Let me know what sort of resources you use! Not sure if this is allowed (if not, I'll remove it), but this post is also a thread on Twitter — if you could support the thread, it would be much appreciated. I'm trying to grow on Twitter :) [link] [comments]  | ||
| After 14 months of development, I sold my project and switched to UI/UX area. Long story�� Posted: 13 Mar 2021 03:46 AM PST I'm pretty sure many developers want to create their own dream projects and get passive income. After all, most of us have enough skills for building stuff. Plus, the Internet is a wonderful place: I keep on being amazed by the fact that just sitting in a cafe with your laptop you can literally become a millionaire. A few months ago I posted here about my product, in the Saturday Showoff section: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/jh7xre/ive_spent_a_year_building_an_uptime_monitoring/. In the post, you can find screenshots of the app & technical details. At that time I was full of enthusiasm since I started getting new sign-ups almost every day, and I didn't know where they came from, so maybe it was even a word of mouth effect. But having a developer mindset, I made quite a lot of mistakes, and couldn't manage to get any profit at all: servers costed more. I didn't want to close the product, since I had users, I had users who bought lifetime licenses (like using the service for free forever). So I was trying to work on it, but motivation kept on falling down. Then suddenly someone asked if I want to sell the product. Right from the chat widget on the site. I told him that I didn't expect that someone will pay enough to cover my development costs, and I didn't want to sell it for a small price. But to my surprise, he agreed to pay quite a large amount of money. Guys, I cannot disclose the price, even though I asked the new owner a few times, he prohibited doing it. But roughly I can tell that I covered the development costs if we calculate it like (hours spent * hourly rate), with the hourly rate being decent in my country. This is despite the fact that the product was unprofitable. 😮 He said that he knew how to make it better, he wasn't going to close it. So I'm really excited about it and want to see how it ends. I want to share an emotional moment I had This paragraph is pure vanilla emotion stuff but I really want to share it with someone. After I sold the product, I was feeling good: I got a lot of money (for me it's a good amount), and now I don't have to mess with code, bugs, servers, expenses, etc, and I can start something new. But then I decided to write a story about it in the community where I was active during the whole development process + on Twitter. I was sitting in a cafe and was writing it, describing everything from the beginning, describing lessons I learned and all that stuff. There was sad music in the cafe in the background. So I finally wrote it and the stopped for a moment. And literally, I thought about the time, when I used to go after work in random cafes to work again when I returned home late at night. I remembered the music which played in different places I code, remembered the weather, remember how I told my GF when we were in Starbucks that this was "my chance to earn some decent money and it's important for me". Omg, it was really emotional moment. Probably because of the music playing in the cafe :D Then I posted it and kept on staring at the laptop for a couple of hours, very very sad. Felt like I lost part of my soul, literally. That's what I wanted to share 🤷♂️ What now? Now I decided to study the area which I like a lot. I have not just a developer mindset, I have a "I can make this product look better!" mindset. I really like UI/UX area, and that's probably one of the problems I had: I spent too much on making the UI better. For now, I decided to share my learnings on Twitter. Since I'm a developer myself, I know how hard it might be to make a good-looking user interface, that is also good in terms of UX. So if you're interested, follow me on Twitter, I'm not selling anything there. I don't hide the fact that in my future plans I want to write a book when I'll be ready and sell it, but these are future plans. For now, I just enjoy sharing my knowledge and learn from others too. Wish you guys everything the best: let the code be clean, let the sells (if you sell anything) be high, let the UI be nice :) haha [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 13 Mar 2021 02:33 PM PST TL;DR -- Generally speaking, are there any glaring financial downsides to approaching software development from the web first, instead of a native, mobile app? Regardless if it's a finished, one time purchase or a subscription based product? --- Problem -- Let's say you want to develop some software, and you want to go down the website/web app path first, rather than the mobile app path. How do you reconcile that it's typically easier for an end user to buy your product via the app store rather than via a website? Or do you disagree with this premise entirely? Maybe my problem statement is flawed but my concern is, with Apple Pay being baked right into iPhone these days (and whatever the equivalent for Android is), buying an app has never been easier. I chose the app, double press the button the right, scan Face ID, boom app bought. I know there is Apple Pay integration on the web, but from a user's perspective, do you think it feels a little different than buying an app directly from the app store? Or does it feel different than making an In-App Purchase with Apple Pay? A more generic question -- Do you think there are any glaringly obvious financial shortcomings to approaching this from a website/webapp first as opposed to native, mobile app? As for the tech side, since this is r/webdev after all, the main reason for wanting to go web first is familiarity and comfort. I've developed multiple mobile applications through React Native, but I do enjoy just the web a bit more than mobile apps because I don't feel as constrained. I'll take whichever approach the client wants for my freelance work, but this is my own project/product, so ultimately I have the say. --- TL;DR -- Generally speaking, are there any glaring financial downsides to approaching software development from the web first, instead of a native, mobile app?

| What does it feel to be a junior web developer? Posted: 13 Mar 2021 01:03 PM PST I'll soon start applying for positions and want to know what I should expect from my first job. What are some thing that surprised you? What do you wish you put more effort into? What are your daily tasks? If you fail to meet deadline what happens? Sorry if it feels chaotic, I'm just a nerve wrack and impostore syndrome is doing it's part pretty well. [link] [comments]  | ||

| What should I change about my website to attract clients as a freelance web dev? Posted: 13 Mar 2021 08:05 AM PST Hey everyone, my website is at https://saadiya.dev I feel like something is missing in it. I wanted to know what changes I could make to it attract more clients for my freelance business. There are some issues with the design, which I know is. I'm looking to know more about what elements I could add or remove for this. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Looking for some people to do less serious web dev with, like for fun and to mess around. Posted: 12 Mar 2021 06:44 PM PST I'm looking for people to do some low stakes and fun focused coding with. We could have a group chat where we submit entries to prompts or just try to make each other laugh or have fun with our code and programming thoughts and creations. The point of this is to have fun and make things to enjoy, and learn while doing it. I want this to be very low stakes, not super serious, and it would be nice to build a sense of community with some other coders. I can set up a slack or discord to house this. Let me know if you are interested, thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 12 Mar 2021 08:51 PM PST Disclaimer: There is no data behind anything here, and it is all based entirely on my own experience, idiosyncrasies, and complex neuroses. I doubt there are any universally applicable truths below, but I hope some of it is helpful, and at the very least encourages people to keep going, especially those following a non-traditional route. A bit about myself first. I've been programming off and on for about 20+ years (though there was about a 5 year gap where i didn't own a computer), 9-10 professionally or semi-profressionally, and the last 8 of those almost exclusively in web development. I've worked in research groups, a small web agency, a multi-national company, and now I head a team at a company that's not really a startup anymore. There was also a period of freelancing and failing to start a company. I learned to program in high school but didn't study CS in college. So while I do have some formal education in systems programming, data structures, algorithms, as far as application development, I'm mostly self-taught, but I was fortunate to work with several wise people along the way I never planned to do this professionally. It just kind of fell into my lap and i ran with it. I also got started on this career path a bit later in life, so I have some insight there as well. And like I said, I've been running interviews for a few years. AMA about what I've learned. Preemptive low-hanging fruit:

| Posted: 13 Mar 2021 01:43 PM PST I have this idea for a single file web application. Has there been something similar done before? I work with University Professors. Sometimes my clients need some data analysis (or other computation) done for their classes. If I could get them a solution which is just click-and-use, that would be ideal.
These first two limitations also preclude other solutions; For example, having them install Python and running a script. Also, the sensitivity of the data makes it difficult to have it leave their computers for legal reasons; I can't just have them use a jupyter notebook from google. Finally, my clients have a variety of levels of technical expertise and so the simplest solution is probably the best one. A main attraction of using the browser is that it has an integrated sandbox with a (fairly) uniform platform across OSs and hardware types. These theoretical single-file-web-applications seem to address all the shortcomings outlined above. With a little research the closest I can find is: https://conroy.org/self-contained-web-apps But there seems to be exactly zero published code. [link] [comments]  | ||

| MVVM vs MVC vs MVP vs 2-Tier vs N-Tier architecture? Posted: 13 Mar 2021 09:03 AM PST Hi, I am trying to learn architecture design but getting confused on these types. I sort of understand MVVM, MVC, and MVP and I think they are mutually exclusive (?) but where does 2-tier and N-tier come into play? Can MVVM also be 2-Tier or N-Tier? [link] [comments]  | ||
