Hey, I just went through your fliqr.codes. May I know which technology was used here? I am also a Laravel developer and want to create something similar for my personal development.

What brought me the most satisfaction was to shoot the video storytelling in a single shot:

I'll use this content to explain this technology around me to help people jump in the trains

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Wow! Good stuff all around, Adriens. And major congrats on shooting that video in a single take. 52 minutes non-stop is no joke. Rock on!

adriens • Feb 16

52 minutes non-stop is no joke.

Thanks a lot for the very kind words ☺️

Yup, I had the feeling and let the flow happen. The flow state really is my favorite feeling. I specially like to prepare the storytelling mentally then do the job.

Thomas Bnt • Feb 16 • Edited

I've finished one part of the code, and I'm really pleased with the result! You can get archives via SSH and display them in a table with Nuxt and Fastify. 🚀
A friend and I streamed Poppy Playtime on his Twitch channel. It took 6 hours, but chapter 3 is just as cool as the previous ones! 🧸

I started working on a command-line client for Dev.to :)

Edit: I published an article about it!

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Wooooaaa! This is awesome Kaamkiya. You planning on sharing a post about this when it's ready? Side note: we need to have a good dedicated tag for folks to share DEV-related apps under... I'll look into that!

Kaamkiya • Feb 16

I definitely will :)

Renan Ferro • Feb 16 • Edited

Following the cool format of @lilxyzz comment..

This week I ...

I advanced my knowledge of integration testing with the DOM
I started my new study project, a simple website for you to search for the best rated places in your city to go out

Let's goo

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Woot woot! Sounds like a good week, Renan.

As for the study project, it sounds dope! I'd like to hear about that one. You planning on using some APIs to grab that info?

Renan Ferro • Feb 19 • Edited

Heyy @michaeltharrington, sorry to be late 😅

Yess, I'll use the Yelp API. Basically, on the website I'll ask and get your location and based on your latitude and longitude I get a list of places around you, and with that I'll set up a structure to get the best rated ones and show them on the screen.

I started implementing React components with @preact/signals-react and figured many working patterns to use. This is the most delight I've had working with React in a long time! During the past three years I've grown increasingly weary of how much work you have to do to make well performing components.

With signals I can skip many React pain points. I also mixed in more use of native addEventListener & other DOM which have combined into compact and very efficient code inside the light React wrapping.

Downsides so far:

useSignals() manually to every component using signals because I haven't bothered to use the Babel plugin
Storybook doesn't like signal props, you get a guaranteed infinite loop (workaround: make a wrapper component inside the stories file and use that for meta and StoryOf)

The new components are extracted logic of a very huge and complex main component which I am now finally refactoring to sensible and more well abstracted pieces. I worked a lot with this same component three years ago but then I focused mostly on fixing usability and performance, and cleaned up the code to be at least readable. To put it as nicely as I can, the original solution was clearly written by people who did not have frontend as their main focus.

Saurav Kumar • Feb 16

This Week, I took a step in AI/ML world. I only plan on looking around for about a month though ('cause of my Annual Exams).

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Right on! Sounds like your focus is in the right place, Saurav. Hope the AI explorations go well for ya!

Saurav Kumar • Feb 16

Yeah, Thanks!

Mr. Linxed • Feb 16

The biggest thing this week for me was that I finished the first part of the Java Programming course from the University of Helsinki.

java-programming.mooc.fi/

I'll continue with some projects of my own before continuing with part 2.

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Nice! That's what's up. Hope part 2 goes nicely for ya!

Stefan Moore • Feb 16

I found a great place near me that has great pizza!
Started the rework of my portfolio.

@michaeltharrington share your wins with us

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Hey Stefan! Thank ya for the ping.

And haha, it must be a pizza kinda week. You and @anitaolsen are making me hungry for a slice!

So, I've got a few wins:

A number of us on the team have been working on our FAQ/help page here... while it's not a secret, I don't think we've announced this yet, so you're kinda getting ahead of the scoop here.
I went and played music with a group of folks I don't usually play music with on Tuesday and it was a lotta fun. It was very casual, I was the youngest by far, and we played a lot of old folk and Americana tunes together. Good times!
I've been steadily working out the past few weeks and feel like I'm seeing noticeable gains in strength!

Stefan Moore • Feb 16

Congrats on the wins, stay with them

WavePlay Staff • Feb 16
