    Need help in building a manga site

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:00 PM PDT

    First I have a weak background in web development and need your advice. My brother and his friends want to create a manga hosting site to host all their work. They are already showing mangas and webtoon that they made on Instagram, pixiv, webtoons and twitter. However, they like to have all their work in a single site that they control with organization into series and chapters with a web reader. They also plan to put advertisement and monetize later. They wanted to create and app for PC, iOS and Android. something like webtoons.combut I talked them to start with a mobile responsive site. They can later upgrade to a hybrid mobile app.

    1. My first solution was to use MEAN, MEVN or MERV. However, we will need to hire a professional to build it and we don't know how much it will cost. They claim that they will be making the money back.

    2. My second solution was to use wordpress. It is a simpler cheaper solution. They can start with it and if he and his friend are successful in getting large traffic. They can upgrade to the first solution. I looked for wordpress manga sites and found multiple themes. This theme appear to have what they want like the web reader.

    My questions

    1. What do you think about my solutions?
    2. Is there a third solution that I did not think about?
    3. What is the best technology that you recommend?
    4. what is the best hosting sites for manga site that serve mainly images?I was thinking about AWS.

    Question about dealing with criticism/feedback at work

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:36 AM PDT

    I work for an agency as a developer, there are separate designers and project managers who basically feed me development tasks. Every time I send off a finished website or app for review, getting critisism or feedback from the boss, coworkers or clients is something I've always struggled to respond to in a way that doesnt make me one of the following: look super defensive, like I'm pointing blame to someone else, or like it's all my fault.

    I don't mean I'm telling them "go away it's perfect" but most of the time it's related to something I had absolutely no choice over such as design, or a feature that wasn't specifically included in the original specification so I didn't add it.

    The most obvious and best response is just to say "yes I can change/add/remove that" but it means I'm agreeing on the extra time needed to add or change that feature and it always feels like I'm personally responsible for it not being "correct" to begin with!

    I have tried saying "Well, that wasn't included in the original specification but it's possible" which I've had bad responses to before because it feels like I'm blaming my colleges or making the company look stingy by not making a "small change" that was not in the spec, and pointing it out makes me feel like a dick.

    This isn't necessarily about blatant bugs which I'll always take blame for, more like client not being happy with how something specific works or looks and I start to feel like a failure when it's just change after change and fix after fix for stuff I wouldn't have done in the first place. Am i alone?

    How to get out of agency life?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:50 AM PDT

    Hi

    I'm looking for advice on getting out of digital agencies. I've been working about 2.5 years in 2 different agencies. The first one was awful, the current one is alot better.

    I contracted at a "tech" company last year who were a client of the agency, and it was fantastic. I loved the process of continually building a product.

    I'm sick of the tight deadlines, different tech stacks for each project, lack of documentation and the expectations that you should be able to work with every language, cloud platforms etc and get working projects from it.

    Does anyone have any advice for moving to a tech company?

    How to optimize image load times?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    I already use ImageOptim ( and love it <3 ), use CloudFront as my CDN, and serve images in smaller sizes, but my ventures into figuring out WebP tend to be unsuccessful. Any tips on WebP or any other way of speeding up image load times?

    Cookie Compliance in US

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:20 AM PDT

    The marketing agency I develop for just got an email from go daddy saying sites need to be republished with their new automatic cookie notice & compliance banner.

    This is just for their template web builder clients, but now my boss is considering adding this to our development pipeline, and otherwise adding it to several sites we've recently launched.

    We're both kind of confused as to what satisfies the terms of the law, and where they even apply. We're in Indiana. Up until recently, cookie opt out was a strictly European requirement, and US sites only needed to comply if a significant portion of their users we're in the EU. Now I think California just signed a similar law, and... Yeah. That's where we're at.

    • We have a working cookie notice banner that users can comply with and dismiss
    • Is it necessary to provide an opt out option, and if so,
    • do we need to script all of our cookie integrations to stop on opt out (as opposed to just tracking, like Google analytics. We use a cookie to prevent duplicate contact form submission and it'd be very inconvenient to script around)

    Any clarification would be appreciated.

    No good project ideas

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 04:05 PM PDT

    Hello,

    I am self teaching myself webdev and I'm currently learning Node and also trying to think of a project to show that I know RESTful routing, but every idea I can think of sounds too basic? Things like blogs or shops seem like a really basic idea and I'm not sure if it can land me an interview.

    Does anyone have any ideas on a good project I should code to show RESTful routes?

    Where do companies like Best Buy, B&H, Newegg, etc. get their databases from? Is there a place I can acquire a database containing a companies SKUs with images and descriptions?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 04:02 PM PDT

    For instance, if I wanted to build an online electronics store or a review site, how would I aggregate all the information on all the Dell monitors that are currently being sold? Name, specs, photos, etc.

    Do the companies provide an API? Is there a service that provides that info?

    Using UUIDs instead of auto-incrementing ID integers as primary keys -- bad database design?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 04:14 AM PDT

    I'm writing up a database (MySQL MariaDB) for a standard CRUD site and have an idea to use UUIDs instead of auto-incrementing integers as the primary key. So one table looks like this:

    CREATE TABLE threads ( uuid CHAR(36) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, title TEXT NOT NULL, description TEXT DEFAULT NULL, authorUuid CHAR(36) NOT NULL, createdOn DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, modifiedOn DATETIME DEFAULT NULL, FOREIGN KEY authorUuid REFERENCES users (uuid) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE )

    Are there any pitfalls or potential mishaps down the line to using UUIDs instead of integer IDs as the primary key across multiple tables? Cheers /r/webdev

    How to access Request headers clientside?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:34 AM PDT

    I want to access the request headers in my client (browser) but can't figure out how to do it?
    I am initiating the request with XMLHttpRequest; the xhr instance that I have created allows me to access the response headers via getAllResponseHeaders() but it only contains the response headers as the method suggests. Is there any way of accessing the request headers via javascript in the browser? In particular, I want the Content-Length information from the request (The request body size actually).
    Any help will be appreciated.

    I see a lot of people moving from Wordpress work to software dev, but have any experienced software devs gone the other way around and moved to Wordpress work?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 02:23 AM PDT

    I'm wondering if the experience of working as a full software dev made you a better than average wordpress dev i.e. could optimize and customize things that most couldn't.

    ​

    Personally, if it's is an avenue to more opportunities I may consider such a move.

    Websites similar to Frontendmentor?

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:11 AM PDT

    The website basically provides you with a file of assets that you then use to turn into an actual website, was wondering if there are any similar websites as I wasn't able to find any. Looking for landing pages specifically and not components.

    Thank you!

    I thought I was getting alright with frontend CSS and layouts... then I had to work on emails.

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 04:33 PM PDT

    If you've never had to create an email template and had a product manager who wants it to look identical and flawless on ALL EMAIL CLIENTS, then I envy you.

    Of course, the design that product team came up with is all fancy with lots of text in a clean neat layout with pixel perfect padding and crap. Alas, the more complicated the design is, the harder it is to make it look right everywhere.

    I had no idea how lawless and confusing email clients are when it comes to rendering stuff. Outlook is by far the worst offender, since it uses the Microsoft Word rendering engine (!!??). Thankfully, https://buttons.cm/ helped a ton at least for the buttons.

    The general solution is to rely on tables. Lots of table. Tables within tables within tables. I don't think I've actually created an HTML table in the last 3 years until I started doing email stuff. Now I can't get away from them.

    There are also these things called conditional comments that will render in only Outlook.

    <!--[if mso]> <br/> <![endif]-->

    These are great because Outlook ignores most margins. So when you need to insert a space between elements, and margin-bottom is being ignored you can use this.

    I look forward to the day when MS decides to join the rest of the world with sensible rendering scheme. Of course, that still won't solve why Yahoo mail on Explorer ignores most of my padding but Yahoo mail on Chrome doesn't. But one problem at a time I guess.

    Should I get into Python

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 08:29 AM PDT

    For context, I've been learning Svelte js, and I've been getting interested in A.I and Machine learning and I kinda think that is were the future is heading or rather where I think that job market will be in demand for.

    Even if it isn't there is Django which I could always fall back on, would this be a good idea?
