Filtering and Searching In Visible Content With AngularJS (Part 2/2)

Thu, 07 Apr 2016 21:00:00 +0000

In a previous post I had illustrated that a regular AngularJS filter is seldom sufficient to implement a search because the data displayed differs significantly from the data stored in the application model. Today I will present a solution to the problem that applies the filter to exactly what the user sees.

Multilingual Web Sites with Jekyll

Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:00:00 +0000

After waiting years on my TODO list I recently decided to tackle the project "web site". Since I no longer work for Imperia I was looking for a light-weight alternative.

The static site generator Jekyll stores tags site-wide. You need a little Ruby code if you want to want to maintain them per-language instead, as you would want on a multi-lingual site.

One thing that was still missing was support for tags respectively keywords.

Number Comparison Without Overflow

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 22:00:00 +0000

Both Dist::Zilla and Travis CI can greatly improve the quality of your Perl distribtions. But using them in combination causes issues. Fortunately, they can be easily solved.

Qgoda News (06/2023)

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 21:00:00 +0000

Both this website and the homepage of the Qgoda project have recently been relaunched, of course, with Qgoda, the static site generator (or headless CMS) for flexible and efficient creation of multi-lingua websites. That is reason enough to spread some news about and around Qgoda.
