I rewrote my personal fork of Elpea, a music discovery app, from scratch using SvelteKit. The migration included visual improvements like using album cover art as a semi-transparent background, along with better reactivity so the interface updates more smoothly.
Directus is an open-source headless CMS. Its JavaScript SDK had a bug where users would get unexpectedly logged out after refreshing the page, even though their login session was still valid. I fixed it so the SDK automatically checks and refreshes the login token when it starts up, keeping users properly signed in.
Bubi Bikes is an app I built for checking Budapest’s bike-sharing system. The app fetches data from an external API, but browsers block those requests for security reasons unless they go through a proxy. I updated the proxy the app uses so it could keep working.
Elpea is a music discovery app. When you searched for an artist and got no results, the page would just show a blank area, which was confusing. I added a friendly message that appears when no results are found, so users know their search didn’t turn up anything rather than wondering if the app is broken.
Elpea is a web app I worked on at Traist. I updated the mockup screenshot in the repo to reflect the latest design of the application.
Elpea is a music discovery app. I upgraded it to the latest version of Next.js (the web framework it’s built on) and fixed a few bugs that came up during the upgrade, including one related to how device information is passed to the music player.
TinaCMS is a Git-backed headless CMS. I added documentation explaining how to use Next.js’s built-in image optimization component with TinaCMS, including the benefits it provides and important caveats developers should be aware of.
TinaCMS is a Git-backed headless CMS for editing Markdown content. I updated the documentation on the TinaCMS website to reflect changes that were made in the main TinaCMS repo, keeping the docs in sync with how the code actually works.
TinaCMS is a content management system that lets you edit Markdown files visually. The docs had a code example that could crash if the editor hadn’t fully loaded before the cleanup code ran. I added a check to make sure the editor is actually ready before trying to clean it up, preventing the error.
TinaCMS is a Git-backed headless CMS for editing content. Their docs had a code example showing how to dynamically load the editor, but the example was missing a cleanup step that prevents memory leaks in React. I added the missing cleanup function so developers copying the example would get working, production-ready code.
TinaCMS is a content management system that lets you edit website content visually. I fixed a gap where developers using a shortcut function to create editing forms couldn’t customize things like the icon or layout style. Now those options can be passed through directly, so you don’t need a workaround.
Traist is a company website I worked on. I integrated Chatwoot, an open-source live chat widget, so visitors to the site can start a conversation directly from the page. I also fixed a small performance issue with font loading along the way.
TinaCMS is a Git-backed headless CMS for editing Markdown content. The docs had a code example for fetching files from GitHub that was using the wrong parameters, which would have confused anyone copying it. I fixed the example so it actually works.
TinaCMS is a content management system with a visual editing toolbar that sits at the top of the page. I contributed a CSS trick to the docs showing how to push your site’s own sticky menus below TinaCMS’s toolbar, so they don’t overlap and hide each other.
I upgraded the Traist company website to use SASS modules, a more modern way of organizing CSS stylesheets that keeps styles neatly scoped and easier to maintain. I also improved some of the typography along the way.
ApostropheCMS is a Node.js content management system. I spotted a typo in one of the documentation page headings and submitted a quick fix to correct it.
UploadFS is a Node.js library for storing files in cloud storage like Amazon S3. I noticed the docs were missing information about how to configure a custom S3 endpoint (which you need if you’re using an S3-compatible service that isn’t AWS), so I added that documentation.
ApostropheCMS is an open-source content management system. I updated the codebase to use the newer “prompts” library instead of the older “prompt” library for handling interactive command-line input during the 3.0 rewrite.
Ackee is a self-hosted, privacy-focused web analytics tool. I fixed a few spelling mistakes in the codebase.
Umami is a privacy-focused web analytics tool (like a simpler, open-source alternative to Google Analytics). When using MySQL as the database, special characters weren’t being stored correctly because the database tables weren’t set up with the right character encoding. I fixed this by making sure tables are created with UTF-8 support, so all characters display properly.
