Learn By Doing

⭐️ A methodology of learning things to dive-in and get your hands dirty with what you learnt

#learnbydoing #100DaysOfCode

How to start - A thread for devs 🧵 ⬇️
1/ Decide what to learn

→ Analyse the potential of the language/framework/anything else

→ Try to find reasons to keep yourself motivated during learning
2/ Come up with a project idea

→ Ensure the scope of the project is not too big, and not too small

→ (Framework/Library) Project should have ample features to utilize the key aspects of the lib

→ List down the items & create a roadmap, ensure you always know what's next
3/ Commit to building the project in the open

→ Announce the project to friends or on social networks, helps you stay committed

→ Optionally, share your progress with same set of people

#buildinpublic
4/ Do not try to be a perfectionist

→ Make the project open-source or host the project for others to try ASAP

→ Have a way to collect feedback, but don't prioritize them until you have crossed off everything you committed
5/ Celebrate small wins

→ Appreciate yourself for building small features

→ Gift yourself short time-off's to reflect on what you have built

Sharing a Micro-SaaS Idea from my notes💡

One-liner: Instagram Carousal builder

#saas #microsaas #businessideas
Problem? (1/2)

Making carousals for an Instagram requires you to create multiple images using online platforms like canva or any other graphic editing tools.

❌ Requires you to calculate measurements for image
Problem? (2/2)

❌ No way to preview the content before uploading to Instagram
❌ Need to use additional tools like image splitter

Yesterday, I upgraded @chakra_ui from v0.8 to v1 for my personal site. Here are my thoughts on the upgrade experience.

🧵 A short thread ⬇️
⭐️ Simplified components - Few of the components were merged into one as their functionality were similar, reducing complexity
🚫 Too many changes (which is acceptable for first stable build) - but the DX would have been much better if released with a working codemod
