I first started coding with Python in 2019. I got my own computer in the summer of 2020 and began using Ubuntu as my primary operating system shortly after. I bought a couple domains and a hosting plan in eary 2021. I have worked on various projects since.
This is by far my most extensive project. An explanation can be found on the sites about page. Essentially I like discovering new websites, so I made a site which directs users to random sites. I used simple PHP post requests to communicate with the MySQL database. I have approximately 5000 sites in my database. The site collects logs details about each visitor and collects user ratings if they submit them. Users can also create accounts where they can track their history and save sites as favorites.
Since I have been using linux as my primary OS, I have payed much more attention to the file system. I was curious how many file extensions I could name and how many other people could. I created this from scratch with Javascript. I used a couple sources online to find as many file extensions as I could, but I am sure some are not included.
At Babson College where I attend, every freshman is enrolled in 'Foundations of Management and Entrpreurship.' In this class students are divided into groups to pursue a business. Early in our project I created a mockup of what our website should look like.
I think WebGL websites look super cool, so I wanted to dip my toe into working on some rendering with javascript. I followed along a YouTube tutorial to create this.
Currently working on this trivia web-app. Have gone through various iterations, but this one as made with Node.js. I had a lot of struggle getting the Google SSO to work. I made some (20%) of the questions myself and others (80%) with GPT-3.5. My intention with this project was to make a better way to learn stuff. I think Quizlet is not nearly creative enough.
With the same idea as above, made a trivia app for iPhone. Took me a long time to do since I was totally new to Swift. Even the attached video shows bugs. Overall thought it was fun to make, but it was just so much harder to make than web development that I have paused this to work on the web version.
