    How would you algorithmically detect old/ugly websites?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:30 PM PDT

    Looking for small business web design clients, this would be a helpful filter to come up with.

    I'm thinking of searching for

    • old wordpress versions
    • broken links
    • blue anchor links and serif default fonts

    The first 2 don't really capture "ugly" though. I think the 3rd one sort of does (may need to add a few more conditions)

    Curious what you guys would target to scrape such a list programmatically.

    [QUESTION]Whats a good path/starting point of learning front-end animations, transitions etc and hopefully reaching an advanced stage?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 08:46 AM PDT

    Im a Full-Stack developer but one area where I lack confidence is front-end development. Don't get me wrong I can create good user interfaces but thats basic CSS in my opinion.

    I wanna learn how to do animations, transitions etc.

    Im confused whether I should start learning basic CSS transitions, animations, 2D transformations or should I focus more libraries such as GSAP etc. I mostly work with Angular if that helps in answering this question.

    Apologies If it's a stupid question, I just need a little guidance.

    Update:

    Sorry for the messed up title, first time posting on this sub.

    I Think the Company I Work For is Selling

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 09:05 AM PDT

    I work for a small company (about 50 employees) that is generally work for hire, flat-bid project work. I've been at this company 10 years as a software developer (now senior). The company has been around for 20+ years, but I think the owners are planning on selling to a "Big Four" consulting firm who we've been doing a lot of work with recently. I was on the verge of finding other employment already as ten years is basically an eternity in the webdev field. We have a big company meeting tomorrow and I suspect they will announce this news then.

    I'm curious though, what does this mean for the company and for myself?

    Has anyone been through a similar experience? How did it work out for you?

    Web Development Career Too Good To Be True In 2019?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 06:45 PM PDT

    Coding is something that I'm doing no matter what because I really enjoy it but the idea of making web development a career in 2019 seems shady to me. There's this huge thing around being able to become a self-taught junior web developer in a couple years or even within a few months but even if that was true, wouldn't the job become more and more saturated every year due to the rising popularity of web development? I mean, all you have to really do is work hard for a year and you get this great job after that year! It really feels almost like you're cheating when you know people with masters degrees would sometimes make less money than you if it really is all still true going into 2019.

    As a developer that only owns and works on Mac, how can I test my sites on specific versions of IE and Edge?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:58 AM PDT

    Title pretty much sums it up.. Looking for the quickest, easiest way. I'd imagine doing a virtual machine would be possible but doesn't tick that "quick and easy" box.

    Are on-page facebook comments index by Google?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 08:45 AM PDT

    In WordPress (or any other CMS) you can change you default comments to be Facebook Comments using an Developer App Key.

    My question is whether or not the Facebook comments are indexed as unique on page content on your webpage as if it were direct comments on the page.

    My worry is that since it is loaded through the Facebook API through JavaScript that the content may not be visible in the DOM and not be indexed by Google.

    If true, it's unfortunate because I would get a lot more comments on my website. I wonder if the benefits will outweigh the negatives by generating longer session times and possibly more page views via the comments section but not getting any SEO juice from the on-page content itself.

    Confused on what projects to tackle as a first timer

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 04:14 PM PDT

    So I have went through several of the tracks on Treehouse, learning HTML, CSS and Javascript.

    I love it, but I know I am now at the point in which I need to start building stuff myself. My only concern is, I have no idea what to build. Are there any helpful tips that you guys could provide that maybe worked for you, or perhaps a resource you can point me in the direction of which has various projects I can tackle in order to continue my learning?

    Best way to set up single domain for multiple projects?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 04:09 PM PDT

    I plan on creating a personal website and attaching several small-scale projects to it. The projects use different backend frameworks. Ideally, they would all share the same domain and hosting service. I also want to be able to easily add new projects to the site. What is a good way to implement these needs?

    How to know when its not enough Raw CSS vs static images?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 06:38 AM PDT

    http://www.plasticbcn.com/

    Browsing this site and I thought the UI was great, I went to the developer source to see how they developed some of the UI and I came upon.... images. As you navigate the site to their cases of their work, you'll find that even more. Just divs with images.

    I expected complex positioning css with all the broken grid, large borderless window UI design, but its just images.


    I've seen great CSS that draws out cartoons on screen with JUST css, and its incredible. So it brought upon a thoughtL when is it not enough raw-code css? and when is it too much?

    Browsing this site, as a viewer, I couldn't tell that it wasn't raw code for most of it. But at the same time, its not the best to use css to draw a cartoon image on the page, when you can use a jpg/png/svg.

    I started to question where would I draw the line, and want to know others opinions. For this site in particular I thought "would you treat the two screenshots on panel 2 as one image? two images? would you use a background image to put on the overall div so the background image contains the gradient and big font? or would you just have the div have background gradient for color, and manually code in and rotate and have big font for the text that's faded in the background?

    How do you make these decisions?

    Anyone here using Surge ?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:24 PM PDT

    While going through the Gatsby Tutorials, I learned of the existence of https://surge.sh/

    I have a few questions about it if anyone is/has been using them.

    1. Let's say I'm a web developer looking for a cheap and easy way to publish several small, static websites (mostly for artists to showcase their galleries and put their resume)... Would I be able to manage so many sites with their services ? Is there a limit to the number of custom domains I can own ? If so, is it a limit per email address, or a limit per IP, or something else ?
    2. Is there a limit on the space available ? Obviously if a website has a gallery of hi-res images it can quickly become kinda heavy... Are they gonna send me a warning if I reach a certain space consumption ?
    3. Do the custom domains ever expire ? Also could they be overwritten by someone else who just decides to upload a project to the same domain ?

    Basically, as in my question 1, I'd like to know if they're as free as they claim. Not that I wanna take advantage of what looks like a beautiful initiative, but given that ~10$/mo for hosting services can be a hard sell to my clients who typically aren't swimming in money, and lots of them have very basic needs apart from the space their images take... Just evaluating my options.

    Thanks !

    Need suggestion for my plan for a e-commerce website.

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:09 PM PDT

    Hi. I need to build an e-commerce website. I know coding but never have created something as a live or as big as e-commerce. So Here is my plan:

    • Buy Domain
    • Buy shared web hosting
    • Use a free woocommerce plugin for ecommerce website

    Will that work? Will that be quick enough? Does this sound legit and workable? As I said I never created a website with every piece connected so I am having doubt how this e-commerce thing works.

    Need advice on transition from Front end dev to product owner

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 03:13 AM PDT

    I've been a front end dev for around 5 years now, and it's getting to the point where I need a career change. A lot of the time i find myself not believing in the features that i'm asked to develop and I find it really hard to motivate myself and give myself fully to the project. I'd like to be able to influence the decisions on what the devs create and I think a product owner / product manager would be a good fit.

    So...how do i get there? Do i need agile certifications or is it really all down to experience and personality?

    My people skills are way better than my dev skills and the thought of long term planning rather than 2 week sprints appeal to me.

    How to deploy and host my Web app?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 11:43 AM PDT

    Hey,

    I have a twitter bot Web app that's currently live that runs on a centos server with an apache php mysql stack. Currently functionality is a landing page, an admin area and an endpoint.

    The endpoint is just a bunch of unorganised php code that handles the request

    Customer signs up and can manage their twitter bot using the admin panel, then when someone tweets them the bot replies.

    Over 99% of all requests to my server are on the twitter bot endpoint.

    I've redone basically the whole app as a react + python flask endpoint, but currently it is only on my local dev setup

    The landing page is still a php page. And the landing page for the admin panel which is just a basic html page and the react code.

    My endpoint will now located at api.domain.com and my landing page will be domain.com

    So api.domain.com will be entirely a flask python app that communicates with my mysql database, domain.com will be landing page and domain.com/admin which will be the SPA for my admin area, which gets all of its data from api.domain.com

    The flask app and php app are now 2 different apps and could easily be run on 2 different servers.

    I'm completely lost when it comes to hosting and Linux and aws etc. I'd like a scalable solution that is easy to manage, without any CI at the moment, pushing code via git. All help appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    How to make a website usable for the business owner?

    Posted: 22 Aug 2018 11:26 AM PDT

    I am learning how to make websites and I'm wondering how you make the administration side useful for the person who owns the site. For example, when a driving instructor uploads pictures and information about their graduated pupils. Wordpress may be a little too complicated for them to use. How can it be made usable for them?

    Sorry if this is confusing, I am struggling to explain it.
