• We at Feeder also built a COVID-19 aka Corona Dashboard, but for incoming news on the subjects such as news, travel advice and research. It’s also built with Ember.js!

Hi! Saw the ping regarding Corona Dashboard. Would love to discuss more about it (and Ember ofc) we moved to Ember in 2017 and have since migrated over time to Ember + typescript, angle bracket components, and now slowly to octane.

[amyrlam]

@erkie thanks for the ping! We can workshop on a GitHub branch off of this PR if you're up for it. Are you on the Ember Discord chat also? I'm @ amyrlam on there or #support-ember-times is our channel

BTW meant to respond to your comment on Discuss sooner! But was a busy week, esp with EmberConf

[ttill]

@amyrlam Thanks for bringing my message up, here. Really appreciate this. As we just had a story on another great (QR) code scanner in Ember Times (whose somewhat suboptimal wording triggered my message on discord): Do you think actually actually is any interest in another story on such a niche addon (at least that's what I imagine it to be)?

[amyrlam]

@ttill makes sense. how about a correction to the blog post? i can draft a sample PR

aside: maybe we can propose a QR category on https://emberobserver.com/?

[ttill]

@amyrlam Yeah sure, although not really a necessity for me personally, that's a good idea.

Regarding adding a catetory on ember observer: Indeed such addons do not fit into any of the existing categories nicely, however a search for "qr code" on ember observer currently only yields 8 results - But then again there are other categories that are even smaller... So I would back such a proposal.

[amyrlam]

@ttill sounds good, let me address the old issue soon, and can tag you on the PR.

also can ping ember observer, let's find out! seems useful.

thanks for the reply
