    Weekly Challenge - Temporarily on hold web developers


    Weekly Challenge - Temporarily on hold

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 03:48 PM PDT

    Hi all. Bad news in that I need to put the weekly challenge on hold for a bit.

    I am the mod that organizes and runs these challenges and I was out of commission for a few days (actual flu). Now due to the current pandemic, I have been called up for National Guard service and I did not have the time to finish organizing it for this week. There is a bit of behind the scenes work needed with organizing these challenges so I will get a new one up as soon as I am in a position to do so. Keep an eye out for a sticky when the new one is posted. Thank you!

    Last weeks winner: EAJakobsen : https://codepen.io/EAjakobsen/pen/RwPQVjX

    Congratulations!

    If you are a webdev, keep pushing!

    Has anyone lost interest in web as a developer?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 05:53 AM PDT

    I'm a web developer, I mostly do PHP and Vue, been doing this for over 8 years now.

    Since recently I started getting anxious at work, I started working less, fiddling around on the internet more and more and now it's reached a peak where I have trouble finding any motivation.

    If I think about it, I don't even really care about php any more, upgrading an internal package, fixing a few bugs on a website I don't even like that much. Has anyone been in a situation like this? Did you change careers or found a way to find new love with your current job?

    I made a small javascript library that allows you to animate html as text and rendered html simultaneously!

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 05:54 AM PDT

    Hey guys, couldn't be more excited to post here today! Yesterday I finished my small JS library that I am going to use in my about me/portfolio website.

     

    The library is called markupwriter and it's a javascript library that lets you animate your html code as text and render it at the same time, just as you were writing it live.

     

    Example usage of library: piotrwawrzyn.github.io/mwexample

    Repo: github.com/piotrwawrzyn/markupwriter

     

    I would love to hear your feedback guys!

    How do you handle “What can you do to improve it?” question?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 02:36 PM PDT

    To give some context, we are basically WFH for the next two weeks and we have to pair with 4-5 people to work on tickets.

    Having this many people is an absolute chaos and there are few people who just talk over everyone and push their ideas without consulting others, which results in not everyone being on the same page.

    I have raised the problem with my team and I got the counter question "What can you do to make it better?". Raised the same problem with my manager and got the same question. Raised with our team leader, got the same question.

    I just got really frustrated because I wanted to see what other people think and if we can work together as a team to resolve it. Also I was hoping my manager to give me an advice but he was next to useless. Conversation with team leader was the same.

    I feel like this is the ultimate reverse uno card if you wish and it automatically shifts the blame like "you solve it, its your problem". I feel like this is literally the type of question you ask someone when you couldn't care less and shift the responsibility.

    If I knew what to do, I wouldn't ask my team and manager for input, it is very frustrating.

    Have you been asked the same question before and if so, how did you handle it?

    Have you been laid off?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 01:19 PM PDT

    I got hired as a contractor by a big airline company and was going to start on monday, I had to move to another state in my home country but you can guess what happened

    If you're a tech worker, have you been laid off or do you expect to be laid off soon? If you are a hiring manager, what is the current hiring status at your company?

    Airform - Functional HTML forms for Front-End Developers

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 04:27 AM PDT

    Webhost, Free domain, but no webmail just a forwarder?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 01:33 PM PDT

    I'm not sure if its the right subreddit or not, I'll try to post it anyways, a mod will delete/move it if thinks it's not right.

    So the thing is that:

    I registered a free web host, and then a free custom domain name (.cf). I can have "emails" attached to the website, but it's not an actual email. It's just a forwarder that forwards the emails to my Gmail account.

    If I have the domain (example.cf) and I want to have a custom email, like webmail, not just a forwarder ([someone@example.cf](mailto:someone@example.cf)), where Can I get it for free?

    People told me there is no chance to get a web host and a custom domain for free, I asked others, "surfed the net" for 4 hours and got both of them, now I want to ask the same about the webmail.

    Any ideas, suggestions?

    How to create an accordion hover effect with box-shadows

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 05:14 AM PDT

    How would you build this?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 01:44 AM PDT

    Hiya, startup guy here that's testing an idea. I'm looking to build a MVP's frontend.

    The basic idea is that the site is selling one product (a service) that is fulfilled manually.

    I want customers to visit the site, be able to submit their info and pay for a subscription, then be able to manage the basics of their subscription. Cancel, change payment info etc. Checkout with Stripe preferred.

    I'm looking for a CMS to build this with, as I'm not a talented dev and we're a one man show I was initially going to use Shopify, but then took a look at Wordpress for it's flexibility. I'd have to use Woocommerce Subscriptions which is a $100 plugin.

    I'm now asking for suggestions on what would be the best CMS (bootstrap?) to set up quickly. If I was using an HTML template I could likely hack it together myself.

    Apologies if this is a mess. I'll add more info if it's needed.

    EDIT: Shopify is seeming more viable, but I'd like to possibly skip the cart option as we're essentially selling a digital service.

    Can I create a HTML element that ignores the CSS outside of it?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 08:22 AM PDT

    I'm writing a browser extension that adds an element in various pages. The pages have CSS. I want the page CSS not to influence my element's CSS. How can I do this?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 10:50 AM PDT

    Hey guys!

    In trying to do my part to help, I've developed a public API to easily fetch the latest info from Johns Hopkins.

    API: https://810bc97fd4.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/cases

    Required Query Params

    • status
      • Confirmed
      • Deaths
      • Recovered

    Optional Query Params

    • country
      • Any country name (case sensitive)

    Example request: https://810bc97fd4.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/cases?status=Confirmed&country=France

    Please be nice to me and cache the data locally so I don't pay too much :)!

    Improvement ideas and suggestions are warmly welcome!

    Freelance Web Development Inquiries

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 04:09 PM PDT

    Background: I am currently a 3rd year university student studying computer science and mathematics. Due to the current COVID panic in the U.S., my internship fell through. Aside from this news being extremely heartbreaking, it has forced me into a state of panic in terms of a job for the summer. The last thing I want to do is brush off my old 'non-programming' resume from freshman year to find some minimum wage job -- I have worked way too hard on personal projects, learning new skills, and school to work a non-cs related job at this point (I realize this may seem like I feel overly entitled, but I have dedicated most of my free time the last few years to growing my skills to ensure I can get a job in this field). Anyways, I have been working on projects for the last two years related to web development. I currently have about 2 years of experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and a little over a year of experience with React, Node/Express, and MongoDB. Due to my background, my best bet at this point is to find freelance work for the summer in order to pay my bills and eat.

    I am really composing this post to ask for tips for pursuing freelance web development work. I am willing to do anything to ensure that I can spend the summer working on projects that I actually enjoy and that relate to my field. Any tips and advice is appreciated and welcome! Thank you all from a college student that is starving for work.

    New Dev: I really like Google Material Icons, but am having trouble finding alternatives

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    I'm a new web dev, primarily learning ruby on rails and firebase these days.

    Every time I start a new project I'm thinking about how I want it to look. Icon usage factors heavily into that, and I love that there are free assets out there for people to use. Google's material icons have been great at letting me design rapidly without getting bogged down in making/altering assets to fit my own needs.

    But that got me thinking: there must be other icon sets out there that I can use in the same very simple way (like a font). But most of what I've found has wanted me to download sets of 30,000!

    So, other than Google (and I think Bootstrap?) are there other similar products out there? And if not, what are your favorite icon sets anyway?

    Thanks!

    Implementation of Article Paywalls

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 03:44 PM PDT

    Implementation of Article Paywalls

    https://preview.redd.it/ytbl6nerein41.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=53d67778cfd4713f2d117c4d8fe329fe7de6bf31

    Can we please talk about the implementation of article paywalls? So many websites just have the content for everyone to see and not have it authentication based. It just makes me so mad to see this!

    I can understand paywalls being a thing, even if they are annoying, but this is ridiculous. If you're going to implement it, do it right!

    Subpages in a Website?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 03:15 PM PDT

    Hi,

    Being new to web development, I recently found out that websites can consist of subpages, such as www.example.com as the homepage, and www.example.com/contact.html, for a contact page for example. But I've been finding that some websites have www.example.com/contact/ as the subpage for the website, and I just wanted to know how this works? I understand that to make subpages, you would create the html file for the subpage, but how does it appear as /contact/ and not as contact.html?

    Project ideas during quarantine...

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 02:48 PM PDT

    Anyone got any side project ideas I can work on during the quarantine? I just found out I might be out of school for more than a month, and my weed is running out... so I decided I would get myself back into programming/webdev. I just need some fun project ideas, also open to a little challenging things.

    How to dig deeper using Chrome Developer Tools?

    Posted: 18 Mar 2020 01:28 PM PDT

    I often look at other websites for ideas on what and how to create things, but often things are buried under layers of abstraction. For example, I found this amazing article on The Washington Post which has several simulations of how epidemics spread.

    I was curious how these simulation widgets worked, but viewing them with "inspect element" only reveals their DIV tags and "save as" only reveals an image file.

    I explored the "sources" tab in Chrome's Developer Tools, and found many of the source files like static images and tons of obfuscated javascript.

    Is there any way to dig in the right place, for example, to see what kind of thing is being displayed? A way to open it in a new tab for example and only display one of the simulations? Are there any guides to learning how to properly dig through abstraction layers using inspect element?

    I am asking this using the Washington Post article as an example, but I regularly find website widgets that I would love to find how they work. Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
