I started coding back in 2004 with my first C++ course at University. I haven’t stopped since. For work I’m mostly using C#, SQL, HTML, CSS3, and JQuery. For fun I switch back to vanilla JS and try out zany ideas. Like, how far can you push just HTML and CSS for a social media like experience and not require JavaScript (see Lillihub). Right now I’m working on my blog/game hybrid idea. Who knows what I’ll be trying to do next week 🤪

This week ended up being a short week as well so I didn't quite get through my to-do list as I planned. But I still managed to straighten out the application permissions and role creation (which groups common permissions together). I wrote several more unit tests and started mapping …

Vacation week 🥳

General

I had high hopes for a productive vacation. I wanted to repaint my home office and decorate it. I wanted to get journaling done, go on walks, do some shopping, and work on my side projects... Life decided I needed an infected wisdom tooth that I now need to get …

Dev Diary 0003 - Week of October 16th 🗝️ 23 Oct 23 🗝️ #tags-lillihub

This week was all about adjusting the application to handle a special user role. In general the application is your standard multi-tenant application except we have one type of user that needs to operate across tenants but isn’t a super user. They are restricted to a subset of …

Now the MVP is done at work, it is time to show it off. We had a wonderful team lunch and I was able to walk the staff and the director through everything I’ve been building this last year. It was well received and everyone seemed excited for the next set of features I’m …

I came across this blog post as I was working this week. Claire Codes - Dev Diary and it inspired me to try my hand at one. I’ve seen some other people write a weekly note and I think it’s in a similar vein. Just a little more focused on my software development skill set and not life in …

Phase one of my not so super secret project, a Micro.blog web client, is complete! No frameworks; just hand-rolled HTML5/CSS on the front and deno in the back. Now it’s time to add a tiny bit of JS to smooth a couple things out. Then, maybe… beta testing?

29 Aug 23 🐲 #meta-jots: Huh, I guess you can’t have a user confirm a form submission without JavaScript. At least not that I could find. Darn. 🤔

Thanks to @manton for updating the bookmarks JSON api this afternoon to include tags so now you can use @sod’s wonderful bookmark plugin to display them (assuming you have the premium Micro.blog plan). You will need to use a custom template like he details in his documentation. The trick is to use the {{ .tags }} inside the {{ range .items }}. Here’s how I’m doing it on my site: Pastebin.

You might have noticed I further customized it with longer preview text and some extra replace statements. That’s because the .content_html includes some extra links to the micro.blog reader text which looked a bit strange after you stripped out the html with plainify. That’s where the {{replace (replace ( .content_html | plainify | truncate 300 ) "Reader: " "") $url.Host ""}} line comes in.
