A few thoughts on the abstractions that Gatsby Themes provide.

Setting Up CI And CD For Tauri

I have recently started helping out with a project called Tauri. I will use it myself, but I appreciate the vision and want to see it succeed. The repo did not have no continuous integration or continuous delivery set up, and I knew it would provide immediate value to the project. Thus began my involvement and we decided to use the shiny new GitHub Actions to deliver this.

Batch Rename Pictures

I wrote a Python 3 script to rename photo files with the timestamp that they were taken.

Optical Character Recognition On PDFs

I recently converted out of Evernote and in that conversion process I ended up with a handful of PDFs that I would like to run optical character recognition (OCR) on. This function makes the PDF searchable. I had something like 250 PDFs at this point in which I needed to apply OCR. That is not an insignificant task and it definitely was worth the effort to figure out a way to do this in a batch process.

Converting Out Of Evernote

I have been using Evernote for some time and when I first started using it it seemed to be the easiest way to scan documents and have them searchable. It runs a process called OCR or optical character recognition on the images that it stores with the note. With changes at Evernote, it seemed like it might be worth entertaining the idea of finding a different platform to store my documents.

Gatsby And Contributing To Open Source

I have been using Gatsby since July of 2016. After seeing a presentation on isomorphic/universal reactjs, the bug had finally bit me hard enough. I had to get into Reactjs, and then eventually lead to Gatsbyjs. This is the story.
