    PSA: When you reach out to a co-worker on slack tomorrow, don’t just say “Hey [firstName]” and then spend the next 12 minutes �� typing out your message.

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 05:22 PM PDT

    I'm going to spend the next 12 minutes distracted af thinking about what you could possibly be hitting me up for. Bundle your greeting with your question and send it all at once. That's not rude to do.

    The worst is when some peeps say, "Hey [firstName]" and then refuse to state their question or request until I reply. Stop treating asynchronous communication synchronously.

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    Cost for creating a web app?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 03:06 PM PDT

    Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can share their thoughts on how much is reasonable to charge a client for a full stack web app. For something similar to Fiverr or other online marketplaces that connects buyers and sellers, I know at minimum this requires payment integration, design and creation of a database, and all the routes in between handling things like cancellations, explore pages, etc. This would also include setting up all the hosting and getting the app deployed and running.

    I'm starting to get into freelance and I've had a few projects I've done already, but I have no clue what the proper price to charge clients is so I want to make sure I'm not lowballing or highballing. I apologize if my question doesn't have enough detail, any thoughts are appreciated!

    StarWars LightSaber (Obi-Wan Kenobi) with Pure CSS

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 03:37 PM PDT

    If I pitch an idea to someone for funding, can they just say no and hire someone to make it themselves?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 02:30 PM PDT

    Theoretically, could someone I pitch an idea (or a fully functional site) to steal that idea and have it made themselves? Is there ways to protect against this?

    How to market myself as a CUSTOM web application developer?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 12:24 PM PDT

    I want to offer web application solutions to businesses to help streamline their operations internally. I want to avoid the now flooded market of e-commerce sites, Wix websites, WordPress sites, etc. My skills aren't necessary for a website that could be easily created using modern drag-n-drop website creators. The question is, how do I enter that market? The clients who seek more complex web applications are likely going to be big companies or smaller companies with a lot of money. They will be looking for developers with a lot of experience. I have no real-world experience but am confident in the skills I have learned. How can I even gain this real-world experience in the first place? I could certainly find local clients who need simple static websites, but that wouldn't help me find the clients who need more complex solutions, right? Another factor to consider is that I am 16 years old and will be working by myself. How can I ensure clients take me seriously? I don't mind offering cheap work at first, but clients will assume that my cheap prices must mean that my services aren't good.

    TL;DR: As a solo, 16-year-old web developer, how can I find clients who need more complex custom web solutions? How can I market myself as someone who offers software solutions for businesses that will actually help streamline business operations—not just static websites. How can I gain the credibility to be taken seriously as such a young developer?

    PSA: Woz-U coding university screws over programmers:

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 11:19 AM PDT

    I am not a programmer. I know some basic HTML and build Wix websites but that's about it. My sister on the other hand has a computer science degree, has taught a computer science college course, has worked for government contractors and is all around a great programmer. Her last job was with a government contractor. It was a really good job with salary, benefits, etc but it was about an hour drive each way so she had been looking for something remote. Due to the 2 hour drive everyday she had been applying at other companies and she was so excited when she was hired on the spot for a remote teaching job at Woz-U (Steve Wozniak's coding school) Today was supposed to be her first day. She was all ready to start at 8am but began to worry when no one reached out to tell her how to start her training. Then around 11am she gets a email from the person who hired her saying sorry but they no longer need her. The position at her old job has been filled and now she won't be able to close on her house. She even has a contract from Woz-U but doesn't think it will do her any good since it has wording that is something to the effect of "We can change our mind and not hire you". This is just a warning, if you see that Woz-U is hiring they might screw you over so be careful. They really messed up her whole life and I will make sure their internet presence suffers because of it.

    Is it possible to force users to complete survey before sign up?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 11:36 AM PDT

    My client has a thinkific course and a brochure website advertising the course. They require specific data for their funders on student sign ups so they made a Survey Monkey survey to be completed before sign up.

    Brochure site -> Survey Monkey -> Thinkific Sign Up

    My question: how can I ensure users MUST complete the Survey Monkey survey. What if a student completes it, gets the link to the Thinkific sign up page and shares that URL? Any students signing up at that link would skip the survey.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    TL;DR How to force users to complete survey before getting sign up link, but ALSO ensure they cannot just share the URL of the sign up and bypass the survey.

    CORS policy help

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 03:40 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I am hoping for a bit of help with a CORS issue I am having. I am using an express server to create an API (my second project - the first of which works fine), and have tried my best to allow all CORS while developing using many stack overflow answers - none of which seem to work.

    I am hosting the API on heroku, and testing my app locally, using react native and expo. My auth routes seem to work fine and I am able to login and register/edit users etc... But some of my other routes that are just getting generic information (I am not verifying the user being logged in with any middleware for these routes if that is important) I am getting a cors error: "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' " on some of the routes that are post/put. All of my get requests seem to be fine.

    I am so confused as to why I am getting cors issues for only some of my routes between the same localhost and api server? Does anyone have any ideas on why this could be or any fixes? Or am I miss-understanding something about CORS and this is the expected result?

    Thanks in advance!

    I have great knowledge of HTML & CSS, but I wanna expand into dynamic and JS. What now?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    The story is this: I started with my HTML interest as a kid, then got introduced to CSS. As graphic design evolved, my CSS evolved, and eventually I basically mastered it. Now, with this knowledge, I can only make static, "boring" sites, and the only thing that makes them distinguishable from the old-school 90's or 00's websites is the design, or CSS. What now? More importantly, how do I learn dynamic web development and JavaScript? I tried some courses but it doesn't do it for me because I'm already good at the things they try and teach me first.

    Worried about working on a project for legal reasons

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 12:33 PM PDT

    So I just got offered to freelance a project for a guy that sells botted accounts for a game, as it is against games TOS I am worried about getting in legal trouble myself If he does. He is looking for an e-commerce website where he would sell those accounts because he has been doing it over discord and e bay only so far. Would I be at potential risk for providing him a website that sells products that are against the terms of service of a video game?

    Sorry if the question is a bit silly I am still pretty fresh in web dev.

    back-end suggestions to hide API keys in client-side AJAX calls

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 01:21 PM PDT

    Hi folks. I'm not a web dev by trade, so please bear with me.

    I'm working on a project that requires me to fetch, parse, and serve up some data gathered from XML and REST APIs. I'm presenting the data in an HTML table.

    I'm using jQuery and AJAX to fetch the API data and serve up the data as variables in my HTML page. I'm not storing/processing the data today (no back end today). I've got the mechanism working entirely on the front-end. The only problem is that anybody can see my API keys if they look at the HTTP requests.

    I need to hide the API keys from the end user. Any suggestions for a back-end platform to handle the API calls? I'm thinking to use a back-end to 'proxy' the api calls..? Node seems like it could be a good fit (since I'm using JS), but I'm open to any suggestions. I've worked with PHP before, so that would probably be my first choice.

    My app uses an Apache reverse proxy today to get around cross-domain requests... Could I use the rProxy to handle the API calls? I don't think this would work because (while I'd be able to browse to URIs), I don't think I'd be able to pass in an authorization payload within the header of my HTTP request. (I need to look into this more).

    Are there any how-to's or documentation that you can provide? My google searches didn't yield much. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    How to make Googlebot index internal search results in a SPA?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 10:49 AM PDT

    Hi there. For example, if I look up in google: "nvidia 3080 buy" I will see lots of sites selling technical parts. I'd like to implement something like that for my website. The problem is, I don't understand how I can make google index all different video card models being looked up so my website would show up during one. If you can point me where I can see something related to that it would be great. Thank you.

    I'm looking to make detailed app mock ups for the purpose of product development. I want to iterate on simple functioning designs and test those with users long before I do app development.

    Coding a Dogecoin stock ticker as a learning project?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 04:06 PM PDT

    Edit: Anyone willing to clue me in on why this is being down-voted? I need a Dogecoin stock ticker for a personal site & have decided I would like to possibly learn to code my own rather than embedding from another website. I have no clue where to start or what languages/resources to start with & thought I'd post here to see if anyone had any recommendations or would be willing to outline a sort of learning road map that would point me in the right direction on the path from start to finish. Thank you in advance for any help/input!

    People really out here charging thousands for WordPress themes?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 01:14 AM PDT

    I did some sleuthing around my city's local web design businesses. Masqueraded as someone needing a small site for their restaurant. Apparently a basic 5 page WordPress site costs anywhere from $5-10k. Reviewed most their "previous works" and almost all these sites are slow WordPress sites scoring terribly on Lighthouse. How do these so called agencies get away with this?

    Benchmarking JavaScript Memory Usage

    I'm a python/django full-stack dev but my client wants to keep his Wix site. Is adding code to Wix sites pretty straightforward?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 03:15 PM PDT

    I want to add features that Wix may not have. I'm hoping it's as customizable as I think it is.

    For my website, should I make a mobile version rather than making my website mobile responsive?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 02:35 PM PDT

    Say I am making an ecommerce website where users can look at and purchase for different products.

    Instead of having making my website mobile responsive when users try to visit my website on a mobile browser, could I just create a mobile version of my website, that is, a mobile app written in either Java (Android version) or Swift (iOS version) that's exactly the same as my website, except scaled down to fit mobile screens?

    I ask mainly because I'm bad at trying to make my website scale down to mobile size responsively.

    How to create a mailing list

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 02:02 PM PDT

    Hi, I'm sorry if this is such an obvious question, but how exactly do I create a mailing list. Like I'm creating a blog, and I want to have a pop up form that collects the users response. I guess my question is, how and where do I store these responses? And how do I link it to my gmail account. Itll be nice if you can point me to any resource that entails this, cause I've checked around and haven't seen anything.

    How to check if user liked post

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 02:00 PM PDT

    Currently i work on a social network and now im stucked how i can proof if a user liked a post. I use a MySql database and fetch the data with Apollo and GraphQL and as ORM Prisma. I store the likes in a extra table: user_liked_post bc of the m:n relation.

    I know i can simply fetch the user_liked_post table with all entries for the user and search for the post_id but if a user liked more than 1000 post than this is very inefficient a other solution is to query for every post if the user liked the post with the current user id and the post_id but is that rly the best solution???

    Whats your opinion ? pls let me know or give a other solution.
