27/06/2024 A day's recap
Read, found this good blog about building a personal reader, feedi. Code also looks accessible to understand. Got to know few new things just by doing a casual browse through the code
- Using htmx
- Using readability to extract html content so that a web article is available for offline reading
- huey cron scheduling
- Integrating node with the python app to just run js script for readability.
- A simple setup server script which I can refer for my projects as well. I wanted something like this but wasn't able to think of this way
While reading the above blog found references for keep things simple for tech perspective:
Tools, found this for handling UI Unpoly
Code, Using the htmx active search implemented a type ahead search for the book highlights explorer app. Now the search experience is really good. Next steps, try to see which other htmx components can be integrated in this app.
Watch, was watching the T20 semifinal between India and England. Good performance by Indian team. Everyone pitched in with their contributions. Before the final should be replace Dube with Jaiswal or Samson? I really feel we need a change here.
Meandering Thoughts
When you first create an app based on your initial idea some things might not click together. During such times let the app be as it is. Come back after sometime and try it again. I recently observed that when I am exploring other things or reading or just away from the app I get many new ideas which I want to try for the app.
Like I mentioned above using htmx active-search for book highlights explorer. Suppose I didn't even have the app doing this would have been a big task. But now when I had the app I just had to spend minimal time to integrate it and check how it works.
Keep building things whenever you get any idea you may never know when you might discover something that can improve the existing apps.
Unfinished projects are your playground.
