Unleashing Creativity with TypeScript: Students Build Unelma Platforms-Inspired Projects

REACT24S group at Helsinki Business College has set to learn TypeScript under the supervision of their instructor. They've been working on projects related to the ecosystem of Unelma Platforms. Their classmates—a bold and excellent student group thinking cohort—have been asked to design functional software systems to demonstrate the versatility of Typescript, teamwork, problem-solving, and collaboration. Their projects demonstrate ranging ambition from a simple URL shortening service to cloud file managers, capturing the essence of software engineering. 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Here are some of the 4 popular platforms used by the students

 

1. unelma.io

2. unelmamail.com

3. unelmacloud.com

4. snapvalid.com

 

API's for these services are publicly and freely available for signed in users:

 

1.  https://unelma.io/api-docs 

2.  https://core.unelmamail.com/frontend/docs/api/v1  

3.  https://unelmacloud.com/api-docs

4.  https://snapvalid.readme.io/reference/snapvalid-api-documentation 

 

 
Let's analyze the lessons and experiences they gained while building the Unelma Platforms-inspired projects.
 

The Projects: A Showcase of Innovation

 

1. GitFlicks - Unelma.io

 

GitHub: GitFlicks

 

One of the simple projects from the REACT24S group is GitFlicks, a URL-shortening app inspired by the Unelma.io platform. Unelma.io offers a URL shortening service, and the GitFlicks team and their classmates developed a project to provide users with a seamless way to explore URL shortening. 

 

2. Subscriber App - UnelmaMail.com

 

GitHub: Subscriber App

 

Bhaskar and his student team took on the challenge of building a Subscriber App for UnelmaMail.com, a project focused on managing email subscriptions. 

 

3. File Manager - UnelmaCloud.com

 

GitHub: File Manager (Andrei), File Manager (Maria), Unelma Cloud Clone

 

Students like Andrei, Maria, and Mehedi tackled the challenges of cloud-based file management through the File Manager project, which was motivated by UnelmaCloud.com. The students compared the UnelmaCloud API to other APIs, such as Spotify and OpenWeather, as part of this ambitious project. Although UnelmaCloud's API was reliable, the team noted in their report that handling authentication and error responses needed to be done carefully. 

 

 

 

The process of development was a wild ride. "We learned valuable lessons for the future, even though fixing problems with the API wasn't always successful," Andrei said. The team had to delve deeply into typescript's async/await patterns and error-handling mechanisms because of problems like rate limits and inconsistent API responses. Maria concentrated on the front end, using CSS to guarantee a polished appearance and React to create a streamlined user interface. "Even if it's a small project, meetings are important," Maria said. 

 

 

 

Mehedi's Unelma Cloud Clone utilized a diverse methodology, testing with additional highlights like record sneak peeks. Gatherings were basic to keeping the project on track. Live talks produced imaginative thoughts, counting progressing record transfers and executing drag-and-drop functionality. These conceptualizing gatherings were useful.

 

4. Email Validation - SnapValid.com

 

Github: TS_Group_App

 

For SnapValid.com, Jonathan and his team created an Email Validation app intended to accurately and quickly validate email addresses. The team developed a dependable system that checks email forms and validates them. The project mainly relied on React for the front end, emphasizing creating reusable components to speed up development.

 

The group discovered that "using more components" was essential to keeping the codebase scalable and clean. But they also had to face the fact that "not everything works as expected." Concerns such as managing edge cases in email validation logic tested their patience through iterative testing and live discussions, the team improved their strategy. It transformed obstacles into opportunities to expand their knowledge of TypeScript and React.

 

Lessons Learned: Growth Through Challenges

 

The REACT24S students didn't just build projects—they built resilience and confidence. Across all four projects, several key lessons emerged:

 

  • The power and precision of TypeScript: The static type of TypeScript helped students catch errors before shipping and made our codebase more predictable. They were able to create good interfaces for API responses and props, that improved development time and also reduced runtime bugs.
  • Frequent face-to-face or remote meetings were key for sharing aims and igniting ideas. "Ideas are born live" during conversations, one student said, commending brainstorming.
  • Embracing Imperfection: Not everything worked out as they wanted, and sometimes, "API integrations were also known to throw unexpected errors at times". Still, those lessons also taught them the power of patience and perseverance.
  • Component-Based Thinking: The students saved time by breaking their applications into reusable TypeScript components and creating more maintainable codebases.

The Bigger Picture: Why These Projects Matter

 

While not just didn't exercises, these Unelma Platforms-inspired projects are stepping stones in the real world of software development. Through the development of practical, real-world applications that millions of users use daily, such as unelma.io, unelmacloud.com, snapvalid.com and unelmamail.com, the REACT24S students acquired practical experience in current web technology trends, according to CEO of Unelma Platforms, Amit G. They learned about APIs, their challenges, collaborative workflows, and working under pressure to produce workable applications is commendable.

 

The projects also qualify for Helsinki Business College's innovative vibe, which is all about "encouraging the students to think outside the box and go beyond the limits!" according to the TypeScript instructor, the Unelma Platforms ecosystem made for an excellent playing field where students could experiment and relate to real-world use cases.

 

Looking Ahead

 

While the REACT24S group is still going strong at Helsinki Business College, these are some big projects for them. What they have done instead is build working apps and learn the problem-solving mentality and the collaborative abilities that make for success in the tech world. The direction given to them by their tutor at TypeScript has provided a robust set of toolsets among them. By the look of their projects inspired by Unelma Platforms shortly, they are a testimony to what can be when they start creating impact in the world of real projects and the AI software development era.
