Something that interested me this week

I finally https://twitter.com/cassidoo/status/1231098015978385409">finished one of keyboard projects this week! Check out the linked thread for the process. It was a long build (I actually have to resolder a couple parts of it to really finish it) that took a few years to gather all of the parts, and I’m really happy https://twitter.com/cassidoo/status/1231442445247766528">with the final result!



By the way, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cassidoo/go-on-the-go?ref=dj6n7u">my Kickstarter project is still live! It’s fully funded (woo hoo!) and I am so grateful for any and all support. If you’d like to join in, you have one week left!


Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you make a typing game! We had some fun responses, nice work Sean, Ten, Stefan, Dimitris, Oswaldo, Galdin, and Jesse!



This week’s question:
Write an event emitter that has three methods: on, emit, and removeListener.
The on function takes in an event name and a callback function, the emit function takes in an event name and data (which will be passed to the associated callback), and removeListener takes in an event name and a callback to remove from that event.
