My weekend HTML5/CSS3/CodeIgniter project -SpotBright

http://173.255.210.56/codeigniter/index.php/auth/login Last week I had a phone interview with a local web development team. They mentioned that if I joined the team I would be working with CodeIgniter. My previous job was doing front end for a rails app so I was familiar with Model-View-Controller but I had never worked with CodeIgniter. In an effort to be better prepared for my in person interview (which was this morning BTW) I decided to spend the weekend in a personal hackfest building something with CodeIgniter.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

http://173.255.210.56/codeigniter/index.php/auth/login Last week I had a phone interview with a local web development team. They mentioned that if I joined the team I would be working with CodeIgniter. My previous job was doing front end for a rails app so I was familiar with Model-View-Controller but I had never worked with CodeIgniter. In an effort to be better prepared for my in person interview (which was this morning BTW) I decided to spend the weekend in a personal hackfest building something with CodeIgniter. SpotBright - Shine a light on your location I have been an avid user of Foursquare for about a year and have been fascinated by the idea of a private version for someone who wanted to track their location for whatever reason but didn’t want to broadcast it to the world. In this implementation the user creates an account and signs in. Once signed in the browser grabs their location and shows it on a map while at the same time saving it to localStorage and posting it to a MySQL database with AJAX. The page also shows the 15 most recent places that a user has checked in. Front-end: HTML5 geolocation - I am using .watchPosition() from the API previously known as HTML5 geolocation to get your location. For special sauce it saves your long and lat to HTML5 Local Storage as well as a MySQL database via AJAX. The rounded corners, drop shadows, and text drop shadows are all done with CSS3. Back-end: CodeIgniter was the framework and all of the data is saved to a MySQL database. This is my first time using CodeIgniter and I’m a convert. I’ll be back for more. In a perfect world Ideally you could log in with your Twitter or Facebook credentials. That is a feature that I intend to add. Keep in mind that this was built in order to show a potential employer that I can quickly grok a framework.

    My first weekend project.2012 · ▲40

    http://hiphopblend.com The website is responsive, so check it out on tablet/mobile, too! I'm currently working on adding more features to the website. It's my first official project since I started to learn programming (PHP). I would love to get an audio player in the site, which would scrape the blogs for new audio, but I'm having some difficult getting there. I really appreciate any feedback about the site at all! A little about me: I've been making Wordpress sites at a digital agency for almost 9 months now (from scratch). A few months ago I became really interested in learning…

I review it and activate it manually. I would love to hear any kind of feedback :) I posted it already on saturday, but probably it should be better in Show HN section.

    My weekend project, Hacker's Coffee2013 · ▲17

    Primary link: http://hackerscoffee.org I thought Coder’s Coffee (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4010355) was a great idea but disagreed with a few aspects of its execution (registration solely via linkedin, iOS app only, manual approval process, brittle: crashed every time I used it on my phone). I noticed the app had stopped working entirely last week, and went to the site (http://www.coderscoffee.com) to discover that the project seems to be no more. I re-implemented the concept, minus my grievances, in about 20 free hours I had last week (and also took the opportunity to make a…

    I launched my first solo side project2011 · ▲14

    Sysadmin is my bread and butter, but I taught myself PHP and have been coding on and off for the past 6 years. I've worked on numerous freelance gigs, but mainly internal apps that I use for my real job. I worked on this project (on and off) for the past year and I'm happy to finally release it to the public. Even if it doesn't succeed, I'm happy that I was able to "scratch an itch" I've had for the past couple of years. I wanted to make something and prove to myself that I can program. I'm not the greatest, but I'm proud of what I've achieved. http://www.ikeepm.com
