So… its been a minute!

I’ve been out of state doing an engineering program at ND for the past few weeks, and I am FINALLY back home!

So, here’s what I got done today!

I finished the layout (for now) on for the planning page. For now, you put in the departure/arrival, number of people, dates, and overall budgets.

The worst part of getting it to work was the date picker. I spent like 2 hours researching different date-range pickers and trying them out, such as react aria, react-date-range, and more.

Eventually, I settled on cally since its lightweight, easy to customize, and didn’t require me to spend 3 hours making it work!

I also created a new input type to shrink the file size down.

For the future, I plan to get data to actually save in the app, and then start looking for a flights API.

The API is going to be an issue. There is really not a lot of choices for a free and large-scale API for what I want. But, its the internet. Theres gotta be something!

the website thats published isn’t updated yet, since I have some code that needs to be implemented before I can redeploy.

I started to get some work done on the planning settings! Mainly, I need to track budgets, dates, and what the user actually wants to do and spend money on. The main issue I am currently having is making the date system work. I am going to do more research, though!

The home page is completely done! I spent around an hour adding in all of the other info, mainly about how the program works. I also spent a decent amount of time redoing the file structure of the website, just so everything is more organized.

Now, I have to find the APIs I need. Google Flights doesn’t have one, so I am going to need to do some deep research.

Been on vacation so progress been slow but here’s what I got done!

Mainly, the search bar is done! I haven’t been able to program my custom algorithm yet, so right now it just links to google maps. I tried to mimic websites like Kayak and Google Earth, and I think its pretty decent.

The main issue I had was with the website crashing when clicking the search bar. ThreeJS couldnt handle the pointer event (it doesnt really make sense), but with changing the z-order and adding a LOT of e.stoppropagation() fixed it.

Overall, good progress, and next post I want to get the home page done!

Two major things for today: I fixed responsiveness, so it looks better on small screens. Also, I started work on the search bar. I have to style it, but its coming along well!

shoutout to my friends @ fallout, wish i was allowed to come with! enjoy!

Card system works! When you click on a point (I added more), with around 3 per continent except Australia, a popup with basic info, a photo, and a button shows up. The button will eventually go to the itinerary algorithim, but for now just links to google maps.

I have to make it responsive, but tomorrow I will (hopefully) finish the base page.

check it out here!

Itinerarey (get it?) is going to be a website where you can put in a plan for a trip and get a full detailed list of what you can do, taking into consideration price, dates, and suggested ideas.

I got this idea while waiting at EWR for 3 hours before my flight got cancelled, lol. I was supposed to go to Atlanta, and I would have had a free day by myself. If I had this, I could have figured out what to do.

The plan is to take data from APIs to get flights, hotels, and other stuff, and combine it with AI to get a full list of what to do!

But, so far, all I got done is the start of the hero page. I want to have a globe spinning in the BG with points that can pop up some ideas, which I got done using globe.gl.

The points are not coded in yet to pop up, but that’ll be later.

Readme! I sort of forgot about doing the readme… my bad? So, I followed the guide in stardance resources, and I think it is pretty good!

did some small edits to the portfolio website, mainly fixing some styling issues on small screens!

The website is done (for now)! I got the contact section done, and I think I am at a good point to not work on it for a bit. I might do more once school ends, but I am happy with the result.

Project layout for the website is done! For this section, I am taking inspiration from the projects for the styling. I only was able to work on the first one, and put all of the text needed in the app, so tomorrow is going to be implementing it.

Check it out here (not fully done though): https://np3-0.github.io/Portfolio/

Base layout for the project section is done! I used a horizontal gallery template from motion, then heavily tweaked it. Right now, the plan is to have each of them open a second page, where it can go in-depth into the project.

also you can check out the website here: https://np3-0.github.io/Portfolio/

added the about section to my portfolio! gotta make it more responsive, but that’s for later. I got some really good ideas for my projects, but you’ll just have to wait and see!
