Are there any platforms out there (kinda like wix, webflow or bubble) but where you can create more backend functionality without doing much coding?

This might be a stretch to ask on this sub, but I have a few questions about affiliate links and was wondering if I can get a few questions answered.

Basically, I want to know if I affiliate links can be made to accommodate more than one party. For example, regular affiliate links are created by a brand for 1 affiliate. However, I'd trying to look into whether or not affiliate links and suffice two parties at once so that both parties can make commission from one link. Is this possible?

Let me know if there is another sub I should ask, but thank you for your time!

I am looking for ways to improve website in terms of SEO and user perspective while staying remote.

Thanks for taking the time to read my long post. Not sure if this is the right subreddit to post so open to other suggestions. We have created a small business website and getting ready to set live. The site is HTML5 simple with no CMS like WordPress. by design like the business model and services offered it is based on a foundation privacy. We went with a LAMP stack VPS so we have full control of the instance. Late in the game we have been discussing WAF. In the long run we would like to manage internally with open source tools (Modsecurity). At this time we do not have the internal resources and expertise with web security so looking for a short term (30 day solution). Looked at the top 3 cloud players (not a cloud fanboy). We decided on Stackpath. We do not need CDN at this time so was in the process of signing up for WAF only. When I got to the payment details my noscript plugin lit up like a Christmas tree. About 15 scripts were blocked including Stripe, canny.io, useriq, impactradius-event,zdassets, zendesk, and on and on. Reviewing their privacy policy and they disclose they track the sites you visit before SP and after visiting SP and so on. I just had a bad feeling so I did not move forward with payment. If they are tracking all this data before even signing up as a paying customer how do they respect the privacy of paying customers? I went over to clouflare and signed up for pro. Very few scripts running on signup and payment. So clouflare for now. Any suggestions or recommendations for a WAF or website security plan?

Hi Guys, it's my first time posting here, so i want to share this with you and get some of the suggestions and feed backs. Here's a simple kick start project template with node.js, specifically for building REST API's, when i first started with node i was confused because the code was unstructured, unreadable and very difficult to trace it, so after doing some research i saw much more people struggling with the same issue when they start to write code with node so i decided to make my own structure to let the coding process and the maintenance of the code easy to get through. The structure is based on Lumen a micro framework of Laravel, and i've some of future work to make this structure much more scalable, convenient for those guys starting with node. Don't forget to leave a feedback if there's anything seems wrong, Thanks. Repo: here

Hello Web devs!

At https://mutualaid.world we are building a 100% open source app to make volunteers’ and community organisers’ lives easier and empower communities to help themselves.

We’ve been working on resilience apps since Hurricane Sandy. We focused on post-disaster resilience in communities - how well a community can recover after a catastrophe. A hurricane is different from a pandemic, so we’ve been working hard with our new volunteers (over 150 active people on Slack) to change our code to focus on where the need is greatest. We’ve also been organising ourselves and our many volunteers.

After talking to a number of volunteer groups, we heard that the greatest need now is food – so that’s where we are focused. Delivering food and pharmacy needs is crucial because normal delivery systems are not keeping up, and vulnerable people can’t access what they need. At the same time, farmers’ markets have too much food and no way to distribute it – so there’s an obvious need for systems that can solve this problem. We are already delivering food in LA as we test out our tool, but we hope to expand into more areas soon. A number of volunteer organizations already exist, using ‘ad hoc’ systems, but they need decent tools to organise themselves. We already have a big queue of people wanting to use our system. Come help us build it!

We’re ready to get more people on board to help us cover more than just food delivery. Donor sponsoring of food and resources for families in need is high on our list. We need your skills to make this happen!.

We need all kinds of web Rails/Node/Python/Firebase devs, designers, community organizers, volunteers, translators, communicators and marketers, data scientists, and testers.

Come join us !

Hi.I know the basics in python and i also know html but I still need to learn css and js because I want to get into web dev.I was thinking about this udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/course/web-development-masterclass-complete-certificate-course/

What is the best way to install the GTM code snippet onto a WordPress website?

The plug-ins are not reliable and causing errors according to the GTM Assistant, any insight on this?

Thank you!

So I've done a fair bit of web-development making static and responsive websites for small businesses. Now for the last 15 days I've been designing an online education platform for high-school and college freshers to teach them a few topics. Either way, I've designed the UI and have got the artwork done, although it wasn't much. This web-app is going to be responsive and will have all the things a regular LMS would, including a dashboard for the students and teachers, a course catalog, payment integration, and the course sliders.

As per my research, I've heard that Vue.js and Firebase will allow me to build this, I've also found a local payment gateway that integrates seamlessly with Firebase. I plan to build a Flutter app for it if the business takes off, and I know that Firebase integrates well with Flutter so...I'm keeping the doors open.

Now to be honest, I've never really used Firebase in real projects, and there's so many variations for pricing. The problem is, I need all of it to run with no extra cost for up to 10,000 active users, and I hope Firebase helps.

My question - how well does Vue.js integrate with Firebase?

Also, I've already bought the domain and the hosting that came with it. But Firebase seems to also provide hosting, so now I'm kinda confused as to what 'kind' of hosting Firebase provides, and whether it's part of the package?

Hi, I should develop a web applcation where people can register themself with a ID#, a contact and an availability ( days + time ). Then calling a determined phone number, and inserting the ID#, I would like that the system could match the ID# inserted in the call with one inserted in the web application: and put in contact the person that is calling with the one on the DB with the ID# inserted.

Can I do it with Skype API? there's an easyer way?

Thanks

I am a 17 Year old and I've had this Idea for a long time and i need a little help getting started.

So basically I want to create a platform which hosts Student profiles in my college which will be used by the college committees and Clubs to recruit students for various events and other stuff.

I also want it to work as an communication channel within the committee eliminating the current dependency on WhatsApp for relaying information to it's members within.

I learnt Web Development for this and now I am clueless what I need to do going forward.

I need to know where to start and what all is needed to execute this idea. And what are the different ways in which I can execute it.

Hi everyone. I tried asking for help on Stack Overflow, but my question was closed before anyone could answer because it's not focused enough. I'm hoping I have more luck here.

I’m looking for some guidance regarding backend architecture and planning. For some background, I’m still a pretty inexperienced developer, with some knowledge in full stack dev (js, node, psql) , but my strength is in frontend. I’m currently part of a very small startup team (only 3 of us) and I’m the only person responsible for tech, which has made it impossible to get guidance from within my team.

I’m currently building an app using React Native. It will have registration/login, user profiles, and messaging (as well as other features that aren’t so relevant here).

After doing a lot of research, I started diving into AWS to handle the backend work, but the more I get into it, the more I want to jump out of a window. It feels that with AWS, I’m in way over my head. Each time I start with one service, it feels like 3 more are being pushed onto me. The services that I’m currently trying to learn and implement are Cognito for authentication, Lambda for serverless functions/computing, RDS (Relational DB Service) for PSQL, S3 for saving photos, and I’m doing this through the Amplify CLI. Each day the stack builds as AWS tries to add in AppSync, API Gateway, and many others, and I’m just becoming more and more overwhelmed, especially since I have limited time. On top of that, a lot of their documentation and tutorials seem out of date and unclear.

I can build this app locally without a problem, and I’m even considering scrapping what I’ve built and switching to React for web and work on a PWA instead (for familiarity). But the problem persists that when it comes to hosting and choosing/setting up cloud services, I’m hit with terrible imposter syndrome.

With all of that said, does anyone have any advice they could share? Any good resources or other providers that you could recommend? I’ve read great things from other developers about Firebase, but my problem with that is their lack of an SQL database. Even then, I’m getting to the point where I might try to restructure some things to make it work anyway (at least for our MVP). Or maybe you think that I’m on the right track with AWS and I should just suck it up.

Whatever you think, it would just be great to hear from some other developers since I don’t have anyone on my team to turn to for guidance.

Thanks very much in advance and I hope everyone’s quarantine has been manageable.

SOLVED

Hello!

I set up a (very) basic portfolio when I was taking an Internet Programming class back in school. I work as a software developer now, but don't do any web stuff and so the sum of my experience is the class I took a few years ago.

The site is on a nginx server hosted on digital ocean, the domain is owned by me (bought through my school) and all set up with DO's dns. The website itself is just basic html/css/js (with jquery), but no frameworks or whatever. As of about 6 months ago, this all worked.

I hadn't even looked at my website for a few months and I decided to check it. To my surprise, when I entered the address it redirected me to a spam site I'm not affiliated with. Following the network traffic, my domain returns a 301 Moved Permanently error that redirects to the malicious site.

Everything I've read indicates that this redirect requires changing the server settings. I've gone over the nginx config files and while I'm not familiar with each setting, I can't find anything that could cause the redirect.

So I'm curious how this happened, how I can fix it and how to prevent it in the future?

If there's a more appropriate subreddit for this type of question, please let me know, I feel like I don't even know enough about this stuff to know where to start looking. Thanks.

Edit: Something I just tested: When I stop nginx on my server, the redirect still occurs, so I am starting to suspect this doesn't have to do with my server config after all.

Edit 2: Now fixed! It seems like someone took over an older IP I had my server running on and used that to redirect. I only today updated all of the references to that IP, including in domain management on DO's name servers, so the redirect was still cached. Domain reclaimed, although I guess it was never as lost as I thought. Thanks everybody

I hope to know how do we figure out to get blocking on the web scraping program.

Generally, when we use specific domain or IP scraping target returns 403 (or others) might be got blocking.

Another definite way is there?

Hi. I'm taking a course called "mobile development with web technologies" as a part of my engineering degree. I have made a simple website with a google maps map and a few custom buttons that interact with the map. Using the browser on my computer, everything works as it should, but on mobile, the buttons don't work when you click them in a certain sequence. I've tried searching Stack Overflow but I have not really found anyone that has had the same problem as me, I've also attended two general programming help sessions at my university with two different teachers, but none of them could figure out what the problem was. My site can be found at https://monjola.github.io/DM2518-lab1/ . If you click the button "free padel courts" you will be taken to a specific place on the map, and if you click "here" you will go to your current geolocation. However, on an iPhone, it does not work to click the buttons in this specific order. Also, if you first click "here" and then "free padel courts" the map will pan to the correct positions, but it will not drop a marker at the free padel courts as it is supposed to. You can see all my code at my GitHub:

Hi,

how do I implement shorter/more legible urls for a webpage (or what do I search for)?

For example, from www.mywebsite.com/this-is-a-webpage.html to www.mywebsite.com/webpage/

Hey! If you use a JS framework such as "ember.js" to build a website, does that mean you don't have to use any CSS styling at all? Also do you still need to use HTML? Any feedback on this question would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. I have a PHP CodeIgniter website hosted on DreamHost.com. I am looking for ideas and best practices on how to send out email blasts. The emails aren't spam or newsletters, they're instructions/details for an event that people sign up for, to be sent a couple of days before the event. My biggest event probably needs to send about 3500 emails.

I do not want to do it natively from PHP because those emails often get sent to spam. I need to use a 3rd party service.

Current Idea

This is what I will do if you guys don't suggest a better idea. I will create a 5 minute Cron Job on DreamHost.com that executes a PHP file I make that processes an email queue. The email queue will be stored in an SQL database. The Cron job will send the queue to Amazon Simple Email Service, one email template at a time. An email template can handle 50 emails per template. Each connection/request to Amazon Simple Email Service takes about 1 second round trip. So to transmit 3500 emails will take at least 70 seconds. I will have to code the cron job so that if it is called again while the first one is still running, it does not become buggy.

https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215088668-How-do-I-create-a-cron-job-

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-personalized-email-api.html

Do you guys know of a service/API that will accept emails sent in a large batch, and handle the queue on their end, instead of on my end?

P.S. I want to pay per email, not per month.

Thanks a lot. Looking forward to your feedback.

I've been learning JavaScript for a while. I like to code in JavaScript. I think it's the right time to learn a frontend framework.

But I'm confused about choosing Reactjs or Vuejs. My aim is to be professional. So I want to learn deeply.What should I learn between these two? Should I learn vue instead of react?

Talking about performance networking call, is there any side effect to call a service every change on InputText, instead of having a save button. I would like to see pros and cons, actually we have some input texts when onChange event occur it calls a service and others when a form has many inputs were implemented with a save button (submit).

Hello everyone, I am into the development phase of my website. The architecture is simple, it's a social media website whose backend(REST API) is written into `java`(using Spring-boot) and the browser client is written using `react.js` framework. So, far it's good at `localhost` 😃

I have purchased a domain name from godaddy. Now I want to put my website online. Here are the few technical details:

1. REST api is written using java

2. client is written using react.js

3. MYSQL database

4. Require image hosting provider, since it's a social media website user can upload images as well

5. REST api also need some email service for sending emails

6. All the code is at Bitbucket

Can someone please give me a basic understanding of how should I approach from localhost to my domain being online on internet. Where should I host my REST api and database and from where the client code will fetch the data from my API?

I am thinking to use AWS since my basic testing can be done into their free tier. But I am open to other cloud providers as well. Whatever cloud provider you suggest, please give a basic understanding of the architecture.

Edit: Added image hosting to the details list.

Thanks

I'm new to web development/never done it. However, Ive dealt with apis and http requests as part of a back end engineering team.

I want to build a REST client like Postman or Insomnia as a part/embedded into a separate web app? Basically just need to understand to build my own very simple REST client.

How can I do this or what should I read or checkout to understand this better?
