Firebase Database with App Indexing

 Since the release of MyPatco a lot has improved and one of the major improvements was changing the backend architect. For the user this meant faster data in real-time. As well as a smaller app because most the data is handled in the plugin. However recently I've been contacting the firebase team with little success on making a firebase datase indexable for Google search. This is by design as the sitemap for the domain on the database prevents indexing. Note that the domin used for your firebase database is different from your your firebase hosting. The only solution currently around this as I know is hosting the database in gcloud as well as the website to edit the sitemap. As of 4/20/2017 from firebase team - " Our engineering team has confirmed that we don't support crawling non-HTTP network traffic like UDP, and the crawl failures you see in Search   Console's   Fetch As Google tool won't   block   your apps from being indexed by Google and getting re-engag

Making my own CMS

    Back in 2012, I started writing out my own idea an cms or what one should look like and how it should interact with its developers. I've looked at other cms projects and even contributed to my favorite one which is orchard. After jump around different technologies though I would still say a mean server application is probably the best choice for productivity and mobility with other technologies. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the code is I can simply it with javascript. This is my take on a cms and before I start writing any code and I actually have my own set of requirements to achieve. Features Function to wrap and unwrap a components with the container class. Function to make an element a link, plus add new target, and what it points to. A lot like what's in blogger when creating a post. reorder the records in a table and other permanently actions for simpler code. embed static content from the backend into static html, because somethings don

Paypal's Brand and Material's Styling

Image
   Since google wallet is no longer available I've moved all my purchase features to paypal or other third parties if android pay isn't possible. While working on updates for Aptitude-Words and thinking about MyPatco I thought of what the material design version of paypal would look like . Since Apt-words is getting an update for the design. Font & Styling     From what I can find paypal uses  Verdana Bold Italic  and Google uses Droid Sans for the material design. Since the paypal icon will be either an icon or image I don't  have to much concern for this just wanted to make a note of it.  Speaking of icons font-awesome version 4.7.0 has the latest style of paypal if someone is looking to append this.

MyPatco Roadmap for 2017

   If you have been following updates on mypatco's twitter account then you know that there has been a lot of updates since the initial release of mypatco. Now what I want to do is make plans for whats lays ahead for this project which I've been spot on for getting things do so far.  The highest on my list is finishing the ios app. The second is the app indexing because I think it will greatly help the app's grow faster than it currently is, which isn't bad but just simply improve out of interest. The end goal of this app is to become the number one app for patco and provide a great user experience for patco users even if I no longer use it. Third update is more straight forward and almost done. Just display the messages in the email as alerts on the mobile devices. The feature I would like to add to this requires a little oversight on my part but ultimately become  a tool for me to perform quick group updates for schedules on the fly. This is one way I see it and anot

Loading Spinners inside Modal - Bootstrap

This solution for both static html and can be setup inside directive for angular 1.X. Just like with some of css3 I created awhile back these spinners ready as soon as the client hits the page hence way there's a static version.  A directive could be made to for dynamic situations like http requests.  This implementation goes inside div or inside another component, while the global spinner closes the children and takes over.   <div style="position:relative;height: 95px"  ng-show="data.length == 0">     <div id="my-modal" class="modal fade in show" style="position: absolute">       <div class="modal-dialog" style="width: 100px;margin-top: 2px;">         <div class="modal-content">           <div class="modal-body">             <div class="spinner"></div>           </div>         </div>       </div>     </div&

Why you might want to use Amp

Currently working on a blogger template that is completely stripped down to bare bones to setup a AMP site. This just a list of reasons why you start using AMP at least for maybe for blogs which I'm more interested. I wouldn't recommend for business sites just yet. Unless you're site is very simple and straight forward or mostly middler-tier based anyway. Pro's Everything in a AMP site is styled directly in the beginning of the site, no external stylesheets (a huge performance boost). Global styling forces developer to think globally about their styles. So the styles run more like a style guide. Styles are limited about the total amount for AMP making developers to do more with less. No inline-styles this is a plus because there is no surprises for other developers jumping in or modifying (look at cons). No inline javascript, where this is the same for inline styling. No external javascript, this is really something you will want to know before getting into AM

Material Angular Time Picker

Image
    Continuing off my article on android's material timepickers I wanted to include this feature in the web based version of mypatco. I don't think it will be officially included in the material angular project but just something I could have as my own and if anyone comes across it to use it just as any other component. The key difference with timepickers vs. datepicker just picking time, since time is a more necessary feature for cases like notifications or alerts/alarms. Missing Cancel/Ok Buttons First and foremost I recommend checking out the project which I forked to personalize and strip out any code related to datepicker. Since the datepicker is already implemented in material angular, instead I'm just going to focus on time pickers.   The rest of my notes are in the repo's issue tracking . You may see the results on mypatco.org for an example.
