I started my Youtube channel, made a few posts on Dev.to and lost another pound of weight. I'm getting closer and closer to my goal weight and healthier life.

Hi Gwyneth, I just found your Happy Friday and eh I say that to peeps hoping that I haven't bummed them out as they might have to work the weekend. ;o)
I subbed your youtube channel and wanted to say if you include lots of search terms and hashtags like #condenewbie #womenwhocode #100daysofcode etc that will help you with the searches and though I like your header image I think you could do better (what guitar is that on the wall, looks nice but it's hard to tell with so many makes these days), not being critical just a few thoughts. Have fun!

[Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza]

Thank you for the feedback!

[Sarah 🦄]

Congrats, on a journey to get healthier myself, well done!! 👊

[Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza]

It's a daily struggle for sure, but well worth it. In it together!

[Binyamin Green]

Congrats! What's your channel about?

[Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza]

Thank you! Right now I'm focusing on Azure content. youtube.com/channel/UCbjgKwnWnGG7s...

[Mouad Cherkaoui]

awesome, just started the azure durable functions topic :) thanks

[Waylon Walker]

Share your channel name with us, we want to see 👀!

[Gwyneth Peña-Siguenza]

I don't have a name yet, I think you need 100 subscribers in order to get a custom name and URL, but here is the link youtube.com/channel/UCbjgKwnWnGG7s... thanks for possibly watching :)

[Waylon Walker]

Got you one step closer to that 100 mark. Looks like you have some great content there, I will definitely check it out later.

subbed!

1. My project Emoji Button passed 400 stars on GitHub!
2. I made more progress on my book! Hopefully there are folks out there that will find it useful.

[Tyler V. (he/him)]

👀 The emoji picker is awesome!

[Joe Attardi]

thanks!

Nice! 😺👍

This week I finally put an application using Elastic search in production! I've worked with it on another project but was never able to actually put it into production. I now have it running and it works really well. That's the second new technology I've put into production this year. Even after 4 years I'm still learning new things every day!

I found a apartment to share near the college, so I'm planning to move again. I also have a chance to participate in a project of developing a software for the college (I'll have to wait for the the interview). I'm pretty excited with that.

[Heiker]

I wrote about partial application in javascript. In english and spanish.

Also, I did a refactor on a messy codepen, now is good.

[Ami Scott (they/them)]

• I wrote my first dev.to post for #TheyCoded.
• I applied for three more developer jobs!
• I cleaned and organized my work area so it was easier to sit down and focus on getting my work done.
• I reached out to people I worked on group projects with and asked if they'd be interested in working on them more with me which was hard because I've got a lot of social anxiety. They agreed and we're going to clean up our project and make some improvements!

[Phantz]

I finally made a github repo that reached 1k stars! Super happy for it!

[Binyamin Green]

Well done! I have about 5 stars. Total. Any tips?

[Phantz]

I wish I knew a secret formula, but I think good promotion helps.

• Make sure to have pictures/GIFs near top of your README demonstrating your project.
• Let relevant subreddits know of your project, check out the subreddits I used for my repo on the repo page!
• Post on producthunt, a large influx of traffic actually came from producthunt for me as my post got #4 product of the day.

[Lenmor Ld]

I conducted a React Workshop (that I've been preparing for months) to university students and it went great!

I'll make a post about it at some point but here's the link for now if anyone is interested:

This week I felt like I was stuck in a rut with my writing, I couldn't think of any good or "fun" topics to write about and I didn't think my post on styled-components would do very well (because I'm sure lots of other people have written about it already) but it didn't do too badly so that's my win for the week!

[Weston Wedding]

• I ate bao for the first time and have a new lunch destination
• I got my RPG night group to change venue from a crowded gaming store for a few weeks (social distancing) with zero push back.
• I preordered Animal Crossing :)
