    After putting it off for years, I finally released a new website and portfolio this year. What do you think?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:23 AM PST

    Sorry, some of you may recognise this was posted a few days ago: I missed the 'Showoff Saturday' rules and had my original post removed. Hopefully today it will be ok!

    ​

    I've been in front-end web development for nearly two decades at this point, my personal website has been a key way of selling myself for the decade or more. Inevitably, it has always fallen behind in importance compared to paying work so has only had two major updates in that time.

    During the Covid slow-down, I finally managed to get the latest version (which I'd been working on on-and-off for over a year) finished and live. Now that it's been up for a little while, I would love to get feedback and opinions from you all.

    The URL is https://johnkavanagh.co.uk

    With the very nature of web design, it's very difficult to do something a little 'different' - I worry that it's overworked. I've also found choosing portfolio items without stuffing hundreds in there really difficult.

    So: what do you think?

    Creating this amazing slide up effect

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 12:57 PM PST

    Hello, I'm attempting to recreate the slide up effect on this website https://alitwotimes.com/

    I'm just wondering what js library you would recommend doing this with? Would AOS or GSAP accomplish this? Ive used AOS once or twice but I'm not sure if its the right tool.

    Thanks for looking!

    My First Ever Portfolio !

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 10:05 AM PST

    After teaching myself how to code for about 8 months now, one of my 2021 goals is to actually earn money through that skill, so I thought about freelancing, and the first step I would take to approach that career is probably building a portfolio ! so here it is, I would appreciate any feedback !

    Edit: Technologies that were use here are html, css, javascript(vanilla js, typed.js, aos, highway.js, gsap), headless CMS (storyblok)

    Losing motivation. Help?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 03:14 PM PST

    Losing motivation. Help?

    I am almost 23, mid-high level on frontend (html sass js), low-mid backend (php) and I have been doing web for like 4 years now (jobs and freelance). I enjoy doing websites and time fly by every time I work. I used to put a lot of passion, trying to fix that 1px miss-alignment, I want everything to be perfect in my work but suddenly I lost interest and can't find motivation to push through.

    Even if I have 2-3 websites currently as freelancer I "don't wanna work on them anymore" but I don't know if it is just an internal crisis for me or idk.

    Maybe this job is not for me? Was too young (started at 16yo) when I decided to work in web dev? Someone can give me an advice? Is this what a depression is like?

    Junior web dev, created my portfolio and would love some feedback

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 04:31 AM PST

    Hey r/webdev,

    This is my first time posting here since I didn't have much to post before but I think now is a good time. After studying webdev for about 6 months, I finally made my portfolio site. It is statically generated with NextJS and showcases my last 6 projects with 5 of them being front+backend projects.

    I have no degree and I'm looking to get in to the web development field so I was wondering if the site is good and the projects I've done are enough. I didn't follow any tutorials for the projects so there may be some weird things but overall I'm happy with what I've done.

    The Linkedin and mail links are currently intentionally blank. I don't really have much knowledge on UI/UX so I understand if some things don't look the best, but I also have some questions about other choices:

    1. Should I remove the Contact section since I already have all of those links both in the banner and in the footer?
    2. Is it a good idea to have that "Self-taught" in the banner or should I just have it as "Web developer"? I may try to come up with a little 1 sentence introduction if both are bad.
    3. Are the colors nice or should I go for a more serious palette?
    4. I'll change the site title to my full name but I was also wondering about the domain name, full name would be very long so I may just go with first and middle name together but I'm open to suggestions.
    5. If anyone has the time a very quick resume feedback would be appreciated as well.

    Visit the site here. Thanks :)

    [Showoff Saturday] Nyomee - An expression parser API

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:53 AM PST

    Scraping a site for data to then use it on my site. What’s the most efficient way?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 03:17 PM PST

    As the title suggests I'm looking to scrape quite a few sites for data and then using it in my site for a things. I'm planning on pulling health stats from various countries that update every few weeks and putting them in a site that would streamline the data. It's ambitious for someone with little experience, but hey diving in to something I'd hoe you learn.

    Here is what I was thinking. 1. Scrape data a. using Python and getting it into a CSV b. using google sheets importxhtml abd leaving it there

    1. Pull that data and use it a. Somehow, I have idea b. this is not possible

    I'm not so much looking for code (yet). I want to try figuring it out on my own. I just want guidance and to know if there is a more efficient way to do this.

    Thanks

    Citing code?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 07:41 AM PST

    With the amount of resources and sharing on the internet what's the best practice/preferred method of citing a source? Let's say I find something really useful from a post, blog, open source, code pen whatever online and take elements from that. Would you put a comment in your code to acknowledge the original author? I saw a recent tweet from Sara Soueidan where she mentioned someone had taken code from something she did but referenced her in the comments or something.

    Need some advice regarding platform and design software for a website currently being completed...

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:59 PM PST

    I was originally going to have my e-commerce e-course website built using WordPress, which would have enabled me to easily make design/text edits in the future.

    Because of the complexity of the back-end, I wound up using the site-building services of a very talented and able coder, He's been great. Now my website is close to being complete.

    The only issue is that it was not built using the WordPress platform, but rather with HTML and CSS code. So I can't easily go in and make changes to text or design.

    Is there any way to migrate my website to a platform that would allow me to do design/text edits with a non-code visual-based interface? I've designed (non-complex) sites before using that kind of interface.

    What I need is the capability to design text, insert pics and borders, do page colors, text boxes and fill... just your usual text and design stuff, nothing earth-shattering. But as I understand it, the WP interface doesn't allow for that kind of non-template customization.

    So I guess it's a two-part question:

    Does a platform exist which would allow me to do that kind of custom designing and edits?

    What would it involve to move my website (built by CSS and HTML code, currently hosted on a VPS owned by the coder) to a platform that will give me the ability to do my own tweaks?

    FYI - the website is e-commerce with a learning management system incorporated and a lot of backend stuff (automatic emails, quizzes with a grading system, etc), that I have no intention of modifying - I just want to be able to do the design/text stuff.

    (Note: I have been given to understand that a shared hosting platform is insufficient and it needs a VPS like what it is currently on. Not sure how this affects the design interface question.)

    I asked the coder if he had a suggestion. He said WP would not do the kinds of custom design stuff I wanted, and perhaps to look into pasting the already written code into Dreamweaver. He wasn't 100 percent if that would work or be the best option, so I figured I'd put the question out there for other input. Btw, I'm posting here after posting the same question on r/tech support... someone there suggested I ask here. Hope that was okay.

    Any guidance? thank you very much!

    Made very fast App for tracking shows with React and Firebase

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 11:06 AM PST

    I've been learning web development and programming in general for the past several months and this is my pet project

    https://www.tv-junkie.com

    It's an app for tracking shows. I'm pretty confident to say, that the way I made it, the app feels very very fast.

    React with Firebase are working smoothly together and allows to make very responsive to user input interface.

    For information about shows I use TheMoviedb api.

    You may notice if you add enough shows, that the first load is pretty slow. This is because I'm using a free plan for Firebase and the backend it's not really doing it's job how it supposed to be. Some of the necessary backend stuff I have to make on the client to keep everything up to date for the user. In a real production app with a budget, all backend work would be where it belongs, but for a pet project I think that's fine, it allowed me to learn where everything is supposed to be, by doing the opposite, if you know what I mean.

    Feel free to share any criticism, advice, questions or what you want to see in the app, if you would like to use it.

    Error when trying to insert information into SQL

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:46 AM PST

    [SOLVED] Hey,

    I'm getting the following error when trying to insert information into my SQL:

    Warning: PDOStatement::execute(): SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: parameter was not defined in /path/index.php on line 174

    Code:

    $sql = "UPDATE users SET displayname = :displayName, profilepic = :profilePicPath WHERE username = :user";
    $stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
    try{
    $stmt->execute([ 'displayname' => $displayName, 'profilepic' => $profilePicPath, 'username' => $user ]);
    }catch (PDOException $e) {
    if ($e->getCode() != 1062) {
    throw $e;
    }
    }

    So apparently the parameters of the execute function are incorrect (idk why the error says "not defined"). I have no idea where the mistake is so after hours of searching, googling and trying around I'm now asking if maybe one of you guys can find the source for this error.

    A fully featured social networking application with Django

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 06:55 AM PST

    Hello to everyone. I wanted to share my open source project on a social networking application (which is a clone of ekşi sözlük, a popular social networking website in Turkey).

    I have been working on this project for a while now, and it taught me great deal about Django and JavaScript (you can clearly see the transformation by comparing the state of the project via commit history).

    I hope the codebase helps you in building your own applications. I am open and looking forward to your criticism. I am also eager to answer any questions you may have about the API/structure/mechanisms of the project.

    Notice: The entire project is in English, including docstrings/comments and strings. i18n support is available.

    GitHub repo:

    Finally updated my portfolio! Turned out better than I expected but I am sure that there could be areas where I can improve

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 08:27 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    Last month I decided to update my portfolio as I might be looking for a new role in the new year. Unfortunately there aren't many projects that I can put in there that's why this section has a few dummy projects at the moment but I am working on adding new projects and widgets. I used Gatsby (React) to build the project and I uploaded it on Netlify. Any suggestions and feedback is welcome. :)

    Here's a link: https://portfolio-nik.netlify.app/

    how do you query related data in SPAs?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 02:24 PM PST

    in my spa I often have to load a list of (lets say...) posts, but to display them in the frontend i need the users' avatar urls, and name alongside the posts.

    posts db would only have a userId reference. so how would you typically handle getting the required data?

    • do you call both /posts and /users in the FE and join the data on the frontend?
    • do you query both collections as standalone requests on the backend via the db driver, and join the data of both queries on the api level?
    • or do you join via the db itself? how does that even work with mongodb? i only know joins in sql

    maybe you can help me with what works well for you, and potential drawbacks of each approach

    A webapp whose server stores and sends the entire state up every second. This feels like a bad practice but I can't pinpoint why.

    Posted: 02 Jan 2021 01:34 PM PST

    My team owns a legacy React webapp with its own webserver, that has over 500+ deployed instances (server + webapp are coupled tightly together).

    The way this webapp works is that instead of doing API calls to the backend, it receives its entire application state (a massive json with 20+ nested fields) from the backend, every second. If it wants to change some backend state, it sends a websocket request, and the backend updates it accordingly, and then pushes the entire state to the frontend.

    I've never seen this sort of architecture before but intuitively it makes me feel like something is not right here. The big problem I can think of is performance, where the entire UI re-renders every second because its state gets updated every second. Any thoughts on this from more experienced developers?
