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.

It was very good and it had meat (chicken) on it for a change 😊

Michael Tharrington • Feb 16

Awww, thanks a bunch. We are indeed listening! And by the way, thank you, Anita, for sharing your honest thoughts with us. It's super helpful!

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.

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 :)

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.
