5 GraphQL APIs You Can Use For Your Next Project.

If you struggle coming up with ideas, try building an app around these APIs.

Thread 🧵👇
1️⃣ OneGraph

OneGraph is the easiest way to build integrations with 3rd-party services. Connect Stripe, Salesforce, Zendesk, Twitter, GitHub, and more through one consistent GraphQL interface.

onegraph.com/graphiql
2️⃣ Rick and Morty

The Rick and Morty API is a GraphQL API based on the television show Rick and Morty. You will have access to hundreds of characters, images, locations, and episodes.

rickandmortyapi.com/graphql
3️⃣ GitHub

GitHub chose GraphQL for our API v4 because it offers significantly more flexibility for our integrators.
Start exploring GraphQL API queries using your account’s data now.

4️⃣ The Original: SWAPI

The first demo API for GraphQL was SWAPI (the Star Wars API).

graphql.org/swapi-graphql
5️⃣ SpaceX

Find SpaceX missions, launches, landing sites, drone ships. 🤯

api.spacex.land/graphql/

5 FREE Time Tracking Apps For Freelancers (and teams)

6 years ago when I started Freelancing I thought time tracking apps are evil. 😈

Now they are saving me hours by the end of the month when I'm doing my invoices.

A Thread 🧵👇
1️⃣ Klokki

@KlokkiHQ My personal favorite, it sits in my tray unnoticed. It's really easy to start/stop work sessions. If you work for multiple clients it's really easy to organize your different sessions in folders.

The only downside: Mac only. 🥶

2️⃣ Clockify

Clockify is a time tracker and timesheet app that lets you track work hours across projects. Pricing: free forever, unlimited users.
You can also use it as a team and track team activity, create invoices, and much more. My next best pick.

During my career, I looked at dozens of job applications from Junior developers. Some portfolios were soo good, I still remember them.

Today I'm giving you 6 tips on How to Stand Out with Your Job Application as an Aspiring Developer and make it to the interview!

Thread 🧵👇
1. Unique Project

I don't remember all the unique projects, but I do remember copies.
If there's a Pokedex in every repo, make a searchable list of SpaceX launches.

Here's a repo of free APIs: github.com/public-apis/pu…, add a bit of imagination and you already have my attention.
2. Version control (Git)

9/10 candidates will have a single commit in their GitHub repositories:

"initial commit"

If you put in the extra work and further tweaked a default app just give meaningful messages to your commits like:

"updated port"

"changed button to green"
