DEVLog - February

Hello everyone! I am back to share the progress of my latest projects during February. It was definitely a great month full of exciting developments and insights.

Scan Documents

A couple of months ago, I needed to scan some documents as part of my digitalization process (certificates, credentials, IDs, and more). To solve this problem, I built a document scanner application called Scan Documents. I introduced it last month in my DevLog - January.

During February, I made many improvements and nearly finished the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for launch. The main challenge was memory optimization and performance. I fixed these issues by using the Origin Private Filesystem (OPFS). This technology allows the app to move blobs from memory to storage. The app only loads them when needed instead of keeping everything in memory.

Scan Documents

Scan your images and create readable PDFs with them.

The app is almost ready to release. You can try it using the link above. I am just fixing some issues for browsers like Safari and Firefox. I am also implementing a feedback service that I can reuse across my projects.

IMG Processing

IMG Processing is a tool that helps you integrate image processing, analysis, and editing into your applications with ease. This month, I did not add new features. Instead, I focused on improving the test suite for existing features. This helps prevent major errors that were being discovered too late.

I also started thinking about creating new pages and guides to improve the developer experience. I have been using some prompts that work really well for this.

Image Processing API. A picture is worth a thousand words. Integrate powerful image processing capabilities into your applications in minutes.

You might think I have plans to add a document scanning endpoint. I tried for a couple of weeks this month, but I do not think it will be ready soon. However, the Scan Documents API will launch in a few months. When it does, I will add this feature as an API wrapper around Scan Documents.

SignatureAPI

SignatureAPI is a high-volume digital signature platform and the startup where I work.

This month, we focused on updating the Power Automate connectors with all the new features the API has received in the last quarter. Power Automate is a Microsoft tool that helps people automate workflows without writing code.

We also moved our frontends from Vercel to AWS Amplify. This change sets us up for bigger things coming next.

More Projects

Here are some other updates on my projects:

Website Migration to Astro

I started migrating my website to Astro. My current portfolio is built on Nuxt 2. Most of the dependencies are outdated. Many new features I want to implement (especially for SEO) cannot be integrated easily. They are either too complex or not possible with the current setup.

I would also like to move this blog to my website. However, I do not think that will happen this year.

AI Experiment

Out of curiosity, I started a new project to see if AI could build an app by itself. It failed. But I will probably work on it and launch it in the coming months.

What’s Next?

That’s it for February! I hope you enjoyed reading about my projects as much as I enjoyed working on them. I invite you to check out the links, contact me, give me feedback, and share with others. Let’s build together and change the world!

Thank you for reading. I hope to see you again in the next post!
