  • Last, but definitely not least, was taking on a feature implementation for Library of Twitter, which randomly generates a tweet of random characters. The added feature was to generate a tweet of random words and to also allow users to toggle between the two. Boy oh boy was this taking a huge bite. I have some very basic experience in web development just from online courses I've been taking, but the added complication of learning how to make fetch requests to a JSON file, implementing async functions, and working through Promises was not something I expected to be so complex. Also, coming up with a custom toggle radio button to match the app's design was also a big challenge. In the end though, I think the end result was a success! It may not be the cleanest code or most efficient way of implementing that functionality, but it works nonetheless and I was very pleased with the result.

    :cocktail: Open Source Drinks! Add your own recipe in a pull request! Inspired by 🎃Hacktoberfest!

  • Next up was a neat project I found, Open Drinks, where contributors can submit recipes for various alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It was another great exercise of git and gh commands as well as familiarizing myself with JSON objects and properties. I decided to submit a drink I enjoyed at the Christmas markets from my time in Germany, Glühwein. Go checkout some other awesome recipes!

  • WorkOS
