    Is Bolt a good choice for a novice to intermediate developer? End result needs to be beginner friendly.

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 01:56 PM PST

    Is bolt.cm an okay choice for a novice web developer wanting to create sites that are user-friendly for clients to use? I discovered it via a reddit thread suggesting it as a good and modern choice as a successor for Wordpress. I am not the best web developer, my CSS/JS is very rusty, but I have a fairly strong grasp of HTML.

    My personal choice is using something like notepad++ for creating websites manually by hand. I like the granularity and control of being able to add text/pics/iframes all by hand, and I haven't really spent much time learning advanced things like Dreamweaver although I have checked it out briefly.

    Anyways I have a client that really wanted to switch his Joomla site over to Wordpress because of some compatibility issue and wanting to use a WP ecommerce plugin. After digging in, we both found WP to be quite a nightmare in terms of the mediocre themes and difficulty of even doing basic things like editing the "About" section. I was also concerned it would be difficult for me to customize later on, and with its age and recent security issues I suggested we just drop that plan altogether and get something is allowed to exist more for its merits and less due to familiarity and pervasiveness.

    So... enter bolt.cm which seems to be a primarily Linux program that was ported to Linux. Now I have to go and get a php.exe or something, even just installing it is more advanced that most Windows software. The reason I decided to give it a shot is because of the promise that it would be easy for clients to add content themselves later on and won't require me to come back and edit the site.

    This looks like it will be a lot more work for me just to try and create something he can easily edit later on, and I will need to learn more things. I don't mind this, I look at it as an investment in myself. The question is,

    am I even headed in the right direction here?

    edit: I forgot a step here, I don't have any experience with Composer. Apparently it is what bolt uses and is related to PHP. I have a very rudimentary experience with PHP, which basically just involved editing some of it which I learned how to do from an online tutorial.

    How do you get better at scaling websites/scalability?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 03:36 AM PST

    I've mostly been working on back-end development for a consultancy/web development shop. All of my projects so far were started from scratch/I came in at the middle but there weren't many users yet (just in the hundreds). So I never got a "made an app with xxx,xxx requests per second". I do check my code re benchmarking tools and try to profile the endpoints when the client feels like a part of their site is slow.

    How did you guys get better at scaling/writing scalable code?

    How do you become better developer

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 08:42 AM PST

    Hi /r/webdev,

    this might be stupid question but I would like to know how to 'become' a better developer.

    So I'm 26 y/o guy with Computer science background and Im working as developer professionally for 4 years (plus last 2 years of college in free time but nothing super serious).

    I'm mostly backend guy but from to time to time i deal with frontend tasks with not a big trouble. My strongest languages are PHP (please leave childish comments about how php sucks on a side) and JS (node) and i have fairly okay knowledge about databases and their usages.

    In order to become more competitive on market and become better developer for myself ofc, what would you recommend, what should i focus on mostly? Let's say you are about to hire a backend guy with 4 years of experience, what are your expectations of this guy, what should he know and on which level should these skills be?

    Sorry if question is too generic, i tried to be precise as I can.

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 01:27 PM PST

    I formed a company in Estonia with LeapIN. They don't offer nominee/director services.

    Can I get those services from another company and use them for my Estonian company?

    Anyone who has done this?

    What is after web dev?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:49 AM PST

    So you have been developing websites and web apps for 7 years+. ... What is next in terms of career development? Is it simply 'team lead' or 'manager?' Are there higher-paying specialties and technical roles that web developers can move into? Are things like machine learning and big data unlikely for web developers? How long are you guys expecting to be web developers?

    Is domain privacy protection worthwhile?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:54 AM PST

    First off I apologize if this is not the right sub but I'd figure I'd give it a shot. I am looking to purchase my first domain and was offered domain privacy protection from GoDaddy. Since GoDaddy's information would then be in WHOIS does that make them the legal owner of the domain? Am I really at risk having my basic personal info in the WHOIS db? Thanks in advance for any clarification

    How do you deal with work anxiety/stress when you have too much to do?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 12:19 PM PST

    Besides the standard sleep/exercise/meditation/healthy eating...

    Lately I've taken on a few side projects in addition to my day job which might not have been the best idea but I could use the cash. I have so much to do that it's like fitting 100 people through a door and I get almost paralyzed and feel like I never get enough done or the work starts to suffer.

    Simple answer I know would be to not overwhelm myself with work, but as we know sometimes when it rains it pours.

    Why are we doing <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge"> ?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 12:17 PM PST

    I only ask, because when I went Googling for what this actually does, Microsoft's own documentation says something along the lines of "if you declare <!doctype html> this already puts [our browsers] into standards mode".

    Help With Express + Mongoose Date Queries

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:42 AM PST

    Salutations fellow dev peeps,

    First off, i want to apologize right off the bat if this is the wrong sub to be posting this. If thats the case, could someone please direct me to the proper sub? Thanks in advance.

    Anyway, im building a web application that lists events in chronological order. There are events within my application that are in the past. I am trying to filter out all past events and only retrieve future events. I am able to retrieve and display all events on my page, however when i try to add filters to my query, i keep getting an empty object whenever i print it to the command line. I have relentlessly googled this for a week straight now and i am at my wits end. Can someone point me in the right direction? My code is in the link down below.

    Thanks everyone.

    Looking for website coding expertise!!

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 12:15 PM PST

    Designed a website where the sticky nav's background bar changes transparency as it scrolls down to different snaps.

    We are having a problem in that our current developer says to code this type of menu bar would be impossible. Currently there are three snap points to the site. The first snap point is just a hero image, the second is a split screen with text on the left and and image on the right. The third has snippets of blog posts.

    We just wanted the menu to be visible on first snap, when it moves to the second, it slowly fades, then on the third it reappears.

    Does anyone know the code for this or how to explain it to the developer because they don't seem to understand what we want. (It's being built on wordpress). We thought it would be an easy code but they are saying it's impossible with the half split screen on the second snappoint.

    CSS Grid - FireFox inspector problems.

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:52 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    So, there has been some funny business happing with the firefox dev tools.

    I am using css grid to make a basic website, and everytime I change the text in my footer paragraph, the dev tools seem to mess up the names of the grid. (I uses grid-template-areas)

    This sure is way to vague so I am just going to link some images: https://imgur.com/a/Vrpvs

    What could be the cause of this? The enitre code of the website can be found on my GitHub: https://github.com/Jordakoes/Jordakoes.github.io

    [Wordpress Question]Buddypress login without Wordpress account

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 11:28 AM PST

    Hello r/webdev I am building a Buddypress based site, but when a user goes to log in or make an account, it asks them to log in with Wordpress after they sign in with the account they made for my site. Not all users have a Wordpress account and those that too have probably forgotten their password. Is there a way to make it so they only need a custom account for my website, without Wordpress account, while still using Buddypress? Thanks for help :)

    "Like" Button protected with Captcha??

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 07:34 AM PST

    I have a project where I have a Thumbs Up counter/button (similar to Facebook "Like" button with counter). I don't want users to have to create an account to click this button, would it be reasonable to have the button protected by a Captcha?

    I'd like to start a simple site that allows users to post stories, with the newest stories appearing first. Is there a simple wordpress plugin for this?

    Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:47 AM PST

    Concept seems easy enough. I'd like users to be able to post without needing to register. All the website will be is literally user submitted stories. I'm aiming for it to be painfully simple and straightforward. With tags if possible, as the only real form of navigation. Anyone know offhand how this is executed.
