🥂Cheers to having a bigger YES. Keep up the writing streak. Clearly, your focus on writing is evident!!

Catalin Pit , I totally agree with your points. Sometime back, I wrote a series of DIY your own web presence and part of it is on getting a domain name.

Good to know. I'm particularly curious of a great tool for JSON to Markdown conversion. Json2MD doesn't cut it for me hence using a tool that you write in MD and you can backup, quickly edit, and is accessible is a big one for me.

My pleasure. 2 more to go

I would suggest: Netlify CSM Strapi ButterCMS Out of the three options in that list, I have only used the first one, Netlify CMS with Gatsby. The setup should be similar, I think. It gives you the options of (one) updating/ creating a markdown file and pushing to GitHub or (two) using an admin dashboard where you create/edit/delete the posts/pages that are in the background still markdown files.

Thanks Joan for this post. Especially adding the bit about: when a PR cannot be automatically created 😀

Congrats Bankole Ahmed All the best in your new role. I couldn't find a way to DM you so here's some feedback: I would recommend breaking your content into paragraphs. That really aids your readers. Cheers.

Questions from the chat (truncated to include questions and comments to the questions) Most were answered during the call. 14:01:51 EAT From Mark Ng'ang'a : We’re live. From Ho Slack : Please walk through the JS file for a second. From Stanley Ndagi : Ho Slack, please remember to ask Muchai to do that after she's concluded From Ryan Marvin : Please feel free to post any questions that come to mind here and Muchai will answer them at the Q&A at the end From Moffat : Question: I noticed in some places, the boolean operator “OR” is used as “ | “ and in other places “ || “. Do they have any difference? From joy warugu : what's the difference between types and interfaces and when do you choose one over the other From creez : +100 @ joy From Bonny Mwenda : How do you go about introducing typescript to an old code base? Eg, what are the best practices From Stanley Ndagi : Do you setup files and include @ the same time in the .tsconfig? Or does include disregard the files? From creez : I normally see people using custom types and others using interfaces…What is the difference and when should I use types over interfaces and vice verser. From Paul Kiplimo Morogo : is there a standard naming pattern for interfaces? I see a lot of them defined with prefix ‘I’ ie IUser, IResponse etc From Ho Slack : Yeah @ Bonny’s Question. Can I introduce Typescript in my react JS codebase without breaking other things? From Stanley Ndagi : Difference between .tsx and .ts file extensions? From Moffat : Does the compilation step affect the performance of TS compared to JS? From creez : Tax is when you have tsx in your code base ts is when you aint using jsx From Kelvin Chirchir : How do you handle a function that returns a Promise From Mo : Why not put the JS files in the same folders as the TS files? From Brian Odhiambo : @ stanley .tsx is syntax sugar. Typescript XML - Mostly for React not sure about Vue. …. .ts a typescript file From Lemayian : I understand that I can use ts-node to run typescript code directly, but I have not seen this being used in production. Does this mean that typescript is less performant than JS? Basically, why can’t I just run TypeScript straight on my web server without transpiling to JS? From joy warugu : the qn about type set user | null and ?... they aren't the same .. opro From Gilbert N : At what instance do we declare our own types using declare keyword. From joy warugu : optional ? means you whatever can be undefined..not null From joy warugu : so it would be the same as user | undefined From Lemayian : Interface vs Types: ducba.com/typescript-type-vs-interface/ From creez : Yeah Thanks @ josee From Paul Kiplimo Morogo : @ Lemayian TypeScript is simply a superset of JavaScript which allows us the advantages of a statically typed language during development but it still has to be transpiled to normal JS From zacharianjoroge : Can we say that interfaces allow polymorphism like in Java From david ngugi : Interfaces simply just describe the structure of say a class…it’s properties and methods From Austin Roy : There’s also a great cheat sheet for TS with React From Paul Kiplimo Morogo : Typescript is like a stubborn and hard-headed spouse but with minimal maintenance, JavaScript is the easygoing and fun partner who can drag your marriage through hell in the long run
