Hide options and started an eBook reader website - Dev Diary 11.04.2020

-


After my last dev diary, I thought about what actually is needed for a minimum viable product of my voluntary work job-search site and it is actually not that much. I didn't really develop a lot this week. The only thing I implemented is the option to hide the options. Even that is not that important right now, but it was fast to do it. There are just some texts missing and then we can make it available for the first organisations. We will first introduce the website to five organisations so that they can give us feedback. Before it can be released however there are some legal texts, that we have to put on the site since the Germany law demands it. An admin area is needed as well. We can't allow anyone to put content on our site. We have to allow every NGO's representation first and we have to see every change they make. The admin console should allow us to make them visible or invisible. That is what I plan to develop next week.


I also started a second project, that is a lot smaller and should be finished soon. I found my blog to be improper to publish an eBook and Wattpad is also not the right platform for my taste. So I am making a simple eBook Reader website for Tales of Nowardo. When you start the page you can choose a scene you want to read. The default option is to start from the start of course.
After pressing on "read" you can read the scene and with the arrow keys under the text, you can navigate to the next, last or first scene. What do you think about my reader? There is only some legal stuff missing, you know Germany demands it. Maybe next week I will even have a link to it.

A painful loss - Tales from Nowardo #1

Image
"Sleep well, good night and ring alarm on the sight of white light...", Jarek sang to calm the Kukuruza, a two-meter high yellow glowing corncob formed plant. It had closed its impenetrable shell as it heard Jarek kicking a stone while trying to sneak up to it. The singing worked. The Kukuruza lowered its shell.  While Jarek continued singing good night songs from his childhood he raised his harvesting tool, a chainsaw formed like a two-handed sword, into position. After the second repetition, he rammed the sword into the unprotected flesh of the Kukuruza. It screamed so loud, that Jarek's ears would bleed if they hadn't been protected. Splinter flew through the air, acid juice squirted out of the wound and Jarek had to duck a vine. Thanks to his gardening uniform, an Exoskeleton-Suit, he was well protected. Suddenly a vine grabbed, levitated and slammed him and the floor. Jarek could barely take a breath as it levitated him again.  This plant was much stronger t

A Bloody Mouth - Tales from Nowardo #2

Jarek barely survived his encounter with the Kukuruza. The first thing he did was lying down. His heart was still pounding. He had to calm down. He had to think. “I have lost everything today.”, he muttered to himself, “my armoured suit and even my grandfather’s knife. What will become of me now?” It was a painful loss. Almost as painful as his broken leg and scratched face. “Stop this!”, he yelled at himself,” I can mourn my losses when I am in safety. I didn’t survive the vines to lay down and die now.” He repressed his thoughts about his past and his probable future. If he couldn’t focus right know there would be no possible future. “Step one”, he said to himself, “check pockets.” He had to use his left hand because his right hand was still burning from the Kukuruza juice. Three Kukuruza bars, a bottle of water and a bottle of Kwirza, fermented Kukuruza juice, were all his pockets revealed. The Kwirza was exactly what he needed right now. He drank the bottle in one go. “Step two”,

A man with sharp teeth - Tales of Nowardo #3

-
Commander Oswield sat in his enormous armchair and stare into the air as he often did when he had to make a difficult decision. Despite the huge size of the armchair, it seemed tiny in comparison to the man in it and at the same time he had an elderly look. He was often compared with a mountain: Huge and ancient. After a minute of starring, Flenk became inpatient. "So, what do we do about the digging-creatures plague? We don't want to end up eaten alive as it happened in bunker#7. Do we?", he asked again. Flenk tended to use chairs different than other people. He had squatted in the seat across Oswield and seesawed from side to side. He was not what one would expect the second most feared warrior of the camp to look like. He was small and thin, but what his opponents had to find out was, that he was also fast, nimble and precise. Just as Oswield was about to give an answer, someone came into the door. It was Gidgig, one of the warriors of "the camp". That was h
