I learned how to create a Flutter barcode SDK plugin this week. I've published the plugin to pub.dev and implemented a simple Android app for scanning barcodes.

I learned that if you feel like you have something to tell or show to the world - just do it instead of finding more and more excuses!

This year, with my new job, I was able to afford a virtual art class and I'm currently learning about the skeleton and human anatomy! :3

it's not really dev related but for a while now I've felt like half my brain is heavier than the other and returning to drawing is a way to level that out! 🎉

It's True - Dwight Shrute

For folks interested in the DEV API, check out our API documentation.

Also, @coffeecraftcode and I did a stream on the DEV Twitch Stream this week with @jlengstorf for anyone interested.

We talked about Jamstack, serverless, and had some fun pairing on a project using the DEV API and Netlify’s serverless functions. Check it out and if you aren’t already, give us a follow at twitch.tv/thepracticaldev!

  • Do some CSS art. It is not complex but I like to create it.
  • Create Discord bot using Ruby. I love this language and I cannot find its practical uses other than Rails or Hanami. Ruby is suitable for Discord bot.

Cool stuff. You can link it right here if you want. Just use the link liquid tag, e.g. {% link link_to_your_post %}
