sounds super neat, will do friend. I was trying to push myself to do this back in August 2015 but never got around to it. Really need to buckle down. I work a 9-5 but I have no real life so I can easily redirect the 5-6 hours I spent up after work doing a few hours of coding.

>>60396904
best of luck, but be warned, it won't be easy. Learning is the easy part, the hard part is dealing with all the frustration that comes when you're fucking up and can't find the reason. When you spend the whole day trying to fix your code and it turns out you were using [""] when the correct thing was {''}, or you import the header files but you import them in the wrong order so nothing works, you just get so pissed you wanna smash your computer and go jerk off to 2D anime trannies.

Really, for me the hardest is not the learning itself, but dealing with all the bullshit surrounding it. Getting your IDE properly set up, getting git to run (with the shell, not the lazy drag-and-drop), compatibilizing your software version with the one from the book you're studying from. Just don't let it wear you out. Remember, we're all gonna make it.

Anyone here has used Microservices?

I'm doing a flask app, and would like a lightweight document noSQL document DB to live on the server with the app until I build out some hardware for it.

What would you recommend?

Are dynos from Heroku the same as Doker's containers? Can I run mutliservices on dynos and they'll work as well as in Doker?

How do you offer users the light version of your site? I looked it up and SO recommended using a JS timeout to trigger a user notification.

The problem being that if you have a server problem - the load event may never be fired. Any ideas /g/?

I don't give a shit, fuck the user.

Has anyone here ever made anything with Phaser.js? I'm thinking of making a cute little mobile game, maybe wrapping it in react native and putting it on google play for $0.99 or w/e. It seems like a meme but so far im impressed with how quickly I could slap together a prototype, and it seems like the strongest contender for JS vidya frameworks.

How do you guys deploy web apps? I've developed a weak little app and I've been struggling to figure out how to get this thing uploaded. Websites are much easier, but the buzzwords and choices on AWS and IBM Bluemix are killing me.

It's just a shitty little MEAN application. Need to figure this out soon. Help? Any advice? Would be forever grateful, I gotta get this up soon.

>>60399009
Containers and dynos are not the same type of thing. In fact, you can run docker containers in dynos.

Containerisation is an alternative to virtualization (like virtualbox), the difference being containers share a kernel with the host OS, and virtual machines do not. This makes virrtual machines much more slow to start up and more taxing on your computer, which is the cost of supposedly more security. There is much debate about the pros and cons.

Heroku is just a layer on top of aws EC2 instances to make it more developer friendly. Any server + db combo that runs on linux can be run on Heroku just like AWS' EC2 + RDS. Dynos are merely how Heroku measures how much stuff of theirs you are using so that they can charge you. Dynos are not used anywhere else and you do not really need to worry about dynos or how they work unless you are specifically looking at your app to optimize for cost when deploying on Heroku. However, it doesn't make sense to put int he effort to do that unless you are a business that is reachinc considerable scale. For learning and side projects, just deploying to heroku should never be to costly, unless you are intentionally writing an app to use as many resources as possible as it's primary function (why you would do this, I don't know).

>>60399156

Yeah, phaser is pretty cool. i made a small paltformer with it, and a flappy bird clone with my roomate's face.

Is anyone here into server-side rendering?

Some things I've noticed.

>Only vroomjs and only v8 is actually cross platform, anything by taritsyn seems to be exclusively Windows and can even break vroom
>it's plausible react.net, or packages associated to it, are deliberately broken and breaks too often to be normal, vroom won't work with it even if it works on its own as of writing
>Babel does run on v8 3.1, don't bother using requirejs just refer to it as "Babel", aka Babel.TransformFile. Only libraries that use the document variable don't run.
What's interesting here is the possibility people are deliberately breaking their own packages or making it only work with obscure settings. I strongly suspect its a webdev pro thing to write your own JavaScript Babel interoperability code because it's deceptively simple and so extremely powerful. I suspect everyone has a project that pools vroomjs and then runs Babel with it.

After my experience in this, I now completely believe the powers that be think web dev would be too easy and too powerful with server-side rendering. The "contributors" posting literally broken code who happen to have Microsoft connections says it all. Microsoft don't like how no one would use mvc and razor if reactjs can be used instead.

If this gets out, web dev becomes too easy.

Not sure if I should post here or in /sqt/ but here it goes.
Long story short I want to make a chrome extension that posts a random op or reply from /pol/ to a discord server me and a few buddies are part of.
I don't need any help with the discord api or creation of the chrome extension because they're very nicely documented. My problem comes from my complete lack of web dev knowledge and being bitch slapped so hard by Allow-Control-Allow-Origin that my head is still spinning. I just now saw that 4chan has an API but as stated earlier my complete lack of web dev skills prevents me from knowing how to use it. If anyone could point me in the right direction for starting to understand the API and how to pull individual posts from /pol/ at random from a chrome extension that would be super appreciated.
TL;DR
Anon is too fucking stupid to understand how to use the 4chan api and is groveling for help.

>>60400256
You really think the company that created the whole "only Indians may be paid to code" wouldn't stifle web development? They're literally the kind of idiots that would have people excavate with teaspoons instead of trucks because more jobs.

No, it's actually a possibility that Microsoft, or more likely Facebook who have always had lefty leanings, is actually making this difficult on purpose so more people can be employed.

>>60400401
An API has different meanings depending on the context, but in this case it refers to a web server that can return data in JSON format. Once you have that JSON you can manipulate it and feed it to the discord api. You need to use http methods to talk to a web API, e.g GET, PUT, POST or DELETE. In this case, since the 4chan api is read only, the only ones you'll be allowed to make are GET requests. I recommend you download the Postman chrome extension, its a gui for making http requests, and its pretty essential for debugging web apis. I hope this helps.

I want to have some weird repositories for Git and I don't know if it's possible.

I am making a framework, and I want two different groups of people to get the latest version of it, but from their branches they each can do some upgrades and changes, that I want to accept and change back to my main branch.
The problem is, I don't want each other to know that the other branch exists, and I want them to be at different locations/servers

Is this possible? How would you do it?

>>60403497
depends on what your coding setup is. I was using VisualStudio2015 (for C#, obviously), with 4gb RAM, and it was utter shit. Granted, my laptop was shit overall, it was the cheapest Acer I could find, which I bought before I started coding.

So I bought a Lenovo T430, 8gb Ram, i5 processor, everything runs smooth and fast. I also use PyCharm, and it works great, never had any problems.

If we're talking about github you can just create N branches and assign the people (groups if you have premium) as collaborators.

Then you just merge your branches manually.

I bought a used T420 for very cheap, I thought 4GB would be a problem (I has 8GB on my previous box), but it really isn't.
Memory is very rarely the bottleneck due to it being so cheap. Nowadays everything comes with 4GB minimum so people don't always realize just how much memory is that. Just run "hfree" yourself and check just how many times you go over 2GB... Probably very rarely, and above 3GB, I'm gonna say never.
If all you do is have a ton of tabs open one of them being an HD video, your computer would be fine on 2GB even.

thank you for the absolutely unwarranted expletive

I have a web application that I developed using PHP and MySQL. One of my clients need it to also be available offline because a few of his offices have shitty internet connection.

Setting up a local server that syncs from time to time with my current online server seems to be the easiest option as those places hardly ever need data from other offices, but I dont know who is going to be responsible for those servers and can't trust them not to steal my code/product.

GNU/Linux with LUKS on all partitions is what i think would be the best, they wont be able to start the machine without the volume key though, so be sure to add an big UPS to the server.

What CMS is best if I want full control over the look and feel of my website (I don't give a shit about themes), but I want someone else to be able to edit the content of the site without having to actually go into html files? I guess preferably a wysiwyg editor, but just the ability to edit text files or something simple like that would be ok.

Basically I'm going to handle the actual design of the site myself, but I need it to be easy enough for a non-programmer to edit content and possibly deploy the updated stuff to a host.

From what I've read, Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal are the most popular options. I've also looked into Jekyll.

Does anyone have experience with any of these?

I'm working on a wordpress site and I'm trying to create a very specific effect. I'd like the active section of the main navigation to have a box shadow surrounding it with absolutely no shadow on the bottom. I've been able to achieve this effect through giving the main content div a solid background and a higher z-index than the nav div but this clearly isn't the right solution because then the dropdown menus are hidden behind the main content. Is there some clever positioning I can do to make this sandwiching of divs work? Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

>>60413920
I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding exactly how your setup is laid out. Which div has the box shadow? And is the other div covering it on the bottom?

In any case, I think you have two options:
1. Use a separate div solely for the purpose of covering the box shadow. (Assuming that won't cover up some content in turn.)

or

2. Force the dropdown menus to be on top of the other divs. Put an invisible div at the level where you want the dropdown menus to appear. Give it a transform:translate(0,0) property. This makes it the new frame of reference for any descendants with a position:fixed property. I think if you make the dropdowns fixed, they should be in the same stacking position as the invisible div. (You can also just add that transform to a div at the desired stacking position.

>>60412625

fuck that just have them remote in

>>60413666
there are plenty, ghost and wordpress come to mind

Jekyll is amazing for dev bloggers, there are some products you can stitch together to give yourself the wysiwyg editor, but for clients I don't recommend at all.

Wordpress is popular for a very good reason, it gets a lot of bad rep due to being bloated and insecure but that can be avoided by not loading everything under the sun as a plugin for a simple site.

>>60415125
Thanks for the info, I'll look into Ghost. But I'll probably end up going with Wordpress, since everyone seems to say it's the easiest for non-technical people, and it looks like a lot of hosts integrate with it pretty seamlessly, which are both plusses.

Okay guys another quick question, you may know me from >>60400401 and after a day of messing around I finally got what I wanted. (please don't laugh too hard)

    var httpGet = new XMLHttpRequest();

    httpGet.open("GET", "https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://a.4cdn.org/pol/catalog.json", true);    
    
    httpGet.send();

    httpGet.onreadystatechange = function(){
        if(httpGet.readyState == 4 && httpGet.status == 200){
            var test = JSON.parse(httpGet.responseText);
            var ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * (test.length));
            test = test[ranNum].threads[0].com;
            return(test);
        }    
    }    
}

console.log(testing());

Okay so it does get the info I need and I can get it as a string which is perfect, the only problem is that when I put the meat of the code into a function and then call said function it'll error out saying "undefined" so my question is, how do I make the

console.log()

or anything else that invokes the

>>60418457
You may want to set onreadystatechange before you call send().

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/onreadystatechange

The 'return' statement in your function doesn't go anywhere. You need to call your print function (console.log()) from within your onreadystatechange function.

Alternately, you could pass a function into testing() and have that function called as part of the onreadystatechange function. Then your call would be testing(console.log). Or something similar; I don't usually work in JS.

>>60419626
Thanks for the reply, I'll give these a try when I'm back at my PC.

        httpGet.open("GET", "https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/https://a.4cdn.org/pol/catalog.json", true);    

        httpGet.onreadystatechange = function(){
            if(httpGet.readyState == 4 && httpGet.status == 200){
                var test = JSON.parse(httpGet.responseText);
                var ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * (test.length));
                test = test[ranNum].threads[0].com;
                resolve(test);
            }    
        }

        httpGet.send();
    });
}

    console.log(test);
});

I've had some success just reading the docs. It's probably a good idea to start by glancing through the http docs. The request, and response classes are probably the things that you mostly need to learn to get started, along with the basic setup for the server class.

Break your app up into pure functions where possible and test those with unit tests.
Create mockup versions of any 3rd party services and use dependency injection to swap out the real services for them.
Use an end to end testing framework to automatically test the app in a browser environment.

Node's builtin http module is pretty simple. You can learn pretty much all there is to lean about it on the official docs, but it's kind of a pain to do anything with it though since it's so low level. If by "want to learn and use node" you're talking about something other than web stuff, it helps to search for "node clustering tutorial" instead of just "node tutorial".

>>60422458
>how your project directory should look
There's no such thing since you can put everything in one file or split it out however you want and it still works fine.
The way I usually do it though is:

app
  index.js // main entry point for app
  routes
    index.js // routes for /
    users.js // routes for /users
  tests
  models
    index.js // use fs to import every other file in this dir and export from here so you can import { User, Foo, Bar } from "models/index"
    User.js // user model
  lib // put any lib-like code in here, arrange as necessary. As an example:
    middleware // put your middleware in here
    helpers // put your helper functions in here
  config
    config.js // .gitignore this.
    config.example.js // sample version of config without any sensitive data

That said, there are tons of beginner tutorials on express, meteor, and sails if you know where to look. (although last I heard sails was falling off in popularity due to insistance on using old, unsupported versions of things and a fork/clone trails.js looked promising but was still in its infancy. No idea if that's still going on or what though.) Also imho meteor teaches you bad habits and you should probably stay away from it until you have a good understanding of what it does.

I checked for a specific html string on one of the valid pages using strpos() and used it as a conditional, it was actually pretty easy.

I have an event listener on four buttons which when clicked will detach the button and show an answer. When the next button is clicked, that previous answer will be detached and the button will reappear. Sometimes this works flawlessly but a lot of the time the event listeners will disappear from the buttons. Is this meant to happen?

The script also won't output any console logs to chromium (other scripts work on other pages) but they work fine in firefox. At a loss as to why.

var buttons = document.querySelectorAll('button');
var containers = [];

buttons.forEach(function(button) {
    containers.push(button.parentElement);
    button.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
        switch (true) {
            case event.target == buttons[0] || event.target == buttons[0].firstChild:
                showAnswer(buttons[0], 'No');
                break;
            case event.target == buttons[1] || event.target == buttons[1].firstChild:
                showAnswer(buttons[1], 'Yes');
                break;
            case event.target == buttons[2] || event.target == buttons[2].firstChild:
                showAnswer(buttons[2], 'No');
                break;
            case event.target == buttons[3] || event.target == buttons[3].firstChild:
                showAnswer(buttons[3], 'No');
                break;
        }
    })
})

function showAnswer(button, answer) {
    var div = button.parentElement;
    resetAnswers();
    button.detach();
    var p = document.createElement('p');
    p.style.fontSize = '10pt';
    p.style.paddingTop = '18px';
    p.style.paddingBottom = '17px';
    p.style.margin = '0';
    p.append(answer);
    div.appendChild(p);
}

function resetAnswers() {
    containers.forEach(function(div, i) {
        if (div.firstChild.nodeName == 'P') {
            div.firstChild.detach();
            div.appendChild(buttons[i]);
        } else {}
    })
}

Is there anything fundamentally wrong with this?

>>60425210
that detach() should be a remove() by the way and to clarify, the event listener disappears after multiple clicks through the answers

Okay so I literally just started trying to learn HTML and CSS within the past couple days, I still suck but I'm trying.

How do I center everything on a page when only using HTML5? I cannot use CSS. I've tried <center> and <td align="center"> and a couple other things I googled, but to no avail. What do I do?

>>60425437
<center> should work e.g.

<body>
    <article>
        <center>
            <div>
                <h1>Hello</h1>
            </div>
        </center>
    </article>
</body>

>>60425486
I have definitely tried that and it did not work.

It's for someone else, they have a profile for their job and wanted me to center the text for them. It works in my text editor, but when I actually go to apply it within the website where the profile can be edited, nothing works. It's very frustrating.

Doubly frustrating - it timed out and I don't know the password for the account because they said they'd rather type it in than give it to me.

React question:


How do you make a <select> like menu in React?

>>60425486
So only one <center> is needed for an entire page? Or is it something required for every paragraph?

>>60425779
You can center individual or multiple elements

>>60425182
>strpos
Yeah use something that doesn't break the moment page changes even a little. Like regex.

>>60425831
Thanks, good to know that. But the problem is that the <center> and <td> tag doesn't work at all. If I use a text editor like Sublime Text (welcome advice for another), I can visibly see the changes. But the website in which this person has a profile has a section for editing HTML, when I use those tags, it does not change anything. Is there another tag that centers text? Or would I have to adjust margins for each element?

Anyone have any tips or know of any libraries that can be used to show thumbnails of a link? Kind of like how when you post a link to FB you can see the little previews.

>>60428584
I don't know if it has a more official name, but I'd probably call something like that a collapsible/expandable section.

>>60428669
Facebook just grabs the image specified in a meta tag in the site's header. There are tags for the image, description, and title that will show on links for that site when posted to Facebook. The image one looks something like this:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://some.site/image.jpg" />

(The "og" is for Facebook's Open Graph protocol.)

You can do this yourself pretty easily by just parsing the url's html data and grabbing the image. Note that you will probably have to do this on the backend due to cross origin request being blocked. (Maybe just for the html parsing; you can probably rig something up with iframes to show the images.)

I have a database in sqlite, and one of the attributes in the database is a list of countries. How do I get Django to spit out the individual countries in the list, one by one?

>>60429070
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction I'm looking at the amazon source right now to try and find it. I'm trying to figure out how it's universal as in pretty much every single link will do this. I've seen it done on another website where you enter a link to a product and a preview shows up.

>>60429176
Pretty sure Python can interact with sqlite via a library. You could yield the results and call next() on the generator object.

If they're not playing, then you should just grab the thumbnail and show that, like 4chan does when you hover over the [embed] button. And then when you click the image, actually embed the video in that spot.

What's the real benefit of learning and using SASS? I mean, nesting and defining variables is kind of neat but other than that I don't see needing it for a styling simple page.

Why are divs inside of a bootstrap col-xx-xx automatically 100% width?

This is fucking up my div buttons. How do I fix it?

>>60433482
there isn't much to learn, it's just basic CSS with variables and some minor tweaks/improvements. it's just handy changing a variable instead of having to go through your CSS or having to write massive selectors when not using nesting.

>>60433503
divs are block elements, they are always 100% wide.
in that case they should be 100% of your parents col-xx-xx element.

if you mean something different post a codepen/jsfiddle or some example.

Parent/child margin collapse occurs when a child's margin touches its parent's margin and collapses as a result.

I've read that specifying a border will stop this from happening. Padding definitely works.

However, my example in this jsfiddle pen doesn't stop collapsing if I specify a border-top on the parent to separate the child margin from the parent margin.

Is this just some weird quirk of jsfiddle?

Remove the inline PHP for a minute. Does it still do the same thing?

>>60442799
the file also has to be .php and you need to run it through a php server such as using the command php -S localhost:8000


But your issue has to do with extra space around action and using the same double quotation " mark twice in the same action field. You need to use something like

action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>"

notice the single quotes ' used inside double quotes "

additionally you probably want to be using htmlentities instead in this case

this book is a general intro to OAuth, if I remember correctly it was language-universal. I think all auth models today follow the general oauth standard, so read this and then you'll be able to use oauth or code up your own library.

Regarding portfolio, would you just decide to make some sort of program or is there maybe somewhere where people have ideas they wanna see brought to life that you can contribute to?

>>60445316
thanks for your interest

>>60445447
your portfolio doesn't have to be original, it just has to show you can get the work done. When a company hires you as a junior, they don't hire you for your brilliant ideas and creative intuition, they hire you because you can code up shit than works.

That's why all portfolios will look the same: a reddit clone, a blog manager, an instant messaging app, etc. You could try cloning youtube, spotify, whatever, your employer just wants to see how well your shit runs, they don't want you to come up with the new app that will revolutionize the world.

>>60445532
Okay, that's reassuring. I'm sure I can always come up with something relating to a game I enjoy or just try my hand at cloning something like you said.

How long had you been at it before you got your first job, and what do you think really sold it when interviewing/applying?

Someone in my I work with got a domain for our company, but didn't put anything on there till the new site was made. This was 5 months ago, will this have negative effects on Seo because of inactivity on the domain?

>have an affiliate website, brand new
>for some reason the affiliate says I send through dozens of visitors a day
>my new website doesn't even get so many visitors according to my google analytics
I dont get it. Are these all bots?

The links are nofollow and excluded in robots.txt so they shouldn't visit it. I even have honeypots to ban bots that click on all links. So i find this highly strange.

>>60446003
No. Domain age is beneficial. Regardless if you use it.

But having a basic frontpage and a link towards your site would have been more beneficial.

Is AJAX still the standard? or is there some other memey shit in now?

>>60446044
is there anyway to get a free webpage?
but not like
>mymemepage.wordpress.com
or
>mymemepage.blogspot.com

but something like
>mymemepage.com,
but free and with complete freedom to design it as i wish?

>>60446638
Github pages + a domain name. only for static files though.

>>60446673
>only for static files tho

static means I can't have a database and fetch different types of data to display on a page, right? That would be dynamic, I guess?

>>60446638
Some domain registrars like Gandi allow you to create your own website using their very simple website builder and host that.

Why does my symfony project work fine if I run it from console, but doesn't work at all if I run it with php and nginx enabled?
I change literally nothing when switching.

>>60446702
yeah, just html files.

>>60446752
But in that case you have no freedom in design. Just some ugly templates.

document.getElementById("hit").onclick = "hit()";

is this not how you assign an onclick through js? whenever i try to do it like this, the button completely breaks for some reason
also, is there a resource you can recommend me for js? i'd hate to have ask questions here every time i run into a problem i cant get google to solve

>>60446462
standard for what?

>>60446891
Communicating with the server after the page has loaded.

>>60395387
>discord
Trashed.

>>60446847

document.getElementById("hit").onclick = hit;

the problem is not google but you not using it correctly. there's a good answer in the first link when you enter "assign onclick javascript".

>>60446901
depends on the use case. you can use either ajax or websockets

>>60446947
thanks anon
>the problem is not google but you not using it correctly.
yeah that's what i meant by "a problem i cant get to google to solve". of course google has the answer

>>60446638
Specifically for a free domain name, look into freenom.com. They have free domains for certain TLDs like .tk, .ml, etc.

You can use github pages for free hosting, as another reply mentioned. There are a decent amount of places that will host things for free, but most don't allow you to use your own domain.

I'm totally new to web dev so I've gone ahead and downloaded some site templates to try and understand how shit works

Please look into error log.

I'm just learning about handling cookies and stuff, pretty cool shit. This is from a book:

>You must first perform a check to see if the cookie you want exists. Checking the request parameter parameter will allow you to do this. The request.COOKIES.has_key('<cookie_name>') function returns a boolean value indicating whether a cookie <cookie_name> exists on the client’s computer or not.

>If the cookie exists, you can then retrieve its value - again via the request parameter - with request.COOKIES[]. The COOKIES attribute is exposed as a dictionary, so pass the name of the
cookie you wish to retrieve as a string between the square brackets. Remember, cookies are all returned as strings, regardless of what they contain.

So this is why cookies are so dangerous, it's nice to finally understand the underlying mechanism. So are there any cool cookie exploits you guys know? Any cool info I could steal from my visitors' cookies? Looking for ideas/suggestions, just for fun's sake.

>>60449599
also, does this mean I can set up a website which reads all the cookies my visitors have, even from other websites? So this is how those pesky ads follow you around, huh? You look for dragon dildos on amazon, and then every other site you visit is trying to sell you dragon dildos, right?

>>60449859
cookies are per domain, you can't read cookies from other sites.
those ad trackers work by embedding some 3rd party domain and setting cookies there, like the facebook like buttons which get loaded from facebook directly to set their cookies on the facebook domain.
that's why you should always have "accept 3rd party cookies" disabled.

>>60448272
Not that guy, but what is the point of this? Just a complicated hack with class names so that you can write "100%" as CSS class in your HTML?

It's amazing how powerful reddit is. Before I posted there I was getting maybe 20 views a week. Afterwards? 4k unique hits a week.

My previous biggest site has been going for 3 years and only gets 2k unique hits a week.

>>60455999

>>60456762
I can't link you without making a blog post about it.

Fundev.tv, the shitty bootstrap site.

Most people use the timer.

I just finished making a game voting app (after bitching about how hard it was here for 2 days straight) where each follower/subscriber can vote on games for their streamer to play. The streamer can select the top 10 voted games or 10 random games. The games are listed with the title as Amazon affiliate links...that part took several hours. I put the Amazon affiliate link maker on github because the Amazon documentation is wrong twice and there were no working examples anywhere for v4.

Once I get around to designing and making a few more tools I'm going to apply at Twitch. Dream job, man.

Also got trip 9s twice in a row.

How am I supposed to learn web dev when there is like 200 frameworks to learn to even get started?

Holy fuck. Shit changes every week and I just can't even tell what people are talking about when I try to learn..

I think you need a "user script" for this. Look up Greasemonkey.

>>60459456
my reading comprehension is 0/10. Well... what tool are you trying to add with your button?

As a programmer, the web dev agencies do not expect you to know about design, right? RIGHT?

I suck at design and do not give a shit about it.

>>60446847

document.getElementById('hit').addEventListener('click', function() {
  hit();
}

I think what you are thinking about is the onclick attribute for HTML which could similarly work like:

<div id='hit' onclick='hit()'>
<script>
function hit() {
   //...
}
</script>

Though, I think the top is neater.

>>60459672

Design helps regardless, but I could see if you are backend it wouldn't matter too much (it would just be one of those things that are good to have in your back pocket). If you are front-end/fullstack you should have good design skills.

In a lot of those places you are expected to do work on front too. If you are lucky it only means making existing html work with backend.

A callback to a function I've written. But really that shouldn't matter.


I've already made a bookmarklet, and a keyboard shortcut to activate it.
What it does is send an AJAX request to my home server, which causes the url specified in the GET to play on my home theatre.

small criticism, I played it for a bit and some of the things we had to draw were really dull... journal, ghost, boring shit like that. Are you the one coming up with categories or is it the users? Because you should put some work into that, make it more interesting.

>>60463502
I would let users submit drawing ideas, then the admin just hoes through the list and hits accept on the good ones

>>60463611
but do you build up one single database with all ideas, or are these generated per session or something like that? Because either way, you should make sure to add a few good ideas, users can be dumb and uncreative. Again, where's the fun in drawing 'journal'?

>>60463874
A db with column id, draw, approved.

Approved default 0.
The idea goes into draw.

If approved 0 then that shows up to admin in his panel. If 1 then it gets loaded into whereever his vote array is.

I feel like node is a safer bet for someone starting out, you get to keep practicing your javascript and there are a lot more jobs in it

>>60458448
Start with the most basic stuff, just html, css, and javascript with no frameworks or anything. I tend to avoid libraries for the most part.

Once you get to larger scale projects, maybe consider using one framework like React or Angular or maybe Vue on the frontend. Mostly though you can and should get by loading as little extra javascript as you can.

Some tools are exclusively on the backend, like grunt or gulp for automating your build process or babel for translating new javascript features into more widely compatible ones. And there are languages that compile to javascript, like coffeescript and typescript.

All of this stuff is optional though, so you can add in one new thing at a time, as you feel it's needed. Remember, you can do anything without using any libraries at all.

>>60463502
Yeah my bad, it's hard to come up with a huge amount of random words so ones that aren't great to draw end up making it in to fill space. I'll cut it back and focus on quality over quantity.

>>60464835
Let users suggest them.

>>60464746
as a programming project, pretty cool. The only thing is it won't let you save/download unless you've filled in EVERY fucking field, which is annoying as hell. You should make it so that it allows you to leave emtpy fields, fuck it.

As an actual app, you know the use or effectivity of those things is very limited, right? Except for the physical aspect (and even then, it rarely works...), all the other matching items are bullshit. We don't really know what we are attracted to, so all those compatibility tests are shit.

The people at OKCupid have said that their matching algorithm is just a number that doesn't correlate at all to what happens when people meet.

Psychologists have determined that one of the strongest predictors for whether a marriage/couple will last more than 7 years is whether they have the same sleeping schedules (that is, they both like to go to sleep at around the same time). That's it, that's the most reliable indicator. Maybe you should include that on your list.

I got this feedback when I showed it to a friend a while back, so I'll probably do this. It's an easy fix on the frontend, and it should be an easy fix on the image-generation backend.

>>60465545
>How may hits are you getting
I haven't gotten many hits since this I hadn't told anyone about it yet. A couple people managed to find it and make charts a week or two ago (somehow).

>what are you hosting it on?
Frontend is hosted on GitHub Pages, backend is hosted on PythonAnywhere. Didn't bother with Heroku since I didn't want to deal with the hassle of remote file storage for the generated charts (I cache them so they don't have to be re-generated if the information hasn't changed).

Will reply to any more questions or feedback once the new thread is up.
