    How do computers read code?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 04:33 AM PST

    Do you ever get annoyed by people who sell themselves as 'website developers' charging a lot of money when they only use Wordpress, Wix, Weebly, or SquareSpace?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 04:14 PM PST

    edit:

    I have used WP for a few clients, Shopify for some, HTML/CSS/JS/Bootstrap for others. I didn't mean to knock down WP as a whole because at it's best it is very elegant and powerful (at it's worst is another story though).

    Glad I asked! If I don't ask, how can I learn?

    edit2

    Another thing I deal with is that I know a few 'software engineers' in my personal life that belittle any client site I've made that is Wordpress or Bootstrap. "Did you make that from scratch tho? lol".

    How would you respond to people like that?

    Should I use a CMS, or should I code my own backend?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 06:01 AM PST

    I have a very simple need for a CMS - all the client needs to do is upload an image and some text weekly. Should I use a CMS like Craft for this, or can I code my backend from scratch? How hard would this be, and which would perform better in terms of speed?

    How Are Large Chat Logs Stored?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 12:03 PM PST

    I find it interesting how apps like Messenger or Telegram can store years worth of a chat log. How are these extremely long chat logs saved? What about group chats? How does it know what message goes to who? How are these kept in a database?

    Back End/Full Stack Devs, for creating professional dashboards in your web apps, do you roll your own or use an open source Bootstrap theme?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 08:10 AM PST

    Title says it all, I'm interested to know the answer to this question. I'm mostly interested in open source themes as it promotes a healthy web ecosystem. I've heard good things about SBAdmin, but would love to hear comments from other devs as I haven't actually used that yet.

    Using pure Bootstrap is also a good practice, but sometimes the client insists on a vertical navbar on the left and all which is difficult for us back-end devs to bake. The client sometimes insists on using a paid theme too, but I don't usually recommend it to them as they heavily modify bootstrap's ubiquitous API to something of their own which is non-standard and has no support guarantees in future.

    Is it dumb to build a sync mechanism through email?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 12:50 PM PST

    By this I mean, you send an email to some email address, and that receiving email address does something with the email body. I've got this setup with Mailgun and PHP by a POST request endpoint.

    The concern is the validation aspect. I've got a setup where the email body has this type of pattern:

    sync-key[abcdefg...]

    Sync content

    Possibly a secondary key as well. There is a list of approved email addresses to receive from.

    The point of this application is to interface with a site by copy/pasting content from any "processor?" like Microsoft Word or Notepad. You use email as a generally-accessible mechanism to send data into the site.

    There will probably be a front-end interface as well on the site. And use some form of auth.

    The concern is accidentally dumping that key, though I've written extensive checks that prevents the content from being processed/published if the keys/email are incorrect. I'm trying to adopt a "oh well it's a public key" sort of mentality anyway. I don't understand how those PGP keys work (those square blocks of text) where you share a public one that's readable by anyone.

    The content being synced generally is intended to be public.

    I'm not sure what to do if a from-email-adress is spoofed, not sure if that's possible. That's the part where the sync key comes in. I mean mailgun has an approved email list. Not sure what they do.

    I turned a PSD into HTML again; what do you think?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 04:03 PM PST

    I've had no projects on for a while and fancied coding a PSD into HTML.

    The design is by Ugur Balkaya and can be found here: http://welovefreepsd.com/downloads/start-up-website-design/

    I've changed a couple of things such as the icons, as I was able to achieve nice transitioning-hover effects and also able to resize them without distorting the images.

    Anyway, you can view the finished product here: http://markwrites.codes/work/designs/StartUp

    It is coded in vanilla HTML/CSS and uses a small dollop of jQuery for the hamburger-menu icon on handheld devices.

    Any feedback and constructive criticism will be taken onboard.

    PS: I'm aware about the SEND button in the Newsletter section of the footer being slightly larger than expected on Android devices, I'm not sure why, but I've also not had time to look into it

    How would one implement a "transaction log" of events performed in an app, that can be "replayed"?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 03:41 PM PST

    This is a bit of a strange use case that's difficult to describe.

    Let's say I have an app (client-side only) that asks a user three questions.

    • The first question is randomly selected by the application from a pool of possible questions.
    • Depending on the answer the user gives, the second question is chosen randomly from a second pool of questions.
    • The third question is chosen from the first or second pool, depending on the user's answers to the first two questions.

    The user has the option to save their progress as any point.

    I want to create a "log file" of sorts that I can input into a textbox in the application, and return to the exact application state the user was in when they saved, which also contains the history of which questions were chosen and what answers the user gave to get to that point.

    For those of you who are familiar with chess, it would be kind of similar to PGN, which describes the moves made during the game, along with the FEN of the current position on the board.

    I'm using Vue/Vuex as my front-end framework, but I'd be interested if there was some framework-agnostic way of doing this. Where would I get started?

    React or Vue? What i need to choose if i want to find a job?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 03:27 PM PST

    Hi, folks!

    I guess my question is primary for DEVs who already in industry. So... i read many articles, search on job sites and etc. Main reason why i asking it is amount of jobs available for Vue/React on market. For Vue developers amount is significantly small. Is it means that it's more simplier to find job with Vue-knowledge because for React DEVs competition is high nowadays because every employer wants to be in web trends?

    P. S. : Vue is so simple to be learned compare to React. Why everybody still using React with it complexity? Because Facebook fashion rules?

    Do you ever get annoyed when people who don't use a particular system you use, automatically assume they're better than you?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 07:46 AM PST

    I work at an agency that uses WordPress for most of their sites, and I hate the notion that WordPress developers aren't "real" developers.

    I use Webpack, babel, Sass, npm, git and all the other three letter services you guys use. Am I a web developer yet?

    I make all of my WordPress sites from scratch. Delete the default themes entirely and start my own. I spend a lot of time thinking about/doing:

    • Looking at designs, planning how best to structure the HTML
    • Talking to clients, asking them how they want their backend to work.
    • How much are they wanting to edit? What is static and what is not?
    • Which things might need a custom settings page so they themselves can change things?
    • How much budget do they have? Eventually having to compromise on some specific feature due to budget.

    WordPress is a great CMS. It might not be fantastically amazing for developers but at the end of the day, when you hand it over to the client and no-one has to manage it for weeks / months because it's robust and WORKS, it literally doesn't matter.

    It looks good, it works, it IMHO has a great API for creating page templates, post types, image sizes, custom widgets and so on.

    Why am I being discriminated for using a GOOD solution?

    Which domain is wiser to be "SEO-ed"?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 03:12 PM PST

    Hi all!

    I have 4 domains for my soon-to-be-released branding page.

    • brandname.localTLD
    • brandname.com
    • brandname.co
    • bandname sliced into two: firsthalf.secondhalf (for example if brandname is foobar than 'foo.bar')

    Which one should I build as the "main domain" if I want to go globally?

    I thinking about option 4.

    Would anyone mind looking at my server code?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 01:12 PM PST

    Here's the code. Here's a picture of the file layout.

    I'm mostly interested in the errors I have probably made in /server/scripts/server.js. I guess my two primary concerns are:

    1. Only the public directory should ever be served.
    2. I'm not entirely sure about which headers to set. Do I Need to set Last-Modified and Cache-Control when serving a file for the first time? When I get any request with the If-Modified-Since header can I simply return 304 and be done with it? Are there any other headers I'm not handling right?

    But any additional corrections you have would be great. The UI is just there for something to look at. I haven't got past focusing on the server code yet.

    *I would prefer to roll my own server instead of using express. I know about express.

    Best JS framework/library for a web-app in 2017?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 12:34 PM PST

    For the front-end of a web-app. Which would be a kind-of small IDE. Example of something similar: https://onlinedisassembler.com/odaweb/

    (basiically the old app is made using Windows Forms and some ugly user controls, and they want me to port it to a web version)

    Frontendious, CLI for bootstraping web[sites/applications]

    Posted: 26 Nov 2017 04:54 AM PST

    Hello everyone!

    Just wanted to share what I've been working on lately and get some feedback. So, long story short, I've always wanted to make boilerplate to fit my needs (starting side project, creating website...). Every boilerplate I've tried so far had extra stuff I didn't need or it was 'library-focused' like create-react-app or vue-cli.

    I came up with this:

    • webpack, webpack-dev-server
    • babel (env presset, object-rest-spread plugin)
    • scss support, postcss autoprefix, normalize.css included
    • image support (png|jpg|gif|svg), image minification
    • prettier configured
    • connected with express(node.js), configured proxy for client side [optional]
    • react support [optional]

    As I don't need express or react on every project I make, I've decided that it would be great to make cli that will take this options as argument, so simply pass -s if you want express server, or -r if you want react support and frontendious will generate boilerplate for you.

    Here is frontendious-cli npm repo, if you want to give it a try, or get some extra info, hopefully someone will find it usefull too.

    I plan to add extra options to cli in future, like css/html preprocessor picker and support for testing, if you have some suggestions please write them here, thanks in advance :)
