@devmansam.net released his freelancing app today. I've tested it in the past & its amazing. Its the strongest free resource I've seen for people looking to hunt web dev clients. There are tools to find businesses, contracts, proposals, tracking systems & so much more.

I just finished my 100 hours project and wanted to share it with the 100Devs community.

DevLeads (devleads.site) is a complete, self-hosted lead management system I built specifically for freelance web developers. It handles everything from initial contact to final payment.(cont.)

This is amazing, dude. I've been waiting for it to launch. The Business Finder alone is worth its weight in gold - but the rest of it's ok too! ;)

Congrats on launching. I know this was a long time coming - and its perfect for #Huntober!

Working on the homework for Class 35 at #100Devs. We had to review a Node server. Commenters on the YouTube video said that it was a difficult class, so I did a little writeup on my blog to try & explain the code for those who'd like the help.

I worked through roughly the first half of the 100Devs material earlier this year & part of last year & then took a break for a bit. This week, I resumed by watching the 6-hour JavaScript S…

!checkin for Class 35 at #100Devs. Went through promises & async/await. Learned that setTimeout(), setInterval(), fetch() and THE DOM are not JavaScript. They're web APIs!

Finally started backend with Node.

!checkin for the 6-hour JS Super Review between classes 34 & 35 of #100Devs. Haven't touched any of the material since the end of March & this was a lot. Variables, functions, conditionals, loops, arrays, objects, APIs, OOP & more. Job-hunt material, too.

On to backend, next.

Yesterday, I found that hex colors can have opacities by adding a 2-character alpha value to the end (for 8 chars total). Its called an RGBA hex.

So black (#000000) can be 50% opaque as #00000080 or 10% opaque as #0000001A. Its been a thing since 2018!

Added "fixed" & "w-full" Tailwind classes to nav container so its always onscreen when scrolled down & maintains full width. Changed padding from only bottom to top & bottom, too, because the top was too close to the top of the window.

The burger-menu icon is something I picked up from this site on the @tailwindcss.com homepage's footer. You can grab SVG or JSX:

Heroicons

Beautiful hand-crafted SVG icons, by the makers of Tailwind CSS.
