CodeProject challenges

[Pete OHanlon]

Sounds like it could be fun. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to this before the middle of September, but this could well be a fun little challenge.

[PIEBALDconsult]

Sounds like a clbuttic mistake looking for a place to happen.

[OriginalGriff]

I thought so too - until I got to the "Javascript" bit... :laugh:

You looking for sympathy? You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric (Page 1788, if it helps)

[Pete OHanlon]

I'll just write it in Typescript. I've been using it a lot lately, and I like the way it works. It almost makes JavaScript enjoyable.

[Rage]

I am sure you checked out before, but: you should not be the first one to tackle this. Before we reinvent the wheel, is there really nothing out there in the wild interweb that already does the job ?

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

[Jeremy Falcon]

I'd be interested in using it, that's for certain.

Why JavaScript? This sort of stuff should be happening on the server(s) right?

       .-.
      |o,o|
   ,| \_\\=/\_      .-""-.
   ||/\_/\_\\\_\\    /\[\] \_ \_\\
   |\_/|(\_)|\\\\  \_|\_o\_LII|\_
      \\.\_./// / | ==== | \\
      |\\\_/|"\` |\_| ==== |\_|
      |\_|\_|    ||" ||  ||
      |-|-|    ||LI  o ||
      |\_|\_|    ||'----'||
     /\_/ \\\_\\  /\_\_|    |\_\_\\

[OriginalGriff]

"almost" That's the key word here... :laugh:

Speed: you want it to happen in the client so it's fast (and doesn't stress the servers). Think of the annoying "pauses" you sometimes get when pasting code into a CP textbox, and imagine typing with that going on... X|

I always thought that's what the grammar pedants were here for. Now the OPs can get abuse direct from the website. :~ Kidding aside, it sounds like a worthy cause, however, will the spelling and grammar correction improve the content or the amount of effort put into a posting or article? Your fuel efficiency may fluctuate under different usage conditions.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

[DaveX86]

...hope it includes an 'off' switch...some of my misspellings are kinda my way of expressing myself, ya know? :)

[Pete OHanlon]

Yeah well, I'm not that much of a masochist :D

[Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter]

You have time until next summer? But really - I would love to help with this, but time is a serious factor just now for me...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

[DaveAuld]

Just spend some of your petty cash on a commercial license of this http://www.javascriptspellcheck.com/[^], someones done the work already! :)

Of course, CP could be moving towards Node.JS - that would be really good :D

How can you not love Javascript[^]?

Will there be a nuclear option for the words "codez" and "plz"?

New feature needed, automatically check urls are valid and point to what you are expecting?

[Chris Maunder]

I have checked. There's stuff that's close. But not as fun as making it perfect ourselves and having an excuse to throw some prizes out... ;)

cheers Chris Maunder

[Pete OHanlon]

Does it help you link[^] properly?
