Weeknotes: July 29, 2023

What I’ve been working on

• Researching Electric Vehicles and Bikes
• The Hub: A quick site I wrote that takes a JSON file as input and presents the data as bookmarks. It’s a nice way to capture sites and bookmarks and share them with others
  • Here’s my primary version and the supporting JSON
• Barter, a trading system; blog post and code.
• I’ve been doing a lot of small frontend projects to improve my skills, including working on https://about.kap.gg at work.

Things I’m reading and thinking about

• The State of Web3 Game Developer Tooling
• Heatmap News
• Farewell Jamstack
• Thinking about tech debt
• This SVG tutorial
• Reading about how koding kitty builds
• Browsing through https://thesephist.com/ and their projects
  • Their stream is super cool. As they write on the about page, “You can think of this website like a less noisy, mini Twitter feed I’ve created just for myself and my updates on my work and thinking. It’s a micro-blog in the truest sense of the word.” Source code here.
• The Pocketbase live demo. I love how different products approach live demos. In this one, they show a banner with the username and password, and you can log into the instance. At a regular interval, they reset the instance.
