    Client chargebacked and forged signature on fake contract?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 01:04 AM PST

    Ex client chargebacked as soon as i completed her website. Saying it's "half finished" even though it was what we agreed upon in the contract that we signed. She then made her own contract and tried to get me to sign it; which i didn't. She added 20+ extra things to do to it. I thought nothing of it. Payment was via stripe; my contract is signed but she showed fake one with forged signature to the bank. I'm feeling really depressed. I wasted days on her website for her to scam me out of money. What can i do to dispute the claim?

    Best CMS/framework for product encyclopedia project?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 03:30 PM PST

    I want to build a product reference site. It's not clear to me whether I should use Drupal or Wordpress. How much more expensive will it be with Drupal?

    Here is an outline of my needs for the project:

    *Encyclopedia format: characteristics/properties link to other pages/posts. Like Toolset (Types) for Wordpress or Drupal Entity Reference

    *User accounts: *oauth *points/badges *permission levels *content editing access *create new content access

    *emphasizing affordable hosting performance in beta/launch periods, able to scale

    *accessible stack: tech that harmonizes with outsourcing. I have a little bit of coding experience and can/will learn more, but many projects will be hired out.

    Creating search and filter website page

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 02:42 PM PST

    I'm making a website for aspiring conservationists and people working on fieldwork projects to be able to view many projects in one place (my website) and eventually rate them etc. I work in this field and basically trying to bring clarity and stop people spending excruciating amounts of money on rip off projects.

    I want to make a main page where you have the conservation projects in a list format and can scroll through the titles and click on them and it hyperlinks to the page on my website with more info. I also want to add a search and filter at the the top of the page so you can filter for 'marine conservation' or 'projects in Africa' etc.

    Should I make the conservation projects their own page or their own post? I was going to make each of them their own page and then have a list of hyperlinked titles to their respective pages. How would I be able to add a search and filter widget on the top of this main page and filter through the projects? I can make a list of the projects (titles and logo) and have hyperlinks to their pages with more info, but this would just be unmoveable blocks in a list. I want them to be a more fluid list that can be searched through easily (like compare the market/shopping sites etc.- hope you guys know what i mean).

    Is there a plug in or widget I should get to make this possible? I'm pretty much a noob with webdev and know basic HTML, using wordpress.

    Many websites want you to use their mobile app, but who really needs them? What can they do that the mobile website can't?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 02:29 PM PST

    What functionality would an app around a website serve that a web-based UI cannot do in this age? For instance, when I browse Reddit on my phone, they try to get me to switch to their app for viewing Reddit topics. But what purpose do these "website apps" serve to the user? Isn't that just creating unnecessary installing and collecting more apps? An app for Pinterest, an app for Reddit, etc. OR... just use one app, a browser of your choice, to browse all your favorite websites.

    They're just UI interfaces that can be replicated on a browser. I just still don't get the purpose for most apps that do not really leverage the phone's hardware functions (I could see it useful for websites that encourage the use of taking photos), or that depend on more real-time performance such as mobile games.

    I'm not a fan of this trend of "use our mobile app because we made our web site not work as well." Just make a functional site that works well on both mobile and desktop.

    Best place to start getting into web development for someone with programming experience

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 02:25 PM PST

    Hi All,

    I would like to learn about web development, I would not say that I am a complete beginner, I learned programming with C/C++ back in the day (10 years) and since then coded in python, matlab, linux/unix scripts, SQL, some html/css, VBA...

    The problem is, I meddled with these whenever I deemed necessary for small to midrange tasks (my background is in physics, and used these for research/work whenever necessary) But I cannot claim that I am an expert in any of these either, and I definitely did not write production quality code which started with UML designs and has all those error handlers and what not. Just small programs and scripts that did the task at hand.

    I would like to learn more and basically polish my skills regarding:

    i) How everything comes together in a web app. (The Stack), which stack to learn etc. ii) Object Oriented Programming, the decision process and logic of constructing classes/objects for the project at hand. iii) Starting and finishing small projects, production quality is important.

    My question is, I am not sure where to start? This learning project of mine will probably take 2-3 years to feel comfortable with it, but not sure how to proceed with it.

    I did browse through some online courses in Udemy, Coursera etc. The problem is, these courses tend to skip over the important parts and usually serve as an introduction. Might be too basic for me, but on the other hand might give me an idea about how everything works together.

    I would greatly appreciate any input. I do prefer learning from online courses which are project oriented, I can also use books but I prefer to use them as reference, otherwise I tend to spend way too much time with details.

    Thanks in advance!

    Use the full power of Your Brain to be a Better Developer

    new to web development, html, css. have a question

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 02:22 PM PST

    Sorry if this has been posted before or mentioned. I'm new to learning HTML and web development. I'd like to get out of retail and do something that pays more. I invested in a small class on Udemy and have started the course this week.

    Beforehand I tried Java but as a newbie to that I felt that it was entirely too difficult to grasp. I'm thinking HTML will help set a good foundation. Anyways, I keep seeing sites like Wix, for example, pop up. I assume that making a website using Wix is probably very basic. Would programs like Wix take over web development jobs? I'm also wondering how long I would have to study on average in order to get an entry level job in web development? Sorry if I sound like a newbie or naive. I just appreciate any insight. I'm hoping I made a good investment in a web development course.

    How does end-to-end encryption work in a B2B-SaaS environment?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 01:22 PM PST

    I have developer a few different SaaS products over the years that are primarily built as an SPA using Laravel. I have a pretty solid infrastructure setup in how I handle the data and keep things secure, but I want to do better. Here is my process:

    • The user submits data from a form and I encrypt that entire object using the JWT of the user, before it hits the HTTP call - then that call is in HTTPS.
    • When it arrives to the server, I decrypt the object using the JWT, verify the individual values are ready to save to the DB, then I encrypt the data before adding it to the database.
    • I have a rotating key that is generated weekly in the Azure Keyvault that is unique per company.
    • When it's time to get the data, I reverse the process by pulling the data, decrypting the string into an object, then encrypting that and sending to the SPA. Once it hits the SPA, I decrypt the object and then render the details for the user.

    How can I improve this process? I want the users to feel confident in their data being stored and served securely, but it's been a challenge to figure out how to do that if the data should be available for multiple users and multiple devices.

    Freelancers who did not resort to networking for customers, how did you acquire your customers?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 09:08 AM PST

    Every freelancers always say they get their customers from friends/family/network/word of mouth, I'd like to hear how freelancers acquire customers without resorting to these.

    Client request possible? Build app that uses teachable (similar to shopify) for purchases

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 12:49 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm currently working with my first real client but he asked for something I don't think is possible.

    I was asked to build a mobile app to accompany a teachable website. However I have never worked with teachable before. Teachable is a website where you can build websites for online courses. My client really only uses teachable for hosting pdfs with the content for the courses. However teachable makes it easy for them to handle the sale process (taxes, ...).

    I was planning to build the app with flutter using firebase for authentication. There will be InApp purchases to buy the courses and store bought content to the user.

    The client asked If it would be possible to handle the purchase process with teachable. I have no idea how this could work. I could open teachable in a webview to buy the course but then a user would have to create two accounts, one firebase account for the app and one teachable account. I would still need to get some kind of callback when the purchase process is done to store the bought item to the firebase user.

    I currently see no way how this could possibly work. Should I tell my client that a teachable website and a mobile app could only work independently? So every teachable customer would have to create a new firebase account and rebuy the items?

    Best regards.

    What performance metrics should be tracked when migrating a large web app from AngularJS to React

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 12:36 PM PST

    At my company, we are migrating our large web app from AngularJS over to React. We haven't started the migration itself as we are still in the migration planning phase.

    In an effort to impress management and make them realize that this migration has been worthwhile, we want to be able to present data from before and after the migration.

    What metrics should our team be keeping track of so that we can present some impressive data after the migration has completed?

    How is my angular app authenticating calls to this API?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 12:02 PM PST

    I've got an Angular 6 app that makes API calls to Jira to get ticket info. In order for the calls to work from localhost, you have to first be logged into Jira. However, I can't figure out how this authentication is working since my app running in localhost doesnt have the session cookie. Is the browser doing something behind the scenes here?

    "Regulated" domains on Cloudflare

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 11:46 AM PST

    "Regulated" domains on Cloudflare

    I currently have an whatevergames.com domain, but it's expiring soon and I was thinking of getting whatever.games instead. It's pretty much the same price, and will be much easier to remember. I was planning to get it on Namesilo and transfer to Cloudflare.

    However, I spotted this:

    Regulated?

    And I've no idea what it means. How exactly is it regulated? Does it have some requirements, like, dunno, being available only for registered companies or something?

    Tools or services for knowing when your web site is down?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 11:30 AM PST

    I often find myself sending emails to very small, non-IT orgs, to let them know there web site has been down. They are almost always shocked, as they did not know before my email.

    Is there a tool or service that would be cheap enough for very small orgs that would monitor their site and send them an email when their site is not up?

    What's a good way to do authentication for SSR MVC endpoints and API endpoints that I use to do more dynamic stuff?

    Posted: 01 Feb 2019 10:49 AM PST

    Hi!

    So I've got the following problem (PHP with Symfony, by the way). I have a web application that is mostly rendered on the server. But for some things I want to have a more dynamic experience and need some api endpoints for that.

    Of course, if the page itself requires authorization, the API endpoint requires authorization as well.

    I can't use the cookie I have for the form login with the API (httpOnly cookies and such is probably the keyword here). The only thing I came up with is the following:

    1. User enters username and password and clicks login
    2. I login via the API endpoint and get some sort of token or key (JWT maybe?) and store is in the localStorage.
    3. Once that's successful I let the user through to the form login where the user gets the cookie .
    4. All the pages that use API endpoints that require authorization are also protected with the cookie authentication so that I still get session management in the stateless API controllers.

    Alternatively, I can simply put the api token or key via the template engine in a little bit of JavaScript. Like, user clicks login, cookie authentication generates the token as well, redirect to some /loggedin page where there's someling like 

    let token = {{ user.token }}; localStorage.put("token", token);

    in a script tag and then it redirects to whatever main page a logged in user would see. {{ whatever }} is template engine stuff.

    Especially the last options feels very hacky and the first one feels more complicated than it might need to be especially for an application that is not really offering a full API just some endpoints for a more modern experience.

    Does anybody have a better idea?

    Thanks for you time.
