code-ninja-v2's Issues

Scroll must go to top on navigating to diff page

Cant use "`" in content markdown - parser script bug

Cache invalidation must also "smartly" update local storage

New properties added to theme object are not reflected unless its reset (manually) in local storage by changing the theme by clicking on the theme toggle button.

Need to find a way to clear cache invalidation by smartly updating local storage, i.e. we need to add these properties to the object without resetting users preference for theme

Need to have cdk manage images assets upload to s3 bucket

At the moment, any image referenced (by URL) in content/article markdown files are using urls to assets already uploaded to s3 bucket (manually). Need to have CDK manage this task

Look for the most optimum & cost-effective way to run cache invalidation for cloudfront

Reference:
deploy/scripts/cache-invalidation.ts:29

const params: CreateInvalidationRequest = {
    DistributionId: findCNDistribution?.Id || "",
    InvalidationBatch: {
      CallerReference: new Date().toISOString(),
      Paths: {
        Quantity: 1,
          /**
           * TODO: Identify / experiment to understand if we need to invalidate everything to reflect changes
           * 
           */
        Items: ["*"],
      },
    },
  };

  await cloudfront.createInvalidation(params).promise();

Blank page is rendered when route with "/articles/not-existing-slug" is hit

Most urls redirect to index page if not exists, except for cases like above. Need to have this redirect to home route as well

Setup runner to deploy to assets to s3 bucket on push

Favicon not loading when you directly open a blog post

Look into tailwind issue during snowpack build

warn - Tailwind is not purging unused styles because no template paths have been provided.
warn - If you have manually configured PurgeCSS outside of Tailwind or are deliberately not removing unused styles, set purge: false in your Tailwind config file to silence this warning.
warn - https://tailwindcss.com/docs/controlling-file-size/#removing-unused-css

Optimize search algo

Search algo is very rudimentary, but it does feel fast enough at the moment (because we dont have a lot of articles).

It doesnt make sense to optimize prematurely since we dont have any issues with speed of search at the moment. But would be an interesting topic to research for better algorithms to improve lookup speed.

Maybe look for services like Algolia (except free).

Export closures articles design assets from figma into repo and swap them out in the article instead

The "Demystifying JavaScript Closures" article was originally published by me in dev.to here: https://dev.to/ashwanth1109/demystifying-javascript-closures-4e3i

I copied the readme file over and it therefore still uses the image assets that were originally uploaded to dev.to
Need to export all the assets from figma into repo and deploy them to code-ninja s3 bucket and use them from there instead

Length of article is not parsed from markdown correctly - parser bug

Link all scripts to root level

Scripts like deploy, build etc must be run from their respective folders "deploy", "frontend" etc. Link them all to root level scripts to prevent navigating to different directories

Decrease font size for mobile

Look for some free AI service (perhaps AWS Comprehend) to generate list of "interesting" keywords to use for search

Currently, I have to manually create interesting keywords for each content article so that search works with these keywords.
We want some AI service to take the text of the article as input and generate a few of the important / interesting keywords for search to use.

I think this approach of keyword based search would be the most efficient for the user. Since we don't want to search through prepositions, articles and other non-interesting keywords, it doesnt make sense to use all words for search.

Check to see if AWS Comprehend does something like this
