I left my full time job about 3 months ago to start my own software consulting venture. Ive maintained projects from old clients I had on the side, and also created and launched a new project for a client (RN mobile app). Still have to get an online presence setup for the company. Its been going well so far, and I am looking forward to new projects and clients in 2018.

I launched ScrumGenius (https://scrumgenius.com). Its a side project I started for fun at my previous job (it was just a simple slack bot script back then) and decided to actually build a service and launch it a few months ago. I did not take it too seriously at first, I was just using it to learn. However, after reading indiehackers and other people launching products I was really inspired to give it a try. Its been steadily growing and it makes around $300/mo.

Hoping to continue to grow it even more in 2018.

If anyone is looking for a end to end consultant that does Full Stack Dev with experience in mobile and web! Please do reach out, would love to talk! I am based in Canada and UK.

BroadConnect - Downtown Toronto, Canada - Graduate/Co-Op/Full-Time

SUMMARY

Our engineering department functions like an independent startup, with financial backing from an established company with a healthy bottom line.

We're looking for someone to help with front end development - notably, visualization of data generated from our back end and big data team.

Experience with Angular, D3 and REST is an asset, but your eagerness and ability to learn trumps all!

You should consider yourself a full stack engineer, despite focusing on front end, as our dev culture strives to have everyone learn a bit of everything.

Our software engineering group functions more or less as a startup of the parent company, addressing specific pain points in the telecoms industry. We apply lessons and tactics from the fast the fast moving consumer web to bring great UI/UX to the enterprise space.

We are small engineering team looking to expand rapidly by hiring smart people. Our focus is on keeping up with best practices and staying DRY. We strive to create a great culture where learning is just as important as “doing” (i.e. grunt work).

About You

You are software engineer with a desire to improve yourself. You enjoy working on challenging tasks but also knows that some grunt work needs to be done from time to time. You are ideally a full stack engineer who is as comfortable with the frontend as the backend. You enjoy reading up on best practises and keeping with the fast past world of web development.

Could you share what companies you are referring to? Which finance companies use Python? I am soon to graduate and I would like to find something in London that is using Python or C/C++.

I am not if I should start a new thread but if this exact question was asked but instead of a senior dev, a university graduate (with experience in a large company and a startup). What would your suggestions be? (also.. I am located in UK)

Haha no worries.

Yea it does sound like you are doing a bunch of work arounds, I can now appreciate the development time for this. However, the clean design hides all these hacks :) I assume you had tried the youtube IFrame API etc in the background page etc? But I guess if you were to use that then the elements on the youtube player are there and you don't really need it.

That weighting feature for the radio is gold - its kept me listening since I installed it! I had not thought of that when developing my app (https://github.com/viperfx/ng-juketube), I just used the mix's. I have been using your extension since I installed it, I might have to use this and not my own app :) or improve my one.

One bug I did notice is that videos tend to overlap, what I mean by this is that some videos seem to be smaller so you can see the previous video paused or stopped in the background and the current video playing over it - you notice it because the current video is somehow smaller.

I look forward to the updates.

Hey just thought I would give you an update on my progress. I have so far covered pretty much all the client functionality that you had and a few added in myself. The functionality is like I said in my previous comment, where the host is the only one that plays the music, but both host and all clients connected can interact with the player/playlist in realtime and all the data is updated in realtime for everyone connected in that room. I will be uploading to github soon after some more testing :)
