And so it continues....
After the spectacular disaster that was Release 0.3, I have returned this week for my fourth and final release. At this point, I am happy with everything I have done so far in this course, and these last few weeks will test everything I have learned so far. To start, I am going to go over some updates from last week's posts, and explain my plans for Release 0.4.
Release 0.3 Updates
I received some change requests from Flo as follows:
- Make different grid sizes for different screen sizes
- Try to use tailwind classes to attempt this
- Change some syntax and naming
- Adjust font size and justification
The conversation is listed here. So I successfully made these changes to the code aside from using tailwind. I couldn't get tailwind to work with the .module.css file type, as tailwind works better with regular css. I used some of the syntax to adjust font size and justification, but I couldn't the other way. I ended up using the @media method to detect screen size and adjust the grid to the required size. Some of the changes made also help with a compression issue, where some images were being squeezed to fit in the grid at certain screen sizes.

| @media method |
300px is for phone screens, 768px is for tablets, 992px is for smaller computer screens, and 1200px is for larger screens. Each of these has a different number of columns to fit the screen.
Telescope - Release 0.4
I have picked an issue to work on for Release 0.4, to continue my work from 0.3 on documentation. My plan is to work on this issue to start, and then continue to monitor and update documentation as the Release continues. Part of my problem is that I have no way as far as I know to install docker in my current environment. I use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which cannot use docker, and I need Windows Professional to use docker desktop. I am stuck working on documentation and organization until I can get docker up and running. I am going to continue researching ways to get docker going over the weekend.
External PR - Release 0.4
I really enjoyed working on open climate fix this week, it made last week's madness feel a lot more legitimate. In terms of an external PR for Release 0.4, I really want to work on a page for a website. I would love to continue working on open climate fix, however there doesn't seem to be an escalated issue on that site at the moment, except for a contributing page which I am unsure of the complexity of. I am currently searching for an issue similar to what I have worked on these past 3 months. My criteria for a new issue are the following:
- UI related (components, new pages, new features)
- In an environment I am somewhat familiar with (Gatsby, React, Angular, Javascript, etc)
- An escalation from my previous issue (a gatsby component with simple file reading)
Some issues that I have found that somewhat satisfy my criteria:
- https://github.com/hochschule-darmstadt/openartbrowser/issues/69
- https://github.com/leapfrogtechnology/sports/issues/54
I am going to continue looking over the weekend.
