    I don't guess I even really mean that I hate Rails, I just don't feel like there's are as many resources out there for me to learn better. I had a fatal error in a project that made it where I couldn't deploy it, and no matter what I did, I couldn't find any solution that worked for me.

    Haha yeah that was from when I was going to make it where user's could input their own names for the interface. I thought I scrapped all that stuff, but apparently I didn't.

    Thank you! That means a lot! And once I finally settled on what I wanted to do, it took about a week, but a lot of that was getting my ideas more fleshed out.

    I actually just finished my portfolio. I have been in a bit of a rut, project-wise (Turns out, I hate Rails). It's a terminal-based portfolio (with some Fallout inspiration). You can check it out...

    I'm working on a Magic the Gathering tracker app.

    My friends and I play every week, and we currently use Lifetap, and it's just all around the best, but I find myself wanting some extra bits thrown in there. I'm using React Native, which is relatively new to me, so I'm also learning a good bit at the same time.

    His style definitely has changed significantly since Spitfire, but I think Worlds is still one of the best albums I've ever listened to.

    I still feel like they are mostly out of place in my playlist.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl is by far one of my favorite book series. If you aren't already, definitely give it a listen on Audible. Jeff Hays does an amazing job with every voice.

  9. Comment on 10,000-hour indie RPG goes free-to-play as devs aren't comfortable making "tens of thousands of dollars from people who don't play the game" in ~games

    It's pretty cool of the devs to take a stance like this, especially considering they're still giving people the option to refund the game.

    I made a bird-themed React project that was my first run at React. I spent all of my time outside of my full-time job working on this, but I think I finally finished v1.0. I still have things I want to do to it, and obviously there are still some issues I'm ironing out, but for the most part, it's complete. If anyone wants to take a look, you can visit it here while I'm getting my domain set up.

  12. What was the first comic you can remember reading?

    For me it was The New 52 run of the Flash comics. I started there because that was the current run when I first started reading and then once I got caught up, I went back and read the earlier ones. Now I'm just reading various Marvel comics as I have time, but if anyone has any recommendations for new comics, I will gladly check them out.

    It's birds in general. I have no real intentions with the website, but I've made it possible for users to upload their own bird information. After some design I plan to publish version 1.0.

    I have been, for almost two months, have been working on just a fun, in-depth website about birds. I'm trying to learn more about React and I'm trying to branch out with database services so I'm trying my hand at Supabase. I'm really loving every tool I'm working with so far and feel like I've learned a decent bit. Once I finish it, if I like it enough, I may turn it into an app just to add to my portfolio.
