Description
Brain Bytes is a collection of very short pieces of knowledge about computer science that you can read in less than 30 seconds.

Background
(What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
I am a web dev bootcamp grad, meaning that I lack some computer science knowledge.
While working with my colleagues, I realized that I often got short feedback about some basic concepts such as internationalization (i18n), algorithms, or SCRUM, which I had no clue about.
These feedbacks were very short and rememberable.
Hence, Brain Bytes.
How I built it
(How did you utilize DigitalOcean’s App Platform? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
Brain Bytes is built with Ruby on Rails, React and Tailwindcss.
Digital Ocean made it very easy to deploy!
In the coming months I will try to play with things I am not familiar with, such as GraphQL.
Additional Resources/Info
Please tell me what you think about it!
Is there anything that seems missing?
Would use it? and if not, why?
Next things on the roadmap:
- submission title
- input preview
- tags and filters
- milestones to reach before Jan 10: 100 brain bytes recorded
