The Ionic Framework is an open-source UI toolkit for building fast, high-quality applications using web technologies with integrations for popular frameworks like Angular and React. Ionic enables cross-platform development using either Cordova or Capacitor, with the latter featuring support for desktop application development using Electron. In this article, we will explore Ionic with the React integration by building an app that displays comics using the Marvel Comics API and allows users to create a collection of their favorites. We’ll also learn how to integrate native capabilities into our app with Capacitor and generate builds for a native platform. If you have not worked with Ionic in the past, or you’re curious to find out how Ionic works with React, this...

Food Service Workers Are on the Brink of a Mental Health Crisis. These Efforts are Helping.

At the Envie Espresso Bar & Cafe in the French Quarter of New Orleans, an almost empty brunch in mid-March presented an ominous prediction of the months to come. “Weekends are [usually] busy,” said manager Cate Watson as she recounted her last weekend in business. “I cut my kitchen at 10:30 a.m., which never happens. At that point I was like, ‘This is not going to be good.’”When Louisiana issued a stay-at-home order in March, it impacted Watson’s cafe and the nearly 1,200 other New Orleans dining establishments that serve the city’s 391,000 residents.Watson, who has an autoimmune illness, had a painful conversation with her small staff. “I told everybody to be very careful with their money,” she recalled. “I...

We all love a lush, green lawn to show off and level-up our curbside appeal

But, it takes some hard work to maintain. Those yards need the right amount of sunlight, water, and vitamins and minerals too. To ensure all these elements, we may have to reroute our routine to rely on more than just Mother Nature. Instead, we have to buy seeds, weed-killers, pest controls, and, we have to get in tune with the right kinds of irrigation systems too such as pop-up sprinklers or tripods.

Time Enough At Last: Reviving an Heirloom Typewriter

You may find yourself living in interesting times. The world we knew two months ago is gone, and there is time enough at last, to finally go through those projects we’ve been putting off for one reason or another. Today, I wanted to explore and possibly repair an old unidentified typewriter that belonged to my late aunt for many decades. A small disclaimer though, I am not an avid typewriter collector or connoisseur. I enjoy looking at them and using them, but by no stretch of the imagination I want to claim to be an expert in their history or inner workings — I’m a hacker after all. What follows is a layman’s adventure into her first typewriter repair, an...
