100 Hour Work Week Devlog

{ Creating a Collective Debate Platform }

I’ve always been deeply frustrated about the current online environment for discussing important matters and finding out truth about what’s going on around the world. Online comment section is synonymous with chaos and vitriol and our generation is quickly losing confidence in large media outlets. I find that fact really unfortunate because I believe the internet is one of the most powerful promoter of democracy and freedom of information.

That is why I decided to build TRUEST. Where people can find what is the objective truth. ...Or something closest to that – collective consensus based on empirical evidence. Following is the devlog of the past week where I put 100 hours into creating the first version of this platform.

Soon I’ll be posting pictures that goes along with the log as well. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

From Zero to App Store in 3 Weeks

After my preliminary version of ruby on rails social network was deployed on the web, I quickly realized that, to create an application that people would want to use it is absolutely necessary to create a mobile application for it as well.

So I dedicated the first 3 weeks of August to learn Objective-C & Swift (Apple’s new programming language) and develop a fully functional mobile application.

This began as a way to develop the mobile app for my social networking site, but it happened to take a slightly different turn.

Here is a quick (-ish) summary of what happened:

The First Week

I spent all of my time taking a Objective-C Course from Teamtreehouse.com and built 6 demo application including one I’ve designed.

- In that week, I learned fundamentals of Objective-C & iOS (Cocoa Touch) framework, built basic snapchat-type app, third-party Instagram app, and designed & built sort-of-finished social rock paper scissors app.

... my first super basic iOS app.

The Second Week

I first took the Swift course from the teamtreehose.com. After completion I was quite dissatisfied the depth & coverage of the course, so I decided to get right to the official Swift Programming Language book by Apple.

- After completing the book, I was ready to start developing my first prototype app in Swift. But I wasn’t sure what I was going to build before fully jumping into building the app for my social networking site. I immediately started thinking about what I would want to use. So I decided to build an app to help me with the very process that I was partaking in – learning new things and documenting my progress. Up to this point, I had been using several different tools to help me organize my learning & documentation process – such as todo-lists, timers, notepads for writing things down... etc. I tried using several apps and web extensions in attempt to streamline my process, and ended using bunch of separate tools –chrome timer extension, apple stock timer & note pad, extra notepad file in my coding projects, and others. It was only natural that I begin the development of Point A – the tool to document, track, and share my progress.

For the last two days of second week I built a working prototype of the the app. I built a basic app with timer-notepad integration. It was what I was doing with different tools, just put into one place.

The conceptual design & initial implementation of the app

The Third Week

After building the first functional prototype of Point A I didn’t want this project to cease as simply as a prototype. I decided to make Point A into a full fledged app made available to everyone via the App Store.

This last week I’ve implemented: - Notes export feature - Notes sort-by-timespan feature - Project list page & ability to create multiple objects - Project analysis & graphs - App settings ( Auto-pause feature & Idle-timer disable feature ) - Swipe navigation & custom transitions & created / gathered all the data for app store submission

Screenshots of Point A - the Finished Product

Point A is currently in a review process in the app store. If you are interested in the details of the process, below is the complete notes from the third week documented & exported via Point A app.

Also, if you have any questions about learning process of Objective-C, Swift, deploying to the app store, Point A app, or whatever – please feel free to contact me anytime. I can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected]

100 Hour Work Week

{Creating a Social Networking Web Site }

For this week of 100 Hour Challenge I’ve decided to build a social networking site. As a part of last challenge, I’ve completed Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl ( & Unity 2D ) -- and as an extension of the last challenge I’ve built my own web application.

The Prototype Application ( temporary name ) is a group focused content sharing platform built to deliver, store & organize contents you share with people. It is now deployed on temporary URL -- jkim.herokuapp.com -- if you are interested please feel free to use it!

Following this point is a complete log of the progress I’ve made this week.

100 Hour Workweek Day 7!

Finally finished the challenge for the week.

50 hours and 27 minutes of Rails +

49 hours and 42 minutes of Unity

= 100 hours and 9 minutes.

Progress I made this week -

Finished Ruby On Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl

Finished Unity 2D Essential Training by Jesse Freeman

Finished Scripting Unity with C# by Kelley Hecker

Finished Project: 2D Roguelike Tutorial by Unity

Made 1 Demo Web Application

Made 2 Demo Unity Game

Designed & Created Original A.I. System for Unity

Since the beginning of the week I’ve learned -

Fundamental understanding of Ruby On Rails -- How to build a web application from scratch and securely deploy on the world wide web

Fundamental understanding of Unity2D -- How to use Unity’s framework to develop 2D games

Functional knowledge of C# programming language & Unity’s scripting API -- How to create modular A.I. with C# and MonoDevelop

How to create custom 2D sprites and animations with pixel art

Also I’ve learned much about productivity, value of time, and myself... which I will post of blog about soon.

And I’ll continue to log my progress on Web Development, Game Development, and more. If you read this and had any questions feel free to let me know!
