👋 Hi there! I post about

✅ making progress (and bugs 🐛) with my projects, like my app for animal shelters petprofiletailor.vercel.app

✅ 100daysofcode (ex: anki flashcards & chatting about my addiction to codewars coding problems 🤓)

And most importantly, I have a cute cat named ember 😉

💪 2 chinups (2 reps of 1 chinup, back to the rookie numbers, the curse of slacking off for months)

💪 1.43 miles on treadmill

🟢 moved most of the info to an individual doc for each person, so its much less busy

🟢 moved the one's I'm unlikely to be able to make friends with to a separate tab (barely on Linkedin, didn't respond to an email and/or have no socials)

🍀 1911 names for HomewardTails! 🎉

🍀 The bug for the newest names was what I thought, the _id:1 was overwriting the _id:-1 from the sort logic. easy fix

🍀 Think i might of made a breakthrough with my networking! When I really sat down and thought, I realized my sheet was stressing me out

You'll have to get a giant dalmatian plush with 70 pound weights in it just to cope 😜

And drop it for the fond memories of being woken up at various hours of the day. Stay strong ;)

Glorious 😂! Only thing its missing is some pizza stickers on the laptop to fit your vibes 100%

Man, talk about a flashback!

So I told it also sort by _id too, so the sorting order is the same now
🔮 noticed sort by newest isn't working now, lol so i'll have to debug that later

🍀added more names
🍀walked 2.10 miles on the treadmill
🍀fixed a bug, i noticed a few items were weirdly getting duplicated. Turns out with when items are sorted and they have the same property (likedCount=0), the sorting order can change from page to page.

a cute pair of names i stumbled across, abra and cadabara

Occasionally it becomes his middle name- Dammit Boo. On formal occasions, he is Boobert."

Sweet! Got a bonus on my pokemons halloween snack. Look how cute it is ~

Happy Halloween! 🎃

(This is pokemon sleep, its a free sleep/gacha game where you level them up with food. I can't afford a real pokemon game 😂)

You see snorlax and other pokemon eating

You have been visited by the halloween cat butt!

May you have a boo~ty~ful Halloween (ha! Double pun!) 👻

Also yes I fear this cryptid image has been recorded from a potato, please forgive me for the rough shot 😂

🍀 UX improvement! The "check if the name exists" button is now tied to the name input, so users don't have to tediously write it out twice

🍀 mobile improvement, just needed to add flex-wrap to have it play nice

🧘‍♂️ 7 days of meditation!

One of my favorite features in DevLeads is the native Business Finder. It allows you to specify a location (city, state or zip), the type of industry to target, and the number of businesses to find. Here's a recording from our demo app that you can try @ devleads.site . #100Devs #webdev #swe

Its funny my brain was stuck on either using

1. dev logs,
2. vercel log
3. postman

for whatever reason I didn't think to just call the route 🤦‍♀️ silly brain

But, thats how I finally got the useful clue to fix the "add a name" page bug. (import the models for populate)

code says schema hasn't been registered for model "NameTag" /nuse mongoose.model(name,schema)

🍀 Added a fetch "name" page, so users can look up a specific name!

🍀 Improved add names page. When they check if a name exists, they'll have the option to directly see it on the add names page now, instead of being sent to it's individual page

Lindz McLeod - THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET is out now! @lindzmcleod.bsky.social · 9d

Dane has a favourite TV show, has worked out how to completely unplug the Playstation (and the controllers) AND eject a disc from it.

Fitzwilliam doesn't even know we *have* a TV.

You don't have to ask which one is which, do you?

A brown, striped Savannah cat with large ears and yellow eyes stares at the camera with a suspicious expression. Beside him, a small white British Shorthair with blue eyes, massive pupils, and a pink nose stares at the camera with a look of bewilderment.
