ChristophProjects Archive
A collection of discontinued (either replaced or archived) projects.
Web-Apps
A digital version of our "which cat is in the house" installation at home.
Lesson learned: That 3-way-binding with Firebase is just jaw-dropping easy.
Go check them out!
Replaced (2.1) Cats
Front-End to my Brocode-API (see below).
Lesson learned: If you stick with the examples, Angular.js is insanely easy
to develop with, combined with sufficient features.
Archived Brocode
Websites
Redid the website in Jeykll.
Got sick of Wordpress, constant security holes, updates break settings, nasty stuff.
Just not stable enough in the long run.
Lesson learned: Jekyll isn't a silver-bullet either.
Doing sophisticated html, no Markdown, Jekyll looses a lot of its charm.
A small website for a local pharmacy. Nothing fancy, responsive and partly search engine
optimized.
First Wordpress-powered website. Running smooth. Host-Europe is a great hoster.
Lesson learned: Wordpress desperately needs multi-language in the core.
Update regularly!
Replaced (2.0) Kastell-Apotheke
Rewrite the homepage of the student's cinema at KIT.
Making it faster and responsive.
Stepping down from Bootstrap to the lightweight Gridly.
Lesson learned: New techniques, especially for naviagtion menus.
Additionally I now can appreciate Bootstrap even more.
Another small website for a local fashion store.
One more time build with Twitter-Bootstrap CSS-Framework. Still pretty happy with how
easy it is to get nice and responsive designs.
Lesson learned: Using "npm run" as a task-runner is a two-sided medal too.
APIs
Read-only list of all Brocode-Articles. Hopefully CBS won't sue me for this :P
First try to write a RESTful-API with the Node.js+MongoDB-combination.
Lesson learned: Using a NoSQL-database the first time felt great. Even
though I love normalized databases, this schema-less thing felt relieving.
Additionally the combination of Node.js + Express makes it very easy to just write it
off.
Pebble
Had fun with my Pebble developing watch-faces and apps. Due to the recent announcements, all further activities on Pebble development are stopped.
Basically a digital version of the little sandglass I had when I was a kid to ensure I'm
toothbrushing the proper amount of time.
Lesson learned: Once you go JavaScript you never want to go back :/
App Archived Toothbrushtimer
A digital businesscard using Pebble and QR-Code.
Lesson learned: Barely useful to exchange contact information with techies,
totally useless with "normal" people.
Watchface Archived Contact Me
