I’m using a standard client/server setup powered by NodeJS/Express on the backend. The style takes after a well-known bug bounty community site (hacker101) which I borrowed while becoming more proficient in cyber security to enhance security of the apps I produce. My site is still quite small but is slowly blossoming into a place for me to post to my blog, share beginner, intermediate, and advanced engineering practices, DevOps, and more. Form Validation — ​ A ​ lso My Portfolio Site https://www.codingwith.me/contact-me One of the more important factors of a business that I have run into numerous times is the infamous form validation. I implemented this on my own site to give you a sense of how close-to-home this issue crops up for me. So far no bots have tagged my form, but maybe I’ll add in a ReCAPTCHA next. ;D RandomSplash​— ​A Random Photo Generator App: ​https://sp-patatap.herokuapp.com Github: ​https://github.com/new-cipher/patatap-clone The concept here is fairly simple. It is essentially a React application that has a single component (housing state) to reach out to the Unsplash API to retrieve images. The image stays static until the image is clicked generating a new request to replace the image with a newer one. One of the things left to implement in this app is a loading animation between image transitions. Something I’ll be getting to very soon! Client Manager​—I​ nsurance Sales In Development My older brother works as an insurance salesman and we recently discussed working on a client management application to help him keep track of his clients since his company doesn’t have this type of infrastructure already laid out for him. It’s a fairly novel idea so I haven’t finished with it yet, but my goal is to build it robust enough that his entire company can implement it to help their whole company streamline their workflows! Patatap — ​ A ​ Clone of the Patatap site App: ​https://sp-patatap.herokuapp.com Github: ​https://github.com/new-cipher/patatap-clone This is a fairly simple application that uses jQuery and HTML5 Canvas to replicate the features of the original Patatap website (http://www.patatap.com). My version was a project in one of my web development courses. It uses fewer CSS animations and instead uses color animations with a circle that spawns randomly in the canvas area. We used Howler.js for the sounds and Paper.js for the circles that spawn when a letter key is clicked. I’m currently also working on other apps, such as a cloud service client, a booking system, bug tracker, and more!
