Something that interested me this week

I shipped a side project this week! It's called PocketCal and it's a simple way to find and share dates.

When you open the app (it works better on desktop, but works on mobile, too), you can click dates on the calendar to add them to a group. You can name groups of dates, add more groups, and there's some other small customizations. Then, once you're happy with it, you can share the URL to share your entire set of dates with anyone you'd like!

Here's an example of it in action!

I'm going to do a write-up about PocketCal to talk about how and why I built it in a bit more detail, but until then, I'm just happy I was able to use one of my domain names, ha!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you return pairs of odd numbers. Y'all did great Andy, Martin, Lars, David, Winnie, Miguel, Ten, Yacine, Neha, Muhammad, Elke, Tarang, Jeremias, Kracekumar, and Will!

This week's question:
Turn an array of integers into a nested array. You can think of this as the opposite of flattening an array!

Examples:

nestArray([1, 2, 3, 4])
> [1, [2, [3, [4]]]]

nestArray([1])
> [1]
