This week I learned about an awesome package called yalc which has helped make testing an npm package I'm writing a bit easier. Essentially what yalc does is creates a local repo for the npm package you're developing and allows you to "install" it in to another project on your machine. This is easier than trying to troubleshoot symlinks, or dealing with
ng packand.tgzfiles. I'll write an article on it here in the next few days.Learned a bit more smart contract development.
One moment of insight was: HTTP-gateway providers (Cloudflare, QuickNode, etc) to access a blockchain from a browser are used when no wallet extension is available in the client.
I had the impression they're always used, which was false.
TIL!
Code that illuminated me:
In that case a local gateway is used, probably either for development purposes, or even a wallet that starts such a gateway server locally, but doesn't directly connect with the browser via an extension (like in the first case).
Last week i planned to build my blog in MERN stack.

I learned about the many database services out there, SQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Cassandra, PostgreSQL etc...and there different use cases. Finally seeing how important it is to design your database structure and the importance of choosing the correct database service.
Nice!

If we merge this, I'll add this to the issue, and socialize this to the contributor community. From a documentation perspective, this seems most relevant because this will be most useful during this stage in the project.
Nice!

Last week I learned how to build a proxy webdav server between client and s3. Now our client can edit document from our web app view directly without download it or mount s3 to local machine drive.
