    Create something? Let's see it!

    Feedback Requestors

    Please use the following format

    URL:

    Purpose:

    Technologies Used:

    Feedback Requested: (e.g. general, usability, code review, or specific element)

    Comments:

    Post your site along with your stack and technologies used and receive feedback from the community. Please refrain from just posting a link and instead give us a bit of a background about your creation.

    Feel free to request general feedback or specify feedback in a certain area like user experience, usability, design, or code review.

    Feedback Providers

    • Please post constructive feedback. Simply saying, "That's good" or "That's bad" is useless feedback. Explain why.
    • Consider providing concrete feedback about the problem rather than the solution. Saying, "get rid of red buttons" doesn't explain the problem. Saying "your site's success message being red makes me think it's an error" provides the problem. From there, suggest solutions.
    • Be specific. Vague feedback rarely helps.
    • Again, focus on why.
    • Always be respectful

    Introducing RESTyped: End-to-end typing for REST APIs with TypeScript

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 12:49 PM PST

    Hey fellow web devs. Have you ever been frustrated about type safety across API clients and servers? Me too! I've spent the last 2 months working on this OSS project to try to make the experience a little less painful for people using TypeScript, and I think it turned out pretty awesome. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

    In the code provided below, my app-bar and header divs do not fill up the entire width of the screen (there is a small gap on the right side). Why is this?

    Native apps with Vue.js: Weex or NativeScript?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:06 AM PST

    Looking to hire someone to make a site to help my budding startup, don't know where to begin.

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 10:58 AM PST

    Hello all,

    I am totally new to the concept of webdev, or hiring anybody...for anything, so I'm looking for help here to know if my thoughts on this are grounded in reality.

    So I make these little maps by downloading data from Openstreetmap, modifying the data in ArcMap, then exporting the file to Adobe Illustrator to make some final edits to the file so it can be read by an expensive laser cutting machine that essentially "prints" the map onto a piece of wood. Many of my friends and random people online like these things a lot and I'd like to continue selling them. Problem is, it's difficult to get an idea of what location & level of detail people want for their map. So I know I need a website that basically expedites this process. I need a site that will allow a user to pan/zoom a map of the world using Openstreetmap, select a location, select some basic options like size/color/etc., and to process payments. I would receive an email (or something) showing the user's selected location and desired options.

    Fortunately there are websites that already exist that are doing exactly this, except their end-product is a simple map on a paper-- mine will be a map on wood. YourOwnMaps.com and Mapiful.com are two examples I found. Honestly I would be content with a carbon copy of YourOwnMaps.com, with a different color scheme, photos (that I can provide), and obviously options for sizes/colors, etc.

    I don't even know where to begin to look for someone that could build a website like this for me, or what is an acceptable budget and timeframe for completion.

    As for me, I have a background in GIS and know all about Openstreetmap, so I can work with the webdev and "speak the language" regarding those things, but I have no experience/skills in website making, coding, etc. I honestly don't even know what skills to look for in hiring a webdev, besides knowing Openstreetmap, and I guess Java? PHP?

    Any help on what I should realistically set aside for a budget for this is much appreciated,

    Thanks!

    Ajax Calls or Websocket for showing realtime sensor data?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 06:38 AM PST

    I'm working on a Raspberry Pi project, that is supposed to display rapidly changing sensor data from a Python backend in realtime. The data will be displayed on a web interface, which will be accessed locally and via local network. The data consists of a couple of simple float values, but they need to be realtime and the UI is supposed to be more or less fluent, so i need to transmit the data 15-30 times a second (i think 20fps is the max update rate of the sensors).

    I'm now at the point where i have to decide how i want to get the data from the backend to the frontend. My idea was that a Websocket connection is better for this than calling an Ajax API over and over again.

    Hooowever, there is a Kerbal Space Program mod called Telemachus, that does pretty much the exact same thing with simple Ajax calls and appears to have no trouble with it. Plus, i have 0 experience with Websockets so Ajax would be easier for me to work with.

    Now i don't know what i should use. What do you guys think? Is Ajax sufficient or should i definitely, absolutely, no-other-chance go with Websocket?

    I need to create a "list button", but I don't know the actual name for it :/

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 02:07 PM PST

    I am not a native English speaker so I'm having some trouble finding what I need. Maybe you guys can help a brother out.

    You know when you are using Google Translate and you can click on a button and it shows a list of languages that you can choose from? That's what I need, and I don't know what it's called. Do you guys know how to make a button like that?

    Web Dev Newbie Looking to Build Digital Catalogue

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 12:11 PM PST

    Hey r/webdev,

    I'm a final year graphic design student. We're having a degree show next year, and I have chosen to take on the task of putting together an online 'catalogue'. This will showcase the project work of approximately 100 students.

    I'm comfortable with writing HTML/CSS, but beyond that my web skills are limited. I'm taking on this project as I want to learn more web languages and feature it in my portfolio.

    As there are so many students to feature on the website, I'm guessing that I'm going to have to set up a dynamic page that pulls the student's work (images) and information (text) from a database? (Rather than having a static page for each student)

    For a project like this, which languages should I prioritise learning? My guesses are SQL, JavaScript, and PHP. Are there any others that I should be considering?

    Thanks in advance for any guidance or other considerations.

    (jobs) In a weird spot that I want to get out of

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 11:31 AM PST

    I've been working in web dev long enough that many companies would consider me a senior or "senior-worthy" on face value. But it's put my situation in a weird position. There are some languages that I am curious on using at a new job (I currently am unemployed) and find myself in a catch-22.

    This is what happens to a roughly 8 years programmer with self-taught experience.

    I can't get an entry-level job in a new tech stack, because I'm "overqualified". I can only get mid- or senior-level jobs in a tech stack that I've used before.

    I know PHP and JavaScript. At about 8 years experience, I'm overqualified for a junior Python job, but under-qualified for a mid-level Python job. That is, it's hard to break into other stacks or languages when you are looking for a new job but not currently working.

    What the hell.

    How do you get out of this endless cycle of using the same stack without getting the chance to try something else?

    Can i do this on my own?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 10:25 AM PST

    Hi All,

    I'll try to explain best I can so please bare with me. I have no web development skills what so ever, aside from really basic HTML coding. I want to build/design a social media type website (it's a little nugget of an idea that i want to take a stab at) and have a pretty good idea of how I want to do it, it's just coming down to should i try and build it myself or use a 3rd party?

    I am up for the challenge to learn to to code but i feel it's going to be a long stretch. can this be accomplished? also can i use resources such as wix or similar? or do i just try to look for a company to build this for me and i tell them what I want?

    Thank you all!

    Resources for learning Mongoose/React/Express/Node... Also self-taught vs. coding bootcamp?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 05:52 AM PST

    First thing: Anyone have good resources that cover this entire stack, even at a superficial level? I'm a front-end web developer who knows vanilla JS and jQuery, just not sure where to get started with MEAN/MREN/etc.

    Second thing: I've considered taking a part-time course at a coding bootcamp to cover these topics. I've been self-taught to this point, no CS/Eng degree, and I'm hesitant to put a bootcamp on my resume. I know some employers won't touch bootcamp grads with a 10-foot pole. Is it different if you do a part-time course mid-career though? I feel like if a company won't hire bootcamp grads, they're probably not in the market for design grads either, so maybe this doesn't apply to me.

    I can apply these skills at my current job, but I don't know where to start and I don't expect them to teach me everything.

    Chrome Coverage - Tool to check multiple pages at once?

    Posted: 15 Dec 2017 05:39 AM PST

    Hey /r/webdev, I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that would allow me to use a coverage-like tool to check the execution of CSS and JS on multiple pages.

    I'm currently trying to look at a series of pages (about 20-30 pages) and was hoping there'd be a more convenient solution than going through each page and viewport and checking the CSS.

    For reference:

    Need to punch a client, but unsure how to avoid getting fired

    Posted: 14 Dec 2017 04:23 PM PST

    Ok so I'm at a boiling point, won't go into specifics. Client is rude, demanding free things, they're in the wrong - you know the story. Oh and before the usual "look for a new job" posts roll in, I'm all up n that homie.

    We're having a team meeting with them tomorrow afternoon and i want to pull some David Blane type stuff and get a hit in while no one is looking - how do you all do it?

    I'm kind of desperate here so i guess i would also accept alternate solutions like peace, or mechanisms you may use to stay calm when they are wrong and you are still being condescended to
