WiFi Tool

I was working on a WiFi app (named WiFiMate) for university students.

It was basically an app for pakistani university students where they can connect to “Eduroam” using multiple accounts without having to forget the network and rewrite the account details again.

For this, I have to work with connecting the app with mobile WiFi.

The problem was there was no package supported with expo that can connect with wifi programmatically.

So, for that I have to convert my app to bare workflow. After that, I used a package to connect to wifi by the click of one button.

But, the problem didn’t end there.

For final demo, I have to connect with edurom which requires more information to connect rather than just password. It requires identity (in this case my university email) and also password. This thing comes under enterprise wifi.

But, the package that I was using didn’t support connecting with enterprise wifi. So, I have to write my native code to connect to enterprise wifis.

But, After that, my app build stopped and I am still getting build error because of react-native-reanimated library and didn’t found the solution.

This project was supposed to be present in my next YouTube video but due to this error, I wasn’t able to upload video this week.

In case you are reading this entry in future, I have github repo of this project: https://github.com/itspsychocoder/WiFiMate

Personal Linktree Clone

After getting error on WiFiMate, I was looking for project that I can make video on. And got the idea of building this website.

If you know about Linktree, its platform where you get a link and you can add your social media and other links there, and add that single linktree link to your instagram, twitter, youtube bio and share it anywhere you want.

I personally used linktree but it had few customization options & some options require premium account.

So, I thought lets make my personal version of linktree where I can add all of my social media links, projects, blogs at one place and share the link where I want.

This way, I can customize the whole page as I want and I can also add more sections other than just links.

So, next video will be on this project, maybe within 2-3 days or next week.

200 Repos

I just created 200th repo on my Github profile. This marks my double century in github repositories ;)
