Today I visited Champlain College in Vermont, saw the løveli lakes, and observed a crucial typo
Updating my 2FA extension for Raycast to work with the new API!
Made some headway on the #hack-as-a-service CLI!
set up a code-server powered in-browser IDE (that I will probably never use)
:haas:some might call this a waste of time
they're absolutely correct
Some ask why, I ask why not.
musical musingsWrote a frontend test for #hack-as-a-service!!!!!!fixed a semi-major #hack-as-a-service bug by adding one character :yuh:
all of my posts are literally code screenshots but here's another one (this time I added Cypress-powered testing to the #hack-as-a-service frontend)
hey look it's a database transaction :postgres:
doin' what i do best (code, that is)
interesting stuff that happened today:
• I randomly got Xcode 13 (and it has Vim mode)
• gadzooks.me now uses Next.js ~🤮~
• I won a :pop-os: coaster(???)
messing around with custom psql prompts :postgres:
i have nothing interesting to say so here's a starbucks email that almost caused the collapse of reality as we know it
made the #hack-as-a-service docs (hackclub.app/docs) look cooler (and work on mobile) :yeah:
I hate email so much that I wrote a horrendous non-spec-client SMTP server in ~2 hours at midnight
✉️ send an email to anything@mail.calebden.io and it'll get forwarded to #calebs-steps (unless it breaks which it probably will)
fun facts:
• doesn't support TLS
• doesn't check message signatures
• uses regex + some cursed logic to extract the message
• actively violates several parts of the SMTP specification
and the github: github.com/cjdenio/bad-mail-server
I don't know if you need to see a turtlesnail today, but we all do at some point so here you go 💖

Just figured out this fun cross-site cookie thing 🍪
basically i had a frontend and backend on different hosts, and had to get the backend's cookies to get sent along with the frontend's requests to it :blobfearsweat:

Big news: scrapbooks now have RSS feeds! 🎉 Visit yours by appending .rss to the end of your scrapbook's URL, e.g. scrapbook.hackclub.com/caleb.rss (doesn't support custom domains)
You should also be able to run /feed subscribe <https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/username.rss> to subscribe a Slack channel to your scrapbook, but I admittedly haven't tried it.
Thanks @sampoder for helping out! :sam-1:
just a friendly test post
one more dinopoll update before i go to sleep :interested_dino:
the polling dino has its own workflow step now, so you can automate the creation of polls! 📈
Some exciting new @undefined updates! :confused-dino:
• First off, polls now have a handy-dandy progress bar ███████ to let you know how popular an option is at a glance :eyes_squint:
• Second off, you can now create polls that allow other people to add options; super handy if you're looking for recommendations or project name/domain ideas! (it's also a super sneaky way of adding more than 4 options to a poll :blobninja:)
packs bags
also made this little clicking animation using a fancy CSS selector with a Bulma modalset up public analytics for my website!

6 months ago, I didn't know anyone my age interested in coding. While my past self didn't recognize it, I deeply needed a community of like-minded, and similarly aged, individuals. Then I discovered Hack Club, and everything changed. I was introduced to a brave new world where ability isn't confined by age, it's allowed to blossom. A world where even a high school student can, with the help of others, make truly significant contributions to the today's world. From the second I joined, I've been continually blown away by how much Hack Club has impacted me and others.
And this all started, a bunch of years ago, by one man with a vision.
Soooo... happy birthday @zrl! 🎂 You're nothing short of awesome, and I hope you have an amazing day! 🎉
Ayyyy look at that number
LaTeX is amazing :fastparrot:
Tryin' to build Alacritty from source :linux:

Here's my first multistage Docker image!
I'm gonna try to get @scrappy to react with as many emojis as possible, for no particular reason.
When we arrived in space, there were shouts of "yay!" and "hooray!" I wanted to sleep, but the sunset was much too captivating. As I struggled to paint a representation of the masterpiece, my art was cut short by a reminder of our predicament. Our ship's Linux core had been damaged by a rain storm. Upon further inspection, is appeared as though the Rust installation on our ship's robot had been corrupted. We debated which language to replace it with; "Golang!" Matt said. "Swift!" Linus shouted. "Deno!" "JavaScript!" We decided on rewriting the robot's code using minecraft redstone (that way we didn't have to use npm). 15 years later, once we finished, we pushed to the GitHub repository. But wait! The robot's hardware was also severely crippled. We had to 3d print some parts, after getting the models from Google.
Started work on an Uno game renderer in React (Slack bot to come) :unoreverse:
Ah yes, Slack bots written in Go :gopher:
Relax
Coming soon...
Today I switched from bash to fish! 🐟

I'm proud to present... 🎉 :scrappyparrot:<https://scrapbook.hackclub.com/caleb|My new Scrapbook profile!> 🎉 :scrappyparrot: Featuring a lovely beach scene with a captivating sunset, this theme is kinda decent in my (humble) opinion.
Some fun facts about it:
• Every 4 minutes, the sun sets, then rises ☀️
• It's 100% CSS animations! No GIFs were harmed in the making of this scrapbook. :parrot:
• The bird's name is Garry. 🐦 He really like skiing, and wants to become a professional ski jumper someday. ⛷️
• It doesn't work on mobile, and it'll actually warn you if you try to view it on a small screen! 📱
• I used many much pseudo-elements 🖼️
Check it out (on desktop, please)! scrapbook.hackclub.com/caleb

github.com/cjdenio/contributor_list
Figured I'd share some recent updates to Replier! 🤖
✨ Cool feature 1: Autoreplies in DMs now only get sent once every 15 minutes. That way you can still have a conversation, even if you're on vacation! 🌴
✨ Cool feature 2: Your autoreply will now get triggered if someone mentions you in a channel or multi-person DM. It even works in threads! 🎉
That's all, folks! Remember to check it out on GitHub:githubparrot:!
I'm proud to announce the launch of Replier, a Slack app for setting up autoreplies! 🤖 🎉 Going on vacation or taking a break from Slack? 🌴 Cover all your bases by automatically letting people know. Try it out here!
Replier is open-source on GitHub, so feel free to open issues, contribute, or give it a 🌟!

Baby ship: You can now post messages with newlines using the Ship CLI. 🚀
Hey there from another line! 👋
OK, football noob here. 🏈 I know nothing about the game, the scoring, or why it even exists. 🤷♂️ But I am a TV broadcast nerd, so I made a CSS version of the 2019 NFL score bug! It also happens to be my first project using CSS Grid.
Most of the CSS classes are like whitething and yellowthing 'cause I actually don't know what they are 😂

Finally sitting down and learning React. :react: I still like Vue better, but maybe that'll change, who knows?
I'm sticking this in here 'cause it's not every day @zrl comments on your ship 😊
