A web application for interactive note cards targetting public speaking

Hi there 👋

I'm Jacob Sides, a passionate JavaScript developer, diving deep into front-end and headless technologies, staring at interactive 3D sites in the distance. If I'm not trying out a new JS framework, you'll find me gaming, jamming to music or attempting to pick up a new skill, whether it's the Bass or ASL.

My Work

I've been fortunate enough to work with fantastic designers at Pyxl to build out their visions.

Brownlee - A Next.js Shopify Plus Headless Ecommerce

Trimech - WordPress Woocommerce site with Vue.js search and archive functionalities

MLILY - WordPress Woocommerce site built with TailwindCSS, Twig and Vue.js archives

Talkiatry - WordPress site built with TailwindCSS, Twig and Vue.js archives

I have since been very fortunate to start working at DRC as a Software Developer.

Side Projects

All my repos here are primarily side projects that focus more concepts, teaching and tech-stacks rather than front-end development. Nonetheless, see how obsessed I am with the Spotify API.

concisely's Issues

Homepage

Layout of the homepage

Presentation Page

Page that the user sees when they begin presenting

Create functional keyword/card flipping logic

Write the logic for recognizing the use of and order of appearance of keywords, and determines when to flip the card.

Editor layout

We need a sleek editor page, where the user will modify the contents, keywords etc of their presentation cards

Presentation mode (w/o voice)

See #8

We will need some sort of way to test the logic in presentation mode without needing fully functional voice recognition, probably just using the keyboard. Voice can wait for later iterations.

Determine notecard requirements

We need to come up with a full spec of functionality we want the notecards to offer and any requirements that go with it, so that we can come up with a format for storing card data

e.g.

• Offers basic formatting
• Bullet point support
• Different tiers/priorities of keywords

Install script for any necessary dependencies

Cramming all the code into just one file

Import speech recognition libraries

Will require research for active mic input compatibility.

Web hosting for go projects

Write everything necessary so the back-end is able to run live from a hosting server.
Go seems to already be starting the process.
