    Want to learn CSS and have gone through basic tutorials, but when I view real sites' CSS files, they look extremely long and complicated

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 09:45 AM PDT

    Some with crazy numbers like X.33333333 or .999999 (%). I want to make something custom and minimistically-professional for commercial reasons without having to credit any framework or template in the footer, and I wonder why simple and cliche-looking templates on free CSS template pages have entire novels of CSS attached to them. Should I just use a framework and give credit even if it'd look cheap, since I don't know if it's worth the time to reinvent the wheel?

    Is there any way to "port" WordPress over to MEAN stack?

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 03:37 PM PDT

    So I am thinking of switching website technologies midway through development - if only because I have pretty big ambitions for my site. And because MEAN stack is supposed to be "better" than WP.

    Is there any way to port the work already carried out on WP over to MEAN stack (or a "better" technology site)?

    Out of touch

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 06:37 AM PDT

    A bit of background: I've been working as a visual designer for the web and iOS for the past 10 years (UI design, UX etc.), maybe even more. The last time I put together a website I was still using Bootstrap, jQuery and writhing HTML and CSS by hand. A few times created a couple of WP themes. I'm quite comfortable doing so, and I think there's nothing wrong with a plain HTML for basic sites.

    However, I've been leaning more towards the web as of lately due to some clients requiring projects. I'm completely out of touch. Does no one even write HTML anymore? I feel like a caveman. Everything seems so complicated, even for the most basic tasks. A single page website now seems to need a whole bunch of frameworks, generators, static server less thingamajigs, etc.

    It appears there's no standard way of doing things anymore, and I don't know how to update my skills. React? Vue? Angular? Vanilla JS? there's also a gazillion static-site generators, template engines, CSS-frameworks. Then there's Node.js, NPM, Rust. The list goes on. Everything has millions of dependencies, and a simple website now requieres a complex hierarchy of hundreds of tiny files.

    I think I became a beginner once again, everything I used to know it's now useless. I feel like a mathematician working on a blackboard while everyone else is using ML to automate algorithms in two clicks.

    Anyway. I think I'm just venting my frustrations.

    Is there a way to populate text in browser search from an onClick function?

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 01:53 PM PDT

    I tried searching for this online but fear I might not be asking the question correctly. Is there a way to add a button to my website that, when clicked, populates a pre-written text into the users search bar? I don't want it to open a new tab with googlesearchquery=prewrittentext, I want it to just replace the text in their current search bar. If the user chooses to hit enter or not, is up to them.

    Thanks for any advice.

    • Context of the problem: Experimentation for now, but I do freelance SEO and run a blog where I want to help educate people on how search works.
    • Research you have completed prior to requesting assistance: searched through stack overflow and this sub for similar questions.
    • Problem you are attempting to solve with high specificity: its purely experimental for now, but my use case is for an SEO service I manage that suggests keywords and relevant search topics for different categories. I want to educate the nature of "searching" for topics, for my customers who are new to SEO.

    Unsure on what to do. Need advice.

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 05:32 AM PDT

    I have just recently finished a HnD (Level 5) and am looking to go into web development. There are a few jobs going around by me, however with the recent situation it is pretty limited. There is also a few apprenticeships going but am I unsure on whether or not to go for them, as I feel as if it would be taking a step back rather than a step forward. Do you think I should go for an apprenticeship and take the pretty poor pay in order to kickstart my career or attempt to go straight for a Web Developer role? (The HnD was not web development focused, however I have done quite a bit of front-end development on the course. I have also done front-end/back-end on some personal projects) Any advice would be extremely useful.

    Cheapest place to host a portfolio website.

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 03:13 AM PDT

    Hi, I've been contacted to do some freelance work regarding a personal portfolio website, I've been wondering what's the best place to host it in. So far I've read about Netlify, Github Pages, and S3 + Cloud front.

    P.S I am new to freelancing and this is my 2nd freelance work. Thanks for the help!

    btw is it overkill to use Angular for this, should I learn Gatsby Js for this project?

    Advice: Monitor features to consider

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 06:23 AM PDT

    I'm looking to add a second monitor to my setup. (Currently using a 2014 24inch iMac screen). Aside from specific makes/models - I'm more interested to understand what to consider in a web dev context - 4K? Refresh rates? Panel type? Size? Curved? As a web dev is there anything specific I should be considering? Any insights would be appreciated.

    Am I being Realistic? (Life Advice/Personal)

    Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:43 PM PDT

    I've been a lurker around here for a little while, checking in from time to time but I really need some advice before I attempt to really commit to this field of work, this will be kind of personal and I'll appreciate any and every one of your replies.

    Backstory

    I'm in my early 30s, live at home, unemployed, lost and concerned with my life.

    Back in 2013 I received a diploma from a community college course where I studied Interactive Media Design, with the main focus on balance of design principles with development (HTML/CSS and a little bit of Javascript, UI/UX, design principles, working with drawing and paint packages, this kind of thing) this would give me entry into graduation year University, for a Bachelors in Web Design/Development. I'll try my best to keep this as short as I can. I really enjoyed and excelled in college but hated University even though I would only need to stick it out for a year to get the Bachelors. I decided at the time for my mental health as a lot what was going on at the time, and on the back of 3 years at College that I would drop out. A large truth to that was I saw through everything at the University - go to a lecture and be redirected to online resources to figure out what you need to learn, in order to submit the assignment, I figured why am I here if this stuff is online? It felt near impossible to get some alone time with a tutor for questions, it was also a newly put together curriculum so it was a bit all over the place in terms of structure. I felt really depressed as I was racking up student debt and a lot of the Uni stuff was quite up it's own arse if I do say so myself, excuse my crudity. I knew for a fact that if I applied myself, with my own resourcefulness, I could learn more in 3 months than I could in a year there, I didn't care about the piece of paper, I just wanted to learn. Overall I felt extremely disenchanted with formal education at this point and figured I'd maybe return at a better time (my diploma should allow that). I really didn't want to be there for a plethora of reasons beyond the scope of this post.

    Well as it turns out, self motivation is pretty damn hard! and it can feel at times like your lost in a sea of information without so much as a compass to navigate to where you need to be, what technologies to focus on, as well as so much was changing in the landscape. Particularly when you have no peers around you and like-minded people to bounce from, when you live at home and your technology-inept parents grew up when the Beatles were at their height while similarly friends pointing out to you all of these new website builders being advertised on TV like Wix and Wordpress. it all felt pretty lonely and hopeless trying to pursue at the time. I fell into a slump and just started playing online video games with my buddies, where months before I thought I was on the right track everything had fallen apart. Fast forward a little after and I found myself working construction as the opportunity presented itself when the money was dearly needed - it was hard work and I enjoyed some aspects but it doesn't pay much and it's not ideal for future health. Safe to say webdev got put on the back-burner pretty quick after leaving Uni for a while I lived through a slump of sorts as everything in my life felt like it was only getting worse, I had all the debt but nothing to really show for it, college I was first in line being recommended for work placements by my tutors, I was on a high, logically I thought university was the next step but man, it bombed hard.

    Recently

    About a year and a half ago I had a burning desire to re-pursue web design/development as a career possibility and while I still am just as confused on what that term fully pertains today, bear in mind it had been so long and I had so much to re-learn, so I spent a couple of months having a great time going straight back to basics, meaning writing clean and semantic HTML5, CSS3, making sure I got pretty good and proficient in that, afterall a lot had changed in those years, I got pretty nice with it and I do have a good eye for design so I enjoyed playing with designs with what I was learning. I learned how to make responsive layouts with media queries, use flex, the grid, I understand the box model, I know the difference between rem, em, px units etc. I had my code editor sorted with all these awesome extensions like live reload, I dabbled with SASS/SCSS, I was having a blast too, like - I'd code for hours all day, following tutorials, putting what I learned to use, running into problems and solving them, checking my layouts in mobile view, challenging myself to write super efficient and readable HTML+ CSS and commenting everything, and I'd just have this feeling in my gut of excitement, that I was really making great strides and I could potentially redeem my previous educational mishaps, I had butterflies and desire, the same I had in college when I felt like I was learning and enjoying and my future was in my hands - anythings possible. Unfortunately though life found a way pull me out of my rekindled interest.

    I remember at the time I was actually finding JavaScript a little overwhelming to stick and wrap my head around, going online and seeing more, and more, and more technologies all with their own brand names for different purposes in the field of webdev, I felt like I was losing my navigation at sea a once again, trying to steer the ship... In times of frustration I'd find myself returning CSS and just burning hours changing around designs I'd made, trying to make them look professional as possible but I knew this was quite procrastinatory when JS was the main goal, then... I had some unfortunate family news. My dad had taken a stroke and the doctors later discovered a tumour. I tried but I really just lost all of my motivation, my parents are separated and so I generally been living between them while trying to care for them in ways that I can in their older years.

    Today

    With everything going on now in the world, the pandemic, personal problems, being on unemployment with no prospects, family health issues and caring for them, I feel at this point web development is really my only shot at a decent career and a decent life if I scrutinously sit at my computer and spend time with this stuff, I'm at my computer all the time anyway, in fact I feel it's as good a time as ever to get stuck in now, what with the slow rebuilding of the world as we try and find a solution to a greater human problem, job security and uncertainty. I just don't know how much I'm kidding myself, I know I need to learn JavaScript decently next. I should probably get familiar with Github and a few other things before eventually learning React. I just don't know if I'm selling myself a dream here by doing this? I've been overwhelmed before with it, life had other ideas, I know it will continue to have other ideas and try to demotivate me. I'm well aware that HTML/CSS/SASS and an eye for design are nowhere near job ready and that there's a mountain ahead. But if starting tomorrow I spend 1 year applying myself, starting with JS, do I have a chance?

    I dread the day my families health issues take a turn for the worst and its especially scary during this pandemic being that both of them are well into their senior years with compromised immune systems not only because I obviously love them and don't want to lose them but for my own future and welfare. I feel like I'm running out of time. I need to be able to support my future self financially or I'm in big trouble, I don't know if this is like next level imposter syndrome or what, but I feel like I need someone to tell me I am not just going to waste my time or offer their opinion on the best route to take.

    Apologies for the life story. If you made it to the end I commend you & thank you.

    Plausible Analytics vs Matomo Analytics

    Posted: 27 Aug 2020 06:07 AM PDT

    After much research, I have found Plausible Analytics & Matomo Analytics to be the best alternatives for Google Analytics. Matomo is a free and open-source but it asks the visitors to enable cookies. My site does not save cookies and it has a policy declared as such. How can you get rid of the cookie banner? Even if you don't set cookies, you have to inform your visitors before you track, that you are tracking. - any fix?

    The Matomo WordPress plugin is recommended for only up to 50k visits per month to a website but my traffic is over 50k. So should I use the recommended package or go the self-hosted route?

    Plausible Analytics is open source but it says on the site that it has a monthly fee of $6 for 10k visits to the site which I don't understand. Is there a free version or is it possible to use this for free?
