Show HN: I'm learning react. I made an app to easily create NSAttributedStrings
- passivepinetree 9y agoThis is super cool! As a former Swift dev who is now learning React as well, can you talk a little bit about your process? Your site looks super polished and I'm curious about how you went about learning React, designing the site, etc. I'd be thrilled if I could come up with something so useful and it's a perfect "sample" initial page to make.
- AArg 9y agoHey! Thanks you so much for the kind words. Answering your questions... My process of learning is basically to read as little as I can to have enought knowledge to get me started on building something. After that I just google the problems I find or read documentation to try to achieve what I need to do. It never worked for me to read a book and start working after that... I get bored and quit. The site ended up looking really nice, of course the last thing I did was making it nice, at the beggining it was really ugly. I'm really bad at designing so I usually try to find sites that I like and "get inspired" with that... if you know codepen.io maybe you will find some resemble. If you want to send PRs feel free!
- passivepinetree 9y agoMy learning process is pretty much the same; that's interesting. I definitely can't learn from books. That's a good tip; I might steal that in the future. Thanks again.
- asfandsh 9y agoI see you're using quill. If you don't mind, can you tell me if it supports @mentions #hashtags?
- xyclos 9y agoThe ability to apply styles to a range within a string was a pleasant surprise. well built.
- AArg 9y agothanks!
