Shields.io for Google's PageSpeed Insight

     This was an idea I had for some upcoming projects I'm working and it includes the use of shields.io to display important information on the quality of the front-end code. Also to give to give an idea of what's on a production server. This would really work for projects where the code was mostly open-sourced. Users could get a glance before hand of the boilerplate/template for particular project and know the quality it has. I did start to write out some code to do this and currently the only approach I have is using it via Google's API service which requires an API key. Below is the api request and the parameters need, from there all one needs to do is hook up, the three fields in shields.io and return the appropriate svg. 


API:
https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v2/runPagespeed?url=http%3A%2F%2F{WWW.EXAMPLE.COM}&strategy={desktop||mobile}&fields=ruleGroups&key={YOUR_API_KEY}





A Difference in Implementation

     Be aware there is a nodeJs project using PageSpeed Insight locally but I think there are just as many cases for this approach that could be useful. It all depends on how you are trying to market you project on github. If you think people will contribute or reuse your production code, this may come in handy. Or you can just keep it as a scoreboard haha.

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer 





















     I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes.    Working Example:  http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview   This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh!   .no-animate {   transition-duration: 0.0125s; }    Research  Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow  http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing.    Another way which I've seen   Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532





















 Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article.  -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html     Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!      So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.         Problems getting into Developer Mode?    Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
