MayJuun Connect - Add Contacts via QR Code

Tuesday, Mar 15, 2022 by John Manning, MD, FAMIA, FACEP

Intro - When flying to a conference, I had inspiration to optimize the means by which my contact information is shared with others. Building apps like these are well within our wheelhouse at MayJuun, and this step seemed like a nice upgrade from the basic business card. Credit where it’s due, this app builds heavily upon the open-source (MIT License) QR Code generator library called Project Nayuki. I’ve used their code-generator in a number of projects and recommend them highly.

Step 1: Homebrew + Fish + iTerm2 To get started, you need to follow the Automatic Installation steps on my iterm-fish-fisher repo, or you can just copy/paste the same steps that are listed below.

Podcasting in an Open-Source Era

Sunday, May 2, 2021 by John Manning, MD, FAMIA, FACEP

Intro - Well, I can’t say this is something I’ll do with frequency, so I might as well write about this path on the meta-blog. We created an informatics podcast recently, available here. From the time we recorded the original podcast to the time we had all steps/automation established, we unfortunately found ourselves in a position of needing to rebrand. Looking back, this proved most beneficial, as it forced me to reflect on the steps I previously took to create a podcast that harnesses GitHub and Hugo for its RSS feeds.

pdf2json: A Step-by-Step Guide

Friday, Mar 26, 2021 by John Manning, MD, FAMIA, FACEP

Intro - Well, I can’t say this issue will come up too often for others…but should you ever need it, here are the exact steps you can take to convert all the text from a PDF file into a JSON file with key-value pairs of "page#" : "all page text without extra white space". Note that page# is an integer that starts at 1, not 0. I needed this in a project where the Flutter packages that performed PDF search functions were not performant, had memory leaks, or seemed to work inconsistently across platforms.

Bucket List Accomplished! My First Meta-Blog Post

Thursday, Mar 25, 2021 by Matt Mercer

Intro - My First Meta-Blog Post! This has been a challenge to get to this point, and hopefully I haven’t corrupted the entire website, but here is my first post. This is really more of a test of my ability in GIT to make the changes from my fork and create a pull request to upate the changes. Sounds easy, right? Not so much…after watching the intro video, I knew I was in for a challenge because I didn’t understand alot of the terminology or have a ‘favorite code editor’.

Get Fluttered: MVC+S Architecture, Example

Thursday, Jan 14, 2021 by John Manning, MD, FAMIA, FACEP

Intro - To all who watched my original GetFluttered: MVC+S Architecture video, I want to thank you immensely for your patience. Before making new GetFluttered videos, we wanted to implement: A means to provide written, supplemental info … Meta-Blog; A complex, production-level MVC+S example … PRAPARE app; & A means for others to join / collaborate … FlutterJuun Slack invite. With these elements now firmly established, it should be easier to follow along with GetFluttered content by comparing simple + complex code examples that achieve the same objective.

A Meta-Post for a Meta-Blog

Thursday, Nov 19, 2020 by John Manning, MD, FAMIA, FACEP

Welcome to the Informatics Meta-Blog - Knowledge is power…and best shared with others. This is the place where any informatician, innovator, or entrepreneur can crowd-source contribute and build upon each others’ knowledge. Many of the things I post here will be open-source and moderately technical, but that’s only my preference. If there’s something else you want to share about healthcare, informatics, innovation, or entrepreneurship, please feel free. Try to add/share some knowledge if you can…don’t just post something that’s a shameless plug for your work.
