@philipstudentemail7+I have been preparing for my PSAT for months and it’s on Thursday, so I’m doing my final preparations. The Next.JS conference sounds like it was super awesome though!!! This is an old Fait 500 I took a picture of while back.
@ricoet220I use Next.js (or Nuxt at work 😛) as my go-to solution for most websites I make. I’m so excited for this conf to explore even more ways to use it :)
@nguyenadam50I’m excited for the next.js conference! It’s always fun learning about new tools and seeing what new projects I can think about.
@christina6951Starting my first JavaScript project, using HTML, css and script.js files
@itsmingjie1I think this is ship-worthy!!! This is the biggest overkill in the history of overkill: I built a full-fledged platform for Jeopardy-style virtual puzzle hunts (can also be used for CTFs) in 4 months, and I finished today! It's built on top of Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, caches information locally, and pulls competition puzzles from Airtable for easy modifications. It also comes with a companion standalone announcement/alert system for real-time communication with your competition attendees.
First run of it will be in a few weeks at a <https://integirls.org/puzzle|puzzle hunt> run for middle/high school female/nb students (you should signup if you are eligible!) Still figuring out how to deploy everything across multiple servers so students from around the world would have no trouble using the platform, but that won't take long!
Code is very rushed, but it's completely open-source github.com/itsmingjie/infinity.
@sampoder7+i devised a scavenger hunt for the entire school to participate! then the student council ran it :))) we even had a real treasure chest (thanks Sai and co for making it), and filled it with candy as an end goal!
we had a whole qr code system to get hints which i built with next.js and stuff, i also made a safety plan to allow this madness to get approved by the school which i am quite proud that it happened :yay:
oh it was also Think Pink day, the school was very very pink
@sampoder7+as couch camp drew to a close, and our scoring manager fell to sleep way too early.... we found ourselves with scores scattered across 22 separate JSON files.... oh dear making the closing slides would be a pain
but i did not want for the not so techy people to go through any pain... so i stayed up very late last night and built certs.couch.camp/results that went through and linked together all the JSON files to output the critical results needed. it ended up saving hours for my friends today and i'm very happy about that. i'm quite proud of the hacky js stuff i wrote whilst half-ish asleep lol
and then today i built on top of that system to make certificate websites for each scholar... it involved even more linking of JSON files, using square numbers to make it challenging for scholars to find others urls and a whole load of JS to make the award names. all together it looks like certs.couch.camp/71407A, people have to screenshot to save it which i guess is alright
its all a big hack, here's the source code for: github.com/sampoder/couch-camp-certs im so proud of this massive hack
i continue to fall in love with Next.js
@christina6951Reviewed w a friend some JavaScript concepts like if/else and variables and operators--which was great. Going to finish @fayd workshop tmrw and start my own first project soon,
@arek1231130Today was working on the client side of my app
@googol0Today I migrated my personal website to googol.now.sh with Vercel! :vercel:
I should probably rebuild it with next.js someday…
@christina6951writing functions to build my clock; linking CSS to my JavaScript file
@arek1231130Wanna try out as many javascript frameworks as I can, so I could compare them to each other and choose one I like the most. Today tried out next.js!
@matthewvandyke087+Today the SWC Editor released today on Students Who Code, it is an HTML/CSS/JS editor that allows users to code right on the website if they choose.
Also most of the courses were updated with new information and clearer instructions.
@aaryan1Day 2/30: Javascript Objects - they are fairly similar to other languages (I guess). But um there's a lot of stuff in js. My uni exams are starting from the 5th of october, Idk if I should pause my js journey till my exams get over or not :thonk:
@christina6951Thanks JavaScript! I successfully used Ternary Operators, if/else, to tell myself to vote for Joe Biden
@sampoder7+Built something that I'm really proud of, part of me learning Next.js and being insanely bored in class (common topic in parent teachers, Sam looks very bored and needs to stop "multitasking").
Introducing state-of-democracy.vercel.app!
Displays the date from the Economist Intelligence Unit's democracy index in a nicer more human way, i hope you enjoy :D each country has their own page as well, plus there are categories
It's on GitHub at: github.com/sampoder/democracy :D
@aaryan1So today I start my JS journey, I hope I can stick through the whole month, I'd post something everyday about it. (1/30)
Learning about functions
@hkatzdev7+Something I thought was cool for a website I visit. Grant made a recursive object called magic and logged it to console. There is no reason for it besides showing off and looking cool :p. (This dev also made a mini pen test problem you can solve on the site for an achievement, which is awesome, manually approves every single javascript file people upload, has a seperate service for free unlimited hosting, url shortening, etc. They are just awesome in general and maintain this all for free)
@christina6951practiced rewriting a JavaScript tutorial on building a tip calculator
@christina6951I spent an hour thinking about coding after Lachlan explained to me how he used JavaScript's truthy/falsy to build different features at Hack Club Bank. Something clicked, and I finally understood what a programmer does and how cool and limitless the world becomes when you know how to build w code.
@neervikasv0Had tons of fun learning javascript with @sampoder , I made a piano!!! It was super cool!
@christina6951Did a tutorial on truthy and falsy and found it confusing.
