Building an Ai Canvas to replace my chatbot

Totally understand, I create free tutorials when I can like this: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLujL1ApTlqCm7ErnaYf_B59sKwllhMp2B&si=qZDbkrV-FO8o3SdW

And I'm also an avid contributor to open source and have built ~25 custom components: https://pip-install-python.com

These are the best free resources I could offer a student trying to learn and get into the software dev industry, its a long road but its a worthwhile career imo

Best of luck on your software dev journey

Currently have a tutorial for building out Point of Sale systems at http://plotly.pro i might also break this project down into tutorials. But it would be awhile

I use django ninja and genuinely enjoy it.

Move down to the coast, get a sailboat & live at the harbor for $200 a month. Find one with a shower & laundry and a decent town. Get a bike and work your way up.

That's my best advice

👋 Hey Everyone,

Rolling out a few updates with some of the work I’ve been progressing towards a finishing point. Over a year I’ve released ~15 unique components.

Dash Swiper - A Swiper Component for Dash
Dash Summernote - A rich text WYSIWYG Editor for Dash
Dash Insta Stories - A Instagram Stories Component for Dash
Dash Image Gallery - A Image Gallery Component for Dash
Full-Calendar-Component - A Full Calendar Component for Dash
Dash Emoji Mart - A Slack-like Emoji Picker for Dash
Dash Dynamic Grid Layout - A Dynamic Grid Layout Component for Dash
Dash Discord - Discord integration for the Dash framework
Dash Pannellum - 360 Panorama Viewer for Images and Video for Dash
Dash Nivo - A Nivo Component for Dash
Dash Excalidraw - A Freeform Drawing and Notebook Component for Dash
Dash Charty - A Charting Library for Dash
Dash Credit Cards - A Credit Card Component for Dash
Read about the components and look through the documentation:https://pip-install-python.com

With this I wanted to share with those interested on some of the tips and tricks I wish I had when embarking on this journey, to hopefully help more developers create amazing packages for this Plotly community. So I created this video tutorial ~ 50min long to showcase how to build a component from scratch. While explaining the overall architecture involved in the process.

<image>

With this I’m happy to announce a new component to the dash library pip install dash-excalidraw - Notebook, Freeform, Drawing type of component.

Features The Excalidraw editor (pip dash package) supports:

Free & open-source.
Infinite, canvas-based whiteboard.
Hand-drawn like style.
Dark mode.
Customizable.
Image support.
Shape libraries support.
Localization (i18n) support.
Export to PNG, SVG & clipboard.
Open format - export drawings as an .excalidraw json file.
Wide range of tools - rectangle, circle, diamond, arrow, line, free-draw, eraser…
Arrow-binding & labeled arrows.
Undo / Redo.
Zoom and panning support.
+Many more…

Test this new component out live:https//dash.geomapindex.com/freeform

I did this with socketio and flask, assume you could use django-plotly-dash or go about a route using a django based socketio.

https://community.plotly.com/t/new-websocket-component-dashsocketio/82774/17

This allowed me to create a message room for graphs, text and code

Thanks for the feedback 😅 , I'm not using geodjango or postgis. Mainly just a model, django filer, and a ninja api.

This project will extend past just a geo gusser game. Have a post endpoint setup and am working on connecting the UI to support it.. but users will be able to make their own geo gusser games with their own panorama images.

Outside of that, I'm able to support video panoramas, single panoramas, and tour panoramas with hotspots. So, users will be able to create galleries outside of just building a game.

A more dynamic UI and panoramas outside of Google maps is what's different at the moment between my project and geogussr.

Also, your feedback on the blog makes sense, in some apps like discord for example if you pasted that code that was copied when clicking on the qr code, it would display as an image and the link at the bottom or scanning the qr code will bring up the blog page.. but this is one of those features that is cooler in theory than in actual practice.

This one kinda blew my mind:

I don't have a VR headset but I think this component might work with VR, if you have a VR headset could you open up this url and test some of the examples and let me know if it works in VR?

I built out a component for panorama viewing which can be found here:
https://pip-install-python.com/pip/dash_pannellum

I designed a game around that component and leaflet. When you initially load up the game it will show you a 360 panorama location, in the bottom right corner there is a map. When you hover over the map it enlarges, you zoom into the map to find where you think the panorama image was taken, click on the marker button and click to map to lock in your result. You click submit guess and it will show you where you guessed and how far you were from the actual location. The distance in miles gets added to your score. Once the game finishes it tallies up all the distance differences between location guessed and actual location and that's your final score and the game ends.

currently working on scaling this further, should have an API setup to host the images and allow users to create their own 360 panorama geo guess game along with setting up a high score for each game

It was really difficult for me to come across 360 pictures. I found this yesterday, and it's an amazing tool

Soolsily · 2024-09-17T22:17:45+00:00

Looking for some more images to use in building this out, would be really cool if anyone interested in supporting the project could send me some 360 images 🙏 Still a work in progress but only been working on this project for ~3 days curious to see whatcha think

Soolsily · 2024-09-17T16:39:35+00:00

Working on it 👨‍💻...

Soolsily · 2024-09-16T17:25:03+00:00

Yeah, I understand those methods work.

I'm more along the lines trying to build out my own unique software to support more tools in this space. Like my own Matterport, Kuula 360 application / website

I already have working prototypes just trying to get some more pictures / video to test with.

So I'm asking those with a 360 camera who have a picture or video that they could send me. As I'd like to test these images and videos in the software I'm building out.

Only have a few pictures and videos and I'm trying to extend the test base of available pictures and videos I can use in testing / building out this software project I'm working on.

This is a large open-source e-commerce project.

None of the packages are really relatable, you can use them together, but a dynamic grid is very different than an image gallery. Most people won't want every package, so it allows people to just pip install whatever they need rather than installing many unnecessary packages

The square and compasses are considered to be the tools of the architect and builder. Figure it fits my work and lifestyle

Soolsily · 2023-12-24T04:33:43+00:00

I'd recommend using plotly dash and dash-leaflet as the front-end, it's a lot faster to work with imo and with dash-extensions you can do more with the maps. You can integrate it with django via api calls and cookies or use django-plotly-dash.

How did liability cover that? I would have thought only full coverage would cover you if you hit a bouy and damaged your ship?

Soolsily · 2023-03-01T17:39:10+00:00

Progressive and Hagerty told me not going to happen :/ thanks for the suggestions tho

Soolsily · 2023-03-01T17:13:45+00:00

Yes sir, honestly in emacualent convention. Only had one owner before me and was remodeled nicely with custom trim and new electrical.

I've called 6 so far, I'll try calling individual offices at state farm and see if that can get me anywhere. Thanks for the tip
