
I am starting to learn Spanish again and this time I am more committed :).
During the learning process, I figured I would write an app that helps me and others.
So, here it is.
play.google.com/store/apps/details...
and source code
github.com/siristechnology/spanill...
It scrapes news and shows Spanish and English translation side by side.
Please be generous on Google Play Store reviews ;)
Both mental barrier breakthroughs that proved to me that I can make money online remotely! (yeey!)
Pretty minor really but: we'd lost our Wiki months ago due to politics of some sort. I had to unpick how our back end code did hreflang tags for different markets. I was convinced it was getting the info from the CMS, as it was the external-facing CMS layer that was fetching the info, but apparently not - it was a flat file. One of those parts of the system nobody has looked at for years. So anyway now I can make the change I need.
And! Also: potentially a big win for the BE. We have literally like 4 different map pages in our system, that fetch all kinds of data like locations of retailers, places where you can get the product serviced, another that logs special promotion events, and another that shows users' success stories, showing where they used the product & telling their stories about what they achieved. So now we've been asked to do another that's about supplies for the product, using yet another 3rd party API. I sat down with one of our younger guys & said "Look, this one for supplies - it's going to overlap hugely with the retailer location data. Why don't we split this out into the various API clients we need - one to build a map, another to retrieve the retailer locations, another to do the supplies, another for the user stories & all that - and make it one map system to rule them all, and scrap the different ones?" I think it'll make it a LOT more straightforward & we can use pluggable APIs, just swap in the service Impls as needed. I'm kinda stoked about that. It doesn't do much visible to the customer or the user, but it'll streamline expansions/extensions and simplify support. Headache reduction for my colleagues. :-)
I delivered a two hours workshop about unit testing best practices. Thanks for all the folks here on DEV who helped me with their comments.
Another win is that I am alive. Today while driving home, I lost the power steering. Luckily I was in a not so usual traffic jam going downhill, so it only gave me an extra workout not a surprise at high speed.
Hi there. I think, despite probably needing a new more modern layout, I have relaunched my limited company website on top of Piranha CMS. inforhino.co.uk
Think it ticks enough boxes to be competitive.
So, now I can get on with building the reporting solution for my property platform - findigl.com which needs a lot of work to bring to life.
This was a big ago, but...
My last day here is Oct 31.
Blogging more, starting to find a rhythm.
I've read your posts. Very nice 😃 👏🏽
I had a talk in Thursday in a Berlín Meetup, that was both important to me and tricky. It went well and felt great!
