My big win was writing my first post on dev.to!
dev.to/syntopikyle/my-system-for-r...
Nice job!
Nice!
I finally figured out a tricky bug thatβs been frustrating me this entire week!
Congratulations!!
That's the best feeling. Way to go!
Few things are more relieving / satisfying! Nice
Woohoo!
Easy!
Getting married π° π€΅ππππππβ€οΈ
AYYYYYYYY congrats!! I did that just a few weeks ago too!
Huge congrats to you both!! β¨
This isn't a personal win, more of a shout out..but I'm really proud of how DEV Listings is coming along, with lots of work from @mariocsee !
For example, we now have a liquid tag for listings:
This listing has expired.
I can vouch for the amazing listings! I put one up yesterday night and already had a first response by the morning! π
Since you mentioned there are liquid tags now, I have to try it out... #shamelessplug βΊοΈ
Looking for company to work with on Master's thesis project in Front-end, UX, and/or Accessibility
Getting so many invitations to jobs that I can't even handle!
sick!!
I know it sound dumb but this week I learned the power of vlookup in Excel and it helped me shorten the amount of work I had to do to translate our app from English to French. Instead of taking around 7-8 days to do, it took 5! :3
happy panda dance
Meme required for complete success π
I released a thing I've been working on for months!
Readymade is a microlibrary for developing Web Components with TypeScript.
readymade-ui.github.io
That's pretty cool! I've been going the other direction with WC's when I have time in the evenings β that is creating separate CSS, JS and HTML files and having RollUp do all the work behinds the scenes. I'm sort of enjoying not working with a framework.
Going to have to play with your lib for one of my experiments. Thanks for your work! I'm excited for another way to do them. :)
I wanted the css to be inline with the component, so I made this to at least post process the css with postcss.
npmjs.com/package/rollup-plugin-in...
Nice. tagged templates are pretty awesome, though I'd never seen them until I played with lit-element. More ways to produce WC's is a great thing.
I really like the css-tied-to-component idea (in WC's and other frameworks), just don't enjoy writing CSS or HTML in JS. Probably silly of me, but I got RollUp to inline the separate CSS & HTML files in a template literal inside the final JS bundle without much fuss. Never could make webpack do it.
Much Angular. When does a library stop being vanilla, this is a question that bothers me often. Good job though, sorry for the philosophy!
Is Readymade vanilla? Iβd like to think itβs mint chocolate chip.
I'm down for chic chips but I rarely like mint in ice-cream. π¨
My biggest win this week was finally getting around to building PlaceKeanu.com, which I had in my list of ideas for some time. π
It had an overwhelming response, so thank you if you checked it out. β€οΈ
I also wrote two DEV articles! One published today, which I'm really happy about, and one related to the Keanu project.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. π€
I published my coding challenge on Github. Disney Codes Challenge is where participants build Disney inspired coding projects for 23 minutes each day for 57 days. It is now live on Github and I'm doing the challenge myself on Twitter at #DisneyCodesChallenge.

I got to start a new developer on building their first project. We pair programmed: Built the foundation of a grid system together from scratch (flexbox, "don't overthink it") then a site icon lib using icomoon.io, symbol-defs and
<use>.fill:currentColortoo.It's pretty awesome to see that moment when a concept clicks and they realize a big, highly-stylized site is within their reach. I know next week will bring stumbles and some frustration but right now it's fun to see their joy.
