First Blog Post

Preface

I guess this is definitely a long time coming. I always have a bunch of idea for different projects. I then try to prototype them, running into some issue, stop working on it and after a while, I just forgot what I did. I figure by starting this I can at least note them down, theorizing in words what can be done better.

Other than projects, maybe this would be a good way to improve my writing skill. Every now and then I will probably add some random non-coding thoughts and see how it goes. I expect my blog posts will be quite random, which is why I added tags just so I can integrate some sorting and recommendation later. I also expect these post to be filled with grammar errors, messy structures but I will try my best to articulate and update them as good as I can

Features

I was able to integrate some of the cool features that I would like for my posts:

• Being able to have code highlight for different programming languages

Javascript

import { API, graphqlOperation } from "aws-amplify";
import { merge } from "lodash";
import { useCallback, useEffect, useState } from "react";

const fetchMore = useCallback(
  async token => {
    try {
      setLoading(true);
      if (token) {
        const formattedOperation = graphqlOperation(operation, { nextToken: token }, ...args);
        const retrievedData = await API.graphql({ ...formattedOperation, authMode });
        setData(currentData => merge(currentData, retrievedData));
      }
      setLoading(false);
      return retrievedData;
    } catch (err) {
      setError(err);
      setLoading(false);
      return {};
    }
  },
  [authMode, operation]
);

Python

# random test
print("test") 

• All of these are in markdown format, which means I can hypothetically change to different themes easily
• Image upload integrated with AWS S3

There are some more features I would like to add but for now this should be able to allow me to quickly create post without much hassle

Finally

I am very excited to start populate more of these posts. Hopefully it will be a good read for others and a tool for me to improve my communication skills :)
