    I created my first app: a Student Report Generator using Vanilla JS!

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 12:52 AM PST

    Hi everyone -

    I've been on the sub for a little while and been working with HTML/CSS for a few years. Just got into Javascript 2 months ago, and I've made my very first web app.

    It's a Student Report Generator (as I work as a teacher and this takes a lot of time!) and I'm really proud of it. I'm currently learning React so that I can re-think the user experience, but I learned A LOT making this interation of it.

    Thanks to everyone on here, you help has been hugely beneficial!

    Gmail flags all my emails as spam

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 11:24 AM PST

    All of my sign up emails sent to gmail users end up in the spam folder because they are "similar to other spam messages".

    I have a virtual server that sends these mails, it is not listed in any blacklist, I have set up SPF, DKIM, DMARC, reverse DNS, and set the server name correctly. I have included my company's full address and links to the imprint/privacy policy in the email.

    It happens with emails in all languages supported by my website (English and German).

    What can I do to fix this?

    How can my client update the website without me

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 11:05 AM PST

    I want to make a website for a second-hand book store, so there will be a database of all the books, my question is, how will my client keep on adding or removing from the database without me once I'm done building the website, the person doesn't know anything about coding so I want the person to be easily able to remove or add books the database.

    I have thought about a system where the client can log in and add it through the website?

    Why do bundelers like rollupjs or webpack import and inject CSS-files direct in JS?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 09:51 AM PST

    I noticed that bundelers like webpack or rollupjs, respectively the corresponding pulgins, have this default behavior, that for bundeling CSS, one has to "import" the CSS files in JS. Those CSS files will be injected into the JS.

    I wonder why. Is this just to have everything in one file? Or is it just that you have one entry point for the bundler? Is this now common practice?

    I am not saying that CSS should not be bundled, I am wondering why it is bundled with JS.

    Web Security when hosting your apps on a VPS

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 03:36 PM PST

    I've learned a lot about hosting applications this year by making use of digitalOcean, but my question would apply to any VPS service that is self managed.

    When you spin up your own VPS, tutorials and blogs often warn you about being in charge of your own security. I mostly use Ubuntu images and run Django apps through Nginx. Lately I've also been using Docker.

    What do they mean when they say to manage your own security? Some kinds of updates? I'm guessing keeping software up-to-date... but what is usually the weakest link? Django itself? Nginx? Docker? Guicorn? And surely software like this isn't being regularly targeted in the same way that, say, Wordpress might be? What would an attacker actually be able to accomplish if the VPS wasn't being properly "managed"?

    What security things do you always insist on when it comes to a VPS hosting code in production?

    Advice for a webhost/builder, Affordable and not extortionate?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 03:32 PM PST

    Hi All,

    Just wanting to create a basic site so I can provide that to customers and use for advertising purposes (Business cards, facebook ads etc). Don't care for SEO or anything like that, just need some form of web presence that doesn't look like trash.

    I have a G Suite subscription and thought about using Google Sites - Pretty clunky and it seems to auto retouch your uploaded images and has very poor control. Also can't even find a useful template, and when you switch to Classic sites, your sites are stuck to the editor you created them in! I wanted to then search the template gallery on Classic and import to New (NOPE!)

    Anyway, I went through the motions of creating a Wix site and I got all the info I would like in there. Checked their plans and they can Royally go fock themselves! Their pricing and the clarity around that is simply misleading until you are just about to enter your card. For me to capitalise on one of their terrible deals, I need to buy 1 or 2 years minimum.. Advertised monthly costs are not monthly costs, they are the yearly plan broken into 12.. Change it to actual monthly billing cycle and you get a price 50% higher..

    Now I am starting a small IT business, It will probably not succeed. I am not earning a full salary currently and don't have $100-$200 to pay for 1 year upfront of hosting I may not need after 2-3 months.. This is why Google Sites would be good as I already pay for their Suite...

    Anyway, 10 years ago when I ran game servers and a community to go with it, you could get a website built and working with your own domain and no ads in under 1 hour for the cost a the domain name and around $10 a month for some website builder.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for me here or am I living in a time long since passed?

    Thanks

    Using auto playing video in web design - good or bad?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 06:45 AM PST

    I have read many articles which say that auto playing video is bad for website design. When I personally visit a website that has an interesting video playing (without audio) then I find myself watching the video and spending more time on that website. Personally I am drawn to websites which have auto playing video (without audio) and an auto-playing YouTube video is not going to create issues for my mobile data/device either, like I assume it would not for most people in 2021.

    My guess is that using a video instead of a slideshow or a static image will retain more people on the page, which will increase my user retention, which could increase my ranking and conversion rate. Am I wrong?

    How can I create a precisely responsive speech bubble type of thing?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 09:18 AM PST

    My situation is as follows: I have a page with multiple objects on it, laid out with plain HTML/CSS, nothing special.

    When one of the objects is clicked, it opens a speech bubble with various details. Currently I am using the html/css trick of having a centered, rotated div partially behind the speech bubble to simulate the triangle that points to the object that's "speaking". I'll refer to this as the pointer.

    The problem is that on mobile devices, the speech bubble might go offscreen. When this happens, I transform: translateX() translateY() to bring it back onscreen, but now the pointer is pointing to the wrong object, or to no object at all. I could move the pointer back by the same amount (although I would have to change it from being ::before to be able to do that I think), but when the object it's pointing to is right at the edge, it looks ugly as the rotated div is outside of the bubble and so more than just the pointer part is visible.

    Ideally I'd like to be able to create something where the point of the pointer stays in place while the bubble moves to whereever, but I don't even know where to start. I'm already using javascript to bring it onscreen, so it by no means has to be a pure CSS solution.

    All of my searches about responsive speech bubbles have yielded results that don't apply in terms of the level of precision I want, and (other than by re-doing everything on a canvas) I can't figure out how to create an arbritrary triangle shape that would allow me to set the x and y of one corner (the one pointing to the "speaker"), while the other two remain attached to the speech bubble.

    Help creating a jekyll and tailwindcss boilerplate?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 03:09 PM PST

    I've been at this for now five (maybe six? idk) days and I'm losing my mind. I'm loosely familiar with both jekyll and tailwind. I've read articles, seen videos, read docs, about using them and using them together and I cannot for the life of me get this to work.

    ​

    I asked on jekyll talk: https://talk.jekyllrb.com/t/cant-get-jekyll-setup-with-tailwind/5266/7

    ​

    I got help from a very nice user on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/jzzx27/need_help_setting_up_a_jekyll_and_tailwind/gdidy6c/

    ​

    I originally followed this tutorial: https://mdoliwa.com/2020/08/22/how-to-setup-jekyll-with-tailwind-css.html

    ​

    But that didn't work so I tried using this: https://github.com/danklammer/jekyll-tailwindcss-boilerplate which had a lot of issues so I used this: https://github.com/kangabru/jekyll-tailwindcss-boilerplate but I still couldn't get it to work: https://github.com/kangabru/jekyll-tailwindcss-boilerplate/issues/4

    ​

    All I want is a boilerplate that works for running jekyll and tailwind... I feel like this shouldn't be that hard, but I spent 5 hours one day, 3 the next, 4 the next, 1 the next, and 4 today, and I'm completely losing my mind. I've asked a dozen people and they've suggested a dozen things and nothing works. I have no idea why ruby breaks and npm breaks and jekyll fails and what all these node modules are doing or package lock, I've spent a while just learning about ruby gems and package lock, and everything inbetween but it's just too much and I'm completely lost. I feel like for a pro this would be a 2 minute process, but I just can't get it to work. Again, all I want is a completely empty jekyll project that uses tailwind, that's it, nothing more. Thank you in advance for any help : )

    What is the common way of updating and maintaining a website?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 02:14 PM PST

    Hey, I'm pretty new to webdev and I've pretty much only basic knowledge of front end. I have access to some school servers where I can host my own small website, and I've used it in the past, transferring my files manually with FTP.

    I have wanted to do this more smoothly recently, and I found a nice guide on how to use a github repository to update my website. With it, the website has a repository pulling from the github-account. This way I can for example push to my master to update my website, and I think it's just what I wanted!

    My question is: Is this the preferred way of doing it? What are the "standard" way of doing it? What do people do in a professional setting?

    Google domains and godaddy

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 01:56 PM PST

    So I'm trying to set gsuite back up. Recently went with godaddy for hosting and now I can't seem to figure out how to start receiving emails again. With netlify I was able to add and edit things pretty easily but with godaddy it feels like the setting i'm looking for is buried somewhere I'll never find.

    ​

    So I'm using google domains for my domain name, and hosting my wordpress website on godaddy.
    For some reason I can't find any info on how to setup gsuite with godaddy.

    Any help is appreciated!

    White Hat Jr coding bootcamp sues its critics for being right.

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 06:14 AM PST

    White Hat Jr coding bootcamp gets exposed for making false claims that a 13 yr old student of theirs worked at google making $1.2 million/year. Turns out,the student was fictional. The kicker here is that White Hat Jr decides to sue their critics for being right. lol I thought I'd share this here:

    What specific tasks will AI replace in our industry?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 01:37 PM PST

    Although people think in terms of jobs replaced, AI tends to have more narrow, task siloed focus: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joemckendrick/2018/08/14/artificial-intelligence-will-replace-tasks-not-jobs/?sh=3e388e3da7fa

    At a restaraunt of the future (or present), the cashier count may be reduced from 2 to 0.2 (one or two staff in other roles know it and have it as a side duty for special needs or other "manual orders").

    A radiologist at a hospital may only confirm the results of AI scans but continue to handle communication of results to patients and other health workers.

    I would like to ask what specific tasks you guys seeing AI and automation helping to offload out of developer time.

    • I think it's clear those 5 page static sites are being handled by site builders more and more

    Anything else?

    What's a decent mid-level machine to develop on these days?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2020 07:36 AM PST

    I'm looking at switching to a more freelance/contractor role, and my personal computer could do with an upgrade. I know some people talk about the Dell XPS being top-tier, but I can't currently justify spending 2 grand on a laptop. I was wondering if anyone would recommend some mid-tier laptops/desktops that are usable for an at-home programmer
