studio status report: 2020-06

month 6 of 2020 was about recuperation and promotion

“A Return to Progressive Enhancement with LitHtml and 11ty (@eleven_ty)” marks my debut into the latest fashion trend of technical blogging from at least three years ago. My Medium.com post speaks for itself so let’s conserve space here.

The recuperation part was about moving more of my OneNote content to Joplin and seeing the next little bit of routine development upwards from SonghayCore:

  • [ ] release next SonghayCore project 📦🚀
  • [ ] upgrade packages dependent on SonghayCore 📦⬆
  • [ ] release next Songhay.Publications project 📦🚀

This work is looking forward to upgrading to .NET 3.x.

mermaid and basic image support for blogging

The rise of Joplin in the Studio has pushed me toward a basic image pipeline for my Visual-Studio-Code-based blogging. The Paste Image extension is key to this new routine:

  1. compose the Mermaid diagram in Joplin
  2. screen-capture it with the OS
  3. paste it into the active Markdown document is Visual Studio Code

These are the Paste Image settings (at the folder level) for this Blog:

    "pasteImage.insertPattern": "${imageSyntaxPrefix}../presentation/image/${imageFileName}${imageSyntaxSuffix}",
    "pasteImage.namePrefix": "day-path-",
    "pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/presentation/image/"

Studio packages dependent on SonghayCore

Studio packages dependent on

  • SonghayCore.MSTest will retire upon the move to .NET Core 3.x
  • Songhay.DataAccess is in serious need of a revival
