I thought it might be nice to list some of the miscellaneous things I do from day-to-day for building my apps (web apps or hybrid apps). These are little things that might not yet need a blog post or they could be something that turns into a blog post. As a full-stack developer, this may also include back-end work.

- Ionic app testing in Dark mode. This is a highly necessary thing to do since a lot of phones these days will automatically switch to dark mode at 6 pm or whatever it is configured to. Jarod: Blog about this

- Implemented Intro.js library for a mobile app. This is awesome! When the user goes to a screen, highlight a button or section with some help text giving them information on how to better use the app.
- 04/02/21 to 04/05/21
- Built custom PHP modules for Drupal 7 CMS. These were REST API’s which are called from a mobile app.
- 03/20/21
- Implemented an Angular web app for users to manage their Firebase data for their mobile app

- Add color picker dialog that is used within a mobile app

- Built a configuration file and script so that I can generate a new mobile app variation for golf course mobile apps. Each golf course app is similar but with different images and configurations.

- Began upgrading a personal project (a game) that originally used AngularJS, Ionic 1, and Phaser 2. Works great, but I wanted to upgrade it. It is now running on Angular 10, Ionic 5, and Phaser 3.19.0. I will soon re-release it as a mobile app and also a PWA.

- Did some slight modifications to be able to deploy an Ionic 5, Angular 10 mobile app as a PWA to Firebase. These changes included adding the web manifest, some icons and also using the Ionic Platform service to detect ‘mobileweb’. This app will soon launch to Apple, Google Play and still be available as a PWA to help gain user traction.

- Lots of things I failed to document.
- A big piece for a new mobile app was the ability to upload pics for a group that are private to that group and not indexed or searchable publicly.

- For the re-write of my Pit Stop (gas and deals) mobile app from AngularJS to Angular 8, I re-wrote a Google map page of gas stations nearby where the user can tap an icon and see what station it is and then go to that details page.

- Ionic 5 App: Dynamically add 2 profile icons to the ion-toolbar once the user login is successful; 2 profile icons were added because the user needs to switch between managing profiles for their “cat” and their “dog”, or whatever other family members they need to manage.

- For my Angular web app My Dividend Meter: I updated some Python code that finds the next available ex-div date as well as annual dividend and then updates the MongoDB collection.

- Last week I worked on a Registration/Login screen for an Ionic app that uses a Drupal 7 backend. Today I was able to reuse most of the front-end components to create a Registration/Login screen that uses a Drupal 8 backend. Differences here are the REST API’s, the responses, and the different pieces of the D8 data that are needed to logout. Don’t forget your logout_token!! 🙂

- Using Bitrise.io CI/CD to build an Angular8/Ionic4 iOS app, sign the build and then deploy to MS App Center for testers to install on their devices
