Weeknote #11 for the week ending 5th July 2020.

## At work

- After 2 weeks of designing, I finished the key screens for an onboarding project. I'm now looking at the best way to develop a HTML prototype, whilst producing isolated HTML/CSS/JS components that are developer friendly
- I researched style guide tools ([Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/), [Pattern Lab](https://patternlab.io/) and [Fractal](https://fractal.build/))
- I settled on Fractal, which is a tool that helps develop powerful component libraries and styleguides that fit the way you work
- I also considered building my own tool
- My MVP video on demand service had it's 5th and final event launch. I now have some time over the summer months to make improvements before new events launch in September

## After work

- I setup a new computer this week
- Setup went very smoothly, however I struggled to migrate my local development environment which is running on Vagrant / Homestead. I ended up migrating each project manually rather than exporting the entire virtual machine
- I decided to become more prudent with Dropbox to prevent my hard drive filling up in a matter of seconds. I'm now selectively syncing certain folders
- I managed to actually animate something in After Effects. It reminded me of the first time I animated something in Flash - I guess you got to start somewhere...
- It's nice knowing that once you've rendered your video, It's final. You don't have to worry about cross platform browser issues for a change

## Life

- My mum arrived for a post lockdown holiday - it's been magical watching my mum and son re-connect
- We went to [Hostens](https://www.hostens.fr/) over the weekend to visit the lake and have a little swim
