Day 714 - Execution, strategy, mindset https://writelier.com/execution-strategy-mindset-e65152d3-f795-471c-89bb-30acb795350b

Day 713 - Should I go open source? https://writelier.com/should-i-go-open-source-56681704-d155-4436-aaab-2a65096667f1

🀠 That sense of adventure and anticipation when you run `yarn create nuxt-app`

More conceptual learning/refresh on Nuxt (re-watched Vue School course), and integrating Nuxt frontend with Strapi backend (reading through Strapi and Netlify tuts). Discovering serverless functions as a proxy layer for APIs 🧐

Wrote a script to display on home page an index of hyperlinked titles to my posts in Github Pages. Learned about using fetch method for Github APIs (they have an API for EVERYTHING!).

😡😡😡 Finally finally finally, managed to tweak my endpoint to get a list of authors and their streak data. It works now, but I feel burned out from too much hard, not-so-fun javascript gymnastics over the past 2 weeks - there's a million ways to do anything, and coming from more opinionated frameworks like Rails, this is quite a brain workout! πŸ‹πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Couldn't have done this without hand-holding from @keenencharles - thank you!!

Day 704 - Anticipation as hope https://writelier.com/anticipation-as-hope-0bd9abe3-d1b1-45a1-8a8e-44e52aa1aeac
