| Posted: 30 Jan 2018 12:13 PM PST Listen - I know it's all in the best interest of the subreddit - it's just that I've been coming here everyday for what seems to be forever and since the change I've sorta subconsciously thought twice about visiting because of the new rules/setup. I think removing a post because it's not flaired is too extreme. I think the sticked automod comment on each post has been annoying and patronizing. I think flairs are a good idea, but not at the expense of deleting a post. Not even close. I don't like that people can't share there own content - we're web developers for pete's sake! That's what we do - create things! The rest of the world is already hard enough to share with - at least let me show my dev peeps my work in my own thread. I think without the theme the subreddit seems so... blah - not attractive at all - it's what I expect the front page of reddit to look like - not r/webdev. I know reddit has a re-design or whatever coming - keep the theme till we figure out something nice for the sub when that change happens. I don't like that now beginner questions are forced in a single thread. It was cool seeing portfolios and the feedback left on them. I don't like that there is a blanket rule: "Do not post memes, screenshots of bad design, or jokes." Why not? - sometimes I like to laugh - why so strict? Like what's the reason? God forbid someone makes a joke - usually it's a joke we developers can all relate with - like a bad client or something. Bottom line - let the upvotes and downvotes speak for themselves. And I know people say, "Oh if you let the downvotes and upvotes do everything then you'll end up in spam city" - I find that to be a made up argument with no facts to back it up. You guys have been doing a good job moderating - I didn't feel I saw too much junk - and honestly I wouldn't mind seeing more junk if that meant we weren't being censored or posts were being removed for the wrong reasons.

| Hosting a SPA (Server/Client)? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:05 PM PST How does everyone host their Single Page Application? I have two separate projects currently the client and the server. I see two options:
Both of these seem troublesome for setting up a build server. The first requires pulling files from two different repos, or checking in the fully build client into the servers repo. The second would probably require two different build processes. How is everyone else handling this? What is the current convention? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Help! My website has a wrapper frameset that displays my server IP address Posted: 29 Jan 2018 08:45 PM PST I don't know what to do. So basically I just set up hosting service with Google Cloud Services through domain and the website is up and running. The problem is when I open the source code of my website, there appears to be a <frame> wrapper around my entire code. This is what the source code of my website basically looks like now: document[MY HTML CODE HERE] How do I fix this? It seems that my website is a forwarded version of its original. Thanks a lot in advance! Edit: Added flair [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do I prepare for a technical interview if I struggle with basic syntax(JS mainly). Posted: 30 Jan 2018 01:28 PM PST I've created a few SPA's in angular, a bunch of websites but I GOOGLE everything. I just know where to google the solutions or I just look at the documentation and edit the code so that it works for my website/spa. But if you ask me to code a basic function in JS without google I struggle. I got a technical interview in the coming weeks and I can't see myself winging it without flopping. My dilemma is, if I create a function once or twice on a project a few months ago, I won't remember how to write it. If I do use it a lot, I just copy paste it. I'll know where to look for it, but I won't be able to write it on the spot.. [link] [comments]  | ||

| [meta] portfolio feedback request threads Posted: 29 Jan 2018 03:53 PM PST I feel like this has already been decided and not really open to discussion, but I thought I might bring it up anyway. I personally do not like the new rule about only sharing projects in the weekly sticky thread, more specifically peoples' personal portfolios. Maybe I'm in the minority but I really liked these threads, and sometimes you would get 20-30, even 50+ comments in a single thread. I liked looking at other peoples portfolios, good or bad, and there was almost always some good advice in the replies. Now with the sticky thread, I feel like the participation is much lower and most people do not get any replies or feedback. For example, currently 23 project have been posted, but only 7 have been replied to, about 30%. And of those, it's generally only 1 or 2 comments. I feel like most people don't check this regularly, maybe only on the first day or two, and if it's towards the end of the week, almost for sure no one will look at your project or give you feedback. To play devil's advocate to my own suggestion, I feel the intent of the rule was to prevent this subreddit from being 'flooded' with review requests. However I think reddit's downvote/upvote algorithm naturally surfaces good content, and I don't even remember thinking in the past that there were too many of those kinds of posts. Anyway, hope I'm not stepping on the mods' feet here, but I wonder if it's worth a discussion with the r/webdev community? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to add backdoor to client websites? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 03:14 PM PST I've started creating websites for people, mainly using react/django and was wondering how I could protect myself if the client didn't pay and locked me out. Does anyone have any creative solutions for adding a secret command or backdoor that if executed would shut a website down? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Noob here, what exactly is the difference between static and dynamic websites? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:59 PM PST I've started to learn HTML and CSS about a week ago and JS yesterday. So far I've put in about 20 hours. What I'm wondering is what the difference between a static and dynamic website is. If I understeand correctly, static websites can't take user input and dynamic websites can. I started learning web development out of interest and to create a nice looking website for my local business. Also, just one more question out of curiosity. If I keep learning HTML, CSS and JS (and some frameworks like React, NodeJS, AngularJS) for the coming years (I'm 17 now), would it be possible for me to land a job somewhere as a front-end web developer?

| Getting Vagrant/VVV to work in WSL Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:55 PM PST I recently got switched to a normal Enterprise build of Win10 1703 (creator's update) and set up WSL. I have been using Git Bash in CMDer up until now to run my Vagrant VVV box without much issue. I was able to get WSL configured with ZSH and created symlinks for vagrant and virtual box. When I try to run vagrant up, my VVV box fails to load. Vagrant itself seems ok. I can still run it in Git Bash. I did notice an extra vm in VBox. I had also tried to install vagrant in WSL previously but got a version mismatch error. I removed vagrant and then went with calling the windows exe from WSL which seemed to be less problems. It would be nice to be able to run VVV in WSL to be able to take advantage of oh-my-zsh. Am I missing anything or should I just stick with Git Bash? I used the guide here. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Managing Client Expectations [Marketing vs Design] Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:43 PM PST I am not sure if anyone else has run into this issue, but I recently started doing websites for various businesses, and I seem to be doing a poor job managing their expectations of what will happen after they launch their website. From my perspective, I am only being paid to make a website, make it SEO friendly, and to make sure it works, but for some reason the clients seem to think that I am responsible for getting traffic to their site after they pay me when it's ready. My quote reflects the website design, theme/plugin costs, etc, I never mention anything regarding marketing or post-completion traffic expectations. I did a small landscaping website for a guy I used to work with who was laid off, I only charged him $250 since I knocked it out in an afternoon. 3 months later he calls me asking why no one is visiting his website and why no one has called, and by his tone I feel like he thinks I am to blame. Another client is launching a physical product, we are nearly ready to launch, and they made a comment about possibly "selling out" the day they launch, even though they have done literally no pre-launch marketing. They also asked when I would have their social media profiles ready to go over, something I never quoted or was never requested. How do I easily explain that I am make websites, I don't do website marketing and traffic? What am I doing wrong? My main thought is I am assuming the client knows this info, or should know it. I feel like a website is a business card, it's a way to get info about your business, but if you don't pass out the card, no one will ever call right? But why would you blame the guy who printed the cards? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:43 AM PST I've been going over this in my head for a while and was wondering if anyone had some insight. We're looking to move to a new CMS and are trying to weigh the benefits of each. The biggest factors my team is looking for is:
So far i'm looking at: Wordpress - Probably using JointsWP Sass theme to build out what I need. I'd also get ACF to build out custom needs. I think we would do self-hosted in cloudflare or AWS Acquia and Drupal - This was pitched to me, and I don't know a whole lot about it. It seems fairly developer friendly and PHP would be easy to hire for in time. I also saw it's possible to use nodejs with this and use React/Angular/similar? Has anyone had any experience with this? CraftCMS - This is an outlier since they don't have an API that I can tell, and hiring would be more difficult. HubSpot - This seems like an "all in one" solution, though it's not open source. Does anyone recommend this? If anyone has a great setup they like and can match these needs i'd love to hear about that as well. Personalization is the biggest driver here - we're currently pretty limited in what we can do and we would love to tailor pages to the individual. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Any one use Parse Javascript SDK with an Angular 5 app? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:40 PM PST I keep getting 403 errors in my app. I'm not sure where i'm supposed to put Am I supposed to put it in my app component on in ngOnInit or in my service? If I put it in my service, WHERE do I put it? Its getting really frustrating. I'm just trying to pull data from our server! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How does this site load new pages? Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:42 AM PST This site is really nice, and when you navigate between pages, the content seemingly loads dynamically. It doesn't seem to use a framework, so how is this accomplished? Using some history pushstate trick? Where is the new content loaded from? I'm assuming the whole page isn't loaded, since that would be a waste to load the sidebar twice, for example. [link] [comments]  | ||
