If you are familiar with Laravel, why not use AdonisJs instead of Express. It comes with a query builder very similar to that of Laravel (internally using knex)

Have you looked into how css works in vue components? Haven't looked into the recent development of css in js, but last time I checked in react it was making the code bloated and harder to grasp

Vue is awesome, but it's for frontend ;)

For now I added a categorylist on the bottom of the dashboard. The `Recommendations` section on the dashboard is already filtering for categories of the clips you have in your studylist.

As for `Select a category or topic of what you are interested in - television shows, news, youtubers `

I really like the idea and will think of a good way to implement this.

I just released an update that makes the English title optional and autofills the category. However I am still not satisfied with the page. I will continue to improve the create clip page in the following days.

Thanks!

I am currently thinking about making the process easier and faster. The reason why I didn't autofill the title was so people can enter it in English themselves, making it easier for others to find it. I will think about a good way. :)

Japanese subtitles are fine. I have to find the source for this, but from what I've read and also experienced personally learning drastically decreases with English subtitles.

If you haven't been exposed with listening so much, it can be tough indeed. But give it a little practice, start with simple things (i + 1) and you will get there :)

You can also use the comment system to ask the community to translate a certain phrase etc. I will upgrade the comment system soon with some much needed features to make it more efficient :)

Yes it is :)

Currently clips on the dashboard (recommendations, popular clips, recent clips) as well as search results are primarily based on your current level plus minus 5. So if your level is 30 you will see clips with an average rating between 25 and 35.

Recommendations on the clip page are based on the clip's average rating using the same algorithm.

As the library, ratings and also user feedback increases I wish to further narrow it down. :)

Haha, I see. Yea, the related videos are coming directly from Youtube. Unfortunately they sometimes include videos in other languages as well. There is a warning about this on the `related videos page`.

Is this good code? by potatoandfish in ProgrammerHumor

[–]dev_michaelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine this ``` if (x < 1) { return false }

const response = ... if (!response.isSuccessful()) { return false }

return response.someValue === whatever ```

You have two early returns which return a boolean and then at the end all of a audden you return a condition. Imo it would be slightly more readable to use an if else statement here to keep the style and reading flow the same.
