Update: Chapter 2 - Getting Closer
Update on LearnHow.dev
Current state of affairs
Here is where I left off:
- Get placeholder pages up for sites with accompanying infrastructure (i.e. slack, mailchimp, etc.)
- Start building out content pages and resources to fill out those pages
- Work on the wizard and organizing frontier codebase
Placeholder pages for Sites and infrastructure
Slack and mailchimp are up and running. (getting more into discord as time goes on, we’ll see; also looking at https://www.discourse.org/ since I was recommended using a forum structure instead of slack/discord structure and I could deploy it locally)
LearnHow is up, for the most part!
Knight.works is working fine minus some issues linking between articles. #todo
FrontierJS needs work. It will eventually become a Frontier site and it wouldn’t be hard at all to make work. But since it is lowest priority I wonder if this would be a good test for carrd.co?
Content Pages and resources for LearnHow
LearnHow.dev (LHD) has a basic structure but I’m not quite finished thinking through the content structure.
Once have the structure, I have a first article in mind related to a current project. It has to do with implementing designs from figma into css via WindiCSS.
Assessment or Engagment Wizard
For the wizard, I came across https://www.typebot.io/ and it seemed interesting for a couple of different reasons, so I decided to implement the wizard using it…at least short term.
As I have built it out, I realized how complex the convesation can become and how many paths it could potentially go down. And while there has been UI issues, working it out in Typebot has been helpful to have mock conversations and overall a good experience.
I still need to massage all the flows and review how to make it most effective - for the users and for my goals.
Organizing Frontier Codebase
Alot has been going on here and probably deserves reflection and its own article.
Some things of note:
- Its own datetime library
- a core ‘frontend’ experience that easily adapts to static/SPA/widgets etc…
- The Plugin architecture
- Future plans
Next Steps
LearnHow
- Finish resource structure
- Make a mockup
- Implement it
- Finish wizard
- Start on CSS article
Knight.works
- fix link issue
- currently using cockpit for articles, decide to keep or move to github files
FrontierJS
- decide to carrd or not
- create splash page content
- create mockup
- implement via carrd or frontier
