    Where can I ask opinion based web development questions which are not suitable for stackoverflow?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 05:17 AM PDT

    For example, I am currently making a CRUD web application that allows people to upload their 2D or 3D artworks. I have added the functionality to assign categories to those artworks, however, I have read on several places that I need to have both tags AND categories for better usability and SEO optimization, which doesn't really make sense to me since the way I see it, those things are identical.

    I have a page which displays all categories and when you click on a certain category, you're sent to a page that displays artworks that have this category only. You can also assign more than one categories to an artwork if you wish.

    Now my question would be, do I need both categories and tags, what would the difference between those two be and what would I use the tags for if I were to add them.

    Questions like these seem to not be welcomed at stackoverflow since they're opinion based and even if it were not opinion based, I wouldn't know under what tag to ask it. This is why I'm asking here. Thanks for reading.

    Good design UI/UX course/resources for web developers

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 06:29 AM PDT

    I really would like to know more about web app design and UI/UX as a web developer. I'm not asking about CSS courses or anything specific re: how to execute a particular design on your app, but more about general principles that could be useful for a software engineer.

    Is there any course/resource that you've found particularly helpful?

    Learning GO as an introduction into web development - is this a bad idea?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 01:22 PM PDT

    I know the basics of HTML/CSS/JS where I made simple requests for API and produced an HTML page using AJAX.

    I'm hoping to learn a programming language that will allow me to interact with API and produce results on an HTML page. Is it ok for me to start with GO as an introduction to web development? I'm not particularly interested in web design but more on the back end. Or should I start with like NodeJS or PHP?

    Apply direct for company or via recruiter? (UK)

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 02:42 PM PDT

    So I'm looking at applying to a company, that I've seen advertised both by the company but also a number of recruiters.

    I'm wondering if I should go direct or via a recruiter? Having been a recruiter myself, I appreciate that when it comes to salary negotiation etc, it might be easier via a recruiter, but there's also the extra cost to the employer, and the fact they "own" you as a candidate. If their relationship falls apart then the company can't realistically hire me without paying them, which they might refuse (I've seen it happen myself..).

    Any advice appreciated! I do anticipate the need to negotiate salary potentially as I'm going for the top end..

    UX rant: Airbnb calendar locale

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 10:02 AM PDT

    Today I received an email about my upcoming booking and did a double-take. It was showing Tuesday-Saturday instead of Monday-Friday like it should have been.

    Well that's weird -- maybe it's just a GMT/timezone bug. I logged in to double-check. Nope, still wrong. Hit the "change dates" button and the calendar popped up.

    Weird again -- the booking is correct on the calendar. 5 days, one day free on each side.

    Wait. Oh. Crap.

    They're displaying the calendar in European/International format with the week starting on Monday.

    In case you're not familiar with calendar locales, calendars are formatted with the week starting on Monday most place --except-- in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

    We start our calendars on --Sunday-- with the "work week" sandwiched in-between. (Don't ask why, that's just how we do it).

    Every other travel website in the world (even European ones) manage to get this right according to either 1) the locale set in your browser, or 2) based on your account settings.

    I tweeted Airbnb support about this problem, and they replied, "we think this is a great idea" and invited me to submit it at their generic feedback form aka. /dev/null.

    So a massive company like Airbnb with 3000+ employees and >$2.6billion in revenue doesn't support a basic locale standard that Expedia had working properly in 1996?

    Well thanks AirBNB, your UX laziness cost me $173 CAD today. $40 of which still goes directly into your pocket.

    I wonder how many other people have run into this same problem.

    Are infinite scroll sites REALLY the thing to do?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 07:09 AM PDT

    Am I the only person who thinks these sites, where the site is just one long page, look bad? It just feels unorganized and like everything got dumped on one page. Is this what people want now? What is the reasoning for this?

    I'm not super experienced with web dev/design, and am just kind of getting into this, but it seems like every site is like this now and it never feels good to me.

    Where can I find a proper CMS?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 03:38 PM PDT

    The company I contract for uses webpop.com a lot but because of frequent server outages, lack of support to paying customers, and just generally looking for a better solution I am wondering what other people are using. The space that webpop fills is providing a drag and drop form builder backed by a database. However you can't access the database directly but only via template tags or an obscure JavaScript server side API.

    We've tried the WordPress + GravityForms route but this doesn't scale when the conditional logic gets complex and quickly becomes a nightmare having to duplicate an entire section just to add an extra conditional test.

    There is of course the excellent jotform.com API but you have to embed that with iframes and the content (submitted form data) has to be retrieved via their REST API. Its good but falls short in terms of natural integration with the template theme.

    I like django CMS with its front side editing but our managed hosting provider is Django adverse so am looking for a PHP technology.

    Is their a CMS out there, even commercial, that provides the best of all worlds?

    Project ideas for a beginner full-stack dev?

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 03:04 PM PDT

    Hey there!

    A few weeks ago, I've started learning back-end technologies, and it is just amazing!

    I have built some small apps, but I want to give something more serious a shot.

    I am currently having fun with the MERN stack, so if you guys could give me some ideas on what could I tackle on next, that would be much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Advice on modernizing a large enterprise application

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 03:01 PM PDT

    So, this is my first real webdev job -- I started about a month ago -- so take it easy on me. The existing application works, but there are some problems, first and foremost, that the UI is extremely dated and not very user friendly. As a result, clients do not regularly log on, choose to communicate via phone/email, etc. which leads to a significant loss in efficiency. The grand idea is to rebuild the frontend with React/MaterialUI and use the existing 500K+ line PHP codebase as an API. The problems are these: the PHP code is quite messy. Technical debt stemming from changes and hotfixes has accrued for around a decade and has never been addressed. For instance, the authentication is just something some contractor whipped up nigh on a decade ago. The PHP code was not built with a framework nor with any MVC structure. Completely rewriting is a non-starter due to the immense size and complexity. I have also read that migrating all that code to something like Laravel to build out a sane API can be just as difficult and time consuming. I guess my question boils down to this: Is it worth the massive effort it will require it to try to clean up and standardize our existing PHP code base? If so, what are some of the best practices to achieve this end?

    Adding a dependency to an AngularJs app after bootstrapping

    Posted: 15 Oct 2018 05:01 AM PDT

    Background: this is a large website (not web app) which uses AngularJs to provide some site-wide functionality like search, morals, accordions etc. Within the site there are also a few large features, themselves more like an SPA but still part of the site-wide Angular application. Since it's a typical website, Angular is not responsible for routing.

    I'm working on refactoring our build to use Webpack and am making the Angular bits more modular.

    The issue I'm having is that by bundling the core site features and bootstrapping the application, I then can't add the feature modules (ie angular.module('myapp').requires.push doesn't work post bootstrap).

    At the moment I'm using a filthy hack to run a feature app inside the site app, which feel really flakey.

    What are my options? I need to keep bundle sizes sensible, hence extracting the features to separate modules, but then I can't inject them as dependencies on particular pages. Tried using $controllerProvider but no luck there either.
