Day 1 — Solo Game Jam Challenge

Starting on a new project is always a very exciting moment: it's full of discovery and of very satisfying moments. If you're like me, you start small, and each new brick you add is simple: you get a great sense of accomplishment seeing those new elements pop up and work together. It is a time of pleasure, a time far from the rage and anguish of impossible bugs, code refactors and algorithmic headaches.

But I'm not worried, I know I'm getting there!

So, I hacked a little code to smartly split my string into an array of sub-strings and DOM elements.

More recently, while working on Translate.Next — the rewrite of Pontoon's translate page to React — I stumbled upon the same problem. After looking around the Web for a tool that would solve it, and coming up short handed, I decided to write my own and make it a library.

Processeer.io - a Powerful and Flexible Report Builder for JSON APIs

More than 2 years ago, I wrote about a prototype I built, called Spectateur, that allowed users of Socorro to create custom reports for their needs. The idea was to make it easy to write a script that pulls data from a public API, transforms it and then displays it as a nice table or chart. I strongly believe in this idea, and have been making various progress on the concept over the last 2 years, until I finally put together a nicer, more complete prototype at the end of 2016. I called it Processeer, and it's available at processeer.io.
