@BrokenHelmetDan Saw a few other users saying it's a known issue and Spotify are supposedly going to issue a fix...here's hoping! This is tedious already haha

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Hey fellow coders!

Here's my #JavaScriptmas solution for today @scrimba

Annoyed that I didn't have time to finish them all, but there you go. Life.

Merry #JavaScriptmas, here's my solution for Day 20...I made a super basic entry, not much to see here. I've been down with a sort of flu type thing since Tuesday this week, knocked me for six...I knew I felt ill when I couldn't even think about coding. Anyway, easing myself back in.

I never thought I'd be an advocate for Ultrawide, but now I can't live without it, it gives me a real feeling of freedom. With regards to separating things mentally/visually, I find a good window management tool does the trick, at least for me. I use Lasso on macOS and FancyZones on Windows.

That said, for work now I also use a 24" 1920 x 1200 montor in a vertical orientation to one side...super useful for having long pages of documentation open, and everything else like Spotify, Discord, Twitter and other stuff goes over on that display as well.

So yeah...make of that what you will 🤷🏽‍♂️

Merry #JavaScriptmas day 16. Naughty Kalvin, naughty. Curious what he plans to do with those drones, tho!

Today's fix...not spending much time on this as I want to go back and re-write the generators challenge :) →

Travelling to Munich today (work only) so hopefully will get some time to work on that later.

Happy coding!

Merry #JavaSriptmas Day 15. Nothing special here just the basics, added a teeny bit of responsiveness so it still looks decent at larger view-widths

How is everyone getting on with the challenges? I've spent way too long on some of them (although admittedly this is usually trying to add extra features/stretch goals.

Actually, it's taken so much time the rest of my studying has taken a back seat, so I'm going to try and just do the bare minimum from now on.

Merry #JavaScriptmas Day 14! They say you learn something new every day, and today I learned about JavaScript generators.

Not my favorite code but it got the job done.

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Wohoo!

Merry #JavaScriptmas Day 12, I seem to be running one day behind at the moment 🤣

Spent so long on task 5, kinda wish I looked at the hints file now as I seem to of done it in a completely different way than suggested. Did you tackle no. 5? How?

Here's my solution →

@disc0night @scrimba Love your UI layer on this!

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Merry #JavaScriptmas, here's my Day 11 solution. Barebones but I'm happy with the code.

https://t.co/fF1kAMF4RS

Thank you @scrimba

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

JavaScriptmas Day 10, css flag...happy with the result, admittedly I did take a little creative liberty and deviate from the design with the eyes, because not gonna lie, Santa's expression was creeping me out 🙃 thanks for another fun challenge @scrimba

Here it is → https://t.co/CrMSipF6Zk

No stretch goals today, this was painful enough. CSS is not very optimised etiher, not my proudest moment, but no timeee.

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Merry #JavaScriptmas day 9, short 'n' sweet.

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Merry #JavaScriptmas everyone...here's my solution to day 8...still a couple days behind, but have some days off soon where I play to catch up! Thanks for the challenges @scrimba

Take a peek, code feedback welcome → https://t.co/iRBFn7Xnz4

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

@NotMichaella Barely 🤣

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Merry #JavaScriptmas, here's a late Day 6...now I have to go and do day 5, then today's—the last few days have been too busy to get the challenges done, but still wanted to have a crack at them anyway.

Anyway here it is → https://t.co/Oq0WT2uyOU

Enjoy!

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Another late 'submission' for Day 5 #JavaScriptmas '24...short and sweet solution making use of .reduce() — yes I know reduce isn't very 'readable' but I'm into it a the moment, so deal with it 😎

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

@BuckyBuck135 Haha, love it 🤣 just saw this

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Merry #JavaScriptmas peeps. Day 3 solution...Sandy Claws is hacking our emotions...

https://t.co/eMb2WArWgK

Sorry @BuckyBuck135, I shamelessly stole your toast notification code from Day 1 🥷🏽

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Greetings!
Happy Day 4 and Mery #JavaScriptmas, here's my solutin for today. No time for stretch goals sadly.

https://t.co/odIVRbbbQR

Good night, all!

[Jimmy Newman @jpxfrd99]

Ok...follow up to #JavaScriptmas Day 3 — after someone pointed out that my scrim was breakable by having two adjacent emojis or shortcodes withotu spaces, I had a serious chat with ChatGPT on the subject of regex's...eventually we came up with something that matches words, short codes separated by spaces, short codes with no spaces, and also emoji's with/without spaces → https://t.co/ZBe4RlqLfo see if you can break it!
