After a dumpster fire of a year, I took some time to learn some new things. I’m going to put that new found knowledge into redesigning/rewriting the PocketBus app. Make it bigger and better and hopefully more useful.

I just reserved my username at Lemon Squeezy for a chance to win a MacBook Pro worth $1299. You should too! lemonsqueezy.com/?ref=Yj4R0 via @lemonsqueezy Really looking forward to what this is about.

Just uploaded the latest version of Pocketbus (pocketbus.app). Added filter by route to stops. Tap one or more route # at the top and presto, schedule is updated to show only those. A lot easier to implement that I thought it would be. #vuejs #winnipeg #winnipegdev

Just uploaded the first part of phase two. Pocketbus.app now has the ability to search for stops by location, street name and stop number. It's a little rough, but still being refined. #vuejs #web #webapp #wpgdev #winnipeg
I just spend 3 hours trying to fix a problem that wasn’t a problem… the good news is, in my research to solve the non-problem I learned a better implementation. #silverlining #wpgdev #webapp
Started working on the menu. Still thinking about how to animate this, but I’ll worry about that after I get the functionality working. #webapp #wpgdev #app

OMG, spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my xpath wasn’t working in php… namespace, namespace, namespace. #wpgdev #webapp #simplexml
And with that update comes the end of phase one. Phase two will see search by street/cross street with suggestions and more UX refinements.
First update just went live. Minor UX tweaks, disabling dbl tap to zoom and a bit of optimisation. #webapp #wpgdev #winnipeg pocketbus.app
pocketbus.app has launched. Very basic right now, can just enter stop number for the next bus times. Baby steps, but feels great to get something up and working. Next time you're waiting for a bus, give it a try. More to come in 2020 #wpgdev #webapp #vuejs #winnipeg

Really loving #vuejs. Should be launching a very basic, “phase one” app within a week. Yay! #wpgdev #webapp

The one downside to using Vue and external APIs is the cross origin issue. Had to set up a proxy to handle all requests. The upside, I now have a proxy setup I can use with any future sites. Something I wanted to do eventually anyway. #webapp #winnipegdev
Finally able to put some quality time into developing. Hoping to get something functional up soon. Loving #vuejs so far. Glad I went with it. #winnipegdev
I’m 40% through this course and it has been fantastic. The 2nd @udemy course on VueJS I’ve bought and by far my favourite. Want to learn #vuejs, I highly recommend @thenetninjauk’s udemy.com/course/build-web-a…
Finally settle on a design for my Pocketbus app #winnipegdesign #webapp #web
