    How do you get good at building NEW web apps?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 08:47 AM PDT

    As title says; been a dev for 5 years ish, always worked at large ish companies on well established apps.

    Im totally cool with reading an app and debugging or adding to it.

    Now I'm at home though and looking at some home custom projects, I'm really scratching my head making some architectural decisions. Like; folder structure, initial classes and namespaces.

    Is this a trial error sort of thing? Any advice on considering the big picture?

    Thanks

    If you were to build a native android app today, what would you go with? Kotlin, Java, Flutter, something else? Thanks!

    Ffs if you add a loading button for more content make sure it goes back to the top of the new content. The amount of sites that don't do this is insane and it's absolutely horrible UX

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 02:20 PM PDT

    Title. Any sites that makes me have to scroll back up constantly for the new content I just asked for royally pisses me and every other person off.

    Everyone hates massive content shifting. It's not even hard to fix. It's just blatant negligence.

    Adding Background Image causes div offset in Chrome

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 10:24 AM PDT

    Hi all! I've been recently working on developing a website for my new game, but I really don't know web design. I thought I had successfully created a nice landing page, but for whatever reason, when I add a background image, it causes the white background under the header to be about 5px longer.

    For example, https://bluequillstudios.com/ is how I want the header to look, but when I add the background, it looks like this https://bluequillstudios.com/cyberclimb-with-bg

    Again, this is only in Chrome, as far as I can tell. Firefox, MS Edge, and Safari are all fine.

    Sorry if this is a stupid, noobie question, but it's driving me nuts. Can anyone provide any insight?

    How can I design a website with wget/curl in mind?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 02:19 PM PDT

    I have a site that hosts a bunch of files, but I find that the more features I add, the more it breaks downloaders like wget and curl. The more files you pull to your webpage (css, js, etc), the more you have to filter out from these commands. Making matters worse, some of the items hosted are rips of websites, so users of wget have to be sure to only filter out my site's js/css, but keep the ones from the listings.

    What can I do to ensure compatibility and ease of use with these tools?

    Freelance contract templates (eu)

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 04:35 PM PDT

    I've picked up a small job around $1000, static html site with couple of pages. I've got enough experience in web dev and design for it, but a bit new to freelancing.

    Could anyone suggest simple contract templates for the tasks and common pitfalls I need to consider? Preferably something not too complicated. The structure would be is half upfront, rest after review but before handover of the finished site. A clause to cover revisions and extra features outside of the scope.

    Also, any simple ways of handling international billing as private person for such a thing?

    What do you think web designers should know about your job?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:29 AM PDT

    I'm a professional web designer who has gleaned a good amount of working knowledge of web development over the last few years working closely with devs in a small company. I wanted to ask the /r/webdev community about how I could do better in my next role to empower web developers to do their job and keep communication lines open between design/development in a new company where the departments are separated.

    Given that OpenID Connect uses JWTs for Authentication, how is the safety ensured?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:40 AM PDT

    I am trying to understand various login (authentication) mechanisms and it seems like there are roughly 3 ways to do so viz. (please correct me if I am wrong):

    • Sessions ( stateful )
    • JWTs ( both stateless & stateful )
    • OpenID Connect

    This blog post ( Stop using JWTs for web sessions ) covers a lot of demerits of JWTs in the context of using them for maintaining sessions. When I read about OpenID Connect it turns out that they use JWT Tokens for ID Tokens to authenticate a user. The blog post describes demerits like XSS attacks, malicious javascript codes stealing tokens ( & token info) etc..

    I tried to search my doubt online but didn't find any exact matches. My doubts are as follows:

    • So, how does OpenID Connect ensure that it's authentication & session maintenance are secure?
    • Also if it is the case that JWTs are used as "short-lived one-time usage tokens", then how does one keep the user signed in without prompting them to re-login after every few minutes/hours?

    Thanks for your help!

    Help with routing a Progressive Web App

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:05 AM PDT

    I turned my app into a PWA and I would like to introduce offline functionality. The app is a map-based tagging and tracking program based on Google Maps. Essentially all resources can be pre-cached (css, images, js) but I'm not sure how to cache the data.php handler. This file takes post requests and responds accordingly, eg: data.php with POST "action=readcaptures will return all data points, action=upload will add a new data point, no POST request will return a blank file.

    Do I need to separate all the data actions into separate files in order to cache properly or is there another way to do it?

    So, what now?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 12:50 PM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry for the rude title but i just couldn't find a good one.

    I am trying to get a job as a frontend dev but i know i am not enough. I worked at a very small startup for 2 months before covid.

    I am good at:

    • HTML
    • CSS/Sass
    • AdobeXD
    • Bootstap/TailwindCss
    • Git

    I fell I am ok with:

    • JavaScript
    • Node.js
    • Vue.js

    Now I am trying to get good at back-end because eventually I want to be a product manager/devops/techlead.

    But now I am lost. I don't know what to learn. I fell I am not good at these things. I am trying to learn and make projects. I am trying to relocate to Japan and they use a lot of old technologies like Ruby on rails, PHP, laravel etc.

    What do you guys think I should do?

    Thank you so much!

    I need advice for a budget to hire a front-end dev

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:49 AM PDT

    I posted this on r/Upwork but after thinking about it, I feel like I might get a better answer here.

    I am starting a small upstart as a side-gig and bootstrapping it myself. I need someone to create a proper landing page for me. I have one currently, but after receiving feedback that it looks unprofessional, I thought it might be best to have someone help me get 80-90% of the way there. I am not a front-end developer myself.

    Basically I'm looking for advice on what to start with for a budget for this so I can post something on UpWork to hire a freelancer.

    I'm looking for a 1 or 2 week turn around time. Nothing fast. I'm assuming this could be an easy project for an experienced person (again, not a front-end dev).

    The website is built off of wordpress. I only need the landing page design, not the theme or anything else.

    The theme is based loosely off of the Twenty Twenty wordpress them. I hacked it apart a lot and used it as a starting base to integrate a lot of Materialize CSS into it.

    I can easily create an account on the staging website for someone to test and play with.

    I'm not looking for something 100% perfect. Basically I need a webpage that answer the who, what, why, and how for a normal landing page, and something that doesn't look like it was made by a hobbyist.

    I can make changes myself and update things as needed. So getting me 80-90% of the way there is good enough for me.

    I'm looking for a 'finished' product for that landing page that I can take the HTML from the staging site and copy/paste it into the page for the prod site. (Again, no theme work or anything else, just the page contents).

    I don't need final images, though placeholder images and their recommendations would be nice.

    My guess is that this would take someone experienced between 30 minutes to 2 hours to complete.

    My initial thought was a $100 budget (again, not a front-end dev) with a 2 week turn around time (get to it when they have some time kind of deal).

    What is everyone's thoughts here, and what's your advice? What should I budget at, what kind of time frame would it take an experienced front-end dev, and am I missing any details that you would want to know?

    If I have the option of a frontend api client and backend api client, which one should I prefer?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:19 AM PDT

    So I've got a MERN website, and I have this api which would be really important for my website, basically providing recommendations to the user, and tracking everything the user does.

    And they provide an api for react, and an api for node. Which one should i prefer? Is one more secure than the other ?

    I have had this question since I was also working on the stripe api, and it only works with a backend server, you can't do subscriptions by only using the front end api. But this case is different since I''ll be sending information about every interaction of the user, and once they want recommendations, I'll get the recommendations from that api.

    Free or cheap hosting solution with some CMS functionality?

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 12:07 PM PDT

    I set up a basic [portfolio site](https://rosiewhitepainting.com/) a while back for my girlfriend, using bootstrap, a carousel plugin, and free hosting on Github pages.

    It's amazing that GitHub offers this service for free, the only limitation is whenever she wants to add new images I have to do it manually as it's a static site. Ideally she would be able to make changes to the site herself via a CMS interface, or at the very least add/remove images.

    At the moment, I get her to deposit the photos into a DropBox folder with some naming conventions (numerical order) and a text file, then use the text file to generate the HTML with a Java program (don't laugh, I am trying!), then I copy-paste the HTML output and push it to git. I looked into interfacing with the DropBox API to populate the page but I got stuck. I don't even know if it's possible (is it?).

    The reason for a cheap/free solution is she hardly makes any revenue from her art and so it's not worth spending e.g. £150 a year to host, also it's overkill for such a basic "business card" site.

    I experimented with Jekyll which is cool but it doesn't really solve the issue. One solution I considered today is using my raspberry Pi 4 to host a Wordpress site. Running costs would be much less than hosting, right? I would prefer to free the Pi up for other uses if free hosting services is available, however.

    Looking for a basic “project manager” to track tasks and money in/out

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 07:39 AM PDT

    I have a small/casual partnership (hobby) going with a friend that isn't a web dev or overly savvy with software like we are (he doesn't need to be).

    I have personally used or researched most of the project management software spectrum. The suggestions that typically come up in a thread like this are mostly overkill for what I need.

    I just need to make sure we can both see our full to-do list and the small amounts of money that goes in and out.

    I'd also prefer the app to be native to iOS and Android as most of what he needs to do is through his phone anyway.

    So, any clever suggestions on how to make a "project manager" out of an app that isn't really made for teams but can still share a working task list and decent view of our expenses?

    We've been using a private Discord but that is obviously far from ideal.

    Google Drive is decent but then you're kind of stuck manually formatting spreadsheets and lists.

    The iOS Reminders app is decent for this but the money tracking would get a little confusing in list form, and he uses Android anyway.

    I know there are a lot of App Store notes and lists apps but I'm not as familiar with those as I am with actual project management software for teams.

    Any suggestions?
