as part of my motivation to start learning how to use electron i’ve been digging around their website to see what is possible with the platform and i’ve found some great stuff. i’ve got seven of these planned and i’m hoping you will check out the quickfire soapbox made wistia videos i made, i’ve embedded episode one below. i really like the speed that soapbox afford me, i might not for instance put these on youtube but they are ideally for snackable bits of media and quick learning! :)

EPISODE ONE

what is electron and what is electron on steemit?

it’s a cool platform that allows someone (hopefully) non coder like me to hack together something (and get some help) to build our some applications that have been floating around my brain for far too long and need to come to life. i’m also sharing my journeys with the platform alongside these quick fire shows highlighting some tools that have been built with the platform. mainly to inspire me to keep going when things look really complicated but also so you can discover some neat tools! :)

looking to barter skills for coding help/time!

is that you, can you help? i'm going to need some coding help later on i'm sure with connecting to certain api's, building in some kind of redudance and css3 animations and effects to apply to different sources, also lots of authentication elements for people to login their social accounts, theming and general modules. i'm going to build the idea and framework out first and see what elements i need and see how far i can get with a mockup before i start getting into the complicated stuff.
