𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫 Last week threw us a curveball with those pesky network issues But hey, every challenge is just an opportunity to try something. Scratch that abeg. Ain't gonna lie! I was bored senseless. What's me without Figma? 😩😩 I mean, who knew I'd be forced to dust off my physical books? 😂 With Robert Greene’s book giving me the bombastic side-eye. I couldn't read for 5 minutes without picking up my phone. I read but I'm so used to E-books that I've neglected physical books. In Brother Shaggi’s voice “My bad” I'm currently considering looking for an activity that doesn't require me staring at my screen. Tennis is at the top of my list. And of course, be intentional about reading physical books. I miss highlighting those powerful and insightful content as I do with my Bible. As we kick off a brand new week, I'm feeling grateful that things are finally back to normal. Here's to smoother connections, faster downloads, and uninterrupted design sessions. So, what's on your agenda for the week ahead? Whether you're diving into a new project, upskilling with online courses, or simply taking some well-deserved me-time, I hope it's nothing short of amazing. Wishing y'all a great week ahead. #NewWeekNewGoals #productowner #MondayMotivation #techies #productdesigner

🌟 Embracing Challenges: From Frustration to Triumph! 🚀 Excited to announce the launch of my latest website! This project wasn't just about coding and design—it was a journey of perseverance and growth. It threw unexpected hurdles my way, testing my patience and skills. There were moments when I hit roadblocks, but each setback became a stepping stone. Through late nights and tough decisions, I learned that the path to success isn't always smooth, but it's always worth it. This website isn't just pixels on a screen; it's a testament to overcoming challenges and pushing boundaries. While it may not be as smooth as a original Cuberto website , I've poured 90% of my effort into it, striving for that 100% perfection. Join me in reliving this journey through my latest video. 🎥 Let's inspire each other to turn frustrations into victories! waiting for your valualble feedbacks!!! #WebDevelopment #Perseverance #TriumphOverChallenges #WebsiteLaunch #GrowthMindset

I'm usually not big on New Year's Resolutions. I think this is because you can make a resolution any time, to change a habit, or to try to reach a goal. Why save them all up for one day and then get discouraged when you are falling short?? At the beginning of this year, I did set a couple of goals though that I saw as achievable, and it's been going well. It helps that these are both things I love to do! They are to: 1. Swim at least 100 miles over the course of 2024. 2. Build more frontend projects. As a Bootcamp Lead at Scrimba, I put together coding workshops, do code reviews, facilitate weekly meetups, offer mentoring, and more. But I had gotten out of the habit of building my own projects! I'm happy to say that so far in 2024, I have swum over 75 miles already! And the way that I have kept track of the distance I'm swimming was by building an app just for that purpose - Axolotl Mileage. 😊 I think that one other thing that would have been - and still can be! - a good goal for me this year is to #BuildInPublic. While my swim distance tracker app is in a working state, and actually looking pretty good, I think that I can still make improvements and add features. I'll share the site in the comments, and hopefully will be posting updates throughout the rest of 2024 as I continue to refine and improve my product. How has this year been for you? Did you set New Year's goals, or is there a goal you want to set for yourself now? We can make these resolutions any time! You don't have to wait 4 more months!

Here is a prototype video for the 'Pause n Play' software which we made during the Sandbox Design Hackathon 2.0, organized by Chitkara Design School, Chitkara University. How does this work? Customizable Break Techniques: Users can choose their preferred break-taking technique, such as the Pomodoro technique, 52-17 rule, or customize their own. Notification System: Users receive proactive notifications during work sessions, encouraging them to take breaks. If they click on the notification, they enter the break zone. If they close the notification, they receive a follow-up reminder emphasizing the importance of breaks. Limited Skip Option: Users have the option to 'Skip this break,' but only two skips are allowed per day. If they exceed the limit, they are forced to take a break, preventing burnout and promoting healthy work habits. Break Zone: Upon entering the break zone, users are presented with a suggestion for activities they can do during the break. They can choose from options like playing a game, practicing mindfulness, or engaging in a physical activity. Game Roulette: In the gaming option, users can spin a roulette wheel to select a nostalgic game to play during their break, such as Super Mario Bros. This adds an element of fun and nostalgia, making the break more enjoyable and engaging. Mindfulness and Activity Options: Users can also choose to engage in mindfulness exercises or participate in suggested screen-free activities to relax and recharge during their break period. Kindly write your thoughts about this project in the comments. Also, you can read through the research and the process we followed by checking this Behance project: https://lnkd.in/dEYz29xw

Ever felt like you're holding yourself back? Last year, I created so much content… but never shared it. Why? Imposter syndrome. It’s real, and it held me back. ✨ I’d spend hours designing, refining, and planning. Yet, every time I thought about posting, self-doubt would creep in. 💻 Here’s the truth: I have a folder full of amazing ideas, content, and even Figma designs that never saw the light of day. (I’ll share a sneak peek below 👇) But today, I'm taking a step forward. Sharing even the unfinished work is better than hiding it. ✅ Don’t let perfection stop progress. ✅ Don’t let fear win over action. I’m starting with this post. What’s something you’ve been holding back from sharing? #GrowthMindset #ImposterSyndrome #DesignLife #ShareYourWork

Reflections on Completing My Portfolio Project Introduction I'm thrilled to share the journey of completing my portfolio project. This project has been a culmination of dedication, perseverance, and a lot of learning. Our team, comprised of John Smith, Jane Doe, and myself, embarked on this journey with a clear purpose: to develop a web application that helps users find the best cycling routes in urban areas. Throughout the project, I focused on front-end development and user experience design. Tell a Personal Story Everyone on our team enjoys riding bicycles, so it was an easy project focus to agree upon. For me, bicycling has always been the best way to get around. In past jobs, I've been able to commute by bicycle so that I could get my workout in before and after work. Accomplishments Summary Throughout this project, we have achieved significant milestones. Our application serves urban cyclists who seek optimal routes with the least elevation. We utilized HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python to create a seamless user experience. Some notable features include: Integration with Google Maps API to display cycling routes. User authentication and profile management. Responsive design for mobile accessibility. Most Challenging Technical Challenge One of the most challenging technical hurdles we encountered was implementing OAuth via Facebook for user authentication. Early in the project, we decided to provide a save feature for users so that they could return to the app and review their cycling routes. To implement Facebook OAuth, our project needed to be deployed and secured through SSL. With only a few days left before the deadline, we faced difficulties in receiving the login token from Facebook. After reaching out to Facebook's developer forums and collaborating with experienced engineers, we successfully resolved the issue and integrated OAuth authentication into our application. What I've Learned This project has been an incredible learning experience. I've gained insights into front-end development, back-end integration, and user authentication. It has reaffirmed my passion for creating user-centric applications and collaborating with diverse teams. This project has equipped me with valuable skills and experiences that will guide my engineering path in the future.

🎉 GoOn 🚀 I am very exited to announce big steps and milestone on our project journey : The official name of our project is GoOn! Today we had created the design and the prototype for GoOn . The process was full of creativity and designing as we moved out of our comfort zones explored some exciting UI’s. Figma designing helped us in giving a blueprint of how our project will be. This is what we did throughout our day:- 1. Page Inclusion Planning 👨💻 Today we started off with giving our project a face. The very first thing that we did was we set up a max limit of how many pages can our project consists of. Then all of the team members started exploring various websites to take some inspiration from them. We made a list of all the features which can be included in the project. The exploration helped us think out of the box. Then we all discussed and finalised the number of pages our project will be having.   2. FIGMA 👨💻 In the designing of Figma we all started working for the pages to prepare them with amazing UI's. One of our member had taken the responsibility of creating the Components of the project while the second members took up the responsibility of creating the pages and the outline of the pages and the third member had to put in the necessary data of the project along with creating the login and logout page. Our main focus was on creating an eye catchy and a unique UI hence we went for a colour palette of black, turquoise green and light green. For the images rather than going for realistic images we included animated images. And that’s it for the day see ya’ll tomorrow
