Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?


It looks like I’ve developed my first react app. If you are into Mead (or maybe just wine?) brewing have a look at https://goldendrop.blueether.net/.

Nice! I don’t know what I’m doing with it but it looks really neat!
I also recently built my first react app. Nothing to show and tell with but I built it earlier in the year to create a pocket money tracker since I couldn’t find something I liked. React frontend and Symfony backend since these were the technologies I was trying to get familiar with in order to contribute to another FOSS project.
I started this as an itch because the calculator that I normally use got broken on a PHP upgrade and none of the other online calculators matched it’s usefulness.
I also wanted to add batch tracking/note taking to it, it’s starting to get much larger than I planned :/
I will admit that the
firestonefirebase studio has done lots of the heavy lifting.I’ll foss it at some stage
Ah haha I see, I hadn’t heard of that tool before, do you learn much or is it basically all asking it to do it for you?
It is taking a little debuging on some stuff, but it is many years since I played with JS. Every thing I do at work is around DAX and M
I did start it in Gemini’s canvas but it kept shitting the bed every time I edited the code by hand or it got too complex. It was using firebase’s db as storage so I imported it into it’s studio and it is a very different beast
Ah I haven’t used a tool like this, but it does seem like the kind of thing that would shit the bed when you go outside their happy path. Thanks for posting it, one day I might actually get around to brewing my own beer and then I might understand what it’s for 😅
