Final Devlog!

• Added a “show more” movies button. Now users are not limited to the first 10 search results that come from the OMDb API

• Refactored README to include technical details about the website & how to run it locally

Next step is shipping! Lesgoo

Devlog #4

Almost finished my website! Yayy!
Updates:

• Added the ability to add & remove movies from your watchlist, finally
• Added quality of life improvements (a loading indicator, a style update when adding movies, and a fallback poster image)

Very happy with the progress I’m doing!

Devlog #3
Hello guys! This is the third Devlog of my worth-watch website
What I did:

• Added the ability to actually search for movies
• Learnt how to correctly use the OMDb (Open Movie Database) API

What’s next:

• I’ll add the ability to add movies to your watchlist & work on the watchlist page logic
• The current search only shows 10 results at first, I gotta add a “show more” button to show the rest of the movies

Happy coding!

Devlog 2 !!

• I added these cute labels for when there’re no movies to show in the page
• Spent almost 2 hours creating their css code, then I refactored other parts of the code to reduce redundancy & duplication
• It’s taking me too much time to write css by hand really, I’m still learning though and I think my css skills will get better with time hopefully 🙏🏻😁

Devlog #1

Worth Watch is a website where you can search for your favorite movies & add them to your watchlist

I finished the header & search sections HTML & CSS code
The most time consuming part was playing with values to make the header & search sizes responsive to different screens (I’m using plain CSS)

Final devlog + demo ✨

Finished working on botty!
How it works:

• you run ‘/botty-convert {amount} {base} to {target}’
• you can enter a decimal amount
• currency codes aren’t case-sensitive
• works with A LOT of different currencies

Technical parts:

• I used a regex to separate between values more dynamically
• I Learnt the difference between the built-in fetch & axios.get()

The hardest part was the error handling & creating intuitive error messages that depend on the error type.

Just finished my first working version of the slack bot mission!

What did I learn:

• How to create a bot and generate the API keys on slack
• How it’s important to wrap your API calls in a try & catch block or otherwise your app will stop working as soon as any error happens
• How much hack club is awesome and very guided! I thought that things will be hard but it turned out pretty easy, actually!

What I’m aiming to:

• I’ll probably turn it to be a currency convertor (for example, running ‘1 usd to euros’ should return 0.87 euros) because this sounds interesting.
