    How many productive hours do you have in a day?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 10:38 AM PDT

    Ive recently started a new remote job that has 8 hour days. Before this job I was working freelance and did more like 4-5 hours a day and am finding it hard to transition to a full 8 hour day, as I find I burn out around the 5-6 hour mark.

    I have worked in offices before that have an 8 hour day, and it seems that the culture there expects you to have 1-2 hours of non-productive time, like walking around, chatting with co-workers, making coffee, or just dicking around.

    Im feeling kind of guilty for not fulfilling my quota of hours, but honestly I just can't bring myself to be productive after 6 hours. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

    How do you send confirmation links to emails using automation?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 02:02 PM PDT

    What is the common/norm way of sending a confirmation link (using a custom domain email) to a recently created account?

    I'm developing a web app in Ruby and don't want to deal with many spam accounts so I want to send an email confirmation to users, but the problem is that I don't know how that process is normally handled.

    Would anyone happen to know of any API's/gems/services/ways that could help in automating that process? Where I could edit the confirmation link sent from a custom domain email of mine to the email that's trying to register.

    I'm a professional developer who's never built something from the ground up, looking for advice with my first personal project

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 07:33 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I'm a developer with ~2.5 years of professional experience at a startup building a fairly complex web application. I'm also a music producer and DJ, and decided I wanted to take on my first substantial personal project of building a site for my production alias. At my job all the framework/technology decisions were already made before I joined the team so I'm looking for some advice on getting started and avoiding pitfalls along the way (sorry if this isn't the right place to post this).

    I'm aiming to build a single page app with the following features to start out:

    - Some type of embeded media player module that plays tracks off of SoundCloud, and the ability to easily change the embedded track from a backend interface

    - A built in custom audio visualizer that generates cool visuals based off the track that is playing

    - A contact form so promoters and other DJs can get in contact with me easily

    Additionally, I'd like to ensure that I can easily extend this to add other features in the future, like a photo gallery or a touring schedule (in the extremely unlikely event that this alias takes off lol).

    I've already acquired the domain I'll be using and got myself setup on a hosting platform. Now, I'm trying to decide what technologies I should build this with and I'm getting a little stuck. At my Job I'm currently working primarily in PHP with Joomla so I'm leaning more towards some of the newer/fancier JS frameworks as a learning exercise.

    I have some experience with Node.js so I feel like that would be a reasonable place to start for the server side of things. Also, since I need the ability to swap out site content I think I'll need some type of CMS. I've been looking at headless CMS options like Strapi and Directus since I want something pretty generic and customizable, but I'm worried that this approach might be overkill or too difficult to attempt right now.

    As for frontend frameworks, I'm pretty overwhelmed by the number of choices and kinda at a loss as to what the best approach is. I don't think React is the right choice here based on the research that i've done. Vue seems like it might be a reasonable choice but again I'm not entirely sure. As for the visualizer I want to build, I'm not sure what the correct approach would be. Most of my research has been into the native JS Web Audio API, but it's not clear to me yet whether I could leverage this to translate audio output from an embeded SoundCloud link into something visual.

    I'm pretty set on avoiding PHP for this project as I would like to learn some of these newer JS technologies and grow my skills, but if this is a stupid idea please tell me. Any comments on the frameworks I mentioned or suggestions for better stacks for this type of project would be greatly appreciated :)

    Stripe Invoice vs Payment

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 06:42 AM PDT

    Hi I am trying to learn stripe for payments and subscriptions and have a question concerning payments and invoices.

    I don't get the difference between the two. It appears each invoice is a payment. Both have receipts. Both can have a customer.

    So why would I use one over the other. And are there subscription payments or does this only work with invoices?

    Wordpress Development Question

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 02:36 PM PDT

    Hello, I have taken a freelance job that I thought would be fairly easy to do because it just involved me recreating the homepage to an e-commerce website, which I accomplished with React.JS; however, about halfway through the front-end of the project, my client informed me that the previous dev used Wordpress for his current website. I have pretty much completed the front-end of the page but I have no idea how to start with working on the back-end of this project. I ended up transferring all my front-end code to a Gatsby.JS project because I heard that Gatsby makes it easier to access the Wordpress API. However, I still don't know how to change a single page for a Wordpress project when my page was not made using Wordpress (all the tutorials I can find are on implementing Gatsby to create a NEW Wordpress page, not update an existing site). As you can tell, I have no experience with Wordpress, so any advice or feedback will help.

    I am looking to knock down the learning curve for learning gatsby and django by finding a mentor(I will pay). Project description in text field.

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 02:23 PM PDT

    Looking to build a guitar tuner using these technologies. I want the guitar tuner to listen via soundcard/microphone and have the corresponding pitch to display in a dynamic window. I just started with gatsby and front end development. I am looking for answers to these questions:

    1) Do I have the right tools for the job?

    2) If so, what plugins do I need for gatsby? If no, what tools do I need?

    3) How should I split the work(i.e. what logic will gatsby handle, what logic will django handle)?

    4) How do you recommend I document the process?

    There are probably many more questions I have not even thought of, that is why I would prefer 1 on 1 coaching. After spending a few hours stomping around on gatsby I realized I am going to be wasting a lot of time stomping around and reading about plugins I won't need. I would like to hit the ground running as quickly as possible.

    Thanks in advance

    Easiest way to send emails from website form?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 05:52 AM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm a beginner/novice level html/css programmer and I'm building a static website, with pictures, info about a training business and its courses(autocad, revit, fusion360 but also soft skills). I want to implement a form for each course's page which will send an email to the business' email with name, email and text.

    The business is small so It won't receive 100 requests or more in a month, I was thinking of https://www.netlify.com/docs/form-handling/ but hosting It is more of a hassle for my case.

    How do I exactly implement an easy solution that sends emails directly from the form to the desired email WITHOUT relying on outside services? I was thinking in php with a post method but the moment I try sending an email It redirects me to my php code.

    Can I use Javascript alone or php?

    Thanks and kind regards.

    Adblock stopping front end from communicating with back end?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 01:12 PM PDT

    I've recently made a project with VueJs and Django. I host the frontend on Netlify and the backend on a linode server.

    I noticed that after I set up a domain for my linode server, adblock would no longer allow my front end to speak with my backend graphQL endpoint with adblock turned on. I have to turn adblock off in order for it to make the request.

    I know there aren't any practical ways around adblocks, but I want to know why my adblock suddenly thinks that endpoint is serving ads? Is there something else I need to do to my back end server?

    Axios is used to make the request to the back end.

    There are absolutely no ads on the site and there have never been ads associated with either of the domains so it shouldn't have ended up on any of their lists.

    How auth works in front-end?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2019 11:31 PM PDT

    I posted something similar this week, some doubts about the back became clearer, but I still do not understand very well how the front-end authentication process works, ie, all that process when calling apis that need credentials (basic auth, token , jwt etc) and how to relate things, how to know if the user is logged in and get their token to call apis, or redirect to login page

    I believe that this is often done in SPA, but I have not gotten to do anything of the kind, I know just a little bit of js and my focus is on the back end, however I might learn react and I already want to be prepared to create SPA with authentication.

    I also do not want something very detailed about it (unless you want to explain it), I want to know more about the flow and have idea of what to research to implement

    How to report a security flaw?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 12:16 PM PDT

    I recently bought a service from a local business, and when I logged into my account, I found that their website stores some client information (name, address, birthday), and sets up user accounts in a way that I believe could allow someone else to access the user's personal data in some cases.

    Obviously, I haven't checked if my theory is right.

    My info hasn't been compromised.

    What's the best way to disclose a security hole without them thinking I will/have exploited it?

    How to run a scaleable web agency with many clients?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 11:37 AM PDT

    My friend and I are starting our own digital profiling agency. He is supposed to videos, photography and so on, and I will be making websites and running them. Currently, the websites that I have made has been running through nginx reverse proxying to different ports on which I serve a NodeJS server. I am sure there is a much better way serving non-static content that is scaleable. And when I say scaleable, I don't mean scaleable for a single client. But for me as a developer handling several clients. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? I am open to any advice you can give me on starting up by myself and handling clients aswell?

    301 Redirect and moving content/SEO from old website to new website?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 11:14 AM PDT

    New to Web-Editing hoping to help a family member with moving SEO searches, content etc from an old Wordpress website to a new webflow website.

    The older website has all sorts of content in articles in the past that get's lots of search results.

    https://university.webflow.com/article/setting-up-301-redirects

    I'm ready to place old and new domains in here but I'm determining do I/should I need to supposedly copy n paste all the old articles in the new website just in case as even though it'll already be getting search juice it won't have the old articles and I can't just link on the new website to the old articles as then the old articles will still be getting the search juice and not the new website. Is there a more efficient way then copy n pasting the articles in before or after the 301 redirect?

    What would be the best way to relocate the old content to the new website and should I do this before or after the 301 redirect step?

    [JS] Get info when every image was loaded

    Posted: 07 Apr 2019 04:15 AM PDT

    Hey people!

    I have a method to download some images in a website after the page load.

    I would to fire a function when every image is loaded.

    I have checked this solution:

    var img = document.querySelector('img') function loaded() { (...) } if (img.complete) loaded() else { img.addEventListener('load', loaded) img.addEventListener('error', function() { (...) )}; } 

    Once i have a bunch of images and not just one, i would like to avoid doing an iteration like "each" over every image and check if every image is loaded counting the number that the "loaded" function is executed or something like that.

    Could anyone help me, please?

    Thank you very much
