| Non-paying client cloned their new site from my test server using HTTrack and ghosted me Posted: 22 Apr 2021 06:47 AM PDT It's the first time I had to deal with a problematic client like this. I agreed on doing their website for $5000. They turned out to be a troublesome client from day one. I asked for a 50% advance and somehow they talked me into paying only $500 for now so I can get started and that they'll pay the remaining next week. I assumed I can trust them (big mistake) because I met them personally at their office. Work started progressing and they kept stalling. They kept asking for numerous changes and increased the scope of work, which I did. I ended up finishing all the work and set up their PPC campaigns also within the next 4 weeks and there has been no sign of payment from them. Every time I followed up with them, they asked me to add some new shit on their site and this went on for another month. Finally I decided to put my foot down and said there won't be any more extra work until what is owed is cleared. They told me they won't pay me a penny since I'm not willing to finish their site to their complete satisfaction. Their site was hosted on my test server and I refused to hand it over until it's paid. Today I saw that they conveniently cloned the site using HTTrack and hired someone else to take over. I don't want to pursue legal channels for recovery and waste time and resources so I'm letting this go, but how do I prevent this sort of thing from happening again? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 07:36 PM PDT Has there ever been a scenario where you were looking to leave your job (for any reason, doesn't really matter) and you informed your manager you were going to start looking for another job? I've had two separate managers for two separate companies tell me I should tell them if I ever get to the point of wanting to find another job. I never have because it always seems against my best interest. I have definitely said "I'm unhappy because A, B, C." or "I'm really frustrated because of reasons X, Y, and Z." But I've never directly said something like "It's getting to the point where I want to start looking for another job because of ... <insert reason>" For those that have, how did it go? For anyone who is like me, and never has, care to share your experiences and thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Backend: how do I create a customer specific realm? Posted: 22 Apr 2021 11:29 AM PDT Scenario: I want to build a SaaS. I've used software before that upon signing up, created a "realm" by appending the company name at the beginning of the url to track usage/billing. Example: <my_co>.google.com If I were to do that, do I need to take further steps when I register the domain "SaaS.com", or is it similar to "SaaS.com/<my_co>" routing? My experience is with Django, flask, and Vue routers, so if anyone can equate those in their response, I'd appreciate it! Thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Noob question: I made a website, now what? Posted: 22 Apr 2021 07:01 AM PDT So I spent the better part of 8 months making what is by far the most advanced website I've ever done (still a student). It's a gift website for my sister's bussiness, could you advise me on how to actually get it up and running? It's a generic blog/shop website made mostly with PHP, MYSQL and a little Javascript. It also has a bit of Bootstrap in it. Question 1: Where can I buy a domain name and what exactly do I do with it once I buy it? Queston 2: Is there a hosting service I could buy/rent to host the site (it should be able to handle php and MySQL if that's even relevant - sorry I'm still very new to this) and use the baught domain name from Question 1. Question 3 - Bonus: Do hosting services handle newsletter options? I've made a very budget php script that just forces a gmail address to send mails, but I'd like to use a more profesional address handle, any advice? Thanks for your patience and reading through this lengthy post :) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 22 Apr 2021 12:23 PM PDT Before you say "just look like up on Google, there are already a ton of articles on this topic" I KNOW. I specifically want to have a discussion about it on this subreddit hence the flair. So a little earlier today I posted an article I found that says that JWT Sucks and give reasons why. It seems to have a split opinion for web developers. (I assume its due to what kind of web app you are building) But I was curious about one response that I got in particular.
This was one of the responses I received. I was wondering how true it is: Does JWT REALLY protect an authentication newbie like me from doing ANY wrong whatsoever? Is it really so easy as to just plug and play and I won't have to worry about security risks? Is this really what this subreddit is about, just telling newbies to just implement things without any real context as to WHY? (Especially when context has specifically been requested) [link] [comments]  | ||

| How would you guys go about creating a marketplace search? Posted: 22 Apr 2021 09:21 AM PDT Hi guys, I'm having a go at creating a marketplace and I would like to implement a search feature similar to depop, eBay, etc. The app currently is built with ReactJS/Firebase, with Algolia integrated for database searches. I went to start searching my indices and then I realised, when you search for an item on the likes of eBay or depop, the suggestions given to you as you type are just keyword suggestions. The one you choose at the end is what actually gets searched. (that may seem completely obvious but I didn't really think of how it worked until I begun trying to make one.) So, since I am not directly searching through my indices when the user is typing in the search bar, how would I go about getting giving keyword suggestions as the user types? The process I have in my head at the moment:
I'm still very new to web dev as a whole, so although that method makes sense in my head, it could be stupid or perhaps just plain wrong. How would you guys do it? Does the logic make sense? TIA! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 22 Apr 2021 04:43 PM PDT Hey everybody, I would like to use an API and retrieve data from a website. However, I couldn't find if they have any API or tool that can do same work. Then, I've found a github rep which is entitled by "Website.com API" which I was looking for. Since i know that it is not an official API, should I still rely on this guy and use his code to get data? Is it insecure? Is there a thing called 'reliability' in APIs? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Blurry images (PNG) on some browser Posted: 22 Apr 2021 03:54 PM PDT I see that many reputable companies (e.g. Yahoo) uses a PNG file for their banner logo. I'm following suit, yet I get a slightly blurry banner image when I open my website on some browsers (Windows10 Chrome). Is there any way to circumvent this without changing the filetype entirely? I understand SVGs could be a solution, but I'd rather not pay $10/mo for a vector magic subscription. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Understanding "cached" pages, "crawling" and "indexing" Posted: 22 Apr 2021 03:53 PM PDT I live in Canada. Recently, I found out I was being impersonated and defamed on twitter. I immediately reported this account on Twitter (start of April 2021) and it was suspended. The problem is, (broken) links to this defamatory Twitter still appear on public Google searches when you type in my name. When you click on the links, it says "this account is suspended" - but the links contain a preview to the defamatory content. I am trying to remove this information from public Google searches. I used the "remove outdated search content tool", and submitted all links to this broken twitter account (I believe these are now "cached" pages). Some of the requests were accepted, some of them were denied - but all the links are still visible on Google (the only good news is that two pictures from this twitter account no longer show up on google searches). I also submitted a legal request to Google to have this content removed on the basis of defamation. It's been a week since I have submitted these legal requests and I haven't heard anything back. The last thing I am hoping for, is that Google will automatically "crawl" and "re-index" these broken links and eventually remove these "cached" pages by itself. Is reasonable to believe? Has anyone ever dealt with this kind of situation before? I honestly don't care about my family and friends seeing these links to the defamatory content - but I am more worried about potential employment related consequences. Surely, if you can prove that this defamatory content was maliciously posted by someone else and you are actively taking steps to remove it - your employer can't hold it against you?

| How can I align items by using flexbox in a row with equal margins? Posted: 22 Apr 2021 09:18 AM PDT Hi, However, whenever I use justify-content: space-between for the margins this is the result I get: https://imgur.com/a/tNNnayf. How can I achieve the same result as shown in the first picture by using flexbox properties? Thank you in advance.:) [link] [comments]  | ||
