Week 31: Brought books at the book fair, initiative to design 12 NGOs' websites, subscription by email - WIP
This week was mostly spent discussing an initiative that my friend suggested. More on that to follow in the post.
Books
We visited the Chennai book fair during the last week of the event and brought the following books.
Spoils from chennaibookfair 2023 📚
PinQL
I raised chore(react-ui): adding react to the app #2
This PR does the following things
- Adds
reactto the repo atclients/reactui/folder. For now, it is going to be react only. But in the future, I'm planning to add more clients like Svelte. All of them will be consuming the same response from GraphQL powered backend. - Since now we have 2 apps within the same repo technically, I added concurrently, to start both of them at once.

I'm wrapping up the final form validations and DB schema changes to accommodate the new category for
weeklies. It
should be ready in a week or two.
Free website design for NGOs
My friend Eswar has a unique goal for 2023. He wants to help design 12 NGO websites for free of cost this year. We have received excellent responses from the post. Based on the initial discussion with the registered NGOs, they had little to no presence online since they are heavily fieldwork based. The only tech they use is WhatApp, for organizing and sharing pictures of the event. They want to share all their work digitally on the Internet for others to see.
I'm thinking of the following criteria to help them meet their requirement.
- Admin accounts: for creating dynamic posts instead of static pages.
- SEO: dynamically generating sitemap.xml and robots.txt to be findable on Google search.
- Social media: Link all their social media account to their page.
- Google photos: Helping them move their old pictures to Google photo albums with public links.
I'll share more here as I get to know them better.
