Send achievements to fellow coworkers and teams
Very much a work in progress, and not styled, but a fun experiment none the less
Early stages of a project I had been wanting to build for a long time. While it all technically works, it is clearly not pretty :) When I worked for Vectorform, the team I was on was putting in crazy hours and morale was pretty low as it didn't really feel like anyone took notice of what we were doing. So to try and find a way to push through that, I had created an adobe AIR application that everyone could leave running on their machines. I "borrowed" the xbox achievement graphics, and anytime someone wanted to recognize another team member they could send an achievement that would then run the xbox achievement animation on everyone's machine and show what the person had accomplished. The project ended up being more fun to use than anyone thought. It basically became a meme generator of sorts. We quickly started seeing achievements like: Achievement Unlocked "No Doze": No sleep for more than 48hours Achievement Unlocked "It Gave Me Wings": 6 Redbulls in 6 hours I wanted to bring this project to development and support teams everywhere, so I started rebuilding it as a web application now that browsers could display notifications.
ES6 JS / HTML / CSS (webpack etc..) NodeJS backend Neo4j Graph Database backend Webworkers (for support of the browser notifications) Firebase integration Google OAuth2 integration Ansible deployment into proxmox lxc containers
