    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

    what do you expect when joining a new volunteer project? i have a lot of devs who like the homelessness map we're building as volunteers and want to join in. 95% of them join up post a few messages over a month or so, then leave before ever beginning coding. can anyone give me some advice?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 02:11 PM PST

    i'm someone with a vision for a project i believe can change the experience of homelessness world-wide. i have no formal experience as a project lead, and only basic dev skills.

    i can't help but think there is something people are expecting that isn't there, although no-one who joined has been able to pinpoint it

    [Help] Hey everybody! I was wondering how to vertically align my nav menu link text. Any help would be great!

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 12:41 PM PST

    I'm trying to get the text in my <a> tags to be vertically aligned within the height of the header bar instead of being at the top. I've been trying to do this without any sort of fixed height or line height. I know it's possible, I just don't know how to get there.

    Code on Codepen

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    EDIT: Thanks for all the help, everybody! I was able to find a solution to my problem! You guys are awesome. Definitely gonna study flexbox a little bit more.

    How do you deal with burnout?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 12:37 PM PST

    I recently finished up a huge push with one of my projects to get a major revision out the door and now I feel like I should take a break from development and do something else - what do you do when you find yourself hitting a brick wall of development?

    Help learning Javascript. Best course?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 03:31 PM PST

    As the title says, I am hoping you folks can point me in the right direction.

    I have tried a few times to learn JS. And have failed. I find some "courses" to just be monotone videos of someone taking. Or just text heavy and boring.

    I was hoping someone could recommend a course that feels a little interactive and hopefully a little fun?

    Length doesn't matter i have the time to put into it. And cost while less would be better I am open to everything.

    Thanks!

    reset a form field after passing it to php.

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 02:59 PM PST

    Hi,

    So I am learning PHP and trying to make a complete login/sign up form that saves data to a file.

    Now, when Signing up you enter the password and then re-enter it to verify when its not the same an alert will pop up saying its not the same. The issue is that after you close the alert it will continue to a blank page of the PHP file dedicated to the signup, I want it to give the user another chance at re-entering his password.

    this is my PHP code so far :

    <?php $file="users.txt"; $fp=fopen($file,"a+"); $username = $_POST["username"]; $password = $_POST["password"]; $password1 = $_POST["password2"]; if ($password != $password1) { echo '<script type="text/javascript"> alert("Passwords don\'t match"); </script>'; } ?>

    username, password, and password2 are retrieved from text fields in a form in my index.php.

    The idea I have now is to reload the page using header("Refresh:0; url=index.php") but it would be better if I can keep the username he entered there.

    If there is a better way to do it (not use the alert at all) please let me know.

    Use different email domain or subdomain to send transactional email instead of root domain?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 02:42 PM PST

    Hi everyone, designing an app that will send lots of transactional email. I read here that I should have a separate email domain for transactional email from my primary marketing mail domain. I'm wondering how to do this in practice.

    ie. if my domain is www.example.com My main marketing emails are: support@example.com and joe@example.com

    -So then for my transactional email, should I do app@service.example.com or something else like app@examplemail.com? Which is better to preserve a good email reputation, a subdomain or a separate domain?

    -Do I need to set up a separate MX record for the subdomain option? Any tutorial on how to do this or explain this more? I am using Cloudflare, Namecheap, Mailgun for transactional email, and Google Apps for my main email.

    How to Create Beautiful SVG Animations Easily

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 09:33 PM PST

    Ways to create animated SVGs

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 01:41 PM PST

    I'm getting more and more impressed by the webdev community of what they're able to achieve these days.

    Looking at a site like this: https://ark.io/ I'm just wondering what ways are there to create the animated SVG's that move between boxes. I mean do people really code this on their own or is there some sort of tooling to make life easier, but without bloat?

    Front End Developer. Feel Like I am Underpaid and Could Use Some Help/Guidance

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 06:36 AM PST

    So I have been working for my company for about a year and a few months now. I started at 15/hr (changed to 15.75 after a little while) and since I had only done freelance/college degree in Web Dev and Design before I was happy to take the experience and thought I'd be getting a bigger pay raise after a year. We lost some business (nothing major) and according to my supervisor everyone has been put under a 90 day review. This is around when my one year review was.

     

    I do a good job and (having recently transitioned to remote because I moved) make sure to always work my full 8 hours. What should I do? Because of the 90 day bit I can't just ask for more and because of my move there is not a lot of opportunities in my area.

     

    I would really appreciate your help in what my next steps should be or if freelance or really anything would be a better option. I love web development and continue to constantly learn as I go. I want to pursue this as a career and just feel a little disheartened at this time.

     

    Thank you for reading through this everyone!

    Anxious about creating sites and apps “for real”

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 07:42 PM PST

    Last year, I decided I wanted to learn web dev. It seemed like free code camp was often suggested as one of the best free "boot camps"/tutorials out there, so I got started. I knew essentially nothing.

    Since then I've learned a ton of shit (from fcc as well as other internet sources) and I've done almost all of their projects. I just recently started the first of the "full stack" projects, which seem to be the final stretch after the whole front end and back end curriculums. My hope is that after completing the next couple hundred hours' worth of these projects, I'll be able to start freelancing and getting real experience.

    Unfortunately I've realized that I actually have no idea how to deploy a website in real life. After this much FCC, I've got a good foundation of html, css, js, node, express, and (kind of) mongodb. I'm capable of building basic full stack web applications. But only in the imaginary land of glitch.com. I have absolutely no idea how I'd take any one of my glitch apps and deploy it as a real, standalone website. If someone walked up to me and said they wanted a web app that would for example ask users questions and recommend something, I'd know exactly how to code it for them (conceptually) ... on glitch.com. I'd have absolutely no idea how to give them their own hosted domain/server that would have that app, or add it to their existing site, or anything like that.

    So I guess my questions boil down to:

    • How different is it coding "sites" on glitch versus a real website?

    • Whats the best way to learn how to do that? Is there a good tutorial? Should I just pay a hosting site for a month and deploy a site of my own to learn?

    Quick Udemy course question

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 11:20 AM PST

    This course

    https://www.udemy.com/the-web-developer-bootcamp/

    by Colt Steele has been recommended by a lot of people. However, this course

    https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-web-developer-in-2018/

    has a high rating and seems very much up to date.

    I have zero experience and would prefer to focus on a single course for now but would like a little assistance regarding the best course of action.

    Dear Reddit, is this the right way to organize a multi domain Web-app?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 05:17 AM PST

    I'm having some trouble finding a good solution for the problem I'm having right now. I'm making a Web-app that can be used by multiple companies but runs on one single server. The problem I'm having right now is that I need to use multiple databases and every company of course has their own database login (and some other settings). I want to create something like this.

    When the user connects to the website with an url like:

    myapp.company.com

    It refers to my domain. It take things like database settings and such from the file:

    /root/config/company.php In the folder are all files like: company1.php company2.php company3.php etc.

    The point of this all is that when i update the app i don't have to update it 50 times on different sub domains.

    Any suggestions or do you guys like it this way? pleasedon'thatemebecauseI'madirtyPHPdev

    What's the best way to implement payment icons.

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 11:01 AM PST

    Guys hi,

    At the title says i am wondering what's the best way to implement payment icons.

    We need something like this, right now we use .png for them. And it looks blurry on high resolution screens.

    I wonder if we should switch to .svg. I've found this svg pack on github which looks pretty good.

    UPDATE: Was digging around to see how others are doing that. I've found some load 2 versions of images - .png and .svg.

    Here is the screenshot: https://puu.sh/yZZRr/af0849bda2.png

    And i've unchecked .svg and checked .png to see how it looks, and it's 'broken' image https://puu.sh/yZZSj/5f79c4960b.png

    So on top of my initial question i wonder what's the point in loading both .svg and .png?

    What US states, and foreign countries, have the most job opportunities for junior developers?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 10:49 AM PST

    I know if you're above a junior, you can find an opportunity anywhere. But I'm still trying to get that junior position, so I have less to work with.

    I'm in the NYC/NJ area, so there are definitely opportunities here, though it's also very competitive. I'm not ruling my area out, but I'm definitely willing to relocate. And ideally a place I can afford on, I know Silicon Valley is always hiring, but I also know the rents are exorbitant.

    That means I'm also open to foreign countries if it comes to that, and a country that will help an American relocate there and get a Visa and all that.

    Perhaps I'm asking a lot, but if I'm willing to uproot myself for an opportunity at least it shows I'm hungry.

    How to Make a Thicker/Darker Horizontal Line in CSS

    Posted: 12 Jan 2018 09:58 AM PST

    I'm embarrassed that I can't figure this out, but--after an hour with no results--I'm looking for a second opinion.

    I'm using <hr> to content on my site, but I'd like the horizontal lines to be a bit thicker and darker.

    The only hr parameters I can find in my CSS file are these:

    hr { -moz-box-sizing: content-box; box-sizing: content-box; height: 0; }

    and

    hr { margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #eeeeee; }

    I've tried adding height and color parameters to both those, but neither produced any changes.

    If anyone could suggest a change, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks!
