Nice! What was the PR?
It was this big 'ol thing.
components/CaseTable.jswhich manages the dominant view (using React useContext)components/bodyview.jscontexts/casecontroller.jsresponsible for global app state (!!) including pre-initialized context providerCssBaseline) per best practicesstaticfor nowrfj_expungementis a tool being developed at Code For DC to help pro-bono (volunteer) lawyers. Rising for Justice holds clinics in Washington, DC where they help people navigate the surprisingly Byzantine process to clear their criminal records. If you have a criminal record (at least in the US) it can make it harder to get housing, a job, services, and more.The PR is meant to clean up the repo following the National Day of Civic Hacking, where we had a bunch of great contributors.

Great achievements! What's your project about?
Its a open source voice assistant for android.
Started posting on DEV and quite impressed with the whole platform.
I hadn't realized how much progress it has made since the "Medium for developers" days. There are so many little pieces of polish that end up encouraging discussion and interaction rather than the Medium-style wall of text.
The thing it actually reminds me of most is forums that I used back in high school. I have really fond memories of those and something has been lost between the distraction of Facebook, the real-time barrage of Slack, and the dopamine of Twitter.
Still getting used to the editor. I think I actually like it more than the Quora/Medium/WordPress editors but there are some little technical snafus I have had and still figuring out my workflow.
Hey about the editor part, for writing posts Iβm using bear for macOS and iOS. I can really recommend it! Pro version is not so expensive ;)
I finally broke 200lbs. Numbers shouldnβt mean anything in terms of weight loss as itβs really about reducing your fat, but it was a goal I had set anyways. I did not measure my fat reduction during this period, but I can tell just by looking in the mirror and how my clothes fit, Iβve definitely lost a few slabs of bacon.
Iβve generally been active, but a few bad injuries including a calf tear last fall lead to the weight gain. It was a bit rough at the beginning as I was coming off an injury that took a while to heal, but busting my butt at the gym, sleeping more and eating less (not starving) got me here. No I am not a doctor, but this is what worked for me. πͺπ₯
All that to say, Iβm starting to look more like this university pic minus the scary shaved head LOL.
This week I finished working on jamstack.systems.
JAMstack.systems is the presentation about fast, secure and dynamic sites built with JavaScript, APIs, and prerendered Markup, served without web servers.
