Hey Pinkies! 💖 What are you building today? 🛠️ Got something awesome to show off? 👀 Let’s see it!

Back
I built a learning platform so you can learn lots of things through exams and flash cards and gamification.
I’m embarrassed to show it off because I feel like the design sucks though lol.

Wow. Cool idea. I just registered to give it a whirl. I'm not much of a front-end guy myself, but I did have trouble validating my email address when I wasn't logged in. Signed up on my laptop, tried to verify from my phone.
I do like the way you laid out the results:
•
I have the same "validate email" issue since it's tied to cookies.... I need to think of a more robust way to do that.
I gotta jump onto my next task but I've added this to my OmniFocus to try. Looks slick @FinalAsgard
Yeah, I really don’t like got the email validation is implemented… I may just turn that off for now.
Thanks for trying it out! I’m not a UI front end guy either…. That’s why the site doesn’t look great lol. I need flux ui

++ to waiting for Flux.... :) Monday! (next week's gonna be busy)
I love the public exams! Super cool. The potential is crazy here!
One UX thing I noticed: I went to take my exam but my question wasn't there... it didn't save. In other tools like Google Forms I'm used to the "add question" being "add _another_ question besides this one", where it seems that your app the "add question" is a "save". There was also no warning when I left the page that I'd lose the question that I created. I'd think that the button should say "save".
I love how this community builds cool apps like this!

Updated. Thank you for the recommendation! I'm still trying to learn better UX and UI. :D
Still working on Audio Brevity (You can check out the latest Syntax episode with Taylor Otwell: audiobrevity.com/share/DjhMg7jqVA or snag the 2 hour DHH episode with ThePrimeagen audiobrevity.com/share/e2Y37cVyMJ )
I'm also trying to figure out what to do with my open source project that's aged out... do I just archive it or do I try and help people get on CSS grid. (lostgrid.org). Ideas welcome! 💡 (I'm still getting 70k+ downloads a month and I want those users to move to CSS Grid)
...and at the jobbyjob I'm working on sussing out the tech debt in an old Laravel app and building a python package for a client . I'm learning about Function Core, Imperative Shell. www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/functional-core-imperative-shell => it's been really helpful working with LLMs.
Busy Friday

Peter, I'm really looking forward to see where this one goes (Audio Brevity).
Are you currently using Lost Grid in any of your active projects?
Good luck today!
•
RE: Audio Brevity => Me too... as I'm getting the vector search and the LLM to actually be able to respond to questions like "how did Bill Gates start Microsoft" and it pull from hundreds of podcasts.... it's gonna get fun.
RE: LostGrid => Nada, other than test projects to keep things alive... CSS Grid + Flexbox completely wins over LostGrid. It's great if you need IE9 support, though...
@make_dev didn't we discuss this on your last stream? @microsoft this looks cool btw!
•
let me know whenever you need a hand mate you have my full support 😂
Not ready to showcase yet, but today and this weekend I'll work on a new app built with @nativephp
•
It's a small tool designed to be cross desktop and extendible, useful for my day to day developer life (not only that)
Working on a simple CLI tool to prettify viewing git logs in the terminal. Heavily inspired by the talk @joetannenbaum gave at laracon!
