Does anyone wanna help test my Pinturillo rip-off? It's my first attempt at using node js and it's basically Pictionary in your browser. I'm probably gonna buy a domain and throw some ads on it but I have no idea how to build a playerbase. I'd also love some design critique because I had a lot of trouble designing things (especially the lobby) to look good on mobile while making use of the available space in a desktop window. I haven't tested it on all browsers/devices yet (no Apple) so let me know if it looks wonky. drawasaurus.herokuapp.com

whats a good place to start laravel beside laracasts
Daniel Davis
is she ill? her hand color is different than her face color.
I need a self-hosted headless/decoupled (whatever you want to call it) CMS, that lets users edit content in an admin interface, which I can then retrieve in the websites javascript with a quick ajax request.
Anyone got experience with ButterCMS, Directus or something similar?
Camden Robinson
pretty cool but you really should differentiate yourself from the competitors
Gavin Adams
sry, meant Cockpit not ButterCMS Butter can't be self-hosted
Caleb Stewart
I'm looking at the green start button on visual studio. What's the difference between starting "IIS Express" and starting "web"?
Grayson Myers
Is there something like The Odin Project, just concentrated on Python and Django?
Logan Sanders
In what way do you mean?
Evan Price
web will host it through its integrated kestrel server instead of iis express.
Jeremiah Hall
What are my options if I want a lightweight JS desktop application?
Caleb Collins
I'm just launching chrome with --app= Good enough for me.
Aaron Collins
probably electron
Angel Long
how big is an electron app?
Justin Ross
>he's not an asynchronous developer
Ryder Hughes
is this just bait for each thread?
how much help do you want from libraries? Like you can go vanilla and that will be as light as they come. But frameworks can help you to create an SPA and then all loading is in the front and you never have another page refresh (that's another form of light weight)
Angel Collins
I'd say its about 80-100 MB, it bundles chromium so
Ryder Green
my bad, its actually more. Postman seems a pretty straightforward app and its 175 MB
Logan King
I just need something really barebones with file access and a basic webpage
desu thats too large for what I want to do.
is it possible to run a .js with filesystem in the browser?
does allow me to do that?
If there is no way I should probably just do it in C#
Angel Morgan
Sourcecode plz?
This is ur first attempt at node.js i built so Many sht with node but nothing as cool as this just mock up websites
Adam Lewis
there seems to be NW.js too.. but it too is at least 75 MB (40 zipped)
>I just need something really barebones with file access and a basic webpage By file access, you mean importing files from the user's computer into the app? Do you need to store the image or manipulate it? Or does it just stay there in the client's app?
Jayden Morales
I want to read the contents of a directory on the user pc and compare it to a directory on the server and then output which files are different
Nathan Evans
It's called makeup
Kayden Hall
Then that is some very shit makeup.
Jackson Perez
What are you using for your front end code, react?
But you're going to need a back-end (not just JS) to export a snapshot of the directory structure there unless it's hard-coded (in which case, just use JSON to hold the snapshot)
Anthony Flores
uhhhhhh
JS?
Jace Scott
Hi, welcome to /wdg/.
Christian Garcia
trying to make a blog site, should i get the data from my github parse it and display it on my website, or use jelkyll(which i am unfamiliar with) Keep in my mind my site is built on React, or should I make anohter website where I post sht in a db n thn use it as an api for my blog
Jace Evans
Why don't you integrate the API in the same site?
Brandon Cooper
that would be a lot of coding for security, thats why I rather make another site and when I have time ill do code the rest
Henry Perez
dealers choice not sure how 1 site would be any less secure than 2.
Justin Martinez
Thy wouldnt know the other sites url
Cameron Rivera
am trying to implement a bitcoin roll game in which a pair of players rolls a number and the highest wins the pot. I'm trying to figure out the implementation details now.
1) Do I have both subscribe to one websocket topic and send em a message that the game started and to send them a JSON with who's the winner or the loser after I generate random numbers for them? 2) Do I somehow connect these people to each other and have em directly send events to each other? For ex user A rolls, the even of rolling and the number of the opponent goes to B, B rolls, the server decides who won the game and sends them both a JSON of the results? 3) Do I not wait for any events and simply decide two random numbers for the participants and just show em the results after they click roll?
Another question for Elixir fags, how do I make a socket available in the application generally so the server can relay messages btw the sockets directly?
Alexander Bennett
are you gonna play for real btcs or just pretend?
Nolan Cruz
security through obscurity is not security at all
Jose Moore
how do i kill an ajax request if its still running when i dont want it to?
Jordan Taylor
Do not trust the clients to do what you want.
Leo Cooper
ok i found out i can use window.stop()
if this the best method to stop pending ajax requests?
Ethan Lopez
Are you using jquery?
You can call .abort() on the request its self to cancel it.
Ian Gonzalez
nah raw js im just making a new xmlhttp object
Asher Howard
what are those i's anyway? Is there a proper name for them?
Hudson Murphy
the place where I started to work is complaining about bd performance and blaming mysql for that. could that really be the case? if it is, what would be good alternatives for their needs?
this is a really broad question and is begging for circle jerk.
Profile the website/client - what is taking so long? Is it ACTUALLY the database? is it an insert, or retrieving data? Which request is slow?
Check the tables this request is messing with, are they properly indexed? did someone do something retarded?
I use MSSQL at work but have equal experience with postgresql - you need to look into the actual issue.
Jason Price
What do you guys use for hosting? I have a number of small sites that I am going to set up for clients is there a good way to get a benefit from referrals when I sign them up for a shared hosting plan?
I need advice on books or resources to create a good REST API. Have any suggestions? Usually I pick anything by O Reilly, but unfortunately I have seen the reviews and the books seem to suck, any ideas?
Carter Rogers
any particular language or higher level?
Daniel Myers
I am focusing on Javascript/JSON, I am writing something in Node, but would like more data as how to design it better overall.
Gavin Foster
what are your thoughts on bootstrap components vs jquery-ui?
I'm pretty new and both seem to do the same thing, except bootstrap adds more bloat to the project while still depending on jquery.
Landon Perry
Is WordPress 'development'? I'm a data scientist and was mind blown when I found out my organisation's website runs on WP... We hire 3 full time developers, and our site is pretty static, no major frequent updates. WTF do these "developers" do all day? They all have art degrees and did some summer Ruby on rails course. I want to rebuild the site with Django and then make my CEO fire them and give me half of all their salaries. Any input from Sup Forums?
Cooper Walker
you can use custom themes in WP and a lot of work goes into making sure the themes work on at every resolution, on phones, etc. Its possible that they wrote a custom theme for your org or they modify an existing theme to meet your needs. It can be quite complicated but if there isnt any major changes to your site I'm not sure what they do all day. that said if they're all artists they might be UI designers or some shit.
Noah Smith
People did X in Y, I want to do X in Z and it will obviously be better.
holy shit this is painfully web dev
Ayden Brown
why do you want to remake the website if it works just fine?
Ryder Bell
Need some help. Let's say I press a button in my SPA to load some content. Now while it's loading I want to display a loading icon.
What events do I have to use to handle everything loaded -> requesting new content/loading -> done again
Elijah Cooper
To save the company money and to make money myself.
Landon Young
Oh in that case, carry on
Jayden Bailey
They're meant to do both front and back. I'll admit I have no clue nor willingness to learn front. But last week or so my CEO asked them to align a two buttons withing separate divs. They said it's impossible, lolz. They also told me it's impossible to count the amount of times files we host are downloaded...
Anthony Turner
> Caring about bloat
Care about whether it's slow and whether it makes it easier/harder for you to use. If you're a web developer you have basically no control over the performance of your environment where it matters because everything is a single threaded event loop.
Just worry about which one is easier to use and helps you maintain it
William Allen
Is it even an argument that Django > WordPress? WordPress is literally a blogging platform
Jordan Richardson
Although desu, I was intrigued by the react based front end framework based on Google design guidelines. Minimal ui or something like that? May have a look at it
Anthony Baker
What's a kiss-ass reason for why I would be interested in working front end dev at a marketing firm? I'm thinking something along the lines of "I want to work there because what better place to foster a web development career than at an internet marketing firm?"
Anthony Morris
You want to work in a customer-facing company to help provide an excellent user experience in their front facing products.
You're welcome. I've gone through many of these, but I hate front end dev.
Hudson Robinson
I'm actively looking to work at a marketing firm, rather than other industries, because I feel it's a sector where front end development is very much aligned with the core marketing ethos. I feel like front end is a significant part of both the product and placement in today's digital society.
Aiden Long
that's pretty shit. You shouldn't say anything that can be replaced with x.
say something about how a products front end on the internet is the website and you want to create memorable websites that will solidify their brand in your market segment that views the website.
Isaiah Garcia
Say you want to change the world. With ads.
Daniel Flores
you mean "make the world a better place"
Bentley Evans
So what is requirement to work as junior php web developer? I have done almost everything in php and still like afraid to send my cv to some company. I worked as freelancer but i want real job in company. I have knowledge of c++, java, php and js Dont really know good any php framework , i can build simple stuff in Laravel. In plane php i can do anything, i always write my code is always object oriented. Dont like seeing that half html half php codes red-pill me anons about real jobs
Jayden Walker
do you have a portfolio that proves you actually know what you are doing?
David Mitchell
...
Jayden Rivera
Well, is github enough? They can see my code there
Henry Young
You have to have:
> A portfolio > A website > A focus in a backend area
Elijah Foster
Sometimes it isn't enough, you have to showcase it
Gabriel Richardson
For the love of god, this.
We just got through a hiring round of ~8 developers. I don't want to see screenshots of your shit on github and then go through the code as well. Make a showcase, make your shit demoable. Make it easier it is on me and you're much more likely to get a call back.
Hudson Young
theres not really any way for them to see that your code actually works. Buy some cheap hosting and implement your code. or just host on your computer and never turn it off since it won't really be traffic intensive.
Christopher Scott
I don't use PHP. I focused on Javascript and Node.js instead but all I had on my github were some tutorial-level projects like a todo list and shit. No personal website, no portfolio. Got a job doing Node for a small company, its comfy and I get ownership over a codebase and get to solve fun problems rather than just churning out the same websites all the time.
Fill your resume with a huge "skills" section listing every language, library, framework and tool you've ever used. This will allow non-technical recruiters to match their stupid keywords easily and give you interviews.
If you worked as a freelancer you'll be fine, make it sound technical to impress the recruiters. You should have no trouble finding a job.
Oliver Ortiz
>Fill your resume with a huge "skills" section listing every language, library, framework and tool you've ever used. This will allow non-technical recruiters to match their stupid keywords easily and give you interviews.
Fuck me cause this works
Gavin Watson
Kek. I still struggle with the idea that we need to be filtered by some idiot who knows nothing about programming.
Camden Lopez
So what type of apps people usually wants to see? Most of the apps i made for myself are doing things with video/photo/audio files, use some linux app for its shit. Projects i did for clients were boring on the other hand. Like website for renting apartments, my biggest project was a storage inventory management system which needed to generate lots of PDF reports, calculate all type of shit and send bunch of mails with those reports attached. But i don't think i could show them this app for legal reasons Well i'm type of person that tests everything, that could be really long list
Jonathan Adams
For front end development, just demonstrate knowledge of what you're trying to get hired on. Something a bit more than babby's first TODO app, so I know you didnt just copy a tutorial and send it up.
Doesn't need to be ground shatteringly amazing, just not an obvious plagiarism and have something that shows off some knowledge.
Just doing this puts you ahead of the majority of candidates.
Nicholas Cooper
would i get a job, kek
Jonathan Ross
I don't know shit about front-end frameworks so I'm just using jQuery, probably a pretty dumb choice. The backend is Express and Socket IO and there's no database, I wanted to keep it simple so I wouldn't need one.
Evan Phillips
old shit newfag
Jason Sullivan
not with that GPA
Nicholas Powell
digital ocean instance, should probably look for something better though
Tyler Scott
Anyone know the easiest way to host a node.js app on a domain?
Liam Phillips
What's your favorite piece of syntax sugar in ES6?
Jayden Watson
You could use Heroku, alternatively a host which supports FTP, and has a bash command line should suffice.
Lincoln Rogers
Is there a book which teaches you Typescript from scratch? One which assumes you don't know Javascript yet?
Levi Scott
You should be able to use something like nprogress and hook it into your apps routing and http service
Evan Watson
How do I return whether a fetch was successful or not?
Imagine I have a function like this function myFunc() { return fetch(...).then(...).catch(...); }
is it possible to get a true/false back from the function?
