I started learning Combine this week on the Apple platforms and discovered it's not as scary as it first seems. But I also want to believe it's because I've been using a fair amount of JavaScript lately that helped me get that functional reactive head space working.

I continue my journey into the "functional side" of javascript. I've been playing around with sanctuary, which is like a hardcore version of ramda (which in turn is the functional version of lodash). It's been interesting and weird, you get this cool utility functions but you also get error messages like this.

 error: Uncaught TypeError: Type-variable constraint violation

 insert :: String -> a -> StrMap a -> StrMap a
                     ^           ^
                     1           2

 1)  true :: Boolean

 2)  "Incorrect" :: String

 Since there is no type of which all the above values are members, the type-variable constraint has been violated.

I guess this is good if you know haskell (that type signature is a haskell thing for sure), but it takes time to get used to if you don't.

I made a little guessing game with it. Click on a hex color and an alert pops.

I knew there was duck-typing in C# -- I've taken advantage of it and written a generic duck-typer (PeanutButter.DuckTyping which happens at runtime), but there were still some interesting bits in there!

This week I started learning Github actions. I implemented a CI-CD workflow for Sharepoint framework Apps(Online). The journey was hell 😤. But the effort did pay off 😎

I learnt how to send mouse events programmatically to create something like this:

It was requested by a user that needed something like that for disabled users that couldn't handle a mouse.

Nice!

This week I wrote test cases for the flutter app, I am still struggling to write test cases. Maybe next week I can write some better ones. Also this week I haven't took time to write any blog posts ;-(

[Nick Taylor]

That’s great that you got some test cases out. In regards to blog posts, write them when you have time. Don’t stress out about it. Life’s too short!
