Now I think this is my 2nd or 3rd time saying I am back, but in all honestly I have been active everyday on slack reading and reacting just not posting. Welp hi! I have been busy with school, sports, and different projects. I am still working on the esports site I have been working on-here is a small little preview on some stuff I have been working on!
Site is a little more mobile friendly after today
Finally started working on the teams page today
Jumping back into work on the esports site
Hey everyone! It’s been quite a bit since I’ve been posting but I’m back…! I have stopped coding for a few weeks due to how busy I am and now that things have settled down I am finally jumping back in. First thing I am doing is starting up an old project I abandoned a while ago-redesigning my personal site!
After 399 days my streak has officially come to an end! This morning I got the painful message from @scrappy that I forgot to post last night. I completely meant to but it slipped my mind for the first time in 399 days, kinda upset I was one day off from 400! I probably won't be posting daily anymore to my scrapbook but I kept the streak going for a while so I think its time for a little break. Thanks to everyone who followed along for 399 days!
Spent the last little bit just catching up on slack since I’ve been offline for a day or two

After moving the submit projects form to airtable yesterday, I decided to also move the Code Masters sign up form to airtable so everything is in one place!
After launching Students Who Code yesterday I uncovered that the Submit Projects form was not working properly. I decided that instead of php I would use an Airtable form instead, which I think will work better!
Today was a very successful day! I launched Students Who Code, and so far it is doing great! Thank you everyone at Hack Club for your feedback.
I have been fixing small bugs that appear and have designed an alert to warn users about features that are down or not working. If you have any feedback on Students Who Code let me know!(studentswhocode.org)
Hey everyone!
After several months in the making and tons of advice and help, I am proud to announce the Students Who Code is now live!
Students Who Code allows users to sign up to get free course about computer science and learn different coding languages. Due to the lack of computer science education, Students Who Code goal is to increase students access to computer science and coding lessons.
Alongside our courses, Students Who Code has developed, Coding Connected; a community for users to share projects they have made, get help from Code Masters to ask questions or to get advice, and to participate in different events.
Right now we are only rolling out 6 courses, mainly based around HTML/CSS with advanced and new languages coming within the next couple weeks and month.
Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Love seeing the app I’m working on, on my phone! Need to change the name though so it has spaces 😂
Doing some minor work with swift
Finished Course 6. As of right now I am waiting to create more until after launch, the website will launch with 6 available courses.
Final design done for this part of Coding Connected! Time to start developing
Rough concept design of part of the Coding Connected page. The top two boxes are not fully designed yet
Created a launch plan for Students Who Code. It outlines which features will be coming after launch and what will be available at launch.
Updated the header graphic for the Coding Connected page.
Working on fixing bugs, adding minor updates, and preparing for the launch of the website soon
Working on Students Who Code website again. Redesigned the Featured Projects area, because I did not like the first version. The middle box text still requires some work
Created a rough design for the Project page in the app. Tomorrow will include finishing touches of the website and uploading the last course before launch!
Added a new page to the app-Coding ConnectedGot dark mode to work on the list. Happened by mistake but I like it 😂
Added the app icon inside of Xcode!
Major work to my To Do list feature. Got the list to work with delete and edit features, still some thing to fix though Added code to make the website button go to a website, right now I have it going to one of my other websites, and then when I put the Students Who Code website up I will change the link.Linked the home page of the app to the To Do list view The homepage to my new app is almost done, just need to add the navigation at the bottom.
First time coding in swift! Can't wait to get started on my app.

Working on a rough design of the To Do list feature of my Students Who Code app
Finishing up some details on the website before launching soon: added a section about Coding Connected and its features on the home page
Hi! I am creating a website and IOS app called "Students Who Code". Students Who Code will allow new coders access to free and easy courses(for students who don't want to pay or don't have access to CS education). And a page/feature called "Coding Connected" which will allow the users to chat with, Code Masters (high school coders) to get help and feedback and to submit projects. The website is almost done and will be launched soon!
The IOS app is what I plan to work on during Summer of Making! It will include a place to track your projects, create to do lists for coding, and get access to our Coding Connected features! This will be my first time building a Swift app! This is a rough concept of the home page for the app
