    COVID-19 Hack Project: Tracking Ventilator Need (needs volunteers)

    Posted: 22 Mar 2020 06:24 PM PDT

    There was a New York Times Op-Ed today that called on tech companies to deal with the coming shortage of ventilators by building a website that can track hospital supply and demand.

    There is now a Github project running where programmers are trying to tackle this problem. They are looking for:
    - UI Developers
    - API Developers
    - Database Developers
    - Registry of hospitals and their addresses, web domains

    Github repo is up at https://github.com/openventilatorregistry/OpenVentilatorRegistry

    This would affect all of us.

    I'm a moderator of r/crowdsourcedmedical. We're a sub helping to develop 3D printable files for doctors. They're running out of many simple, plastic parts that they rely on, to fight COVID-19. We have a number of dev teams working on our site and I need devs for the Backend!

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 04:05 PM PDT

    We are still actively working on developing a DB diagram for the site and once we have that, we are going to implement the appropriate models and get those into the DB. Then we are going to work hard on getting the endpoints working so the front-end developers can start working with data and ensuring that it all works as it is supposed to. This is just a brief overview of what we are doing so you have an idea of what we are working on before coming on-board.

    The skills I am looking for, though not required are:

    • Python 3.7+ experience, especially with type hinting
    • SQLAlchemy experience
    • RESTful API experience or knowledge of the concepts with FastAPI experience preferred
    • Willingness to learn, try your best, and problem solve issues without giving up
    • Basic understanding of Databases and creating relationships between tables (this will be done in SQLAlchemy)

    If you think you can help out, even if you have never touched any of this before, please let us know! Some of these concepts are not terribly difficult to learn and would require a few hours of playing around with the code to get an idea of how things work in addition to reading up on the docs for FastAPI.

    You can view FastAPI here: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/features/ I look forward to working with you and thank you for any help or assistance you can provide to help get this project off the ground.

    Please take a look at the pinned post for onboarding instructions and how to get started. Thank you!

    How would I add this feature to a website?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:05 PM PDT

    Hi 👋🏻

    I'm a personal assistant to a businesswoman who runs her own company, and since I'm an aspiring web developer, she often asks me to help her out with the company website.

    She wants to add a feature to the website that lets users search for a product and then see what our price is for that product. An example of this would be something like what you see on HoneyBeeHealth.com or BlinkHealth.com.

    I'm still very early into my web dev career and haven't gotten into much more than HTML/CSS/JS. So I'm not sure where I can find this type of feature for her website.

    From digging around the source code of HoneyBeeHealth I've found that they use Sphinx Search Ultimate to power their price search tool (I think), but that's around $249 and I wanna see what other options are out there.

    Am I looking for an API? An extension or plugin? What would I google? Do I need to make a database? How much work would this take, or is it as simple as copying and pasting a code?

    Sorry for a rudimentary question. I appreciate any help.

    For context she uses SpaceCraft to build her website and Digital Pharmacist to manage it.

    Potentially great freelance opportunity, not sure how to approach.

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:49 PM PDT

    I contacted a large local print shop in my area, been around for about 30 years. I emailed to see if they have any web design / development work come in. They most certainly do, but have no one to do it.

    After lengthy emails, he put out an offer to me. It goes as follows..

    He's offering:

    • Sending leads he gets off to me. I handle all client management / communication.
    • He wants me to design a post card that he can put into circulation with his customers, plus something he can put up in his office for walk-ins to look at.
    • A desk available for a formal meeting place with clients (nice to have, don't actually need).

    In return, he wants me to:

    • Design and build their new website, for free - he says this is non-negotiable. It's a 20ish page website, in WordPress. No crazy functionality.
    • He wants a kickback percentage for all leads (I'm assuming leads that actually sign with me). Percentage TBD.

    So, I have a potentially great opportunity here. A steady flow of work. I can deal with a finder's fee, that's no problem. I'm having a problem with designing and building him a free website, though.

    Why? Because..

    • Halfway through, or 90% of the way through, he can just say "Eh, nvm. Don't want it". And that's that. Just wasted mass amounts of time.
    • He could abuse the free website offering with months upon months of revisions, harass me with phone calls or emails every two seconds, etc.
    • I could build the website for him, and then he could send me zero leads. Or send them somewhere else. Or he doesn't get any leads at all.

    How should I approach this in a professional manner, that's fair to both of our ends of the agreement? Also, what else should I clarify?

    I want this to work out, but I also want things to be equal.

    How do you document you Integrations and APIs for others?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:44 PM PDT

    I need to write some documentation for our integrations and APIs at work and I can't seem to find many tools around that are:

    • Not $400 per month (ReadMe.io)
    • Doesn't require an `npm install` and a server
    • Don't look like someone developed the design in 2007

    What do other devs/product managers here use?

    Can someone explain how software interaction with a website works?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:39 PM PDT

    Every 6 months i learn a new skill and then spend 6 months honing that skill. My last skill was welding, before that was carpentry. I decided this time i really wanted to step out of my comfort zone and learn how websites are made. Im currently in my learning phase and there is one relationship im struggling to understand. WordPress is a CMS software, Vplayed seems to have CMS properties but calls itself an OTT software, or even xstreamer which is an adult-site software that is a mix of both but offers no hosting whatsoever. Which is my point they offer a software only... I'm still beginning so here is my hang up and im sorry if it seems stupid. But how does one write a software that interacts with a website like that? I cannot understand how someone would install that software. See when you do it on your computer it is download/insert disc-->run-->etc. But websites to my knowledge dont have that, they are just on a server. So when someone buys this software im at a loss at how they install it on their site. It is just something that is tripping me up during these initial phases of learning.

    403 error with this minimal Flask app using mod_wsgi

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:11 PM PDT

    I followed this guide https://www.codementor.io/@abhishake/minimal-apache-configuration-for-deploying-a-flask-app-ubuntu-18-04-phu50a7ft because I wanted to start developing my app and it's deployed on 80 or whatever port, but on apache2. My thinking was to start with this and expand on it.

    I'm runnung ubuntu 18.04 with python3 version 3.6.9 on ARM platform if that makes a difference.

    I have everything they way he did it, but with my own app names for the file names.

    All I am getting on the 192.168.1.10 is a Forbidden error, so permissions I guess, but not sure where or what. I changed the ~/appname folder to 777 recursively for testing, but still nothing. (777 is fine here at the moment, as it's all local dev and testing)

    I must be missing something.

    How long did it take you to become a decent web developer?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 09:13 AM PDT

    I'm starting a coding bootcamp next month and am wondering how long it takes most people to reach a point where they're confident enough that they're decent at web development and feel as if they're pretty good now.

    I understand everybody's timeframe will vary but just looking to see what responses say

    Best back-end web dev jobs without cloud services (where I can learn cloud later on)?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:10 PM PDT

    Been in the freelance game for a while and just kind of tired trying to find clients, it's really not for me. So I'm trying to get back to do full-time work. I am looking for a job in back end web developement but it's been harder now because most FT roles expect you to have cloud experience.

    I'm good with back end PHP or Javascript with either MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, with ORM on top. My past jobs and freelance clients all had stacks that are pre-Docker, pre-Kubernetes monoliths with a standard 3-tier LAMP or MERN stack. I guess their slow demand for more internet services hasn't compelled them to move to the cloud. I want to move beyond agencies, though. What other companies will let me learn the cloud skills on the side while I work?

    Freelancers, how do you collect payments

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 10:58 AM PDT

    My freelancing work has been picking up recently so I need to find a better way of collecting payments.

    I currently invoice using Wave which connects to my Stripe account. Only problem here is because I've set Wave's primary currency to GBP, I can't invoice and collect payments in USD, CAD etc.

    Directly in Stripe, I also can't find a way to generate a payment link without generating a second invoice and setting up a new customer for each client.

    PayPal is practically useless since they lock every payment for 21 days because it's not a physical product delivery.

    Is there a more seamless, preferably free, way for me to collect payments?

    I say "free" because freelancing's a total side gig for me so it wouldn't be worth paying large amounts for what's often only a couple hundred each month.

    Looking for a good static site generator with i18n support (and not React based)

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 10:50 AM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I'm looking to get away from Hugo as I just can't stand Go template syntax. I'm looking for a Static Site Generator, but so far I can't find one that has good i18n support (I like the fact that you can just use *.fr.md in Hugo to get a direct link from translated content).

    What would be your generator of choice? Oh, and I'm a Vue dev, I don't know React. :)

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    CMS for my agency

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 04:47 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I work at an agency and they want me to develop their new website.

    It won't be a regular updated one - maybe a news/blog page - but should be fairly easy to handle in the future in case I will get fired or I quit :D

    We have no big requirements, just a easy way to display our values, people, projects, and so on..

    I would like to code it myself, as we won't require any big complex functions, and I'm not much of a developer, though I can get things through, and I'm eager to learn a simple CMS that I can use for future projects too (similar complexity projects).

    I read of Jekyll but would like to ask for other possibilities. I've used Wordpress, but I'd like something where I can code my website from scratch, or from basic themes, avoid useless overload of JS scripts and such...

    If I didnt give enough details I'm sorry and feel free to ask - but if you can already help, thanks a lot :)

    Prototype video straming website

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 02:20 PM PDT

    Hello everyone !

    For a school project ,I have to create a protoype version of a basic video streaming website which could stream videos either from a server (personal , Apache for example) or cloud storage , one of the use case examples would be a school keeping all the video files on a platform (cloud for example) and could easely access the stored videos on a basic website , so they wouldn't have to keep the files on a seperate computers and could easily and quickly access them. As a lot of this is new for me , I wanted to know if , something like this would be best developed using , for example , Shaka player or are there easier methods of doing this ? Also , would , for testing purposes the video files would be best streamed from cloud or my own server (Apache) for example ? Thanks in advance ! :)

    Is running Vagrant (or any VM) on Windows just a bad idea?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 02:15 PM PDT

    EDIT: If anyone sees this, I was having issues because I did not open my Powershell as Administrator on Windows when starting Vagrant. I still am considering a more proper development environment though.

    ORIGINAL POST: I've been asked to write front-end code for a back-end node.js application. They want me to run the node.js application locally and then write a front-end interface which interacts with the node.js application. The problem is, I spent a whole day getting the node.js application to run because I don't have access to a suitable Linux web server environment.

    I tried it first locally on my Windows 8.1 machine with nvm-windows, but kept running into problems. I then tried it on my Linux shared host, and I got as far as running the application, but couldn't route requests to the port the application specified, so got stuck there. Lastly, I turned to Vagrant to install a virtual host. I finally got the application running in Vagrant, but it took me almost half a day to get Vagrant configured properly to run the node.js application, and I am still constantly running into issues/conflicts with a "virtual Linux environment on Windows", most notably symlink conflicts.

    It feels as though I'm going to keep running into issues at every turn trying to do this on Windows, and will spend the majority of my time resolving Windows-specific problems when the none of this is going to end up on Windows anyway. So my question is two-fold:

    • Should I give up using Vagrant on Windows because it's not a great web environment (despite the virtual machines)?
    • What would be the cheapest and easiest way to get access to a suitable environment?

    Thanks!

    Front end GUI for Java project

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:49 PM PDT

    I have a simple java "calculator" project which I would like to deploy in a website. I am debating if should I use swing or JavaFx with JSP or use html/CSS/JS for creating GUI.
    For the application itself user would be able to input numbers and get results(This functionality is implemented already in Java).
    What would be a better way to get the GUI done?
    I am not a front end developer and doing this so project for productivity. Any help would be appreciated.

    PS: I know I can write a simple calculator app by just using html/CSS and JS but Im stubbornly trying to use Java for learning purpose.

    Question about using a headless CMS (Wordpress & React)

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:13 PM PDT

    At work we're talking about going down the react/Wordpress route for a client..I understand how to fetch data from the backend of Wordpress using the API.. but what about the other way around? How can we add data to the backend remotely? For example adding/deleting posts with ACF fields through the front end.. is this done by passing data to remote PHP files?

    Does there exist a site to search for all available expired domains of specific extension and length?

    Posted: 23 Mar 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    I would love to own a 3-character(letter only) .NET domain name but as we all know they have all been registered. Just wondering if a service exists that will allow me to select 3-character(letter only) domains with a .NET extension and it provide me with a list of all expired ones that are available to register.

    Most websites I tried would go through every possible combination of 3-character domains but wouldn't give me the option to show only available ones which have expired.
