Mizoine: Step 5. Move to Single-Page Application
After over one year use and collecting pretty big document base (over 1G) I can measure/profile running application.
Each server round-trip takes more than 1.5 MB traffic. All the scripts and other static resources are being downloaded over and over again. Browser cache doesn’t really work because of secure connection limitations. HTTPS requests are not being cached on client side. Probably because of custom SSL certificate.
Anyway, I have decided to give a try to Vue.js and dramatically refactor whole application front end.
Long story short: I have successfully managed it. Performance has been definitely increased. Back end API improved, better structured and even simplified at important points.
Here are the problems to solve when switching from classic web to SPA (single-page application):
- An SPA framework required for front-end. UI programming is more complicated
- UI components are being defined on front end side as well. Complex javascript file structure is required
- Server should be organised to deliver 3 types of resources:
- Static resources (images, styles, scripts)
- Dynamic API (for communication over AJAX/REST requests)
- Page addresses (specially configured for SPA) – which are visible URLs in browser
Windows vs. Mac
Who is comparing?
Me 2019: Professional software developer (Java, Web, business applications). Using both Mac and Windows computers for work and at home.
What model/brand/version exactly?
MacBook Pro vs. diverse Windows desktops, notebooks, tablets.
vs.
TL;DR
MacBook is sufficient for work (software development) and has much more convenient hardware as any Windows PC.
Today I definitely prefer MacBook for work.

Problems to solve
- Missing tools for repository management, backup, inconsistency problems solving
- Multi-user access
- Versioning (history of changes)
- Cross-linking, referencing repository objects from/to other repository objects
- Off-line access
- Quick search
- Performance

Now I have a web application with some text output.
It’s time to find The Front-end Framework!
Mizoine: How I create Java application. Step 2. Setup.
Development setup
- Create new empty project in Bitbucket repository. Name: mizoine
- Create new Jira story “Mizoine – Issue tracking”
- IDE: Eclipse Oxygen
- Mylyn: Select task – Jira “Mizoine – Issue tracking”
- Project: Maven based
- Create new Maven project. Name: mizoine. Package: com.gratchev. Version: 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
- Check Maven generated all appropriate folders, etc.
- Bind project with git repository from Bitbucket
Tools used so far
- Eclipse
- Bitbucket
- Jira
Mizoine: How I create Java application. Step 1. Identity.
Idea
Create an issue tracking system inspired by Jira™.
Actually, same as Jira™, but with improvements:
- Completely based on file system:
- Simple and transparent back-ups, cloning, and everything what file system is good for
- Easy to setup, repair or monitor with existing tools
- Version tracking using git™
- Use only open and well-community-supported frameworks for everything
- Add features, missing in Jira
- Rename attachments
- Meta for attachments (description, dates)
- Move comments between issues
- Edit comments meta (creation date, etc.)
- Move attachments between issues
- Search by file name and description
- Improved previews and thumbnails for attachments (for example PDF thumbnails)
- etc.
- ???
- PROFIT!
Step 1: Project identity
Name
Use existing open tools for name generation. Do not invent a name.
Species name generator → Mizoine
Use existing open tools for icon generation.
Identicon generator: generate your identicon avatar
Export Facebook and similar Events to your (Google) Calendar
Aim
- Always have up-to-date Facebook events, which I’m attending to, in my calendar (I use Google Calendar)
- Additionally sync to other calendar-related services, like Doodle
- Use LAMP server to update (import-export) calendar
This is a draft. Research phase.
Deploy java application JAR to Raspberry Pi using Maven and Eclipse
Software
- Windows
- WinSCP
- Eclipse (Luna) with embedded Maven (m2e) plug-in (tested also on Mars release)
Project (in Eclipse)
Create new Maven project or open a Java project and add Maven Nature to it.
When you add new dependencies to the project (in pom.xml), Eclipse automatically downloads all required libraries (in JAR files) into Maven repository and sets appropriate links to the files in the project build path.
So the application can be started directly from Eclipse in standard way: Use “Run as Java application” menu item for your main class.
We will not use “Export to runnable JAR file” function of the Eclipse to create a JAR for our application. We will create this file using Maven ‘install’ goal instead. Continue reading
Home scan station based on Raspberry Pi
Aim
Scan documents, photos and everything with one button press. Copy scanned images to common file server (network attached server, NAS).
- Use simple USB scanner as network attached independent device.
- No need to use PC for scan.
- No need to install scanner drivers on all computers in home network.
- Easy to use:
- Turn on the system
- Insert paper to scan
- Press “Scan” button on scanner
- Wait until scan is done
- Find image file on file server later on
Hardware
I have used following gadgets to create a scan station
0. Home LAN: Router, swithches, LAN wires, etc.
1. Raspberry Pi RBCA000 mainboard (ARM 1176JZF-S, 512MB RAM, HDMI, 2x USB 2.0, 3,5 Watt)
1.2 Connection cables: HDMI-DVI, USB (diverse, see below), LAN Continue reading
