Projects

https://github.com/khaledtb/json_edit

Source code

A chrome extension to turn the old boring Textarea in Swagger-UI API specs into a fully-featured JSON editor to enhance the experience of developers working with a large amount of JSON data.

I felt the need to create this extension when backend developers sent me API endpoints to use in my frontend code with Swagger-UI generated with Loopback backend frameworks. Over time it became frustrating reading or editing large amounts of JSON which lead to more errors and a bad user experience.

Technologies used: JavaScript, Chrome Extensions API.

Spotify Mood Analyser

Since I love music and coding so much, I'm in the process of building a plateform that uses Spotify API to log in and read your listening history and likes and analyse songs properties (like tempo, time signature, sample rate ...), then translate them to charts and visuals to track the user's mood. In this project, I wanted to interact more with some backend technologies.

Technologies used: Reactjs, d3js, Express, Node, PostgreSQL, Ant Design, GraphQL, Apollo.
