FINALLY worked out Sanity’s GraphQL syntax

Way too close to sunrise to be doing this, but trying to get plugins installed within #Sanity is not fun! Install widget, add to dashboardConfig ... "Not found: "cats""

Having fun with ChartJS where a barchart loads 'zoomed in' and blurry until the window size changes. Only the 1 chart out of 5 is doing this, all with similar configs

The joys of html/url/uri encoding/decoding, ASP, .NET, SQL, form validation, and unnecessary postback calls ... all to get a WYSIWYG control behave. Love it.

Only went and started my dream job recently. Dev work will now be related to personal projects instead of general info/questions.

Checking out some Craft CMS, so far is looks like some nice admin UI

I think (!) it’s safe to say the site is now responsive. Oh it’s been a fun couple of hours.

Boom! Netlify CMS working with Gridsome. Very basic setup currently, but easy enough to expand. Can create posts from anywhere now

Site/blog/thing is nearly releasable. It’ll never be finished as I’ll tinker with it. A lot. Got to say, Gridsome and Tailwind have been a dream to use and break

Tailwind is pretty awesome stuff! Once you get the hang of it’s naming convention, it’s pretty easy to get a design going.

Changed over to #TailwindCSS because why not. Luckily I wasn’t heavily into the NES CSS layout, so not much change needed.

Woah! My site is NOT responsive to mobile browsers. Guess I’ll need to fix that next

Not sure if to admit how many hours it’s taken of debugging for why a component wouldn’t load. One too many l’s in the word “all” broke it. Face could not meet palm any quicker #VueJS #gridsome

Learning some, basic, GraphQL to sort out the personal site ... some of the docs don’t seem as easy to follow for newcomers.

Tonight’s antics involved domain forwarding, dns changes, waiting on ssl verification, Node, extra endpoints using Express and an idea of a Google Sheets backend to allow fo easy site text updates

Woop! Landing/holding page is live.

Fix someone else’s VS Code extension that broke my project, or carry on with the project?

Writing JSON in Notes on the iPhone is ‘fun’
