🏴‍☠️Pirates Cove Today - App Demo and Skill Build🦜

Today at Pirates Cove we had a round-robin discussion about self-built apps. One community member showed an app he built: a website scraper tool he manages. While he was talking, I started thinking that would make a good skill, so I started building it on the side and told him I was doing that. I used it as a twofold demo:

To show how to build something scalable
To demonstrate the power of skills

My point in the discussion is that I like to focus on the mechanics of something first, before I look at the UI. If everything is working (the engine, the transmission, the chassis), putting something on top of that is pretty easy. I don’t work from the UI backwards because I did that once and it was horrible.

Here’s a short video I made after. Again, the main reason I made the video is that I’m still playing with my video editing skill.

Living without fear is all part of the fun of building.
