I decided to abandon my Ledger application (which works much better in desktop Java) and work on something that is dear to my heart… a dating app! I have just finished the first very ugly version. I am going to try to learn something about how to make an attractive web site… I have a lot to learn.
In technical news, I upgraded to Spring Boot, which was a complete non-event that didn’t work out of the box. But after some hacking, I got it to replicate the exact functionality I had before. Progress I guess?
I also started reading about Angular, React, and Vue, because apparently those are all the rage. Perhaps I will try one.
Other neat things I found: cropper.js for cropping images, and three.js for 3D graphics in WebGL. Both very fun and easy to use. I made a 3D “captcha” with a cube that you have to spin around, which I am sure provides no security whatsoever. But it was fun to make.
