Details About some Personal Projects:
These are just my personal projects and some of the projects were poc’s or short samples of
work I had done for the company I work for.
For example, the company wanted me to work on reactabular tables - reactabular.js.org
And if you go to the site, you’ll notice that we can use code that makes it easier to create tables
in react. But, you’ll also notice that we also have to use that same code in each component
where we want the table.
My task was to create an abstract table using it, so we can just use few lines of code in the
component where we want the table and it’ll show up there. No need to put the full code there.
It’s abstracted enough so , each component can put it’s data in redux store and work completely
separate. And that too with just few lines of code.
Here’s the poc I am talking about - https://github.com/silentarrowz/hoc-table
React Shortcuts - This is something similar to what I used for a company project. It was a bit
more complex actually - this is a watered down version of that - We can use keyboard shortcuts
here to change the color and fontsize. First you need to click near the area you want change in
then clicking on 'a' changes the color to red and clicking 'b' changes color back to black.
clicking on 'up key' increases font size and on 'down key' decreases font size - here’s the link to
the app - https://github.com/silentarrowz/shortcuts
Youtube Downloader - I created a youtube downloader of my own as others online have too
many ads on them and don't even work most of the times. I made this for my own use - This
was made using nodejs - I wanted to update it with react as the frontend, but couldnt get to it yet
- https://github.com/silentarrowz/youtube-app
Here’s another app I created when I had just finished a certificate course I had done - the app
is made using nodejs. I wanted to create something similar to a facebook profile and it was fun
building it - https://limitless-savannah-77056.herokuapp.com/
Here’s a weather app I had created when I was learning react http://tranquil-cliffs-23016.herokuapp.com/#/?_k=2qrq8y
https://invoice-a4282.firebaseapp.com/ - this isnt very recent actually, but i deployed it to
firebase recently. It’s an online invoice app, as the previous company I was working on
used to prepare invoices in word which took a lot of time. I wanted to make the process
easier and came up with this idea of an online invoice.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
