Ember & Electron for Desktop Apps
Medium ·Aug 25, 2016, 4:21 PM
Recently at Nimbo X we realised our end users would greatly benefit from having a “Desktop-like experience” when using our app, so we set ourselves to produce a first version of it. In this post we’ll explain our experience from a technical point of view. Download it now for OS X & Windows Publishing it to the “App Stores” distribution channels is still a work in progress, which deserves a post for itself, where we’ll narrate the bureaucratic experience while submitting the app.Meet Electron ⚛electron.atom.ioElectron is a runtime environment based on Node.js & Chromium. It allows creating desktop applications using regular web technologies, giving them access to the filesystem, hardware, OS notifications, etc. Ember + ElectronThe awesome ember-electron addon by Felix Rieseberg allowed us to quickly build app executables for major platforms by simply running: ember electron:packageIt wraps other amazing tools, like ember-packager and electron-osx-sign, into a single easy-to-use package. Other tools we relied on were: <a...

2do Meetup Ember Monterrey — Overview: EmberCLI, Ember Data, JSON API & Mirage
Medium ·Aug 18, 2016, 4:25 PM
https://medium.com/media/66b11acda714ae47a108697fcf538112/hrefUna de las primeras preguntas que nos hacemos como developers después de aprender lo básico de un framework front-end como Ember es: Cómo creamos aplicaciones para problemas reales, con un backend y una base de datos como cimientos que nos permitirán escalarla?Ember Data es una capa de abstracción que nos permitirá conectar nuestra aplicación SPA (client-side) con nuestro backend API de manera transparente, asegurando la mayor compatibilidad y la menor fricción posible. Sin embargo es común que durante la etapa de prototipeo alguna de las siguientes situaciones se presenten: No somos/tenemos desarrolladores backendAun no se ha decidido el stack (proveedores, arquitectura, base de datos, framework)Tiempo y recursos limitadosPor estas y otras razones es conveniente usar una herramienta como ember-cli-mirage para contar desde un inicio con un API que asemeje al real, lo que nos permitira: Ser agiles al crear, adaptar y descartar ideas rapidamenteBest practices desde el inicio: TDD (Test-driven development)Productividad y escalabilidad de equipos de desarrolloSlidesOVERVIEW: EMBER-CLI, EMBER DATA, JSON API & MIRAGE by Benjamin Orozco...

Ember PostgREST Dynamic UI — An approach to flexible & easy-to-maintain interfaces
Medium ·Jul 20, 2016, 12:52 AM
This is a pet-project I worked on during the Hack Week (July 13–15th) at eCareSoft. It emerged from a casual chat between Jorge Camargo and I discussing ways to achieve dynamic forms for different medical specialties at Nimbo X, while keeping it simple and easy to maintain.

Ember PostgREST Dynamic UI — An approach to flexible & easy-to-maintain interfaces was originally published in The Backlog by Ecaresoft on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
Dev Notes: Fuzzy Search on PostgreSQL
Medium ·May 6, 2016, 6:54 PM
My previous experience with search in Rails was 5+ years ago, then I used Sphinx as a Full-Text external search engine, which seems to have gone out of fashion. At Nimbo X we use pg_search rails gem for searching purposes, with Full-Text already enabled in PostgreSQL itself, which has worked for us so far. Nevertheless, with the increase of usage among practicians, along with our recent introduction of Medispan, support tickets related to mismatched search queries have become a cause of pain for the team. We knew our users deserve better. #MayThe4thBeWithYouFirst we needed to understand the current landscape on psql search. Luckily PgSearch documentation pointed us in the right direction: along with full-text search, other algorithms are supported through PostgreSQL contrib packages: fuzzystrmatch (Levenshtein, Double Metaphone) & pg_trgm (Trigrams). AlgorithmsLevenshtein (a.k.a. match difference)Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the difference between two sequences. Informally, the Levenshtein distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character edits (i.e....
