Noded is a project I started at HackKU last year. It's a rich-data notes app designed to help people create information trees. I've been slowly improving it since.
File Box
In addition to the basic file uploader, you can now add "File Boxes" to your notes, which support nested structures and managing individual files.
Files in File Boxes appear in the universal search, and will open to their nested location directly.
Universal Search
Nodes that support full-screen mode now open directly from the search interface. This means that the open page is unchanged.
WYSIWYG
In-line links and images now render properly in view-only mode.
Databases
Added the "Hyperlink" column type for external links.
Added the "Link to Page" column type for referencing other notes.
Users can now drag-and-drop to re-order subtrees in the sidebar.
This letter is released in the public domain. Please, adapt it, share it with others, and most importantly, send it to your representatives. Call them, e-mail them, snail mail them to tell them to support free and fair elections.
I wanted a simple way to queue jobs to be run in the background without having to run a separate daemon.
MiniQ is what I came up with. With just 3 files, MiniQ provides the ability to log jobs
and the CRON script will run periodically and execute the queued jobs in the background.
Converting an Ionic/Angular Site into a Progressive Web App
For the last year or so, I've been working on converting an Ionic app to a progressive
web app with offline support called Noded. I decided to
write up my findings on how to do this with Angular service-worker.
I'm trying to write down or save all the technical tricks, notes,
and fixes I find. That way, it's easier for me to find them again
in the future, and maybe they can be of use to others.
With the current need to work from home, I've put together a list of tricks and tools I use to do my work as a software developer remotely, and discuss the challenges. Here's what I use.
Feed Page, RSS, & Atom - Minor Website Updates
I recently made some tweaks to my website. I added a dedicated page as a historical archive for these updates.
I also added the ability to subscribe to this feed using RSS, Atom, and JSON thanks to a handy NPM package.
VuES6 - ES6 Vue.js Components, in Plain JavaScript
I recently released a small utility library for defining Vue components as proper ES6 classes, but in vanilla JavaScript. I like to use this in small projects where I don't want to have to set up vue-cli and compile templates. More info here.
In my never-ending quest to self-host all the things, I've deployed a combination of Gitea and Drone CI for a feature-for-feature, self-hosted alternative to GitHub. Here's how.
I recently attended the annual University of Kansas hackathon, where me and a couple friends built Noded.
Noded is a tree-based note taking app based on reusable page elements. It provides support for basic notes, uploaded files, a built-in code editor, customizable databases, static website exports, and sub-tree sharing.
Check it out here.
Flitter-DI is the second-generation dependency-injector used by the Flitter framework. It was pulled from the libflitter project in the hope that it can remain independent from the rest of Flitter and can be used in other projects. More info here.
Dependency Injection in Less Than 100 Lines of Pure JavaScript
DI is a powerful pattern for segmenting code to keep it efficient and easy to reuse. In this article, we're going to build a basic DI in <100 lines of pure ES6. Read about it here.
Recently I had the pleasure of presenting at the University of Kansas' Center for Research Methods and Data Analysis Weekly Colloquium. You can find resources from my talk on using k8s for scientific computing here.
