Premiere Player

Premiere Player is an experimental music player built with Premiere, React, and MobX consuming a Rails API.

With this project, I experimented with embedding YouTube videos on a website and using classes for models, caching data locally and preloading when necessary so that loading pages feel instant.

FormFor

FormFor is a React library for building forms focused on productivity and UI/UX consistency.

This project aims to leverage HTML5 capabilities with no overhead to the developer during the implementation, such that new forms can be created quickly and follow the app's design directives.

Premiere

Premiere is a JavaScript library for authorizing, fetching, caching, and submitting API data.

The library was built with RESTful APIs in mind, following standards set by leading frameworks such as Ruby on Rails and Laravel. By making assumptions about how to handle data and how to communicate with the server, it greatly reduces the amount of code required to implement a new feature.

Jewell

Jewell is an experimental project that leverages the power of an ES6 proxy to provide syntax sugar that facilitates writing clean code.

This library sees the most significant impact when it comes to arrays, allowing a much shorter syntax, such as diamonds.map.price to list all the price properties in various diamond objects.
