I finally managed to finish an article on which I had worked for two weeks, most of that time battling writer's block.

Additionally, I made my first contribution to Forem's repository by initiating a discussion about adding internationalization to dev.to: github.com/forem/forem/discussions....

No, I initiated the discussion using GitHub. However, you can do it by following this guide: developers.forem.com/getting-start....

After having tried to sell our startup's ChatGPT chatbots for 4 months, and failing miserably, things are finally starting to pick up, and we're getting many orders per week now. Not really developer related, but it's refreshing realising somebody out there is actually willing to pay for all the hard work we put into our development :)

I don't know if it'll happen again, there are some seriously talented CSS coders there... But I'll take this win!

Finally implemented resumable downloads in our app, NOMone Desktop. Now even in areas with unreliable internet, users can still download and enjoy desktop Linux on their android phones. I have been putting this off since forever! if Allah wills, we'll be releasing this update after plenty of testing.

Figured out work around for Power BI when using Analyze in Excel. The values field for the pivot table wouldn't allow adding sigma categories from fact tables. I'm used to GCC tenant limitations but this was a software limitation that I absolutely needed to overcome. It came at a cost on the DEV side for me but totally worth it.

I used CSS transitions and animations for the very first time: codepen.io/tbroyer/pen/jOXVjjM (ok, @jh3y made most of the work, this is a fork of his pen, and I applied @bramus' tip to go from "scroll driven animation" (animation is directly linked to scroll position) to "scroll triggered animation" (animation has fixed time-based duration, and is triggered when crossing a scroll threshold).

It's not perfect (the avatar animation restarts if you cross the threshold again while the first animation was still running, ideally it would just reverse from where it was) but it was my very first time with those and I didn't spend that much time doing it, so I'm rather happy with the result!

I'm happy to share that my quest to modernize my web application skills via Seltekit have been going well, and after following Huntabyte's video on youtube have got Sveltekit + Zod + Superforms working, along with drizzle-orm.

After watching (sullenly) as React grew in popularity, I feel that Sveltekit is a breath of fresh air and the alternative that makes a lot more sense to me.

Rich Harris and the others who have contributed to that whole project -- Thank You all.

Had my email address leaked in a group email from a popular development based blogging site (they put all the email addresses in the to field!)

Yay! Does that count as a win? 😔

I'm actually curious how laws work around this stuff? I'm fairly sure in some jurisdictions (maybe not Thailand though) this kind of leak - either through a breach or by accident - is punishable by fines.

Does anyone know anything about this?
