A School with Messages
Built out a basic messaging system—and wow, it already changes how the app feels. Being able to talk inside the platform makes it feel less like a tool and more like an actual place. It’s starting to feel like a school now.
New Year's Update
The latest update for FabLMS, and the first update of the new year. In this update I talk about the new features that were added, including class management and the new permissions.
The foundation for the three pillars is up
The core pieces are finally falling into place—auth, user roles, profiles, and even a working screen that feels like an actual app. It’s still early and rough, but the shape of the thing is there now. The foundation’s no longer just an idea—it’s starting to look real.
Locations are complete!
After lots of back and forth, the Locations feature is finally done—and it turned out way more polished than I expected. It’s one of those pieces that actually feels “done,” not just good enough to move on from. Small, solid wins like this keep the whole thing moving.
Goodbye Google!
After months of leaning on Google for servers, I finally made the move to drop it. It was simply too complicated for too much money. Digital Ocean so I can run my own damn server!
Only a month in between posts now
Finally hitting a rhythm again—just a month between posts this time! It feels good to have some momentum back, even if progress is still slow and mostly invisible. Not everything needs to move fast to move forward.
It's been a hard month
Life hit hard this month—between personal stress and mental burnout, not much moved forward. But I’m still here, still thinking, still quietly building. Sometimes showing up is all you can do—and that counts.
All caught up!
After a whirlwind of updates, I'm finally back on track with my posts. It's been a journey of juggling tasks and finding balance, but here we are—all caught up. Ready to dive into what's next.
Upgrades and decisions
This week, my brain wanted to sprint while the rest of me just needed a nap. Lots of ideas, lots of tabs open, not as much done as I hoped—but a few key pieces did fall into place. Sometimes it’s chaos, but it’s forward motion.
New website is UP!
Slowly but surely, the core is coming together—auth, profiles, roles, and even a first working screen. It's not polished, but it works, and that’s a huge step forward. The foundation’s finally taking shape.
Google Cloud Hell
Some weeks are tougher than others, and this one brought its fair share of distractions and burnout. Still, I managed to chip away at the work and keep the momentum going. It’s not flashy progress—but it’s progress.
Starting a Development Blog
Took the plunge and started building something that’s lived in my head for years. It’s rough, early, and barely functional—but it’s real now, and that’s what matters. Here's to that terrifying but exciting first step.
