    Day 6 of treating LinkedIn like a blog.

    I will stop counting eventually. 🙂 Maybe even move onto an actual blog. Imagine that!

    Sunday morning was spent messing around with the UI/UX on my “100 hours” project. After sifting through some stock images I whipped out Sebastian’s tube feed supplies and created my own background image. The nicks in the wood just add character, right? 🙂 Then all I did was invert the colors in Photoshop to make a dark mode toggle image. The purple theme is kind of perfect since it is a popular feed supply color (the other option is blue).

    A few months ago I connected Google Analytics with my tube feed web app. Other than a spike in views whenever I’ve publicly shared the link, it appears there are about 20 regular users per week. I need to show the tubie communities how to download it to their home screens so I have that data as well. (In case you have no idea what I am referring to, I will share the link to my original post in the comments!)

    I’m excited because, thanks to 100devs and Appwrite, this is the week I plan to add user profiles so folks can save their feed histories, etc.

    Fingers crossed it works out!

  • Day One

    This is from my “Treat LinkedIn Like a Blog” series. 

    Day one of treating LinkedIn like my old (retired) blog. 🙂

    This past weekend I celebrated my birthday. I also received my acceptance letter into an amazing cohort where I will have the opportunity to grow in more ways than one.

    I felt like such a jerk because I could not focus on celebrating my wins when my first ever technical interview was looming. Regardless of the fact that I had been waking up at 3:30AM to get some extra studying in, as most firsts go, I bombed the interview. I learned a lot and allowed myself part of a day (ok maybe a full day) to wallow. I am coming out of the fog today, and am feeling grateful. As we have learned in 100devs, it’s one in sixty. I’ve met some goals these last few months, and have a couple opportunities ahead. Time to get back to work.
    The growth is slow, but it’s there. <3

    Enjoy a bday selfie and some beautiful snow day pics of my kiddos.
