Whenever VS Font-Awesome

Learn about Unix cron and use the whenever gem.

there are cronjob gems available, i believe https://github.com/javan/whenever or so seems to be used frequently

- Use them on a specific schedule as needed by your application, such as taking backups, sending periodic reminders or notifications for users, cleaning the database tables, etc. You can use a gem such as Whenever for managing scheduled cron jobs.

whenever gem is used in Rails applications to schedule cron jobs e.g. send email notification about monthly expenditure on the 1st of each month.

Then you can use the whenever gem to schedule stuff.

whenever

There are multiple ways to achieve this. Probably the simplest and most reliable is to rely on cron to run your process every minute. Cron keeps track of time and executes your script each minute. This has the added benefit of avoiding a long running process (which can have its own issues). You can even have your script install it’s own cron job using the Whenever gem.

Rake tasks can be called from Cron, so we'll use the Whenever Gem to automatically add our job to our Crontab during deployment, and keep our schedule in change control.

1. Font Awesome

For generic icons (i.e. you just need a d6 and not a system-specific d6 option), Foundry has Font Awesome which are easy to search, then copy and insert, and always look good inline.

The following is an example of defining Font Awesome:

Of course, we have many different ways of solving this problem. Some of the most common include pre-existing third-party icon libraries (such as Font Awesome), icons bundled into a third-party component library (like the Kendo UI Icons), or a completely custom set of icons designed and maintained by your design team. Obviously, going 100% custom will require more work (on both the design and dev side), but might be worth it to achieve a truly unique look – or if the UI will require icons for uncommon symbols or concepts.

The featured GitHub projects are dynamically retrieved through the power of the GitHub GraphQL API. The blog posts are seamlessly pulled in using the Dev.to API. Additionally, Redis is used to cache the GitHub and Dev.to API responses for 1 hour to reduce the number of API calls. Icons are provided by Font Awesome through their kit from the CDN. I've also implemented the new View Transition API feature to enhance the user experience.

Firstly, unlike the name https://fontawesome.com/ isn't for fonts.
