I survived one week of e-learning and working while kids are home full time! Hats off to my wonderful wife to did the bulk of e-learning. She has so much more patience for their emotions than anyone I know.

Congrats for you and your wife, learning is even harder than working (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ since you must be focused all the time. 🥳

I crossed 250 followers on Twitter ⭐ and they all are amazing and I'm quite happy because of the engagement rate.

I also made a pet project to fresh up my skills - Rangeeni Color Picker 🎨:

Website: rangeeni.surge.sh
GitHub Repo: github.com/justaashir/rangeeni_col...
Please ⭐⭐⭐ the repo

I also wrote a post about my design approach here:

  • Managed to get at least some work done given the circumstances
  • Launched async.dev (async standups for remote teams) as a mini side project! Looking forward to doing work on that as a distraction from regular work :)

Wicked good timing to release any sort of remote team application. 👏

I thought so :)

I've actually owned the domain (and had the idea) for about a year - but I figured it was time to get going and actually release the thing 😁

The reason for winning this week is the fact of having a safe home and being able to remain in this moment of chaos that the world is experiencing. #StayHome

Due to the crisis my workload has dropped dramatically and for now (This will probably change :p) my wife and i have the whole work from home with kids thing pretty well under control so that leaves me with a lot of free time and boredom. So I finally got around to submitting small contributions/patches to WordPress. Time will tell if they get accepted but it has been a fun exercise.

So if you find yourself with lots of free time as well i can really recommend checking out some open source projects. Especially if you never contributed to OS before, figuring out how that whole process goes is a fun little ride.

I started an online course, I published my newsletter (first issue in a few weeks), and I used ProductPlan for the first time, which gave me so much joy cos I needed a way to visualize my release plans! ^_^

Definitely feeling pretty good about the upgrade to webpacker 4 and Babel 7 for DEV.

Now I'm halfway through the Storybook upgrade. All kinds of goodness coming into the codebase.
