Blog Design
Today I’m working on the design of my blog. But since the blog is just a part of my notes that means I need to work on the design of my notes first.
Ok, let’s start with a snapshot of where things are right now:
After a couple of hours of playing around with things this is where I’ve ended up:
This design is really trying to pull the aesthetic of my paper notebook out into the web. I’m trying to kind-of match the color highlighters that I use and have it feel playful and rough. Text on a page is serious and feels authoritative- I want to tone that down. I want these notes to feel like I’m exploring and thinking and like this isn’t final.
This moves from a 2-column design to a 1-column design and removes the table of contents. That might be something that comes back in a future iteration.
Interview Prep
Today I worked on a problem to implement a function that takes a list of items and returns a list formatted with specific options. It came from greatfrontend. I’m now about 2% through their suggested interview prep.
I also took my development environment for working on these practice problems and packaged it up into a devcontainerso that I can spin up a Github codespace with the click of a button on any device.
