hiii I'm building my dream app its a period tracking app but completely private, no data collection at all!! everything you do in it is stored locally and once you delete the app the data is all deleted completely!
it's still in development but I made a landing page for it hehe https://thebeetrootapp.com/
also its free and will NOT contain ads! If I see one more pop-up ad when I'm just trying to peacefully track my cycle I will riot!
if y'all have any symptoms or moods I should add to the tracker please lmk also if there's just any reminders you'd like for different parts of your period. I think incorporating those would be super helpful!
I am super excited to be making this and if you think it's something you would use too plz lmk! this is my first time ever making a mobile app, I really hope things go well 🙏
I made my todo app a y2k theme and I lowkey love it and might make it the default theme ˚.🎀༘⋆
added an archive page as well and tried to split up my code to different files for better readability but idk it might have been a waste of time doing that ՞߹ - ߹՞
who I want to be when the weather is all gloomy and my brain hurts from contributing to the void that is applying for internships
these days it's just me & my desk & endless scholarship applications

winter break is coming to an end but as I live in california it truly has been more break than winter iykyk since I was pretty much off the grid all of fall semester I tried my darn hardest to see friends and family and I think it's been rather successful
my personal website has been completely revamped
I did some cool new updates to my todo app
I really want to update my github readme next and write a random blog post about... something random
it's been a looong break so I am very ready to head back to school, however my foot is still fractured so I am not looking forward to having to walk so much again also I did an interview for a technical writer internship and I am really hoping it went well because everyone I talked to was so cool and it genuinely seems like such a cool company to work at
wish me luck (づᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡

I built a todo app!
I built a todo app called GatorDo 🐊 for my web development class at uni! I wanted a todo app with local storage so you don't need to make an account to save your todos but for class we needed to integrate a database into our project so I chose Supabase (magic link auth).
The other tools I used are Vite + React and it's deployed on Netlify.
The app works fully in guest mode using local storage with the option to sign in via email link to save todos in the database.
Check it out: 🔗 https://gatordo.netlify.app
Constantly bouncing between the urge to share everything online and the desire to disappear from the internet completely.
I want to make updates so bad but idk where to start and it's like halfway through the semester how the heck am I supposed to summarize everything that has happened :0
accidentally said Saja Pop instead of Soda Pop and now I fear I've created a catchy name for the Saja Boys soda brand
X is an absolutely atrocious platform, but I still scroll through it to keep up with what’s happening in the tech community—mainly because people really show their ugly sides there. & honestly, if it weren’t for that app, I probably wouldn’t know about half the nonsense to avoid in the first place.
for example:
but honestly, I was pleasantly surprised to see the reaction to this on X. a lot of people called him out, deleted their accounts, and moved to a different platform. it briefly restored some hope in humanity for me
anyways, if you happen to be on vercel & are looking for a place to migrate your project, replit ceo is amazing and he has a quick easy guide on how to do so!
The older you get the more you will realize that your friends are people who have made mistakes and bad decisions and even just fucked up and hurt people.
And obviously your boundaries with your friends are completely up to you but you do need to recognize that if you cut off everyone who has done something wrong, you’re going to end up with no friends (and you yourself will have also fucked up in your life, and not lived up to those impossible standards either).
I’ve found it’s much more constructive to learn how to say “hey dude, that was massively fucked up of you,” because most people are really willing to say “yeah, it was, I need to work on it/not do it again/apologize and make things right” ESPECIALLY if they are hearing it from you as their friend.
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for another person is to tell them that they’ve done something wrong, help them fix it, and stay their friend because it’s what we would want from them if we did something wrong.
Yesterday I told somebody “hey, you were acting really passive-aggressively to this other person and it hurt them” and he called the other person, apologized, and then thanked me for calling him out.
you ever remember something cringe and just want to rm -rf /* your mind? because same

New Social Media App!!
If Instagram and Twitter had a baby but it was for activists that want their voices to be heard.
"Built by Palestinian-Australian developer Issam Hijazi and supported by the Tech for Palestine incubator, UpScrolled is everything Instagram refused to become. It is fully functional, thoroughly tested, and ready to scale."

I'm super curious of y'alls thoughts on this & if y'all decide to check it out let's follow each other ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Moving advice!!! First of all congratulations on your big step towards independence! Second of all, a lot of advice you might get is quite personal, but I'll try to make things as broad as possible. If you know your own mind well enough, it becomes a lot easier to gauge if something will work for you. That being said! Here are my top tips. Apologies for potentially wierd formatting, I'm on mobile ;;
#1 - communal living. Depending on your situation, you may be sharing a kitchen or a bathroom with any number of people. To avoid irritating clutter, or the chance of accidental (or purposeful) theft, keep visible bathroom and kitchen stuff to a minimum, and watch sentimentally valuable things like a hawk. Keep those things in your room if you can. You might trust your housemates implicitly, but things get broken by accident all the time, and you can't guarantee the conduct of guests, wardens, landlords, tradies etc.
#2 - if you're in a dorm, get a doormat and a shoe rack for your room. Doesn't have to be big or flashy, but it creates a sense of zoning and helps to avoid the dreaded Shoe Pile making everything cluttered/dirty/shoe-smelling. It'll be a nice experience for your guests too.
#3 - storage storage storage!!! Underbed boxes, shelves, hanging baskets and nets, rolling carts, shelf baskets, drawer boxes, you name it. This is a great way to prioritise exactly what you want, and provides easy ways to transport things between accommodations if / when you decide to move.
#4 - prioritise being a clean housemate. Even if you don't get along perfectly with your roommates or dormmates, being a neat + tidy person can only help things. Don't leave the drainer full of stuff, clean out old food in the fridge, hoover/sweep/dust if you can, take the bins out etc. Obviously this depends a lot on your mobility and circumstances, but whatever you can do towards this goal, the better. For the bathroom specifically, the quicker you get on top of cleaning all the nooks and crannies like around the taps, corners of the shower etc, the higher chance you have that nothing will get gross and oxidise-y, and save a lot of effort during inspections.
#5 - sometimes useful knicknacks will be your best friend. Get flipflops to use in the bathroom + shower; get two or three bottle openers because they will get stolen; get scented powder for your bathroom bin; buy an air freshener/candle/reed or oil diffuser; get rubber gloves and a handled sponge; get a squeegee for the shower door; get antibacterial wipes for surfaces as well as a cloth + sponge.
#6 - if this is possible for you, make sure that you ventilate your space well. Mould is one of the number one things that a landlord will crack your head about because it is so difficult to get rid of. Black mould especially can be v dangerous. So if you have wet or damp things in your room like laundry or towels, keep airflow as high as possible.
OK this is incredibly long but I think this is everything I wish I'd known. I have been living in shared housing for about 8 or 9 years now and have had some very shocking housemates, and honestly especially in the early days I have *been* a very shocking housemate. So these things are learned through big trials and big errors lmao;; when I moved, my mum immediately went to a different fucking continent, so I don't have the option to change things round easily, or store large stuff with her. If that's your situation too, I'm very sorry - but if it isn't, use that to your advantage. You don't have to pack everything but the kitchen sink. You will amass things like bedding, crockery, decorative knicknacks etc as you move through life - make sure you have room for them!
Once again all the best with your move. I hope its exciting and you get everything you want from it! All the best :>
thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out!! this is all such helpful info I truly appreciate it! its going to be interesting living with potentially 3 other people that I have never met before in my entire life so I will be taking a lot of these points into consideration.
