    I am remaking my moms photography website, any feedback?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 10:46 PM PST

    I feel confused and lost. I'm taking way too long to develop a website.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 03:02 PM PST

    It's my second site.

    The first one was created with a combination of HTML, CSS and PHP.

    This time, I'm using React and Drupal as a headless CMS,

    The problem is, I tried to overcome my lack of experience by researching what I need to do, but now I'm in this weird position where I kinda know what needs to be done, but also kinda don't.

    What I mean is like I know what the major points I'll have to go through are, but I feel...stuck when it comes to completing each of those major points.

    It's the steps making-up those major points.

    It always take a lot of time for me to figure out what I need to do, to use, to install, to learn. (I've been working on this site for 6 months, and a lot of that time was just me panicking and hesitating). And it can lead to huge losses of time, like when I spent several hours learning about Flux and Redux before realizing I don't actually need these.

    Moreover, I'm always left with this uneasiness, because there's no guarantee the choice I made was actually the best call I could've made, let alone the right one.

    A couple of examples :

    • I know I need to create a design for the site, and I did some research on color psychology, the psychology of typography, design principles, etc... But... there's no way to know when a design is actually done. I could most likely tweak the design indefinitely and still not be satisfied with the result, so how can I know when enough is enough ?
    • There's several viable ways any type of content can be displayed (Articles, charts...), so how do I know which kind of presentation is the best ?
    • I want to create a mobile UI, but when should I use a library, and when should I code from scratch for my components ? Especially if I want to be able to re-use them in the future ?
    • I've been creating a prototype with react, and I've worked quite a lot on it, but since I did that what am I supposed to change to turn this into a "proper" UI ? What's the difference between the prototype and the end product ?
    • I know I need to put a reverse DNS to make the react clients fetch data from drupal, and configure my firewall accordingly but is that it ? I can't help but feel like I'm not taking into account a lot of things backend-wise?

    But you guys most likely don't follow a precise bullet list when developing websites, do you ?

    How do you guys handle this ambiguity ?

    Do you follow any methodology/philosophy to figure out what's the next step ?

    TL;DR : I have tons of small questions which don't have clear cut answers and I while I know what the big lines are, I'm unsure of how to complete said big lines. How do you guys manage do it ?

    ​

    EDIT : I guess that another way to put it would be : What framework/process/methodology you follow to figure out when a task is done, and what should be done next.

    Burning out, maybe?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 10:45 PM PST

    I build, host and maintain sites for ~20 clients. A couple are almost enterprise (Drupal, hundreds of thousands of records, .gov's primarily). Some are WordPress brochureware. A couple are fancy GraphQL, Gatsby, Javascript, contraptions I barely understand but manage to make work. The rest are non-profits and static (Jekyll, Netlify and GitHub pages mostly). I change context a lot.

    But I'm lonely. I work in a vacuum in my own little space. My family knows to leave me alone when my office door is closed and I basically see my kids when I drive them back and forth to school. My friends don't care, this is a foreign language to them.

    For example: today, I spent the better part of the day fondling PostCSS and Laravel Mix. In the end, I compiled/purged/minified 500K of Tailwind and Javascript into something like 18K of beauty. Then I pushed to production, the web hook did it's thing and it all worked. Fucking magic.

    You guys, all strangers, are the only people I can tell this to.

    Payment processor for foot fetish content?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 03:23 PM PST

    I'm really losin my mind trying to figure out the best processor for this stuff

    Was going to be PayPal, but they banned her account. So I figured we'd try Stripe, Stripe couldn't give a concrete answer on whether or not it's allowed they want to see the actual content. The content is all non-nudity foot fetish stuff: pressing gas pedals, pouring honey on toes, sucking toes. I learned how to use Stripe but I am beginning to question whether or not its worth it and what would be a better option where she definitely won't get banned?

    I don't want to waste my time w/ Stripe if they are just going to ban it on launch day

    New Year, New Job? Trying To Break In. Hoping For General Guidance

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 11:06 AM PST

    So, I've just finished a pretty lengthy HTML and CSS course, and I'm about to move on to a similar length JavaScript course, with the end goal being that I'd like to get into web dev and completely change careers from what I'm currently doing, which is copywriting. I'm getting some practice in on websites for myself and friends, and I'm open to new opportunities like GitHub and whatever else, but I'll be honest and say that I'm really looking to get into a full-time job as soon as possible. I know this isn't some kind of carnival ride you can just get on at a moments notice, hence the last five months learning basic web dev and JavaScript to come, but I guess I'm just looking for advice on how to get into the industry as quick as possible. I'm not lazy, I'm just in a bit of a bad position right now and really need to change careers as soon as possible.

    TL; DR: desperate to change jobs and what I'm currently doing to web dev. Already have HTML and CSS under my belt. Moving onto JavaScript. What is the right path to working in this field as soon as possible?

    How much time did you spend learning in equivalent full-time hours (~40hrs per week) to get a job?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:09 PM PST

    For me it took equivalent of 1.5 years of full-time tutorials and side projects spread over about 3 years until I got my first job.

    Right now I've racked up about ~3 years of full time experience including professional and learning before getting a job.

    How about you guys?

    Angular Authentication with Passport.js?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 02:54 PM PST

    I'm reading a bunch of articles on Google on authentication with Angular and Passport.js, a lot of them such as this one https://www.sitepoint.com/user-authentication-mean-stack/ mention that we need JWT with Passport.js. The idea is to generate the jwt and store it in local storage, but i dont understand why we need to do this? Why do we need both JWT and Passport.js? If the user is logged in on the backend then a cookie/sessionID is sent back as a response.

    PSA: ES5 is over 10 years old. If you're still avoiding ES6 because it's not vanilla javascript, it's time to let it go.

    Converting SVG to Canvas for HTML5 Game (canvg)

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:34 PM PST

    Hey all, I've been working a game that uses SVG for graphics. The SVG element gets scaled up to fill the browser window and all of the elements are manipulated using Javascript by accessing their IDs and using the SVG specific transform attribute. I'm having a significant loss of performance on larger screens so I'm looking into converting it all into a <canvas> element using canvg but what I don't understand now is how to access all of the elements once it's been converted. If anyone is familiar with canvg or other solutions for converting SVG to canvas I'm all ears.

    Showcasing proprietary work for a resume/portfolio site.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 04:08 PM PST

    I've been doing some light contract work since I got out of school and am wanting move to an in house/office job. I have a couple projects with clients that have proprietary information or sensitive data that would be nice to showcase on a resume/portfolio site but I'm not sure what best practices are. I've created analytic dashboards and scheduling portals that use data that I wouldn't want to expose. Anyone have any ideas?

    Converting a web app to mobile app [Question]

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 11:40 AM PST

    Hello , I am comparatively new to web development and have only learnt basic express js based websites using ejs partials. I was looking to convert a web app I had made into a mobile app apk as I had seen multiple websites which did just that.
    As I have found out , The ejs format is incompatible to be converted to a mobile application . The given information stating my files were missing an "index.html"
    I presume this means that I cannot convert template based web apps into phone apps directly. I would like to ask how I would go about it ? and also what is the stack for websites of the required format which we are able to convert directly?

    Free page speed monitoring services?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:33 PM PST

    Jan 2019 thread about uptime monitoring listed:

    I figure might as well get page speed monitoring, not just uptime. Of the above 3, only Status Cake does page speed monitoring for free, with check interval 24 hours.

    Any other services? Uptime.com has a big article of 14 monitoring services, but doesn't narrow it down to page speed reports and free services.

    How does the architecture of a website w/ database connectivity generally look?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:29 PM PST

    I have a programming background in Python but have little familiarity with web development. I am interested in creating a website as a personal project but was wondering what the general architecture to a website is.

    I understand the big picture:

    • Frontend: html/css/js + frameworks/libaries
    • Backend: java/python + some database(s)

    What is the 'best' or most 'standard' architecture of a website today? Host the front end code on the cloud (azure/aws)? Is using python as a backend scalable or is it better to just stick to java in general? Where would the backend code be hosted and how does it connect to the frontend code?

    For example: let's say i choose to use react for the front end, python as backend connectivity to a sql database. First of all I don't even know if this stack is the 'most standard' or 'good'. But with this given stack, could someone explain where everything would go in a 'standard' modern day website architecture?

    Request: Answers to some very basic noob questions

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 06:08 AM PST

    Hi all, I'm about to dip my foot into web development because I want to make a simple online application. Besides some basic HTML and CSS I have never done anything in this direction. I have a domain which is linked to an old linux laptop on which I have an apache server to run the webpage, it is currently working (displaying the basic HTML file online), and I have a PHPMyAdmin page working as well.

    I need the website to have some buttons that change color when clicked, drag-and-drop orderable lists, and a database to send/store the input data.

    I think I know the following: HTML is the basic structure of the webpage, CSS can apply formatting to the HTML elements, JavaScript is a scripting language used for client-side/webpage changes, SQL is a database-language(?) to store data on the laptop that hosts the website, PHP is a scripting language for interacting between the SQL database and the website (feeding data into the database or retrieving and displaying data from the database).

    I however don't know how these things are connected to each other file-structure wise. I know that an HTML file can import a CSS file to apply visual changes, does javascript work the same way? And how are PHP functions called, also from the HTML file? And PHP functions, are they stored in a seperate file? Or are functions written directly into HTML?

    Is there some place that teaches the absolute basics in all subjects? Or maybe a simple example so I can see how each of these things interact with one another?

    I'm not looking to become an expert in HTML, an expert in CSS, and in JavaScript and PHP and SQL, I am only looking to learn the absolute basics of each of these points.

    Data don't show up in the ui after fetch

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 07:57 AM PST

    Hi,

    I want to fetch data from my api to display it on my site. The fetch function works but for some reson the fetched data is never displayed.

    Class ui

    static displayBooks() { let books = Store.getBooks(); //fetches the books from the api console.log(books); //prints: [{id: 1, value: "halllo"},{id: 2, value: "world"}] books.forEach((book) => UI.addBookToList(book)); //this line dont do anything like books is empty }

    class Store

    static getBooks() { let bookList; fetch("http://localhost:8080/books") .then(response => response.json()) .then(books => { books.forEach((book) => { bookList.push(new Book(book.id, book,value)); }) }) .catch(bookList = []); return bookList; }

    I tested the UI.addBookToList(book) with hardcoded values and it works properly so I have an error in my fetchingprocess I think.

    Is it somehow possible that the 3rd line in my displayBooks() function is called before the fetching is finished? If yes how can I avoid that?
