    100 Days of Code

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 02:10 AM PDT

    I'm planning to commit to the "100 days of code" challenge and for each day, I'm thinking of creating a web app from scratch. This will, obviously, be time-consuming but would be greatly beneficial. However, I can't come up with enough ideas to last the 100-day span. Would love to hear you suggestions and app-ideas for each day. This is what I'm looking to get out of this challenge: 1. Improve my UI/UX skills 2. Get better at ReactJS, specifically testing

    It would be awesome if you can help me find ideas for this challenge.

    UPDATE 1 - Thanks for all the great suggestions!! - After reading the suggestions, I've decided not to go with the "one project a day" method. Instead, I'll be building one big project in under 100 days.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 01:05 PM PDT

    I have done freelancing for a couple of clients over the pandemic, mainly in MERN stack. And have the hang of things I suppose. I have been looking to broaden my horizons and build an e-commerce website based on JAMstack. What is the best way to learn about the same?

    Where to begin on creating a carousel with slick animations?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:07 PM PDT

    Where to begin on creating a carousel with slick animations?

    I'm looking to implement a carousel screen similar to the below. I know how to make a simple carousel that auto pages using basic bootstrap. But not even sure where to begin in terms of making an animation like this example?

    Anyone have any experience building something like this? Any library I can use, I'm not even sure what to search for.

    How would you log a 'search as you type' query?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 10:07 AM PDT

    I'm using a simple SQL search that returns results as a user types 2 or more characters into an input.

    I want to log what people are searching for so as you would expect I am seeing lots of logs like:

    pr

    pro

    prod

    produ

    product

    etc

    Kinda crappy. Any suggestions as to how to prevent this? Maybe add the log to a queue with a delay and then keep overwriting it or something?

    Using Laravel FWIW.

    Allow users to login using social media, what data to save in database?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 11:35 AM PDT

    I know how to reach the API's that will give me the user information and access tokens, what I'm wondering is, how does the flow work? What data of that user do you save in the database, so that user can login the next time without his/her password? Is there a commonly used method for this?

    Image Slider using css keyframes and animation

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 11:31 AM PDT

    Hello! so I wanted to make a slider for my site and learned a bit about keyframes. I came across some videos showing how to make the sliders which all makes sense except none of them really explained the keyframes bit. So here is this example I was looking at which is a slider for 5 images:

    #slider { overflow: hidden; } #slider figure { position: relative; width: 500%; //change to 700% for 7 images 100*7 margin: 0; left: 0; animation: 30s slider infinite; } #slider figure img { height: 100vh; width: 14.28%; //change to 14.28% for 7 images 100/7 float: left; } @keyframes slider { // how to set up for 7 images? 0% { left: 0; } 20% { left: 0; } 25% { left: -100%; } 45% { left: -100%; } 50% { left: -200%; } 70% { left: -200%; } 75% { left: -300%; } 95% { left: -300%; } 100% { left: -400%; } } 

    What exactly is the math behind the keyframes? I want to set this up for 7 images but I guess I dont understand how exactly this is working just for the keyframe block. For example what does the 20% represent? 20% of the width or the animation time? Thanks :)

    Are YouTube Tutorials Good for learning?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 08:19 AM PDT

    Hello. I know this might seem like a strange topic but I've been doing alot of YouTube web dev tutorials and using them to build things. I just completed a tutorial to build a php login and register system and used another tutorial to build a movie launch page. I'll typically follow the entire tutorial through then go back and modify things to make then unique to me. I'm wondering if I'm learning the necessary or right things I would need to know to do a job. Are these Tutorials enough or should I be building my own projects from scratch in order to actually learn how programming and web development works to be job ready?

    Database for Book Covers

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:58 PM PDT

    I am writing a small paid for app and I want the user to be able to search by title for a book. Really the only thing I need in return is the cover of the book. So far I have looked into the following public or private databases

    1. https://isbndb.com/ - Seems the best bet for a paid system
    2. https://books.google.com/ - Somehow I have to ask Google for permission for a paid app
    3. https://www.worldcat.org/ - I honestly don't understand this place at all...
    4. https://openlibrary.org/ - I cannot understand if they want apps to access their API
    5. https://github.com/e-e-e/book-covers-api - Seems awesome but I need the ISBN, which leads me to the main problem

    Main problem really is: when searching any book from any of these sites, every book seems to have 1 to 100 versions. There's re-writes, limited editions, ebooks, audio books, the right book but somehow the wrong author, the same book 100 times etc. That means that I don't have a clue which is the "right" book and therefore which ISBN to use if necessary.

    I'm wondering if anyone has any general advice. An internal database is obviously not possible.

    Creating An API in 5 clicks

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:48 PM PDT

    ✋ Hey r/webdev!

    I'm excited to introduce a totally FREE platform for making APIs easily, with no code whatsoever.

    No more late nights coding controllers, messing with server hosting, debugging CI/CD issues, or the general hassle that comes with 99.9% of APIs. Focus on what matters, the data.

    I strongly recommend using MongoDB for your database, but we also have PostgreSQL support.

    https://www.crud.dev/

    I've been working on this website for over a year in my spare time. Let me know what you think!

    Regex makes come things really easy! Reddit markdown to HTML with regular expressions.

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:46 PM PDT

    Reddit Markdown is the syntax used to style posts and comments outside the Fancy Pants Editor. If you edit a post or comment (on the site on desktop) you will see text that says "switch to markdown" or "switch to fancy pants". Fancy pants allows "stylizing* text by clicking buttons and by keyboard shortcuts, while markdown takes plain text and converts it to stylized text.

    Text in an HTML file in itself is not stylized, but it represents style that the browser will load.

    I made a simple HTML file here that converts markdown to HTML. It is not complete yet, but it does italics, bold, bolded italic, links, superscript, and

    • l
    • i
    • s
    • t
    • s.

    You can edit the variable b and execute markdownToHTML(); in the console to see my code convert other texts.

    Possible to request access to a Google Analytics account with just the GA tag?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:45 PM PDT

    We took over a website sometime ago that had GA tracking codes added by the previous developer(s). Is it possible to somehow access or request access to the Google Analytics by just knowing the tag (UA-205589A, for example)? I'm pretty sure we reached out to the previous developers about this but never got a response.

    We added our own tracking codes a few months ago, but having access to years of historical data would be preferred.

    How to give someone edit permissions without requiring an account?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:37 PM PDT

    Imagine a public posts wall. I'd like to let visitors return to edit their post, but without forcing them to create accounts. Just emails.

    There is probably a name for this functionality, but I don't know what it's called, so I'm having trouble finding relevant tutorials. Can you guys point me in the right direction?

    (It's like how some un submitted forms let you return to them if you use a link...gravity forms plugin for example. That's the feature I'd like to develop in my first mongo express app)

    My webpage looks great, but when converting it to PDF using PDFkit it messes with the css, like cutting words inside <span>, bigger pictures, random layout..

    I've searched many answers but non were talking about this specific problem.

    Company won't forcing us to build proxy to get around CORS

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 10:04 AM PDT

    So I have to connect to a SOAP api to get data for a client and the company who handles the data won't configure their API to allow our domain access to avoid CORS errors.

    Because of this they are requiring me to build a proxy server to get around CORS.

    I just wanted to ask, is this normal? Or are they being lazy? They definatly dont have thousands of domains to give access to and that's the only reason I can think of that would stop them.

    What's your opinion?

    Edit: I fucked up the title.

    I want to build a flashcard app with audio recordings for learning languages. How would you do this and how much would you charge?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 03:59 PM PDT

    As the title says, I want to build a flashcard app for learning languages.

    Functionalities:

    • Make and display flash cards with word in foreign language on one side and english on the other
    • Add audio recordings to hear how words in foreign language sound
    • Admin accounts with permissions to add and edit cards
    • Record audio clips directly within app (ideally, if this is too hard I will just have admins upload mp3)

    I need to build

    • Front end to display flash cards
    • Database to store flash card data
    • Intuitive admin panel to add flash cards

    I'm curious how much would you charge for a project like this. And what languages would you use?

    I personally am thinking Vue for the frontend, but I have never done any backend work before so I'm at a loss. I know there are services like Quizlet out there, but I want to add audio recordings. Is it not even worth building this because I could find a pre-existing service?

    React hooks and Ember.JS

    Is it appropriate for me to call myself a senior developer?

    Posted: 22 Oct 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    Context

    I've worked in front-end since about 2013. Over the years I've done mostly websites, and then moved to working with React since 2018 on web applications. Over those years I've been responsible for doing the design, front end development and managing clients / leading projects. From about 2018-2019 we hired some junior devs and I helped them a lot, not sure if you'd call that mentoring cause nothing official was setup. They just came to me with questions, thoughts, etc. I've never had a senior mentor me, just kind of learning as I go.

    My Job

    Fast forward to the job I'm at now. Been here for about a year, in-house position. On a team of 3 - myself, a graphic designer and a marketing manager (my boss). Boss is verrry non-technical when it comes to development btw. Since day 1 I've..

    • Lead all web initiatives
    • Front-end developed and designed projects, leading the whole way - basically anything I say (within reason) goes
    • Collaborate with higher-ups and PM's from other companies to push initiatives along and work with them in general
    • Go to guy for anything web at my company
    • Think up different ways of how we can improve things on the web side

    Basically I'm a one man department within the marketing department. One thing I haven't done here is mentor juniors, as there's no other devs on our team.

    My official title is 'front-end web developer', but I feel like I am a bit more senior given my experience and what I do at my job.

    So, couple questions:

    • Since it's not really a 'promotion', since I've been doing senior things - can or should I ask my boss if my title can be changed to senior front end developer? Is there a universal process or can I just say 'hey, I do senior things - can I put senior in my job title?'
    • Am I actually a senior developer? Because sometimes I still need help and still get stuck, especially with web application work. I picture senior developers as people that never need help, and can do pretty much anything. That's not me.
