ryanjames1729<p>I just put up a long overdo write-up on my spelling app, CDS Spells!, that I made for our younger learners at my school. This was a full stack app I built originally for my children and found it useful in the classroom for grades 1 - 3 to help kids learn to spell.</p><p><a href="https://dev.to/ryanjames1729/create-a-spelling-app-2be7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dev.to/ryanjames1729/create-a-</span><span class="invisible">spelling-app-2be7</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>webdev</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/graphql" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>graphql</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/nextjs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nextjs</span></a></p>

ryanjames1729<p>I found time to dig into Aatro's db feature. I wrote up what I learned from this and you can read it on dev.to or my site. Shout out to the support channel in the Discord for Astro for being awesome! https://dev.toryanjames1729/learning-with-astrodb-25og</p>
ryanjames1729<p>After using some inspiration from @hryanjones Guess My Word site I've used with my students, I started to build my own version. I've used other big frameworks in the past but went lightweight and used @astrodotbuild this time. Still a work in progress. <a href="https://word-of-the-day-james.netlify.app" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">word-of-the-day-james.netlify.</span><span class="invisible">app</span></a></p>
ryanjames1729<p>Programming solution for this week's problem</p>
ryanjames1729<p>I just put this up in my blog and my account on dev.to. I've been reading the docs and learning more about the App Router in NextJ 14. I built a single page app with read, post, and mutation abilities for a database that's kept in a CMS. <a href="https://dev.to/ryanjames1729/building-a-full-stack-app-with-crud-3kk8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dev.to/ryanjames1729/building-</span><span class="invisible">a-full-stack-app-with-crud-3kk8</span></a></p>

ryanjames1729<p>It's been a productive week already: uodated 2 projects with new features and shipped 2 new landing page projects. Thankful for Netlify and Hygraph to make this stuff easier.</p>
ryanjames1729<p>Random, but how many people have switched over to Typescript for all projects? I use it for projects I can take my time with, but when I want to ship something quickly, I'm still going for Javascript. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>webdev</span></a></p>
ryanjames1729<p>I've always felt weird about promoting myself. Maybe too many years working in schools. Anyway, I'm making my freelancing gig official. I added samples and my rates to my site for any website or multimedia freelance rquests: <a href="https://ryan-james.dev/freelance" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ryan-james.dev/freelance</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

ryanjames1729<p>I got around to write about building my first PWA with a React framework. I decided to build a quote of the day app for my absolute favorite character from TV: Rust Cohle from True Detective Season 1. </p><p>The article is available on my blog.
