Last week happened a lot. I had a talk with David on Saturday, where we talked about a lot of features and changes to be implemented. The card design changed again, quite a lot. Maybe you notice one of the hardest to achieve changes ever made: The rows can overlap in the height. Before this change, the Test0 e.V. card would be pushed back down, when expanding the Card where I am with a hat. Now it doesn't. I achieved that by having three columns on the upper-level grid system and in every one of these columns is another grid system with one row that wraps all the columns in one column so they are like an own feed and only push back the card under them. I have a function, that distributes the data on the three independent grid systems. The construction has a disadvantage though: It is harder to design to look good on all devices. Another big change is the profile pictures in the upper right corner. Last but not least the three questions every organisation is asked are displayed...

Last week I didn't spend as much time as I hoped to spend on developing the voluntary work search platform. The reason was mostly that I was done with other things by 16. At 16 o'clock I couldn't sum up the energy to start something new. Maybe I should change my plans so that I always start working on the project at 14 o'clock. As soon as I start working on it, I will get motivated to solve the next and the challenge after that until it is 18 or even 20 o'clock. Despite that, I managed to change the card's design as agreed with David and I changed the impact areas, for categorisation of organisations, to what David figured out would make sense. The chips on the top are the impact areas. Before that change there were six, now there are ten. Maybe it is time to change the user interface. I could put the selector on the side. Then I would probably not use chips but checkboxes. I will speak about that with David. If I make the change, I will only make it for de...

Last weekend you could watch all the courses on Vuemastery for free. Actually they extended it to today, but I learned a lot already I want to implement what I learned in my current project as soon as possible. I could learn Nuxt.js today and make a Nuxt.js project tomorrow. Nuxt is like a framework for Vue, which is a framework itself. I am convinced of it's features, especially the best practice oriented structure and the possibility to make my app more search engine friendlier. I will definitely turn my App into a Nuxt.js App, but not right now. I have just bought the yearly membership at Vuemastery.com so I learn it whenever I like. My priority right now is to have a running minimum viable product as soon as possible and that collides with spending a few days learning Nuxt.js and figure out how to make and Nuxt App do what my Vue App does. I will give me just this one refactoring day, because my code has gotten really messy to a degree where I have to search for over half a min...

Welcome to my first devdiary. Traditionally we programmers start to count with zero and I hope you forgive me the joke calling it accordingly number zero.  Let's start at the beginning of my journey to this point. Don't worry I will not write anything about the Egyptians, the invention of the computer or my birth. It starts around a year ago, when I met with a guy named David. He works at the a voluntary association named kofee. It is a German acronym and translates to coordination office for volunteering and engagement (the french word). I am from Germany by the way and the app is in German, but no worry I will explain everything. kofee does exactly what the name says: They find a fitting voluntary work for you. Currently they do this by meeting people face to face, which has a capacity very limited by the size of the consulting team. When I met David, he presented me his idea of having a database with all the voluntary organizations, that the consultants and more importantly ...
