    The World is Alive

    After plenty of trial and error, Story Forge is finally breathing: a space-themed world, futuristic date codes, auto-tagged WordPress posts, and a hardened worker pipeline. Feeding distilled world docs sharpened the canon—and now the next step is fully automating story, image, and publishing. Read More

    Prototyping a Canon-Aware Story System

    I’m experimenting with an automated, multi-author blog using the OpenAI API while wiring up WordPress. Personas generate stories and songs with shared memory, structured JSON, and evolving canon—an in-progress exploration of turning world-building notes into a living, distributed narrative system.

    Infinite Scrolling in React

    oday, I implemented a toggle for site edit mode, optimized code navigation with markdown links, and removed outdated code. I also created a dialog for editing navigation icons and explored infinite scrolling in React. I tackled performance issues, including debouncing scroll events and leveraging useDeferredValue for smoother item loading. Read More

    REST API Paths

    When naming REST API paths, it’s important to follow best practices such as avoiding file extensions, using HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and placing variable names in the path. Proper structuring of endpoints helps differentiate between collections and singletons, like using /api/users for a collection and /api/users/123 for a specific resource. Relationships between… Read More

    Fallback!

    Today, I implemented functionality for renaming and deleting types, added authentication forms, and expanded a dialog form to handle multiple fields with autocomplete. I faced an issue with password manager warnings for hidden username fields and resolved it by using CSS to hide the input properly. I also created a new dialog control, fixed an… Read More

  • JWT Based Authorization

    JWT Based Authorization

    The author implemented JWT-based authentication in a Redux application. They used a separate refresh token to obtain new authorization tokens when the current one expires. They encountered challenges with token storage, header configuration, and state management within Redux. The author recommends using a custom middleware or listener to handle token refresh and local storage interactions.… Read More

  • Listener Middleware

    Listener Middleware

    Streamlined a Redux application by consolidating logic into slice files, removing unused code, and setting up path aliases. Transitioned from Sagas to Listeners for simpler scenarios, focused on local storage interactions and reacting to dispatched actions. Additionally, removed unnecessary dependencies like redux-saga and reselect and created a custom Persistence class for typed local storage access… Read More

    Transitioning to createSlice

    The blog post details transitioning to Redux Toolkit’s createSlice for managing async actions, including fetch operations, drag-and-drop, and abortable processes. It highlights a modular approach using custom action groups to streamline lifecycle management, reduce boilerplate, and maintain flexibility with Redux Saga for handling complex asynchronous workflows.

    Queue Downloads

    I created @codejamboree/web-requests-queue, a library that queues and spaces out HTTP requests to prevent server overload, with features like pausing, resuming, and downloading files or parsing JSON. I also developed a basic testing platform with function mocks and expectations. The library is available on GitHub and npm. Read More

  • Authentication Bearer
    June 26, 2024
    Authentication Bearer

    I created a login form and 2FA form, adding access controls to sensitive information within error logs. Endpoints were reconfigured to require a valid authorization header before allowing data to be returned. Read More
