Re:Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project? by cionescu on Thursday May 14, 2020 @10:43AM (#23180148)
This quarantine I decided to restrain myself from starting a new side project (many of you might agree that we've got too many abandoned projects) and just pick one from the abandoned queue.

My pick: http://seriesreminder.net It was going to be the first choice when you wanted a new series recommended or just wanted to see which tv shows will air this week.

It was still using Rails 5 and Sprockets so I had to make the proper upgrades (including migration to Webpacker) and revamped the design using React and MaterialUI. I wrote an article about that https://medium.com/@cionescu1/how-to-use-react-components-in...

My only goal moving forward is to find the sweet spot (not really MVP, but a nicely working state) where I can go back to just ignoring this project again
