My first article on freeCodeCamp got published! ๐ฅฐ
It's one of my big wins because freeCodeCamp helped me a lot at the beginning of my webdev learning journey. So it feels good to give back to the community. โจ๏ธ
Way to go! ๐ฅณ
Thank you, @dumebii! ๐
Whoop whoop! Congratulations!
Thanks, Barry! ๐
Amazing, freeCodeCamp helped me too
Can you share on how to publish your first article on freecodecamp?
First, I had to apply to become a writer at freeCodeCamp. After got accepted, then I wrote the draft of the article. Then they reviewed and published the article.
Wooohoo! That is seriously awesome, Ayu. Major congrats! ๐
Thank you, Michael! ๐
Wrote about and made some code contributions to Postmarks, social bookmarks for the Fediverse! And then, we went camping ๐ฟ ๐๏ธ
Social bookmarks in the Fediverse

Loving the setup! Hope ya enjoy the great outdoors, Andy. ๐๐
Also, excellent #fediverse post โ love the idea of postmarks and being able to share bookmarks. ๐
This reminds me that I previously relayed a feature request for adding a similar mechanic to DEV in this GitHub discussion called Allow folks to share reading lists. I think I may have to go back to this one and advocate for it. ๐
It would offer a brand new way for folks to be able to interact with content... build a link list of posts you like and share it. Plus, it would jive well with our current reading list. It's a win-win... the person building the list can organize their reads and hopefully get some cred for sharing a cool list + the authors of the posts in the list get to have their posts shared in a collection and seen by more folks.
Nice!
Yay it's weekly wins time ๐โจ!

Congratulations!! ๐ฅณ
Thank you ๐
Took most of the week off!
Ooooo nice! I just got back from some time off recently too. Had last Friday + Monday and Tuesday off... I went to the Outer Banks (the beach) and it was so refreshing! ๐
Did you find any treasures there? ;)
Haha!! Not this time around. Saw a lotta metal detectors out there sweeping the coastline though. ๐
I guess you better go back again then ;)
I finally am getting attention on a side project I have been working on for years! I haven't been very good about promoting it, granted, but it's still good to start seeing other people using it.
The project looks interesting, I hope to play around with it soon!
Oh that's awesome to hear, Michael!
modulo.js sounds really cool btw, glad it's getting some well-deserved attention. ๐
I've got another brilliant idea for a project and made a poster.
I've also launched a waitlist for the project so anyone interested can join!
Waitlist
I finished a whole 6-week program and even though I didn't complete the project, I submitted the weekly updates made it all the way to demo day (which is tomorrow Sept 16).
Also, I'm not totally sick after all that odyssey!
definitely speaking at the AWS Community Day in Munich!!! speaking at a conference was one of my early goals โ
and even beside being a speaker, just being there and getting to know great people was a win for itself!
Bashed together a shell script (see what I did there? ๐) to automate some of the manual processes that were tripping up the juniors when starting a new project. Itโs not done yet (still have a few more actions to integrate), but as a 1.0, it totally works.
I received a swag from Offerzen
Ah yes! You too are collecting OfferZen T-shirts ;) My wife is starting to get sick of seeing only OfferZen shirts in my cupboards, but I proceed to wear all the swag anyway!
Yah l like those tshrts!
My win this week. Hmmmm

2) Although it came in late, but I found that I made it to Dormoshie's Javascript Trends blog for an article I wrote a while ago. This is the second time this article is getting featured and it feels surreal tbh
