Hello there,

Last Week

On Tuesday, I worked on the next.js travel log. We dove into react context / provider API and useReducer.

On Wednesday, I was live all day for a member drive. There was an a amazing showing of support. Huge thanks to everyone that donated and became a member. Also, huge thanks to everyone that dropped in to hang out. This community is what makes Coding Garden what it is. Here are some stats from the day:

I plan to do a member drive again next month, but I will also have lots of extra stuff planned for member goals and general community activities.

On Thursday I posted a summary of our work last week on listd. We setup Authjs with SvelteKit and also setup Github actions.

On Friday we worked on the new user on-boarding flow for listd.This was quite an involved stream where we dug into database seeds, customizing Authjs session objects and user objects and also sveltekit form actions. Also, checkout the short I made that came about when we were working on seeding the database.

Today I will be doing a supporters only live stream where I will be adding YouTube chat messages to my chat overlay. Be sure to join the discord and link your Twitch/YouTube/Patreon account to get the live stream link the supporters only channel.

Tomorrow I will be working on the next.js travel log. What started as a re-make of the old travel log, is turning into a fairly complex example of modern react / next.js. Is that a good thing? Probably. Is it way more code than I planned on writing? Yeah. Will it be useful for people? Probably. Anyways, I will be working on locking down the API and deploying the app to vercel and mongodb atlas.

Friday we will be working on listd. I plan to setup testing, refactor anything that needs refactoring and cleanup as many TODOs in the code base as possible.

That’s all. Thanks for reading this far down. See you in the chat 🖖
