But if you want more, you can use note-folding, a whole bunch of text manipulation changes and best of all, it's automatically written to disk (no saving needed ever) in a real text file, so syncing and backup is really simple.

#116(i.e., "iz u ded?")
I made this because I adopted a puppy and realized that, if I got hit by a bus on a Friday, he could be stuck in his crate for days before anyone realized. Morbid, but useful.
It texts you every X days and asks, "u ded?" -- if you don't click "naw" before X days pass, it'll notify your contacts.
It's a portfolio project to show what I've learned in the realm of "serverless" architecture. Details about its construction here: https://medium.com/@marclar/iz-u-ded-713594fd80e9

#117I'm most proud of React Flip Move ( https://github.com/joshwcomeau/react-flip-move ), an animation library that does exactly one thing: animate transitions when DOM nodes change positions (eg. list re-ordering). I wind up using it in almost every project I work on, since just about every app has a list of some kind, and many lists need to support being sorted, having items added, etc. It's a simple tool, but the inte…
Is that a purely JS thing ? Surely such things would be best done by CSS? I am speaking as a person with 0 experience apping production level web apps.
When an item's DOM position changes, there's no CSS change to animate. You can throw a `transition: 1s` on it, and nothing'll happen. This is the distinction between moving an item around on-screen, and removing/appending a DOM node from one position in the tree to another.
For Flip Move: I actually do use CSS transitions to accomplish it, but through trickery known as the FLIP technique. You can read all the nitty-gritty details, if it interests you, in a blog post I wrote: https://medium.com/developers-writing/animating-the-unanimat...

#119http://hellojarvis.io/ is a Messenger bot that reminds you to do stuff. You can phrase time in many ways, which was quite tricky to do: "in 3 hours", "on the 25th", "tomorrow night", "next wednesday" all work. We currently have almost 25k users and I'm proud of the fact that people really do find it useful. A friend recently mentioned to me that he used Jarvis to remind him about his dentist appointment.
