| How do you safely open up your projects/repos to new subcontractors? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 12:50 PM PST I'm looking at bringing an Indian web developer from Fiver onto one of my projects. The project has a git repo and deploys to prod/staging via DeployHQ. I'm a bit reticent to just hand the keys to a developer I don't know well. I'll have him sign an NDA and a contractor agreement, but it's hard to hold someone from India accountable when I live in the U.S. Are there any additional steps I should be taking? Would you all try some sort of trial run where you sent him a zip of the website, let him work on that, then reviewed the work before granting git access? Thanks for any advice!

| Are aria-* and role attributes just for the blind? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 01:26 PM PST Or do they actually do something for site functionality? I have been building a site and seen a lot of these tags in other sites, but they dont seem to do anything. Apart from screen readers(?) is there another reason I should use them?

| Moral conflict with pricing... Posted: 28 Dec 2020 09:02 AM PST Hey guys, my first post in this sub. Been a freelance web developer and designer for going on 16 years now. There have been ups and downs in the industry but I find myself in a weird spot these days. At one point, I charged lets just say $2k for a simple website (design and dev). 10-15 years ago, this looked much different than it does today both from a front end and a back end perspective. Fast forward to today we have things like Elementor, Divi, Cornerstone etc to not only speed things up, but make the overall process more streamlined. In some ways this actually does speed things up, and in others not so much. There are other aspects of the job these days that did not exist when I first started. Or if they did, they simply looked much different. Then you have people out there using Squarespace, Wix etc to achieve (what they believe to be) similar results. My pricing hasn't really changed and I am a much more skilled, knowledgeable and experienced developer now than I was 15 years ago. This brings me to the point of my post. Sometimes I can design and develop a website in very little time, sometimes not. But lets just say those times that I do work quickly, and with modern day tools etc. I feel guilty charging $2k+ for work that I consider so easy at this point in my life. At the same time, I absolutely struggle financially with keeping a steady flow of clients and having them pay on time etc...all the freelancer things. Does anyone else feel this? Or am I just being far too hard on myself? I do a lot of contract work for marketing companies. They're charging sometimes $10-15k for these websites to lawyers, doctors and such. Then hire me to do the work. I'm putting the same knowledge, passion and energy into these $10k+ projects for marketing companies as I do for my freelance work. Should I be charging more? I just don't know how these marketing companies land such high paying gigs. I struggle to get clients to agree to $2k websites. Then when I land one I feel morally wrong for charging an individual $2k when they felt like they could have done it themselves via SquareSpace for a fraction of the price. I know the service and quality of work I provide is top notch and that if marketing companies are charging $10k for my work, that I should be okay with charging $2k. Just feel like pricing and expectations are all over the place. Anyways...thanks for hearing me out! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Building a simple e-commerce website - anyone used Shopify Lite? Or something else? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 01:58 PM PST Basically I've been asked by my girlfriend to build a simple e-commerce website for her family's small business. They currently run a curry diner type place and want to start selling packets of the curry sauce online. They don't really have much of an existing brand presence or customer base so initial sales will be low but hopefully will become somewhat higher over time. I am not (yet) a professional web dev. I've taught myself how to build static sites and a bit of backend stuff (PHP, MySQL, Node/Express) and dabbled in React and Vue. I'm quite comfortable with making normal static sites but I have never made an e-commerce site before. I have heard that doing it from scratch is time consuming and I'm thinking that it's not really worth it for the modest ambitions of this project I'll be tackling. Therefore I looked around and came across Shopify Lite. I'm not too clear on exactly how it works except that it allows me to add some embed code on any site, that shows the product picture and a Buy Now or Add to Cart button. Is the cart also added using embed code or is that redirected to Shopify for cart + checkout? If anyone can give some thoughts on Shopify Life, or general tips on how you'd approach this project, that would be hugely appreciated. Cheers and hope everyone's having a great Christmas holiday!

| Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:51 PM PST I want to learn a backend framework but I was wondering whether I should learn Spring Boot or Flask. I mostly have experience with Java so I think it would be easier to learn Spring Boot. Also in my area there are a lot more job opportunities for Spring Boot developers but I really like the simplicity of Python and Flask framework. What do you guys suggest I should learn ? If my two picks are not good you can suggest better frameworks but I would like to know why. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Search Functionality - What would you recommend? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:20 PM PST Hey Everyone, I am working on an E-Commerce solution, as my country doesn't work well with Shopify / WooCommerce etc. I am trying to figure out how I want to handle the search functionality, I see a lot of tutorials and articles doing basic array find / filter, but not sure this would work well for a large amount of products. I also know I could go with a paid option, like elastic search. After all, it is an E-Commerce project, so I would also like to have good filter options, not sure if that is closely related to search at all, but yeah. Any recommendations? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Google Maps API, directions API Posted: 28 Dec 2020 10:25 AM PST Hey everyone! I have a problem regarding the google maps directions API. Problem: I have a few markers as waypoints that I have to use for directions route. Markers are not on the exact road so directions API sometimes doesn't draw the route as I'd like it to because it's trying to get to that marker. Is there a way to use for example a circle as a waypoint or set a radius for the marker? I really need the route just to barely pass the marker. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 28 Dec 2020 04:11 PM PST I've been doing web dev for about 3 years and im honestly sick of it. I think I like software development, but I spend most of my time troubleshooting the random third party libraries my team uses instead of writing code. Is it normal for web dev teams to use 15 different packages/libraries pulled from various corners of the internet in their development stack? Do I have an accurate impression of webdev? Or could it be possible le that my development team just uses a really shitty stack? Is spending hours and hours trying to get your third part packages to cooperate just to get your development environment working so that you can actually write code normal? Is this just THE WAY THINGS ARE!?!? Between entity framework, dotnet, dotnet-ef, webpack, Aurelia, this random C# implementation of Javas RestAssured library that we use, XUnit, karma etc... etc... , on any given day one of these packages may or may not decide to break all of the other packages. And then I spend 3+ hours digging through stack overflow posts, most of which are completely irrelevant trying to figure out why this library that I didn't write is breaking. I've dipped my toe into other types of software development, mostly just sticking around with .net services and Unity, and it feels like other fields of software development don't have nearly as much bullshit as webdev does. But then I've never done anything outside of my job on the same scale as the projects I've done for my actual job, so I may just be naive. It does seem like libraries developed by an actual software company are significantly more reliable than the shit you find open source, but I dont know if the "open source" culture is unique to web dev or not.

| A domain name using my personal name is being used by someone else Posted: 28 Dec 2020 04:11 PM PST A few years ago, I bought a .xyz domain using my personal name. So the website was similar to johnsmith.xyz I forgot about it and my plan must have expired without me realizing. I just found out that someone else is now using johnsmith.xyz and I'm not sure why? The website is in a different language. Is this something to be worried about? Is this legal? Should I try to make an offer to get it back? I'm afraid if I do that, then they will buy another similar domain like .club or .dev using my personal name and then I'll have to make another offer and it will be a cycle... I just don't like the idea of my personal name being attached to any domain, If I'm not the one who purchased it. Has anyone else ran into this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Chat Widget with good Content-Security-Policy Posted: 28 Dec 2020 04:01 PM PST After evaluating several different Chat Widgets most seem to need a CSP policy that allows 'unsafe-inline' which largely defeats the purpose of a CSP policy. Does anyone know of a good chat widget that can be added to a website without adding 'unsafe-inline'? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Where to request Authentication Token for third party API Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:55 PM PST Hello all, First paid project after my schooling in Full Stack Web Dev. I set up a back-end in express, with front-end using react. Essentially i'm getting information from one API (inventory system that accepts orders), packaging it in the correct manner, and funnelling it to another API (distribution system). I'm wondering how I should go about getting my authentication token. Essentially in the first part (inventory system), I have to send my API Key, secret, etc in headers to get my Authentication token (bearer) which expires every 60 minutes. Should I be requesting the token when the user logs in using a static route? Should I be nesting the requests as in use passport to validate the login information, then once that's validated send the request to the API which returns the token? After that, once it expires, should I be renewing the token using an axios request via a countdown/timeout? If I make the request through the front-end using axios, will that not be insecure? I have to pass through the client ID and client secret which is then base64 encoded. If the front-end will be using it, won't the clientID/secret be vulnerable? I unfortunately haven't been able to find anything in the API docs, and google hasn't been too much help for once... most likely i'm searching this the wrong way or for the wrong thing. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Does anyone know how to achieve this? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 03:39 PM PST Hi, I'm working on a gaming website, and I was wondering how one can add an online multiplayer html or flash game to a website, with a lobby etc. where visitors can play against eachother. Not just adding an iFrame to an already existing site with the game on it. Something like this: https://www.speeleiland.nl/tanks-multiplayer.htm I'd really appreciate any insight on this. Also the site's build with the WordPress CMS as I don't really have experience on back-end programming (yet) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Question: Missing website element that show locally but not when uploaded to hosting Posted: 28 Dec 2020 02:44 PM PST Hi folks - Just over the last week, my live portfolio site has had its introduction text blurb not showing up. When I view the site locally (Browse file from browser to a desktop folder and then index.html), the blurb appears with its transition. The html code has been unaltered since before the no-display started happening. It is an intro blurb that rises up in the page a few pixels. That's it. The files are identical on the host server as they are on the desktop folder. This "just" happened this week. Love to have your feedback of how I should attack this. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||

| Most up-to-date online course(s) for HTML, CSS and Javascript? Posted: 28 Dec 2020 01:57 PM PST I'm a complete beginner looking for the most up-to-date online course(s) on HTML, CSS and Javascript, free or paid. As someone who's completely new to this, I can't tell what's good and what's not, what's up-to-date and what's outdated. I'm just scared to spend the time and finish a course only to find out what I learned is no longer relevant. There are so many out there! One of the top ones on Udemy is Colt's, but many say his course has a lot of outdated content, even with the 2020 version. Is that true? That bootcamp looks quite a comprehensive package. I was starting one by Yaakov Chaikin on Coursera, supposedly a good one, but based on the screen captures, the course was filmed in 2015, and even the install tutorials for Git and Sublime Text 3 are totally different. I have also come across Codecademy, Frontend Masters, FreeCodeCamp, The Odin Project... which ones are actually good and up-to-date? Any help will be much appreciated! [link] [comments]  | ||
| (Vue.js) Function triggered by event bus doesn't run Posted: 28 Dec 2020 01:29 PM PST Hello! I'm a web dev newbie and I have what I suppose is a basic problem, probably caused by inexperience but here goes. I'm using an event bus to carry a value from one vue child component to it's parent when triggered on click -- the child emits the event and the value I need to transfer and I use that event to both call a method in the parent and to do stuff with that value in the parent's method using eventBus.$on(event, value) If it helps, I'm trying to make an web browser extension for one of those start-page website bookmark dialers like 'infinite dashboard' or 'speed dial' where I click an empty card button, popup appears, provide an url and the card button saves that url and displays the site name for the next time you click it so you can navigate to that address (Most of the described functionality isn't implemented, I'm trying to learn how to do it) ---------> sendResolvedDomainToCardButton() in TopComponent.vue is the method that's causing the issue. (if the component separation looks weird, what I'm trying to do is to mostly or entirely remove dependencies inside the low-level components and let the high-level components take care of the details) I have no idea what the issue could be so I kind of have to copy paste the whole thing, sorry: main.js App.vue ---- the event bus is here TopComponent.vue --- this has the function that doesn't run ModalComponent.vue --- this is a pop up dialog that shows up when I press the CardButtonPlaceholder CardButtonPlaceholder.vue --- this is the button that opens the popup [link] [comments]  | ||
