Not long ago, I realized I'd reached the goals set to myself [extending-the-original-mvp/] for when the app should be made publicly available. It was time to deploy it. I'm going to explain the few things I needed to solve so that the app is fully functional

In the previous post [https://devjournal.balinterdi.com/thinking-about-conditional-linking/], I outlined what I need and a possible solution to make it work. Here, I'm going to briefly write about how I implemented it and include the screencast which gives you a glimpse into the process. If you prefer

In certain apps, there's a need to show data from related resources that might or might not exist. One example that comes to mind is a wiki where an article can link to other articles which might not be present. In my case, I knew very early on

Having decided that I want to include the ability of stepping through chess games in the MVP [https://devjournal.balinterdi.com/extending-the-original-mvp/], I set to implementing that feature. My first thought was to not reinvent the wheel and use chessboard.js [https://github.com/oakmac/chessboardjs] to render the chess

I was hooked and signed up to EmberMap's animation workshop at EmberConf. Having finished the workshop, my enthusiasm rose to new levels. I decided

This is one of those posts where I'll describe the challenge I've faced and how I overcame it, so that you, dear reader, can hopefully learn how not to get bogged down with the same problem. The issue was that the chart on the Player details
As I didn't start this journal when I started the project itself, there are some things that already work. Here, I'd like to present a quick list of these features and possibly, in future journal entries, I'll write about a few of the more

MVP is probably not the right word to use as I don't think Sac Sac Mate can be considered a product (though it might become one in the future) but I'd like to lay out a set of features to my readers and to myself that
