@dynamo on Oli - music library

4h 43m 36s logged

getting started on project - Oli

a music library app to discover songs, albums and artists. this project is something very new to me as im learning react and getting used to it by building project.

progress

i learnt the react basics (creating components, hooks and useState() ). with this knowledge i managed to create a basic functional site where i could fetch data from itunes api (only songs for now later i will add options to switch between artists and albums) and show it. this project might take more time than i imagine since im learning react side by side.

next up

  • fully well designed ui for the home page
  • songs, artists and albums option in the search bar
  • song previews and links
  • recommendations, exploring and discovery

@dynamo on quill

quill

a minimal blog engine that allows posting your blogs through markdown files. it uses static site generator build with javascript to show the markdown file contents as a html site. has features like tags, search support, syntax highlighting and more. the most challenging part in the entire build was definitely the static site generator part which took a lot of time and understanding to make it. this project was primarily built to work in hand with obsidian where you can make use of commands like rsync to sync your posts from obsidian directly to the posts folder in the project.

@dynamo on custom new tab

a cool lookin new tab page to ditch the default unaesthetic page. this is a functional and responsive new tab page that provides modern aesthetics and limited customizability. has multiple search engines available (google, duckduckgo, brave, startpage). also features a news section where news are classified into categories (all, tech, science, business, sports and entertainment). the background images are updated from nasa’s apod (astrology picture of the day). your preferences and settings are stored in local storage so you dont have to customize themes and accents everytime you open the tab. challenging part in this entire project has to be working with the APIs had some difficulty since the website is hosted in github pages with no real backend server of any sorts.

minor fixes and shortcuts

had problems to fetch news since i used github pages to host my site and no backend server of any sort. so i had to use a proxy api to get it work properly. further added keyboard shortcuts such as ‘/’ and ‘cmd or ctrl + k’ to focus on the search bar and escape to come out of focus. i think this project is done for now.

things to improve later

  • custom favorites
  • region specific news
  • weather forecast

themes, accents and news section

did a quite a long work session made so much progress and the project is nearly done. made the dark and light theme options. made use of css variables for that. added a few choosable accent colors. used gnews api to fetch news and classify them into a few categories and display them in cards. site is also furnished to be responsive and usable in pretty much any device. further drafted a readme.md file. i also added a tiny animated down arrow thing that is visible at the bottom of the site to show that scrolling will get you to the news section.

dropdown search engine selector

worked on the dropdown search engine selector and it turned out to be working well. this was the most challenges part to setup. after that i was fooling around with the css styling for the background and made like a spotlight like style for the search bar when clicked (i tried doing overlays and stuff but it seemed too complex for me). further i added an info button which on click takes you to the nasa apod info site.

next up

  • news part
  • settings panel (with theme selections and more)

apod background works

did a quick work session and got done with the apod background using nasa’s api. i also got to know that at times the apod might be videos (that is not only images) so i made a default background file that would be shown if the api is not able to fetch image, if the apod is a video or any other problems occur.

next up

  • dropdown menu for search engines
  • news section (might make a customizable one where you can chose what sources to follow)

getting started

i started with a new project. got the basic ui built with html and css. currently the search bar works (can only google) but then im looking forward to add other search engine options to it like a dropdown menu. the live time (24 hour clock) and the date part works are done and they work properly too.

@dynamo on My own site!

hi! i’ve been interested in web development for quite some time and have explored different programming languages along the way. one thing i always wanted to build was a personal website where i could introduce myself, share my interests, and showcase the projects i’ve worked on. so, i decided to use my knowledge of html and css to create this website from scratch.

the biggest challenge i faced was to design the layout as i thought of. aligning the divs and the elements were slightly annoying as sometimes they dont work as i intended it to. so i had to take help and search about how that part of the styling works from the internet to correct the issues. now im very proud to have myself a website that i have built by my own.

few things i wanna improve is that, i want to make the website more responsive and accessible from many other devices like mobile phones and tabs. this experience was very fun and engaging!
