Vacation times - React / Sthlm Open API / Quote App

Ok people some time has passed since I wrote anything and thats fine I guess, everybody needs their free time and time to recouperate in the ways that suits them. I am thinking of trying the Digital Nomad life and also incorporating more teaching to others be it by tech talks, spiritual enlightenment talks ( the constant ongoing journey.. ;)), or just regular teaching to youngsters in some form aswell as being able to play more music that would also tick my boxes so to speak.

When it comes to the developy part of life I have recently started looking into React ( after reading a bit about it and really digging how they do things as opposed to Angular (have not fully tested their part 2 but its also taking a similar approach in certain ways as to how React is handling things and that seems fun and the correct approach to take when it comes to building web-apps nowadays.

So I did a small demo application in React where I talk to an open stockholm API for commuter traffic ( metro, train, buses etc). The demo application (not done yet).. can be found here @

Also being a romantic.. and the world always needs more love ;).. I started to put together a quote app, basically giving the user a random love quote when entering the page and clicking a button to give them the quotes. This was more as a fun thing since most of the quote pages out there tends to just collect the data on different pages and its not as easily accessible or giving the amount of surprise that can happen when its being served randomly.
