2018-04-22 Bi-Weekly Recap


I’m Malaysia since April 15th. I’m back in Melaka. It has been a while since I last wrote a Recap. I was in Australia and it has been very intense. Very little time to sit down, reflect and write. Also I didn’t work much. I break the code of the new website system. A good move #Happy. My usual room in a traditional Chinese house[/caption]

Website

No changes

Coding

Learning-cards

The major move was to finalized the GraphQL / Appolo implementation. I struggled a bit with custom scalar types to integrate GraphQL and PostgreSQL. I can say that now the software stack is complete and operational.

  • The schema is now automatically created and updated on PostgreSQL
  • cards are stored in the local storage for fast and offline access.
  • local storage is rehydrated whenever you are online

 As of today, you can:

  • Watch videos
  • Flip a card

Next Actions:

  • Implement Authorization and user management.
  • Connect with the xAPI LRS I wrote in December. the LRS will collect all significant user actions like a super log system. GraphQL and Apollo will offer a unified access to the data.
  • Add and document more stories

Learning-cards Design

mechanical Turk but for learning card design.

You will find the form here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqalAC15ah4W9xcXrpZhDrvadvC0yp0mS3DTzA6AJ0ICcFbQ/viewform?usp=sf\_link

Next Actions:

  • Complete the Google Form, possibly move it to an HTML form as it becomes more complex.
  • Design myself a few cards of my own

Devops

A DevOps toolbelt has been installed with private github repos, Jenkins, ansible, docker etc.. An instance was published to a test server on Internet. It’s a _very_ early release. Recent efforts were placed on the infrastructure, which works, not on UX or features. It may be up and down as I make more changes.

Next Actions:

  • Split all microservices into Docker containers,
  • Start a kubernetes server on AWS for the orchestration of production servers.

What I’m reading

Same

  • .

What else am I doing

  • I renewed and secured the Kneaver trademark.
  • I finalized the trip, secured all plane tickets.

Action:

  • Cross the strait of Melaka to Sumatra in Indonesia and travel to Surabaya

that’s all folks
