Made one of my hobby projects open source and deployed it to npmjs. It's an Angular component:

github.com/milantenk/ngx-interacti...
npmjs.com/package/ngx-interactive-...

looks a lot like what Muhammed Erdem made a few months ago:

Milán Tenk • Aug 15 '20 • Edited

Exactly, my goal was to have a similar Angular alternative for that. This is why I reference that project at the end of the README and my LICENSE file contains the license of the original version as well.

Simon Holdorf • Aug 15 '20

Cool, didn't read that file. Good job and glad you gave him credit.

Christian Wagner • Aug 15 '20

Very nice.

Khaled Yassen • Aug 15 '20

Thank you!

That is top class!

Splitting the string and animating each character - great use of Angular animations

Milán Tenk • Aug 15 '20

Thank you for the feedback Brian! 🙂

Davey • Aug 15 '20

Amazing. How long did it take you to develop that?

Milán Tenk • Aug 15 '20

Thank you! Well it is not easy to tell this. I started it roughly half year ago, but there were several months when I did not work on this project. My estimation is 40 hours. 🙂

Prafulla Raichurkar • Aug 15 '20

This is Awesome!

Milán Tenk • Aug 15 '20

Thank you! 🙂

Samnan Rahee • Aug 14 '20

Started learning React Native while on a 49 days coding streak! 🥳

Mohammad Fazel • Aug 15 '20

is it open source? ;))

Samnan Rahee • Aug 16 '20

Not yet but I wish to make it OpenSource!

Mohammad Fazel • Aug 16 '20

nice! Keep me notfied!

G33kNoob • Aug 14 '20

Wow 49 days streak

Samnan Rahee • Aug 16 '20

Thank you! ❤️

Added dark mode feature to my project ReactWeather.

Dana Ottaviani • Aug 14 '20

The design is beautiful. ❤️

Ehsan Azizi • Aug 14 '20

Thank you! Dana

LucianoWebDev • Aug 14 '20

This looks amazing! The shooting star animation in the dark mode switch is awesome!

Ehsan Azizi • Aug 14 '20 • Edited

Thanks Luciano,
To be honest the dark mode switch used in the app is from an NPM package (react-dark-mode-toggle). It's not what I built from my own.

I'm new to DEV, so this feels amazing 🌻

We released a new beta feature on the DevDojo site a couple of days ago. It’s called DevBlog. It lets you setup a fully functional blog with custom domain name for free in less than a few minutes 🙌

Did a new app => Pomodoro

Tyler V. (he/him) • Aug 14 '20

Did my first coding stream on Twitch Monday night!

It didn't go very smoothly at all 😅 but I have a few ideas to make it go better next Monday!

My last tech talk was an absolute train wreck - barely got there on time, only got to rehearse driving 4 hours there, had to redo my slides from scratch when I got there (leaving a typo in my company name and two major points missing, only one of which I caught while presenting) - but it was still very well received (save for the one guy who closed his laptop, put it in his bag, and walked out, when I said, "If you're looking for code samples, you've come to the wrong place. This is a philosophical/architectural talk").

Amoury • Aug 14 '20

Wow that's awesome 👏

George C. G. Barbosa • Aug 14 '20

Got my first

Rose • Aug 14 '20

I've survived another week of summer camp as staff! The heat definitely cracked me yesterday, but all is going well now. Kids are going home tomorrow, only need to stay up as late as I can tonight to close the last night with a banger. ^^

JkImExploring • Aug 14 '20

I got a request to do a code assessment! I did the practice one they sent over and am currently reviewing the parts I didn't know before I attempt the actual assessment. I also got three rejections and an email back about what I should improve upon! It's all part of the process.

Amy Hudspith • Aug 14 '20

Wrote a post about being autistic, something I've been wanting to write but have been scared to publish 😅

Matthieu Cneude • Aug 14 '20 • Edited

📙 Finishing the outlines of my book.

I wanted to write a book since I'm 10, I'm so happy I have finally time to do it. 🥰

Amoury • Aug 14 '20

I just checked out the site. Can't wait for it to launch. Very interesting topic for the book.

Matthieu Cneude • Aug 15 '20

Thanks!

From last week's win:

I gave constructive criticism of the latest episode of a podcast I listen to (it was on a subject I've focused on pretty intently for the last year+) which, in hindsight, could have been taken much differently (text is dry, especially since my email was a freaking Tolstoy novel).

Instead, one of the hosts emailed me back thanking me, admitted that they were in a rush and winged it without show notes, said I'd be getting a shout-out in the next episode, and asked if I'd like to be a guest doing another episode on the subject!

Got my shout-out: dev.to/stereoplegic/i-m-not-really...

And the other host also emailed me to confirm that he really wants me on the show to talk about React Native persistence and sync solutions.
