I'm working on a morse code iOS app that can optionally use Force (3D) Touch. My dad had a stroke recently and is quarantined in a care facility. He can't talk but remembers morse code like a boss. He can't lift his finger off the screen to "tap" and there were no other morse apps out there for people with physical impairment. With this he's able to communicate... I've been coding for 15 years but this was life chang…
Made a collaborative "corona stock" spreadsheet[1]. Now feel like a great opportunity to buy some "cheaper" stocks that could make great returns in the future. Also helps to have better perspective of my "limited" vision of the market. [1] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bBsJnUIWg8BbET-h3oKN...
In the first few days of voluntary quarantine, I built a Firefox extension called Exploding Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/exploding-tab... First, you intentionally add a website (e.g. https://facebook.com ) to the list. Once you open that site in a new tab, a countdown begins. Unless you stop the countdown, the tab is closed once the countdown reaches 0. I've been using this extension myself fo…
I’ve been using a lot of online web tools while at work or at home to prettify json, convert unix epoch timestamp or convert ipv4 address to integer, but always surprised that online tools out there are quite slow for what they’re doing because they post what I enter in the form and do the processing on the server side.
So I started writing a react.js single page web app (not single file any more tho) which does all the processing on the client browser without any server interaction (also there’s an exception) so you can see the result in real time as you type with no server round trip involved. Also thanks to the client side processing, you don’t need to worry about data privacy cause it’s all happening in your browser. Included tools are just quite random (pi approximation for example) cause I was adding anything that looks interesting to me at the monent.
Beware that some of the tools are buggy and might not be well supported, but I’ve had so much fun along the way and experienced a lot of client side web tech like react.js, service worker and an awesome tool like zeit.co now which I don’t get to play with that much as a back end dev.
I’m working on a tool that allows developers to record and playback interactive, guided walkthroughs of a codebase, directly from their editor. It’s called CodeTour, and it’s currently available as a VS Code extension: https://aka.ms/codetour . I built it because I frequently find myself looking to onboard (or “reboard”) to a project, and not knowing exactly where to start. After speaking to a bunch of other develope…
