Tracking Code Time ⏲️💻

-

If you code professionally or as a hobby or are just learning to code, tracking code time can be very useful to you as it can unlock some valuable insights for you.

I recently came across one such tool and have a overview of its features here.
Wakatime is one of those tools. the help of a  you can easily logs all your coding activities like:
▪️which editor you are using
▪️which project you are working on
▪️which language you are using
All that data is presented very gracefully on the wakatime dashboard.

Another great feature of wakatime is goals where you can set goals for yourself and wakatime will keep track of those goals and send reminders via mail as well.
This can help you if you are trying to learn a certain framework or library or language or maybe you are trying to learn a new editor like vim.

Wakatime also has other features like shareable embeddables, leaderboards, integrations etc. This kind of gamifies programming and makes it a little more fun.

Wakatime is is not the only tool for this but I find wakatime is unintrusive and a breeze to setup. Wakatime is available for most of the editors that are used today, you just need to install the extension or plugin and enter the API key when asked.

Remove Screen Flickering OBS 💻📹

I was recently trying out OBS for my new YouTube Channel ! but faced weird flickering issues when recording, after a lot of tweaking I found the solution.  You have to turn of Vsync on your system. On KDE the steps are as follows: Open System Settings Then go to Display and Monitor section Click on Compositor Here, change Tearing Prevention (vsync) to Never This should do the trick. Try again and you shouldn't face flickering issues anymore.

Preview of GitHub with Dark Mode There are lots of extensions out there that turn your web browsing experience much better if you prefer dark backgrounds (who doesn't right?). My favourite one is Dark Reader but there's just one problem, mobile versions of chrome don't support extensions. This trick will help you turn on dark mode everywhere. Steps: Visit Chrome flags by entering chrome://flags/ into the address bar. Search for dark in the flags search bar. On Desktop versions you'll have to enable the flag "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents" which is tagged #enable-force-dark . On Android versions you'll have to enable the flag "Darken websites checkbox in themes setting" which is tagged #darken-websites-checkbox-in-themes-setting . Restart Chrome and enjoy the dark side. That's all, Thank you for reading. Hopefully this post was helpful to you, see you in the next one.
