Here is such a good story, about the beauty of open source repositories, building tools, speaking to leaders and players in all corners of this chain.
I was paying attention to one of those "below the fold" channels in the dCity discord, having to do with "beeswap", which happens to be my go-to favorite site for clicking buttons on the internet... and a regular occurance there is out of hundreds and thousands of swaps, one or two will fail for some reason or another.
To help this process, a user who I believe is @arbitra (and who also runs a HBD > Swap.HBD service 👀😍), shared some code with us all to make this process easier.
Now "small, ugly page" (my team calls these "weather apps", check final image in this post), is dev speak for web-basics html/css/javascript. There is no fancy framework, and this is exactly the way to open source code. As soon as I saw what was offered in the discord, self-deprecating and all, I knew what move to make!
PM to the rescue!
Well there you have it. Its almost always this way - friendly helpful people "do things", and would just be happy to share if it was useful to someone. So - we did the deed!
Here is the specific space in our HiveTools Repo:
https://github.com/TheCrazyGM/hivetools/blob/master/site-tools/search_tx/index.html
@thecrazygm did his thing, chagrinned as I was, and now anyone can access this great code from @arbitra!
So while we have not hosted this one yet, is this something someone would use? Perhaps some modification of it could be very powerful, it has a new place in my brain space now and we are aware of it and may build on or off of it for future tools. For now, it lives in the github! And that, is valuable.
Weather Apps:
The "inside baseball" speak about "weather apps" comes from this famous meme, so I will close this post today sharing it with you:
As always, leave some love on this post, whether its votes (devs are beneficiaried) or your motivating comments. It really helps us keep going with high energy - lot's more to come!
