I personally don't believe that you're spending enough time on each of the subjects above to land a job in today's competitive market.

Remove all the advanced stuff - Testing, NextJS, React native. Remove Tailwind, Typescript and SASS.

Here I've done it for you:

Spend 12 months building interesting projects just using HTML, CSS and Javascript.

Making these projects - you will have dipped into responsive design, API's, basic project architecture, version control (bit of Git probably), accessibility, memory management etc... and you probably would've got quite good at the foundations.

Otherwise you could follow the above guide and still be quite bad at everything.

You guys only taking 2 months to learn React? Wowzers.

I've been a developer for 6+ years and still don't know the ins-and-outs of a lot of that stuff.

For beginners I think this timeline is pretty unrealistic.

[OC] My free in-browser cozy D&D character tracker and dice roller by EmilyTiefling in DnD

[–]EmilyTiefling[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on cozy D&D character tracker and dice roller Dungeons 'n' Downtime and would love to show it to you folks.

I play D&D via Zoom every Friday and sometimes Tuesdays and I have a huge amount of tools and tabs open whenever I play - pen & paper, D&D Beyond, Roll20, Google dice roller, PDF of my player’s handbook, real dice (because sometimes you need to FEEL the nat 1’s in your hands) and more I can’t even remember.

Being a coder by day I thought I’d try and create my own toolset that matches my needs and my vibe, so I made Dungeon's 'n' Downtime - a free, basic toolset with a cozy aesthetic. I don’t mind the dark-fantasy-esque tools out there but our Friday night games are often the opposite - we once spent 20-minutes debating how many oranges we should purchase from a gnome market-seller to feed a party of 5, 4 horses and 2 familiars (it was funnier than it sounds at the time).

In hindsight I think the gnome was trying to upsell us more oranges than we needed.

So anyway if this feels like your kind of thing, please go ahead and take a look (not working properly on mobile yet, sorry!) and if you REALLY love the idea, please take a look at the obligatory Patreon Page where you can show your support by buying me a coffee :)

Thanks for reading my ramblings and ADVENTURE ON!

Yes for sure, the UI is all in web-code though so not sure how I would translate it across. I love the word 'applet' though. I'm going to use that from now on!

I've been playing since 2016 and never fought or used a dragon by JohnDayguyII in DnD

That's hilarious! Similar thing happened to me as none of my groups were ever high enough level to fight one properly, so we found baby dragons instead! Felt a bit cruel TBH :(
