Rhymus Application

The last day of Hacktoberfest is here and I submit my last pull request. It has been a great exposure to the open-source community. Before starting hacktoberfest I set two goals:

Git - How to use git

C# & TypeScript - Learn new languages

Working with multiple projects, I managed to get a hang of using git. Unfourtonalty I didn't have the chance to give C# & TypeScript. My plan is to focus on this goal for the next month as we dive into working with big open source projects.


rhymus

This week I had the opportunity to work on rhymus. 

the bug was to display the score to the player once the game was over. At first, the developer wanted the score to be displayed in a pop-up. I tried using javascript alert() method on but it didn't look very user-friendly, so I decided to come up with a design and suggest it to him. I decided to add the scoreboard on the card once the game was over and would be removed for a new game. Afterwards, I made the pull request and posted a preview of what I had done for the developer. The developer seemed to like what I had done and merged my fix.

Whiteboard Application: Built with Open Source Projects

I just took my first steps into the open source world and it was amazing. As my first project, I built a note taking application with the help of some open source projects and Github. I’m going to admit, I was a bit scared at first because I hadn’t touched web development in months so I was I rusty in Javascript and other web technologies. Thanks to my instructor, I was able to set-up everything on Github with ease and execute git commands that I had forgotten. All in all it was a good experience and was nice to get back into coding after a long break from it. Whiteboard Application The point of this application is to allow users to takes notes on a webpage. There are also features such as saving what you have written on the whiteboard or clearing the whiteboard all at once. The application was built using the following open source projects: ·          Filer ·          PaperCSS ·   ...

Taking on new technology

In my last week's blog, I talked about the two objectives I would take on during November. In the middle of working on the contributions, I decided to change my issue for the internal open source project. I'm hoping to continue with this issue for next pull request I have to submit for my course. As you know, the external open source project I chose to contribute to was vscode . In the beginning, when i saw this issue , i thought this would be an uncomplicated and straightforward issue to work on within a big open source project. Before i forked the clown, i took a good look at the documents they had to just get a sense of how to contribute to the project and do the simple tasks of running and testing. After cloning, i had an issue running the project, this is where i spent some good time reading the documentation again, but i was just having a hard time running the project. I managed to get it running after a few reads.  Thanks to another contributor i had a hint of where...

Using Lighthouse with Node CLI

Last week in my blog i mentioned working on integrating Lighthouse CI into our course project . The goal was to provide a tool for contributors working on the front-end side of the project. With lighthouse, our contributors could run some diagnostics test to know which parts of the front-end could be improved upon. So for the last week, I have been reading documentation and blogs/articles for lighthouse ci. One of the things i picked up was that for a future project i could use lighthouse ci and integrate it with my server, and also i can use Github Actions to automatically run diagnostics and produce reports. But this wasn't the solution we needed for our course project. So i came across the CLI documents . With the Lighthouse CLI, I would be able to set up it up and test the files locally. Using npm i installed the API: npm install -g @lhci/cli Afterward, i used collect the run the diagnostics tests and store lighthouse reports in the .lighthouseci/ folder. Usi...
