    I've seen many websites claim 57% of users leave a webpage that takes more than 3 seconds to load but I can't find the original study. Does anyone have a good source for this?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 05:41 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I'm working on a research paper in the field of Website Preformance and I've found an article that claims that 57% of people leave websites that take longer than 3 seconds to load. This article cites no source for this claim but I imagine it was done in some sort of study.

    Another claim is in this article which says 53% of mobile users will leave a webpage if it doesn't load in 3 seconds. They link to a page of google but not directly to the data and the only 53% figure I found on that website is this.

    Here is a third article claiming 1 in 4 people abandon a website that takes more than 4 seconds to load. I found this page with an image (claim is at the top right of the image) but not an actual study.

    Are there any studies that make a link between loading times and percentage of people leaving the page? Does anyone know of a paper that might relate to this?

    How do I recreate the effect on the slack website?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 02:24 PM PDT

    https://slack.com/

    You have to be logged out to see the effect, but when you start scrolling, there is a parallax-esque effect. Do I do a transformation based on the y values? If there's a repo that has a similar effect I would love to look into it

    P.S. I use react for my development.

    Does anyone else have constant worry about lay offs when you have been laid off once?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 06:31 AM PDT

    Let me start by saying that I got laid off from my past job as an IT tech and I got my first job as a Jr Web Dev. Do most of you guys have slow periods during the week where there is no work going on? I have long periods where I am just sitting around with not much work from clients and every time I start to worry that there is not enough work and I will get laid off again like my last job. Is it normal for you guys to go a few days just sitting around with no actual work? I usually use the time to learn more JS concepts etc but I am always worried about the future.

    It is like I get stressed when there is a couple of work items on my plate and it feels like I have to prove myself and get them done great and then there is the other part where the downtime I feel like I have nothing to do and cannot contribute.

    Is it possible to upload an image to Imgur from client side without using server resources?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 09:44 AM PDT

    So, I'm making a website, where I allow my users to do some stuff using images. So, first I'll make them upload an image of their choice to Imgur from my site. After that, I want to process some stuff on the server-side. I'm using Node JS for the server and I'm currently using imgur-npm package to do this stuff.

    ​

    The problem is, the image uploading process through my server to Imgur is taking too long and I'm afraid that they might rate limit my IP address.

    The process is simple on the server-side. I take an image, convert it to base64 string and upload it to Imgur. I want to do the same thing but on the client-side. I'm currently stuck at uploading images to Imgur from the client-side. I implemented an ajax function to read an image and convert it into base64 encoded format.

    ​

    All I need is to upload it to the Imgur from client-side so that I can reduce the server's busy time. Any help would be appreciated Thanks :)

    Should I pay someone for speeding up my website, or switch to elementor?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    Hello.

    My webpage is http://logotype.png.studio/pl/ , i'm planning working on my SEO, and one of things on my list is improving webpage speed, which is poor at the moment, especially on mobile.

    One of factors is probably a slow server, which I'm already dealing with.

    The other factor - I'm a graphic designer, not a web developer, but it seems the page runs lots of scripts.

    I'm using Oshine (that's strongly based on Tatsu builder), which is a cheaper alternative to Elementor.

    So I'm wondering, is this Oshine fault? Would switching to Elementor speed up my website?

    Or should I pay a specialist to speed up my current website?

    Need advice, as i don't have the budget to do one of those things, have no result and then need to invest in the second solution.

    Deploying backend and mongoDB on Digital Ocean

    Posted: 06 May 2021 01:16 PM PDT

    Hi, i am building an app that should support <10k users. But i just found out Mongo Atlas free tier supports max 500 connections.

    So this might be a dumb question but, if i host my mongo on digitalocean can i use it fully for whatever i pay for it? And can i host my backend app and mongodb on the same droplet for budget reasons?

    Thanks.

    Generic semi-dynamic page component in Next.js?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 12:56 PM PDT

    So I am building a e-commerce site and I am using Next.

    Every category page is basically the same and to make the code a bit nicer I am trying to make a generic component I can just use on each page and I have some questions about it.

    First of all I am getting the category from the path, is that good practice or should I hardcode it since the path is "hardcoded" anyway?

    Second, the component itself has a Layout and a Productlist, it also has 4 imports, 2 for the components and 2 for the getInitalProps, I would want to put all of this in a component so I can just have one import of this component and each products page would look quite clean. I noticed that childcomponents cant use the getInitalProps, so is this as clean I can get my code or can I achieve this some other way?

    Page.getInitialProps = async ({ pathname }) => { const category = pathname.substr(pathname.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); const res = await client.query({ query: PRODUCTS_BY_CATEGORY(category)}); return { products: res.data.products.nodes }; }; export default function Page({ products }) { return ( <Layout> <ProductList products={products} /> </Layout> ); }

    Do I need to list licenses of modules I used on my portfolio?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 12:48 PM PDT

    When I was looking at Discord's website, I saw that they have a page dedicated to showing their licenses. I decided to copy this and put licenses for the modules I used on my portfolio website.

    I also listed all the modules I used in a separate "acknowledgements" page, which is like this page on Discord's website.

    However, I'm not like a big company, so do I really need to show the licenses on my little portfolio website? I made a script to just generate the page for me, and it's really hard to update it every time I install a new module.

    GCP App Engine pricing questions

    Posted: 06 May 2021 12:20 PM PDT

    I can see every user gets:

    • 28 hours per day of F instances'
    • 9 hours per day of B instances aswell as
    • 1 GB of egress per day.

    I get what the instances are, each have different specs and such, I'm guessing these instances only spin up when it's in use? What does it mean by hours per day? Are they referring to the number of hours any instance can run for before a charge incurs or?

    I'm guessing anything below 1GB of egress means 1GB or below of traffic a day before a charge incurs?

    Question regarding employment application form

    Posted: 06 May 2021 03:57 PM PDT

    How difficult is it adding an online employment application to a website? My boss wants to add one and has asked me to help. I program a coordinate measuring machine in the aerospace industry, which is a completely different language. I am pretty good with computers but other then messing with some template websites, it's been quite awhile since I messed with web development.

    I need a new Gulpfile... js, scss & php

    Posted: 06 May 2021 03:55 PM PDT

    I would love a new Gulp workflow for js, scss and php. I made this repo a while back but it's deprecated and doesn't work well.

    I just want a simple, fast, clean Webpack 5 and / or Gulp 4 solution to bundle js and scss and watch php (for which I usually just use gulp-connect-php). No bells and whistles.

    Thoughts?

    What is the workflow like for a UI designer in the age of css-in-component etc?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 03:50 PM PDT

    As so much of the styling is handled at a component level like styled-components, how would a UI designer work in a modern app dev team? Do they sketch out designs and have the Node/React guys translate it into .css files and css-in-js? Or do they tend to be savvy enough with things like React to be able to create it themselves? Thanks.

    Best React + NodeJS tech stacks in 2021?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 11:59 AM PDT

    I'm starting a new web project and doing research on potential tech stacks for it... I've decided on using React + NodeJS both w/ TypeScript but that still leaves a lot of options. I'm looking for opinions on the best choice in each category below that will scale well and stay easy to expand/maintain. I've compiled this list of options with a short description from their homepage or wiki. Am I missing any?

    Backend

    • Express -> Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js
    • fastify -> Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js
    • koa -> Koa is a new web framework designed by the team behind Express, which aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs.
    • hapi -> Build powerful, scalable applications, with minimal overhead and full out-of-the-box functionality
    • NestJS -> Opinionated Node.js web framework. Build on top of ExpressJS, can be configured to use Fastify
    • tsoa -> A framework with integrated OpenAPI compiler to build Node.js serve-side applications using TypeScript. It can target express, hapi, koa and more frameworks at runtime.

    Frontend

    • Create React App -> Create React apps with no build configuration.
    • NextJS -> Next.js is an open-source React front-end development web framework created by Vercel that enables functionality such as server-side rendering and generating static websites for React based web applications.
    • Gatsby -> Gatsby is a tool for creating static websites with React.

    Frontend State Management

    • Redux -> A Predictable State Container for JS Apps
    • Mobx -> Makes state management simple and scalable by transparently applying functional reactive programming (TFRP). Anything that can be derived from the application state, should be. Automatically.
    • MobX-State-Tree -> MobX is a state management "engine", and MobX-State-Tree gives it structure and common tools you need for your app.
    • RecoilJS -> A state management library for React
    • Zustand -> A small, fast and scaleable bearbones state-management solution. Has a comfy api based on hooks, isn't boilerplatey or opinionated, but still just enough to be explicit and flux-like.
    • Unstated -> State so simple, it goes without saying

    Social login - How to deal with different ways of signing up

    Posted: 06 May 2021 09:37 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently working on a new project which involves a sign up process using Google/Facebook/traditional password. My question is how would you handle a situation like the following:
    User signs up using Google. I save his google_id, name and email. He logs out and tries to sign up using the traditional way using the same email I got from his Google account and a password. What's the best way to deal with this?

    I've met an old man on the streets with some incredible typography skills and I'm trying to help him make a profit out of it. We never talked much and I'm not quite sure if he has an actual home. I have no idea on how this kind of job works but I decided to take a chance on here and see if y'all can point me to the right direction.

    Thanks in advance.

    RPC or REST for banking applications

    Posted: 06 May 2021 11:30 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    Currently, I have joined a very new bank's IT sector in my country. They told me to develop a system so that other parties (like mobile wallets, e-commerce, payment gateway) can easily pay through the bank.

    I wonder, what system does any bank use? Do they develop REST API or RPC based APIs on top their core database for this purpose?

    Thanks a lot.

    Best way to use UpWork to find Front-end Engineers?

    Posted: 06 May 2021 09:09 AM PDT

    I have been searching for a front-end developer through UpWork,

    https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~019a9ba8a793c3ad7e

    and have had a good experience with the platform so far, but sometimes get overwhelmed by applicants and find it hard to identify the right candidate.

    ​

    The candidate would also ideally be interested in the topic area - we're making a dating data analytics app, which may seem like a niche focus, with a current tech stack of streamlit, python/plotly, Amazon S3, heroku, and trying to transition from streamlit to something more aesthetic on the front-end.

    ​

    Was wondering if you are aware of good approaches to identify and filter candidates. Any tips to share?

    ​

    I'm marginally familiar with django, react, vue.js, but not an expert to be able to determine who is legit.

    ​

    Thanks for any suggestions - really appreciate it.

    Best (and cheapest) place to host a Node.JS API app

    Posted: 06 May 2021 11:16 AM PDT

    I'm looking to make a project of mine public, currently I have everything hosted on either localhost or my home server. If I'm going to make this public I'll need to stick it on some bigger solution.

    I have spent a load of time making a robust and secure Authentication API using Node.JS and I'd like to use it, currently it's running as a web app on my home server using docker and Apache as a proxy to point a subdomain to it.

    I don't want to use a VPS as such as it costs to run even when it isn't being used, and I don't think something like lambda functions would work well for an authentication API?
