Recently I built a tool to help me quickly create cover images for my blog posts. I've written a case study and closer look at how cvrsnap was built 👇 blog.kieranroberts.dev/cvrsnapcom-blo…

Next updates will include improvements to the mobile/sidebar UX and more templates. I am also writing an article on building the app. Check it out if you need a cover image for your next blog post, free to create/download images. Thanks for reading 👋

2. You don't want to use a cover image from an internet image platform. 3. You want to do all of this in a modern and user-friendly editor.

Introducing CvrSnap 🫰 A small side project I built that let's you easily create and download blog cover images for posts. I wanted a simple tool for myself to pick some layout templates, custom forefront text (blog title/author), and some bg options. cvrsnap.com

@andrewbaisden It's nice, took me a second to find the 'Get started' btn though

The Tailwind CSS website got a new V4 design 🤩

New article on some simple good practises to explore in your React projects. Touching on dumb components, repository organisation, and using the url as state. Check it out 👇 blog.kieranroberts.dev/5-tips-to-leve…

Spending time getting more hands on with AWS services atm, specifically CloudFront and S3 today. Spent hours debugging something, tried everything. What was wrong: Build output I had set 'build' was not correct 🤦

@catalinmpit In general life I am a glass half empty person and I'd mostly be focused on what I'm missing. But in this case, and putting things in perspective, I would be more than thrilled with 70% of people liking what I do.

If 70% of people like your work, but 30% don't, do you stop because of those 30%, or continue for those 70%? You may think the answer is obvious, but too many of us focus on those 30%. Remember that it's impossible to please everyone.

@Lakbychance Nice, couldn't get my exact name. One of the few times I wished my parents had given me a middle name to make it more unique

@Kieran6dev Yup I think I got to know about early on and secured lakshyathakur 😁

Did you know you can customise your profile URL on LinkedIn. I only recently found this. A small thing but it makes your profile look a bit cleaner to remove those random characters. Go to your profile, Click 'Public profile & URL' -> 'Edit your custom URL'

@ewainy Right, I'm terrible keeping up with things. Ye I set up an account there a little while back, just need to start connecting with some peeps

@ewainy Hey Emma! Hope all is well. Having the same thoughts myself recently

@Lakbychance Have been sticking to 2 meals per day when I'm at home for many years now and it like it (12pm - 7pm). Almost never have a problem with lacking energy

Been having 2 instead of 3 proper meals a day for almost a month now. Breakdown 👇 Breakfast - Between 10-11 AM Fruits/Sprouts -Between 2:30-3 PM Tea (with 2 biscuits max) - Between 4-5 PM Dinner - Between 6:30-7 PM (Yup early dinner) After so long, I think I have known the real hunger before dinner time. Will see how this eating lifestyle plays for a longer duration.

@unclebigbay143 Thanks man

@Kieran6dev This is so lovely Kieran! And the UX is 🔥

I have a new personal portfolio 🚀 Some bits are not quite done and there is more I want to add, but feel free to let me know what you think: kieranroberts.dev

And if you're interested in reading about how it was built, I have written a small case study on my blog: blog.kieranroberts.dev/kieranrobertsd…

@danielcranney Jealous dude 😄. I'd love to be inbox zero, but they keep telling me I'm running out of storage and I just don't know where to begin

Inbox zero is a way of life 😅 I cannot stand having unread emails, how about you?

@hey_yogini Also badly need a new office chair but I have been procrastinating. I have a terrible home chair and work remotely, don't know why I do this to myself

Every good chair I find for my home office setup seems to have mixed reviews! 😀 Anyone has good chair recommendations?

@DThompsonDev Nice man! I have a streak of around 6 months on Duo with Spanish atm Set myself the goal of being able to pass A1 tests to keep me chasing something

Woke up this morning to bring 700 points under top 1 spot! Had to put in that good work this morning to take it back! Also hit double digits in the streak! This is the longest I have been consistent with trying to learn Spanish and feel the consistency with my goal.
