🧪 dropping out of Yale to code tools for scientists
🍎 teaching court-involved youth
🏛️ building a Discord server with 60,000 people
❌ How X-Men inspired him

Hey #100Devs friends, great news! The library LOVED my grave search app. So today let's add authentication and update functionality so visitors can correct errors in grave records! Join us today (03/31) at 3pm ET (but please spend Easter with family! 🌷🌷) https://t.co/VmgkIRrY78

Day #24 of #30NitesOfCode had me messing around with the new Discord User-Installable Apps & Embedded App SDK!

Chucking all my discord-related scripts into a single app, and experimenting to see what is possible using the SDK!

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #23 of #30NitesOfCode had me finishing up my bulk media alternative text/title generator - which mainly involved adding the ability to upload entire directories and have it automagically parse media from found HTML files, even updating it accordingly with the new values! 🪄

Hey #100Devs friends! Let's help a library with their genealogy program by building an app to search cemetery records by name and date. We'll use a SQL database with @supabase to connect citizens with their history! Join us today 03/24 at 3pm ET on Twitch! https://t.co/VmgkIRrY78

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #20 of #30NitesOfCode had me throwing together a quick web app to make writing alternative and/or title text for bulk images/videos a breeze!

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #17 of #30NitesOfCode was a day of debugging!

From VSCode not responding to a subset of keyboard shortcuts, package updating yet breaking things due to ignoring semantic versioning, to AWS logs coming through while testing, and correcting some bad permissions for test users!

Day #16 of #30NitesOfCode had me adding the ability to switch a created page from Epic to Task and vice-versa in TaskNexus - simple until the rules around relations rounded their complex heads, thankfully some good unit tests made it a breeze to ensure all cases were covered!

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #15 of #30NitesOfCode had me building an application to bidirectionally sync GitHub & Dropbox!

Took a bit to flesh out both the handling of webhooks & data syncing in both directions, but aside from the rare failure - which goes away with a retry - it's working pretty well!

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #14 of #30NitesOfCode had me rapidly throwing together a small editor for generating generalized - yet accessible - overlays.

Plain JavaScript would have sufficed for all I wanted from it - but the scope crept up on me so quickly that I can already see a rewrite ahead!😅

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #13 of #30NitesOfCode had me making those course slide conversion scripts even better - replicating the original layout nearly perfectly - after some more tweaking to make them actually navigable as slides, I'll see how it works against the full directory of slides!

'Technically Speaking' talks Infrastructure as Code! Our teammate Hunter explains why managing and provisioning infrastructure using code, rather than manual processes, can prove beneficial to your project and your teams. Check it out! https://t.co/3NAN9CR7fU

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #11 of #30NitesOfCode had me making TaskNexus much easier to use by converting many of the operations to behave optimistically, allowing users to perform multiple persisted actions in quick succession with barely a delay!

[Rascal Two @RealRascalTwo]

Day #10 of #30NitesOfCode had me throw together a Notion template for TaskNexus - got tired of adjusting each pair of database pages from scratch!

Now I just rename the new pages, jot down their IDs, shove all three into TaskNexus, and I'm off to the races!
