Advantage Holidays
Freelance Project
The client's specs were broad but simple; to create a responsive, secure web app to sell discounted time-share holidays...
App Features:
- Admin area to manage orders and site content.
- Holiday resort search with filters.
- Paypal credit card payments.
- Location maps.
Job Highlights:
- Keeping client up-to-date with weekly progress emails.
- Negotiated profit-share and equity position, on top of monetary compensation for the work.
- Incorporated previously unused technologies, including Docker and Mapbox.
Some Problems to Address:
- Search functionality is adequate, but could be better. Search code is convoluted, and should be refactored.
- "Logic creep" into views. @php tag used too liberally in some views.
- Next time, pass data to views via JSON as API, or API-ready data. This is the modern paradigm.
- Project delivered two months overdue.
Learning Highlights:
- From now: All complex apps must have API capability. Pass data to views as JSON.
- Laravel pagination does not work well with Mysql JOINS. Workaround: custom paginator, and call next page with JS rather than using Laravel HTML page numbers.
- Tempted to phase out Jquery use and go 100% vanilla.
- Moving closer towards SOLID but not there yet.
- Set more realistic timelines. Too ambitious for one person. Don't make promises you can't keep.
- More time planning = less time coding!
Splatter
Personal Project
Splatter is a Twitter clone with a focus on truth & freedom of speech. Posts are applied to Ethereum Smart Contracts and stored on the blockchain to ensure decentralized integrity of data...
Oauth implementation via Laravel Passport. The data is served as an API, and passed to Views as JSON-formatted objects. This allows for flexibility for extension of the App.
Smart contract implementation in Solidity via Node.js for deployment is still under development. The intention is to store posts in Smart contracts, initially on the Rinkeby Test Network due to financial constraints. This will shift to the Main Ethereum Network should the model prove feasible.
Applying user posts to the Ethereum Blockchain will ensure the integrity of the information. Freedom of speech is maintained, and censorship is therefore minimized.
