    How the hell would i create a basket and checkout system?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 03:38 AM PDT

    So I've had a full year in an internship so still kind of new to Web dev. How the hell would i create a checkout system?? I am using Umbraco as my CMS. I've got to a point where you can view the product but no basket or checkout. What's the best way? My research says that you can use cookies to store, or maybe download a plugin (pref free) that extends Umbraco. Let me know how you guys did it and what's the optimal way!

    Why does a new user have to provide a password?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 06:27 AM PDT

    When I register for a site, I find it a bit of a hassle to create a new password. It's especially annoying when I have to cater to the unique tastes of the site, whether they like my password or not.

    So I'm thinking of an onboarding flow like this:

    • User provides their email address
    • Site sends email containing a link with a hash
    • User clicks link to confirm the email address
    • Site looks up the hash, forwards to the login form, and auto-fills out the form with the email address and an auto-generated password
    • User can decide to click an eye icon 👁 to reveal the password in case they want to copy (Edit: or manually change) it,
    • Or they simply loginclick on Register, and let their browser manage the login credentials.

    The same email would get sent if the user loses their password (Edit: or if they get invited by another user).

    Is there any security concern that I'm overlooking?

    Edit: I don't want to do away with passwords, or force a safe password onto the user. My only concern is to provide a slightly smoother onboarding process. Enter email, click on the link, click Register, confirm browser's "Save credentials", done.

    How to implement a delete/restore system for a resource?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 09:06 AM PDT

    One of the requirements, on an API I'm working on, is to be able to delete a resource, say X, and have the ability to restore/undo the delete (similar to how you can delete branches on GitHub after merging a PR, but also have the option to restore). X is persisted in Postgres.

    What is an idiomatic way to implement this? Or point me somewhere. I googled for a fair bit. All I find is how to restore your data after an accidental delete query. One idea can be: having a separate deleted_X table and move it there. But this will require too much boilerplate code.

    Edit: the API is being built using Go

    Am I kidding myself thinking I can make a career of web dev?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 11:16 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I have quite a story so I'll try and keep it short and sweet. I am currently 26 and a Registered Nurse. I started studying this field right out of high school. I never explored other career options. Here I am at my 2 year mark of nursing and it is something I can't see myself continuing. I'm unhappy with the healthcare system and the way nurses are treated. This is where my search for an outlet began. My significant other works at an aerospace start up and I have met and spoken with many people that suggested I try to learn to code. I started in January, and have been coding daily ever since. I love it, it challenges my brain, I feel creative getting to create something, I use my critical thinking skills to solve problems. It's everything I could want in a career.

    Now that you kind of know my background which is very non technical besides the charting system, do you think I am being realistic by leaving the nursing field and pursuing software full time?

    What advice would you give someone with no background in tech trying to break into this industry? If it helps I live in SF Bay Area and know it is saturated here.

    I have bounced between going back to school and boot camps but it's hard to justify the cost, any input on degree vs bootcamp vs self taught?

    Sorry for such a long post I appreciate any insight!

    Building a low-volume email server in 2020?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 06:29 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I'm figuring out how to build a email server for (anonymous) email piping à la Craigslist.

    I've gathered some knowledge so far and would appreciate your thoughts.

    • SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the three most important standards to implement for trust. Are there other standards that I'm missing?
    • Reputation/trust is the most difficult hurdle to overcome for any domain that isn't top 500 or whatever. Is building an email server an exercise in futility? Am I effectively forced to choose an established email PaaS like SendGrid?

    Looking for a new project during the summer

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 01:22 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I'm a second year CS student and I'm working on my webdev skills just for fun. I made two web apps already (both drinking games) using django and (plain) javascript. I deployed these myself on my own server. these projects taught me a lot on using stuff like nginx, html, css, js and django.

    I'm now looking for a new project where I can develop new webdev skills. Do you guys have any idea what kind of new things I should try? What is an really usefull skill to develop?

    Thanks in advance!

    How Could I Improve Personal Website

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 08:18 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I think I finished my personal website for the most part. I used only Jquery HTML and CSS. I also used bootstrap. This is my first website that I have coded. Please note my resume is purposely not there at the moment because I am working on it.

    I was wondering your guys' thoughts on it and would appreciate all feedback.

    https://anthonyjdearmas.github.io/

    Edit: I know it's not as visually appealing as a typical web devs website, but I was going for a easy/straightforward design so someone in HR can spend 2 mins on the website and get a lot of info about me.

    Django as an authentication server

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 11:56 AM PDT

    I kept facing the same problem with Django projects. I had a common set of users for multiple projects. A friend recommended I use AWS Cognito to authenticate users, but it seemed absurd that Django couldn't act as an authentication/authorization server out-of-the-box. So I rolled out my own solution: https://github.com/pandichef/djangito

    I'd love to get some feedback on this and/or find contributors to help. Thanks!

    Would there be any point in making a SPA into PWA if it relied on live data?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 03:36 PM PDT

    If you don't know what I mean, as an extreme example, would there be any benefit to making google.com a PWA?

    Related question: would a SPA need to use a service worker even though it can directly access storage itself? Would there be any benefit?

    One more related question: Would service worker caching of SPA assets be of any benefit, even of the app bundle itself? I'm sure the browser caches that stuff anyway.

    Are web components just not usable with <input /> for creating custom inputs?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    Google seems intent on being unhelpful and suggesting blogs on react or angular when searching for web components / custom elements.

    Despite following what little documentation I found ({extends:'input'} in options on customElements.define(...) and using is="file-preview", <input /> refuses to render either shadowDOM or child elements. Are they just a lost cause?

    I was able to get what I wanted by just using a fully (not inheriting) custom element and avoiding the shadowDOM so that the form picked up an input the custom element spawns, but that feels icky as anything outside of the element can mess with those child elements.

    Help understanding Udemy's API

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 03:22 PM PDT

    Hi everyone - sorry for the very basic questions but I've spent the afternoon attempting to make sense of Udemy's API's. I have both a client ID and client secret but seem to be missing how I wire these up in my javascript code.

    The instructions point to two curl commands that take the client ID & secret and I'm supposed to pass these credentials within every call but they need to be passed as base64 encoded.

    I'd welcome an explanation of how the Udemy API works, but I'd really value some example code that can point me in the right direction.

    I've also played around with Postman and can successfully query the code and it auto-generates my authorization token. But I'd like to better understand how I pass these creds in my code and handle the base64 encoding in my code rather than pass the Authorization token (in a creds file, of course).

    Imagine trying to search on Udemy API help - I get a lot of Udemy courses on APIs but no content on how to actually use the Udemy API.

    Thanks.

    Code Snippet Boxes for Website

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 03:03 PM PDT

    I'm authoring a documentation website and I'd like to add a few boxes with code snippets/examples. If possible, I'd also like to have the option to have a menu/button to switch the language the example is written in.

    Are there any HTML/CSS tools available that can help me accomplish this? I'm using Jekyll to generate a static site, so hopefully there is something that will work in my situation.

    Headless CMS like Directus/Strapi/.. but markdown output

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 01:38 PM PDT

    tl;dr: searching for headless cms that dumps to .md files (with e.g. pre-defined folder locations) and has a user wysiwyg markdown editor.

    ----

    I've tried to scour the deep ends of headless cms' and they all dump either to mysql/api/graphql or something alike, is there any simple solution where I can add fields similar to strapi/directus (even if only via some sort of config) and have a dashboard for the user, while simply pushing to either github repo or literally local folders I tell it to?

    I'm trying to plug something very simple on top of 11ty to just put markdown files into e.g. a folder "blogs", without having to connect 11ty during build-time to bunch of endpoints/api/graphql/..

    Netlify CMS sounds from docs somewhat like that, but it's overly complex and poorly documented for the actual deploy, so I would have to first deploy it and see if it works - until then maybe somebody has a better solution to this or used netlify cms and can spare me the hours of tinkering?

    Thank you!

    Why aren't "Privacy by default" top level domains more popular?

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 07:37 AM PDT

    I want to register a domain for a personal website, but was surprised, when reading the terms and conditions on the registrar I had chosen. They say they will make information I entered for registration available via WHOIS and expect me to "waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or use of such information".

    I had never heard about WHOIS before and upon research found, that it's a somewhat common concern and that many registrars offer some sort of privacy protection in the WHOIS entry. I also came across the Wikipedia page on "Domain privacy", where I learned that there are "privacy by default" top-level domains (TLD), like .gr and .al which supposedly don't reveal any WHOIS info at all.

    To me, a noob on this topic, it seems like choosing a "privacy by default" TLD would then be the safest choice and am now wondering why these TLDs aren't more popular. I guess my question comes down to this:

    Is there any technical aspect, making TLDs like .gr more privacy friendly by design, something which e.g. epik.com or namesilo.com could not offer? Would I still have to be careful when selecting a .gr registrar, or is it technically impossible for them to offer a WHOIS entry for my registration?

    I have decent knowledge of NodeJs and Express and wish to learn Django, I know intermediate python.

    Posted: 28 Jun 2020 12:59 PM PDT

    How much time do you reckon it'll take? I am doing Corey Schafer at the moment, it's really amazing. For some reason, I find Django format for defining urls and rendering the view pages more better and Intuitive.

    I read that Django is more secure, is that by default or do we need to add packages like csurf in NodeJs.

    Where does Django lack in comparison to Express?
