Build an app to capture memories — Web Dev Challenge S1E6

Sponsored by Tigris Data and Fly.io — What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Lawrence Lockhart, Amy Dutton, Josh Cirre, and Jason Lengstorf took on the Web Dev Challenge to find out. *THE CHALLENGE* _Build an app that helps people capture memories._ There are so many things we experience that might seem small in the moment, but that we’d see as a treasured memory looking back on it years from now. A special event, a dinner with loved ones, a small adventure — or a big one. Your challenge is to create an app to help people capture a special kind of memory. You get to choose what kind of memories your app will capture, but it should allow users to upload images and/or videos. *THE TOOLS* Apps must use the following tools in their build. - Tigris Data (https://lwj.dev/tigris) is globally distributed S3-compatible object storage service that provides low latency anywhere in the world. - Fly.io (https://lwj.dev/fly) allows developers to deploy apps in a globally distributed way with minimal hassle. #memories #webdevelopment #challenge #javascript #reactjs #typescript *THE DEVS* Lawrence Lockhart (@LawrenceDCodes.) https://www.tiktok.com/@lawrencedlockhart https://twitter.com/LawrenceDCodes Amy Dutton (@SelfTeachMe) https://twitter.com/selfteachme Josh Cirre (@joshcirre) https://twitter.com/joshcirre Jason Lengstorf (‪@codetv-dev) https://jason.energy/links *THE ADVISORS* Annie Sexton https://twitter.com/_anniebabannie_ Katie Schilling https://linktr.ee/kdschilling *THE APPS* - Lawrence's Developer Disasters app: https://github.com/LawrenceDLockhart/digitaldisasters - Amy's Conf FOMO app: https://github.com/ahaywood/conffomo - Josh's My Favorite Thing app: https://github.com/joshcirre/myfavoritething - Jason's Made Me Smile app: https://github.com/learnwithjason/wdc-made-me-smile *THE GEAR* The workstations in this video are made possible through sponsorships from these wonderful companies: - BenQ RD280U monitors: https://benqurl.biz/46nNUaT - Keychron K8 Pro keyboards: https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-pro-qmk-via-wireless-mechanical-keyboard?ref=MKT&variant=39755425382489 - Anglepoise desk lamps: https://www.anglepoise.com/usa/ - Ugmonk desk accessories: https://ugmonk.com/ See the full desk setup here: https://lwj.dev/uses ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Get early access to new videos, exclusive bonus content and other perks, and join me in building a happier, healthier, friendlier web dev community! https://www.youtube.com/@codetv-dev/join ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 0:00 In this episode... 0:36 Today's challenge 0:49 What is Fly.io? 1:27 What is Tigris? 2:26 Planning the web apps 2:49 Meet Lawrence Lockhart + his app idea 3:20 Meet Josh Cirre + his app idea 3:58 Meet Amy Dutton + her app idea 4:20 Meet Jason Lengstorf + his app idea 5:01 Building the apps 14:17 How you can join the Web Dev Challenge 14:33 Lawrence's demo 17:10 Amy's demo 19:18 Jason's demo 22:03 Josh's demo 25:13 Final thoughts
