Overall, great week so far! Can't wait to see more next week! :D

Released my first-ever game - Sunday DEV Drive, and it turned out way better than I expected, that's the biggest win. 🎮✨

I've already started working on another personal project that I plan to release in a few weeks.

At the same time, I have two more large personal projects in progress. They'll take much longer to finish, but they're going to be really good if everything goes the way I've planned. 🚀🚀🚀

Exciting times!

This week, launched git-lrc on various platforms.

Received great validation that it’s helping many devs.

I learned a lot from dev.to.

Thanks to @ben and @jess for building such an incredible platform.

Thanks to the community for the support and stars, we hit 200 yesterday!!

Thank you for sharing this. was feeling down. It's necessary to consider the wins no matter how how small.

Well I came back to Open source , after years of being away due to govt exams prep. Tried understanding one project, tried to deploy locally but couldn't. Searched for something else, some other project. Set it up locally today. With fully functioning. It was good. It felt good. Couldn't contribute, but setting up the project felt like an achievement. Also posted one blog over here about Linux learnings. 😁

Thank you..what about you?

Made another short YouTube video about mobile app deployment. It’s getting easier to create them! Hope it’s helpful for somebody out there.

Next, I’d like to learn about thumbnails and editing 😊

Thanks for asking! Just passed a little exam this morning. Gave myself a 50% chance. Then the rest of the day was just sunny :)

As the sun has come up after a dark winter, my motivation is slowly returning. Gotten a lot done at work in two days. That's my win.

I have finally kept the procrastinator energy on the back-seat and started documenting what I am doing + tiny experiments. Came back to dev.to after months and really happy to be back!

I had a very busy week-end ... for the DEV Challenge and got really interesting feedbacks around me
Now, I'm looking forward to see if the ideas I developed could be used at a larger scale for implemenint a smart city like KPI.

Upgraded a Moodle LMS without a safety net (backups/snapshots). There just wasn't enough space on the VM to hold all three 'items'. And I did it under my projected maintenance window with lots of time to spare.
