    [Showoff Saturday] Could I have some feedback on my portfolio?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I'm new to this subreddit, but I would really appreciate some feedback on the 'hire-ability' of my portfolio: tarellmorris.com

    Note: As I make this post, I realize that my portfolio is not optimized for Safari. I'll definitely fix this, but please look at it in Chrome/Firefox just so I know that we're all looking at the same thing.

    I've been teaching myself for over a year now, and would really love to get an entry level position in the field. Would some current industry workers be able to offer input? Like, am I lacking anything really important that might differentiate me more? I just started applying fairly recently, so I'm light on feedback right now.

    I know that the 'projects' themselves aren't necessarily groundbreaking. I spent most of my time recently getting the portfolio itself polished. I built it in the Angular framework, which took some time to learn.

    The site is like 85% mobile optimized, meaning I've made it largely reactive, but two of the projects still aren't perfect on mobile, and the site itself still looks much better on a desktop.

    I'll really appreciate any feedback though!

    How long until google crawls/updates a new manifest.json?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:49 PM PDT

    I unfortunately forgot to update the manifest.json when I originally launched. I just went in and updated it. The name and short_name.

    Do I need to manually submit a request to google? Or will it eventually get crawled and updated?

    At least I'm fairly certain it was the manfiest and not a meta tag...

    for context, it now says "Web site created using create-react-app." ... remember to update your manifests/meta tags people!

    Programmer Moneyball: Challenging the Myth of Individual Programmer Productivity

    [Showoff Saturday] I made a paper trading app for real-time stocks and options

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    Back in March I (like a lot of other people) was learning about trading options because of the whole market meltdown thing. I made some money, then lost a lot more and wanted to start paper trading to practice, but I hated all the interfaces on the brokerages so I built my own app: https://www.ValueMachine.io

    It's slightly different than the traditional interface because trades are usually considered to act like a verb; you should always keep a log of them, but they mostly just modify your account balance (cash + credits and debits of stocks and options).

    I changed the model so that positions are a first class citizen. They're mostly immutable except for their open/closed status. If you open a position where you buy 50 stocks of AAPL, you can't sell half of it and have 25, the only thing you can do is close it completely.

    The upside of insisting that a position is (mostly) immutable is that you can track performance easier without worrying about confounding trades (like when you buy a call option, then the price goes down and you lose money, and then you buy more to "average down"). It makes the interface easier, too.

    Additionally, when a trade is a noun instead of a verb, you can put that into a feed like on Instagram and show what strategies the community is trying.

    Would love to get some feedback on it!

    If I use Wordpress as a headless CMS, can I use Firebase to manage user registration etc at the same time?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:28 AM PDT

    So I'm still pretty new to this but I built a web app and use Wordpress as a headless CMS for the content.

    I want to add user registration to allow people to submit content but I want to use firebase to store these credentials and handle authentication

    Is this possible?

    [Showoff Saturday] I built a auto follow bot for Parler

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:32 PM PDT

    This Parler Auto follow bot is very simple it uses xpath to control google chrome and automatically follows people on Parler.com because parler is a new Twitter alternative site they haven't made any rules about mass following I'm sure years down the road they will just like Twitter.

    But for the time being it's perfectly safe to use I have had this bot running 24/7 for about 2 months and so far it's gained me 17,000 followers.

    It's pretty cool because anytime I post something 1000s of people see it and a lot of times they "echo" it, that's what Parler calls retweet.

    I mainly have been using it to promote my social platform and it's definitely got me a lot of signups.

    Well that's this weeks showoff let me know what you think. :)

    need drop in comment system

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:00 PM PDT

    I coded a brochure website for my client who runs a service business a few years ago using html/css/javascript/jquery, and some vanilla php for templating/email form. Now he wants his customers to be able to leave comments on his site. I'm looking for a minimal effort to set up comment system that would let his customers leave a comment on his site without having to sign up to anything. Any suggestions?

    [Show off Saturday] Why will recruiters like or dislike this portfolio?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:54 PM PDT

    https://ryanjpeterson.dev/

    I tried applying to a few local front end jobs yesterday and to my surprise, I have been asked to interview for one position already! Another application via zip recruiter has been opened three times already, according to an automated email. Not sure if that means anything yet.

    I did this for the hell of it, and I really wasn't thinking my portfolio and it's projects were anywhere near ready yet. Nothing concrete has come from these applications yet, but now I am feeling the urge to really get things in order and build a new project or two so I can feel a little bit more "ready" for future applications.

    Any feedback on this portfolio?

    Looking for homepage UX feedback on my latest project

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    yo, I recently launched https://www.ShopBySub.com and can't really figure out what I want to do with the homepage.

    Background

    I crawled through Reddit, parsed out all Amazon products I found, and aggregated them by subreddit. I built a lil UI around displaying the information in (hopefully) a useful way.

    What I would like Feedback on

    Homepage

    The homepage is currently a leaderboard of the top 100 upvoted comments containing links to Amazon products. It used to be just a list of all the subreddits I have content for. I think it's a step up but I'm not entirely in love with it.

    I was thinking of doing a constantly-updating list of the most recent comments I've found, which may be interesting but would also most likely be entirely irrelevant to the user on average.

    Perhaps bringing the search bar to more of a hero role is the right move here? To give the user one path forward to content that is overwhelmingly going to be what they're looking for?

    Comment Card

    I currently have two treatments for the comment card:

    I'm worried that the iframe that Amazon gives me in order to show pricing information just looks way too ugly. I'm also worried that not showing the price on the prettier of the two will lead to much fewer clicks.

    Ideally I'd A/B test them, but it's in an iframe so I can't detect clicks within it. I also have about 20 users so the data wouldn't be significant if I could.

    Bounce Rate

    From what little analytics data I do have, users who are referred to the site almost always just stick on the page to which they were referred. Ideally they'd visit another subreddit on the site. I tried to remedy this by making the search sticky at the top, but so far no dice. Average time on page is a couple minutes so it's not like people are just immediately closing the tab, there must be some value for them to stay so long. No idea what to do here.

    Looking for all feedback and recommendations, thanks!

    Best Web Dev course?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 10:32 AM PDT

    I'm taking courses on CodingPhase.com and also Stef Mischook's web development course.

    My honest thoughts on both

    CodingPhase: decent teacher,but kind of rushes things and sometimes doesn't tell you why things work. Videos are also about 20-30 minutes each. Pros: -has a whole library of courses: html,css, JavaScript,PHP,Vuejs,React,mobile,app development courses,Shopify developer course etc for $20/month or $10/month when he has a 50% off sale.

    -Facebook community whos willing to help

    -Joe is a nice guy who gives great advice on his livestreams,and is willing to help people.

    -courses are more advanced

    -Shows you how to use your skills to start your own business

    -Web developer road map

    Cons:

    -rushes things sometimes -doesnt explain why things work the way they do sometimes -video sections are way too long - some things are outdated -courses are not that beginner friendly like Stefs course

    Stef Mischook:

    Pros: -Great teacher. Teaches things more clearly than Joe from CodingPhase (no offense Joe) -spends more time on concepts -course is very beginner friendly -interactive course with mini quizes -Short videos -breaks things down and tells why things work the way they do -has a freelancer course

    Cons: Only teaches PHP for the backend Seems too basic sometimes

     -no facebook group for more help -his forum community is kina dead. support is slow

    Conclusion: I like both of these guys,they each have things I like more than the other,but overall Stef Mischook is the better teacher,he actually takes time to teach the concepts,but his course is shorter and more basic IMO. CodingPhase course sometimes just feels like code along monkey see monkey do kind of thing,but he does have more advanced topics,which I like.

    Overall: Stef is the better teacher. CodingPhase more variety of courses to learn from.

    What other courses do you guys recommend? I feel like I get stuck pretty often in CodingPhases' courses and Stef Mischooks course is kina basic.

    Advice?.....
