    What is with the comments UX of Medium? Is it not extremely annoying? Am I missing something?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 03:27 AM PST

    You're reading the comments below a Medium article. Why is the whole comment clickable and why does it open the comment in a new tab when you click on it? Say you're gonna select a text, copy it or right click and do a google search. Nope, when you click on it, it opens a new tab for you with the comment.

    Is there a rationale for this? Do you know other sites that apply this pattern? I find it infuriating.

    So I got fired from my job...

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 02:24 PM PST

    I was finishing up my second project on a exciting Friday, where all of a sudden the CEO calls me and my manager in. The CEO told me to sit down, and that he has some bad news. His exact words were:"I know you're young and that you have a lot to learn. But unfortunately, we can't keep spoon feeding you and sadly we have to go our separate ways. We are a small business and you need something much larger. So here's the resignation notice and I need your signature." And my manager just sat there in silent and didn't say a word. I was 99% percent finished my project and this happened out of nowhere. I asked if I could have another chance and they told me to return the keys and laptop and clean up my desk. I couldn't even say goodbye to all my coworkers. And when I left the building, I ran into a good coworker who was so happy to see me. But quickly sad and shocked after I told him I got fired. The good thing is that I still get paid normally until 23rd Nov, but won't come into the office.

    Like what the hell, right? Everything was going so well and then this happens. Tbh it felt like you walking around minding your own business, and some maniac comes out of nowhere and hits you with his full power to you face. Like this was my first IT job and it was perfect.

    Anyone ever experienced something like this...?

    Any good CMS options?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 02:15 PM PST

    I've been freelancing for a few months now, and made a few sites, and I'm looking for an option to give my clients an easy way to edit their own websites. I recently came across a few CMS's, but they don't seem incredibly popular. Is a cms a good option, or should I start leaning towards things like WordPress so clients don't have to program HTML etc to get what they want?

    Wrote a calculator using React - Feedback?

    Posted: 10 Nov 2018 10:33 PM PST

    I just finished a calculator in React, I spent a lot of time writing my own infix to postfix converter and postfix evaluator in order to avoid using eval. Hoping to get some feedback on it.

    I also refactored the web app for React Native and have a build for Android available in a separate repo if anyone is interested.

    With today's modern frameworks, is it still a good practice to let events propagate to a parent for handling

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 10:34 AM PST

    I googled and didn't find anything directly on point. Before the advent of "modern" frameworks (let's say AngularJS) it seemed customary to handle events on a parent, let's say a div enclosing a table, instead of every tr within the table. To my understanding there were some sort of performance implications, and it was easy enough to find the event's true target by tag, and some other attribute to identify the specific element.

    Is this still a recommended practice in today's day and age? I've recently created a demo in Vue.js and didn't want to create a component for each row so I took this route. Maybe if the element becomes complicated enough to warrant a component, only then handle events directly at that level?

    Any thoughts or discussion is welcome

    Creating a site and program to notify you of restocks

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 02:05 PM PST

    Hi, I had a question regarding developing a site to notify you of restocks, how much suggesting like this would cost, or possibly an estimate.

    The idea is to have it search two sites for restocks. Users can sign on and submit the keywords the wish to search. I'm turn this site will notify you via email when something is in stock. Development of the site will be needed as well as the coding the program that will search for restocks.

    That's the idea, does anyone have an idea of what something like this could cost?

    Thanks.

    Alternative to Zopim chat?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 04:12 PM PST

    Hello!

    I'm seeking for an alternative to Zopim (Zendesk chat) due to two things

    - Price (Need multiple agent slots)

    - Uniqueness (99% of competitors are on Zopim, would be nice to see something fresh)

    From what I saw there's Intercom and Tawk.to (this one's free even I believe)

    Thank you for your insights!

    Webpage + Database on portable USB

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 03:13 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    recently I've been thinking about creating the whole website on portable USB. Wherever I come with USB, it's enough to stick it in, start the website and everything works as it should. But my ideas do not allow public FTP server.
    My question is if it is possible to do such a thing. I am not a professional, so I would welcome any ideas. I've been also checking google for this issue but mostly found posts from 2010 etc.
    Please let me know your opinions/experiences. I would welcome any help :)

    Have a nice upcoming week!
    Good luck.

    Help me understand the basic structure of a website and the system for uploading it to the web?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 06:12 AM PST

    So I'm just starting out my career in web development, learned some html via an online course and slowly moving onto css now. But I still have some confusion over what exactly goes into the creation, quality checking, and upload of a website. Im hoping you guys would be nice enough to clear it up for me?

    So essentially i have created a very basic html "webpage" (if i can even call it that) using my beginner knowledge of html, It's just got some text, a table with a "Home" tab and a "Login" tab, the Home tab i have linked to the home page html file, and the login tab links to a login page html file. So 2 files in total.

    Now I'm wondering...if i wanted to make this available on the internet...is this literally all I would need? Do i upload these two html files to a web hosting service to get my website up and running, then buy a domain and boom i can access my website from anywhere with internet? i seem to have some broken/patchy knowledge on this subject, surely it cant be this easy right? I understand that professional websites contain many many files with many lines of html, js and css code. but is the basic system still the same? every website is basically just html files uploaded to a web hosting service with a fancy domain name?

    I apologize if this question gets asked often. i just thought I'd articulate it in my own words, i am currently trying to gather as much knowledge on making websites as i can so i can start my apprenticeship software and web development course with a head start.

    Thankyou

    I'm a newbie trying to set up a test database for a mobile app idea I have. What exactly do I need to learn to make this a reality?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 01:23 PM PST

    Hi! I'm new to web development but I have done programming with MATLAB and Excel VBA. Long story short, I have an idea for a mobile app that I want to test with my friends, and based on the research I've done it looks like I need to set up a database and server which I would like to do with my Raspberry Pi. This database for now would just need to store dates and times from a few users. I would like to know what languages/concepts I need to learn about in order to get where I want to go, and if anyone has links to good learning resources I would greatly appreciate it.

    Here's what I'm planning on learning based on my research so far.

    • Basic SQL Queries
    • MySQL
    • PHP in order to create a REST API
    • Apache web server
    • Some language to create and Android app

    This looks a bit daunting to me but I'm willing to give it a go if it's what I need to learn.

    How to hook up Webpack with Express view templates?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 12:53 PM PST

    From what I understand, with webpack we usually define an index.html file and use HtmlWebpackPlugin and html-loader to inject the outfile file urls into the index.html; especially with hashed file names, we can't inject the files manually.

    So what about Express view templates (I am using handlebars)? Is there a way to hook them up?

    Advice for remote/freelance work

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 08:16 AM PST

    Hey fellow webdevs! I've been working at a design agency as a lead front end developer for about four years now and am considering quitting my job to be a full time freelance contractor.

    I've had a few freelance projects before but I generally get these from other developers/designers that I know personally.

    So questions for all the freelancers out there: - What are the best places to apply for freelance work? - What do you do for health insurance? - Do you have any trouble finding work?

    What's the least headache-inducing, FREE, option for setting up mailboxes on a Lamp VPS?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 11:15 AM PST

    I'm just getting into the VPS world as my shared hosting is expiring at the end of the month and is too expensive for my hobby sites. Perfect time to switch and learn all this stuff finally.

    I'm using Amazon Lightsail with Ubuntu 18.04 LAMP stack. Just got things set up so the websites are live but now I want to focus on setting up my email addresses. I've read that it's almost always easier to just pay for a mail service but I'd like to go without paying for anything if possible. I'll have maybe 20-25 email addresses over all my domains when all is said and done.

    What are my best options for setting up a secure email system on a VPS? Does something like this seem like a good route? Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    Edit: Forgot to mention I have Webmin installed as well, but have no idea how to use it properly yet, haha.

    Looking for a way to import a website into figma either as svg or sketch

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 09:54 AM PST

    I want to import an already in ReactJS created Webapp into figma to make it available for designers.

    I am thinking about creating of the project SVG or sketch files and import them then to fighma. With SVG I have problem that I did not find any service or tool which does reliable create a SVG of a page and with sketch files I have the problem that I need sketch to create sketch files and I do not have a Mac.

    Does someone maybe know another way or has a tip how to import a website into figma?

    Should I learn Vue.js as someone who aims to work as full-stack or back-end PHP/Laravel developer. I definitely do not want to become front-end only as designing the look and UI/UX of a website is not my forte. For example, would using Vue.js enhance my Laravel CRUD website in any meaningful way?

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 05:32 AM PST

    I've been wondering whether I should invest time into learning Vue.js at this moment in time. I am hesitant because I graduated university recently and since I would like to find a job soon, I have been focusing on getting better at the languages and technologies that I will definitely have to use on my first job. I'm doing this because even though I have learned a lot in the past 2 years, I still feel like there is so much more to learn. So if I decide to learn Vue.js and grow to like it, I'd spend less time on PHP, MySQL, Laravel, Eloquent, etc.

    The problem is that I have not used any front-end frameworks like Angular or Vue.js and thanks to that I am not sure what to expect from them other than the ability to easily create Single Page Applications with them.

    For example, would using Vue.js enhance my Laravel CRUD website in any meaningful way? What would become easier or harder if Vue.js is used? The website I am talking about is this - http://onyx.space/ ( some parts of the website are still work in progress ).

    Thank you for reading :)

    What I've learn't running a text-based web game for 9 months

    Posted: 11 Nov 2018 09:01 AM PST

    Hello, I'm Tom the creator of Zapoco. A free text-based online game where you compete against other players to survive a zombie apocalypse. I always envisioned Zapoco as a game built on players feedback - allowing it to evolve and change as needed. Since launching 9 months ago a lot has evolved to accommodate the rapid growth, many things to balance the in-game economy, its been a pleasure to see the community and game evolve together.

    Economy balancing.

    The main factor when managing a text-based online browser game is ensuring the community economy is balanced, almost every new feature release effects the economy in one way or another.

    Scheduling, building and testing new features.

    We have a huge development roadmap planned for the coming weeks, months and even years. We learn't testing new releases is essential to ensure the game economy is balanced.

    Listening to players.

    We often run in-game polls to allow players to vote for which features and direction they would like to see the game develop. We use in-game forums and Discord (https://discord.gg/qG9EhRR) to communicate with players and listen to feedback.

    On Monday we are releasing a new, exciting feature to allow players to specialise in a skill and craft unique items. I'm looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

    As ideal as it seems, I will never be able to make everyone happy. Some changes people love, others will hate. It's the nature of anything we do - we can't please everyone. And despite that, it will remain my goal. I am eternally grateful that the Zapoco community supports and believes in the game.
