4 Months of serious coding, tutorial request site is finally complete (the beta)

• tonechild 11y ago
  The idea behind this site is to let a self-moderated community vote on tutorial requests themselves. This would give teachers a better idea of what to blog about or vlog about etc. This could also improve the quality of tutorials. . After posting this on reddit and linkedin, we received 4k pageviews and a lot of criticism. I put in a ton of fixes and am planning on completely refactoring the backend to use graphql, which i must say is really really sweet. It does have a few shortcomings though, but that might jsut be me being new to it. At any rate, the project ended up spurring me into creating a handful of react components. One is a markdown preview editor, another is an avatar uploader, and I released the website (both server and client) as open source, not to mention I recored myself the entire time making it while on livecoding.tv . The real fun was being a part of open source and learning a ton about es6, react, nodejs, and more. My only regret is not unit testing enough.
