    Should I use flexbox and grid for everything CSS positioning?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:03 AM PDT

    So im a beginner (3weeks in), and use grid and flex to fix my positioning problems, but should I be using solutions without implementing these things. There are two reasons why I think I should: it helps with browser support (IE) and it lets me learn other ways to get to solutions and the ways people did it before these two things. It seems time consuming, so might not be worth it

    Website similar to Laracasts for other technologies?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 05:00 AM PDT

    I have been a big fan of Laracasts! There's something in the site that just portrays quality! Even the microphone the host is using is phenominal!

    I was wondering if there are any similar sites to it but for Django, or maybe some other language / framework, the most important thing is it should be similar to laracasts quality wise.

    Anybody have pride in your work?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:25 AM PDT

    Is anybody working for a company that they are really proud of? Like what they do positively impacts the world?

    To oversimplify my job a bit, I work for a white-label site for fleet management in the oil industry. The company has been really good to me for a while and I've been really thankful. However, it's starting to feel like the right time to get out.

    I've been looking into jobs and there are plenty of gigs that seem karmic-neutral for great money but I haven't seen much for jobs that I would be really proud of.

    It's starting to feel like it's one of those pick two: good-tech, good-pay, positive-work.

    What's the current golden standard for communication between front- and backend?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 02:16 AM PDT

    There's currently a hot debate going on where I work, concerning the way the communication between front- and backend (React SPA / Laravel) is to be implemented.

    There are 2 camps:

    • Those who wish to use JSONAPI - the standard

    • Those who want to use an API that maps URLs to functions in controllers

    Chances are, we're both wrong. What's the current standard so that we don't regret our decisions in a few months or years?

    Looking for a Backend Framework to learn

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:38 AM PDT

    Hi so im currently doing an Internship where I'm developing full Stack with nextjs and node.

    I wanna learn a little bit more on the weekends and do some fun Projects. I really like nextjs so for the Frontend i'll be using that. But backend wise i wanna learn something other than node, preferably a Framework that is popular. I'd prefer a functional language, since I really enjoy Typescript. The Projects i'll be doing will be rather small and Just for fun, so probably every Framework should work, its more about learning the Framework.

    I thought about a Go Framework since it seems popular. I also saw Phoenix which looked good. But I haven't used Go or Elixir yet, so I cant really tell If i Like them.

    I dont really know whats popular on the Backend Side so Just let me know whats Frameworks and languages you Like and recommend!

    Thanks

    Side project that I need help with

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:41 PM PDT

    Hello, I've been sent a pdf file containing what the website I need to create should look like as well as a Photoshop version. The only problem is I am a complete beginner to web development so I was hoping y'all could point me in the right direction towards any sort of informational videos or sites that could help me along the way. I can provide the PDF file if that helps at all.

    Help with a simple database

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:28 PM PDT

    Hey! So I've been doing some research for a couple of days now on how to create a simple database on a website, but all of it is so out of my realm of expertise. I'm also looking to host this website from one of these computers. I've got http, css, and JavaScript experience. I'm familiar with SQL syntax but nothing further than that.

    I'm looking to have a text input inserted into a simple database. Only two computers would be accessing this website, and there wouldn't be a whole lot of traffic. I generally know how databases work, and I'd be able to manage my way around if I was just able to get the base roots down. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    CMS that allows audio recording directly from browser?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 02:56 PM PDT

    Is there a CMS that exists where my content-editors can record their voice directly into the CMS?

    I'm looking at things like Recorder.js, but how could I use this to update entries on my server? I'm a total noob but I have a client who wants this functionality.

    Essentially I am building a flash card app to learn languages: each card will have:

    • foreign language word (plain text)
    • english translation (plain text)
    • image of object (image)
    • audio recording of word (audio) (recorded directly from admin panel of the CMS and uploaded to my database)

    There only needs to be one admin account to upload content, although if I can make multiple accounts this would be good.

    If you have a great solution, we could talk about payment for your time to help me set it up! I cannot secure this client without providing a solution for this, so if you can make that happen I'd pay you generously.

    Is there some sort of resource or community where you can write pseudo code to solve programming problems without actually writing the real code?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 02:39 PM PDT

    Okay this idea sounds kinda far fetched and outside the real of possibility but I wanted to talk about a learning struggle i have. Since i am learning JavaScript now I want to practice more programming/logical problems by writing algorithm in pseudo code to approach the problem, but as a somewhat beginner it's hard for me to practice my solutions without spending HOURS getting the syntax right or making sure something is actually possible, or wondering which piece of code goes where, all that jazz. This causes me to spend forever on problem making sure my proposed solution is even correct just by getting the syntax/technical stuff part of it accurate as possible.

    I think it would speed up my learning and ease my frustration if i could arrive to a solution using only my logic skills without worrying about all the technical aspects. I feel like there has to be a community of some sort that would specialize in this as asking stack over flow people probably wouldn't work out.

    The idea would be for people to discuss the pseudo code/steps to approach the problem instead of looking at the actual code, cause lord knows there could be so many different factors as to why something isn't working the way it should. And most of the time I can come up with a solution but its hard to get the gears running when testing it out because of all the hiccups/miniscule mistakes that come with writing code.

    Now I'm not trying to get out of learning how to actually write JavaScript, it's just I don't want to worry about it when solving problems. Its only after I come to the conclusion that it would actually solve the problem is when I would start writing it, not during.

    Also for coding interviews do they expect you to write code off the top of your head, or can you come up with a pseduo code solution? I feel like that would be so much less pressure and anxiety inducing but I don't know how the industry works.

    CSS is slower than Javascript with canvas?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 02:00 PM PDT

    It probably depends on what you are doing,

    but when it comes to moving the word animated left and right across the screen, Javascript and HTML canvas is faster.

    So, I made 1600 divs that say "Animated" and gave them a simple CSS animation moving them across the screen (left and right), and I got lag. But when I used HTML canvas with Javascript objects to do the same task, I was able to get 40 fps!

    Do you think JS is more efficient than CSS in this sense? I like the way the CSS is written, but (in this case) the JS has less lag.

    Perhaps I shhould try some more complex CSS. I will try that and come back with another post!

    how can I hack into my own website?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:50 PM PDT

    I'm working for a small business that has their website printed on everything from business cards to rugs. The IT person who created the website is long gone. The company who designed the website is out of business. This is all way over my head. What in the world can we do? Any advice is much appreciated

    ADA compliance and accessibility

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 03:35 AM PDT

    Hello everyone. I work in a company that creates websites for real estate companies and other companies of reasonable size. Lately, the discussion of meeting ADA compliance standards has appeared from a couple of these companies. I'm just starting to get familiar with this but I understand it's not very hard to basically make sure everything has alternative text, provide skip to content links, ensure tab navigation and screen reading capabilities, video transcripts, etc.

    However, someone suggested to just "bother" with this with large projects because websites with a lower visitor count probably won't ever get a visitor needing those...

    I think we should simply adopt those standards from the get-go during the design phase with correct contrast ratios, etc but what is the community thoughts on this? What do you guys do?

    Thanks for any help!

    Looking for a design doc that was posted here -- anyone remember this?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:11 PM PDT

    Hey -- long time follower of the subreddit and love the little nuggets that come through here. It was maybe within the last 2-5 months on here that there was something shared from Google's process. I really liked how it illustrated the relationship between design, how they drafted up requirements, and passed it over to the development cycle.

    I've been trying to find it and have been unsuccessful. I remember it had basically two "cycles" -- one for design iterations, one for implementation iterations. It had one line passing from design over to implementation, but accounted for rapid iteration. I wanted to give it another look and maybe draw inspiration from it for the company I work for. Does anyone remember this or have it handy?

    What are the problems with running your own auth with bcrypt?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:45 PM PDT

    I've always struggled to get the pre-baked auth libraries to work correctly. And some of them don't seem to support email and password, so in frustration, I started rigging up my own process. I'm just curious what, if anything, I'm doing wrong so I can know if I should abandon and go back to figuring out how to use somebody else's solution, or just change something about my process.

    So how I have it now:

    To sign up, you put in your email and a password. Password is sent to the express server in a post request, encrypted with bcrypt, then stored in the database along with the email address.

    To log in, you type in your email address and password, post request is made to the server...use bcrypt's "compare" function, if it passes, the user ID is put in local storage, and that's checked in various places in the app. API requests check for req.signedCookies.username and allow access based on the results.

    Before anyone freaks out, this is just for learning, so if this is totally wrong, no harm will come. Just curious of any other things to keep in mind, aspects I'm missing, etc.

    Thanks

    Could any problems arise from using Cyrillic in URLs?

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 12:36 PM PDT

    I'm making a website that is in Bulgarian and has content written in Bulgarian and I have created the following endpoint:

    www.example.com/categories

    I was wondering if replacing the word 'categories' with the Bulgarian equivalent 'категории' can have some sort of negative impact which I'm not seeing right now?

    Need help to create a system for a friend who sells handicrafts

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:12 AM PDT

    Backstory:

    My friend makes handicrafts. He owns a discord server where he announces the raffle datetime for his work. When the raffle starts, he would open access to everyone to his google form and after one hour, he would close it and collect the response and export it as a xlsx file.

    He owns a ban list excel which stores blacklisted emails/contactno. Usually, he would filter the respondents through the ban list, then he would use an online randomiser to randomly select 10 winners from the remaining respondent, and check whether those 10 winners are members in his discord server with the "verified" role by comparing their discord names(they have to fill in their discord name in the google form)

    If the winner is not verified, he would have to randomly pick a replacement and repeat the checking process.

    My thoughts:

    • create a web page where he can upload his blacklist excel sheet and extract data into table in database
    • extract all member data with specified role in his server from discord( through api?) and insert into table through batch interval(since new members will be joining/ leaving)
    • have another table which stores raffle events and another table which stores respondents of raffle events
    • a page to create new raffle event and upload respondent xlsx extract from google form
    • allow blacklist to be inserted/edit/deleted inside the web app instead of editing in excel and reuploading
    • a page to access winner list of each event

    What would be the best approach to accommodate for this scenario, I sincerely appreciate everyone's help and opinion and thank you in advance.
