My Lightweight Noteboard 1.0

This week, I have been making a small open source project which I call"My Lightweight Noteboard". Reference to the app: Source Code | Github-hosted Page What can the app do? "My Lightweight Noteboard" is a fairly simple web application allowing you to put sticky notes overlayed on its website. The reason  I call it "lightweight" is that the notes are locally stored in a virtual file system in the browser. This is achieved through the use of the Filer.js library. The app's user interface with 3 notes added The app was created by plain JavaScript, HTML and CSS with the help of jQuery UI and Bootstrap 4 libraries. With these old-schooled technologies, the app facilitates a range of features including: Adding an unlimited number of notes Leaving note overlayed at any position on the "noteboard" area.

Discord.Js References : Github Repository | Website One of the first projects attract my eyes when I was browsing on Github trending list is this one. To begin with... What is Discord?

Project Telescope and upcoming open source contributions

-
Hacktoberfest 2019 ended leaving me waiting to receive a very cool tee and highly motivated to keep contributing to open source. Release 0.3 is coming up with me having to contribute to an internal project and an external one. 1. Project Telescope This is an internal project of DPS 909, the class of Fall 2019. The goal of this project is to build a more robust web application to replace the current Planet CDOT - a collection of blog posts in the topics of Open Source Software posted by students, professors and researchers at Seneca College - to overcome a number of issues such as obsolete technologies, crashing due to users' errors and the fact that the page is very old. Therefore, we want to rewrite the web app as an Open Source project to fix the existing issues and enhance it on a newer platform with newer technologies. The project is going to be led by the professor of DPS 909 but it is going to be a collaborative product of 50+ students in the course. Although I...
