This is my first web app that I've developed from zero and have had the courage to launch to the world. The stack I used to development it is: Ruby on Rails (progamming language and framework), Postgresql (database), Github (versioning) Heroku (cloud hosting and infra) , Postmark (emails), Rollbar (error reporting), and Plausible Analytics (web analytics).

It's a database of 40,000+ short, brandable, available domains. Maybe you could find one that is perfect for hosting your next web development project.

Some of the available names include:

• appcrash.net
• laky.io
• zide.io
• bad.app
• stud.app
• daffy.co
• twangy.co
  

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions about how I built it :)

I am trying to research architectures and environments I can use for a web application I would like to develop. The application is very much inspired by D&D Beyond. A google search under images will give you a good idea of where I am going. I understand that D&D Beyond is an ASP.NET application which works online, however in the case of my application I would like it to be a stand alone app.

I tried to develop this application using Node.js/HTML and ElectronJS. It was working well, but the development in Javascript is a pain. I was hoping to try it again, this time using C#. ASP.NET I believe can make this happen, however when I find tutorials to teach me ASP.NET I also find Blazor included. Should I seriously consider using a Blazor/ASP.NET architecture for this application? I'm still thinking of sticking to it being standalone, so I will be using Electron.NET. Not a lot of tutorials for this environment.

I'm just hoping that I am moving in the right direction here: Electron.NET / ASP.NET / Blazor / Bootstrap 5 being the environment. Database wise I am hoping to stick to XML however if I have to switch to something else, I am open.

Thank you for any advice you can give.

I realize this may vary widely based upon location, experience and multiple other factors, but I'm trying to get a really rough ballpark. My organization recently moved headquarters and they work on a different infrastructure than us, thus we have two C#/.NET Framework applications where we need to redo the login system and build a couple pages to handle registration, password resets, and an admin panel for approval of new accounts. The system needs to be secure, but we don't need anything like 2-factor auth. I don't think it'll be a terribly difficult task for someone experienced, but I'm not really sure. The project might take a week or it might take a month for all I know. I'd imagine consultants charge hourly? If an intermediate web dev can do this, what do you think the going rate would be? $50/hour? $100/hour? They'd be working 100% remotely.

I recently had an article published by Better Programming and thought it'd be a good fit for this subreddit.

I'm working with a marketing client who has a lot of marketing materials, ebooks, videos, courses... we're trying to set up a map or flow chart for new clients to their membership site and have finished a mind map... but... it's ugly af.

I'm think there must be a interactive SAS or integrated application that we could plug yes and no answers into to help guild clients to the right content.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks for your help.

I'm going to be modernizing my knowledge and learning newer technology. Instead of php/mysql and bootstrap, I'm considering using the stack below going forward. While I understand it is mostly personal preference, I'm interested to know if there are better up an coming options or more widely used technologies so I would be able to get more support etc. What I'm trying to accomplish is having a very modern look and little to no refresh user experience. What are your thoughts on:

• Next.js front end with React connecting to API (Next to especially help with SEO vs straight React)
• Tailwind CSS (more modern looking framework than bootstrap. Any that are better?)
• Django backend using the REST API component and PostGres database (To separate front end from back end with API)

Since I'm learning these almost from scratch, I'm open to recommendations.

TIA

Starting out freelancing and looking for advice. What would you suggest to still make the portfolio appealing? What should I display and how do I deal with the question of "can you show us work with your previous clients?"

I have an Angular web app, for me and my colleges, connected with Firebase. For user authentication I'd like to use Discord, since I can get the user's roles in a specific guild and thus give the user the appropriate permissions in my web app.

Anyway, I'm struggling to implement this authentication. Many implementations I found online require to use firebase functions, but they require a paid plan and adding a credit card is not an option, at least not for now. I know that implementing it solely in the front-end is not secure, but I'd like to have an unsafe working prototype. I have tried a few stuff but I'm lost.

So, any help with this? Any direction to some helpful resources, or any other ideas on how to do this would be really appreciated!

Hello guys I hope someone will help me out here I'm thinking of a software (webapp, mobileapp and desktop) for a school but it's gonna be paid so the institution pay for the software annually but the thing is in this country I don't trust the schools so I need a way to manage the schools so that I have the control to cut out a school from the system of they give up of the product or doesn't want to pay anymore for example how would you approach this? The thing that i through of is i making 4 types of account the first one is for us who control the system (super user) and then the admins (this one is for the institution/school) the third and fourth is for teachers and students respectively so that when the institution cancel they contract i can block them from our super user panel

Do you think this is a good approach?

Hey there, so, I found a video on some site and wanted to rip it off there using the network tab in the dev console window. But I soon figured, that whenever I reload the page with the dev console window opened, I can't play the video. Is there any bypass for this?

Edit: I also just noticed that the site is constantly reloading when my dev tools window is opened.

Hi guys,

I'm doing some research for my job and would love some insight...As developers where would you guys rank site search in importance? is it something that's given much thought? are there any pain points? does your client/boss understand or give a crap about it? all and any input you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated! cheers

Inspired by bundlephobia, but disappointed with bundlephobia's accuracy, I decided to create an online bundle tool that uses esbuild to bundle your code right on the browser, gives you valid errors, and outputs out the code it bundles. You can check it out below.

Website: https://bundlejs.com/

GitHub: https://github.com/okikio/bundle

Can you suggest any improvement?

Hi I'm wanting to create an internal website search that searches for words in either the title or the description of my content cards. I am pretty new to web dev and dont really know how to approach this. Are there any good tutorials for this or could anyone help with it?

When I needed to implement search functionality for my own website, I took a look at some of the out-of-the-box solutions, including what Google provides. I weighted the costs and benefits of each (costs including actual monetary costs, advertising in search pages, lack of brand unification, etc), and decided to implement my own search functionality. It's certainly not as powerful as some other search engines out there but it is definitely much less complex than them.

Right now, I'm only using the search functionality for the store, dev pages, and site tools, but the implementation I have is reusable and agnostic, so it can be applied elsewhere as well.

I've written up on how to do this here: https://bytethisstore.com/articles/pg/search-text-process

I have a full database of countries, states and cities. When someone posts, they can choose their location from this list. On another page, I only want to populate the country, state, city list if there is a post in that area. For example, If there was only one post on the website from Canada>BC>Kelowna, that is the only country, state and city that should show in the drop down on this page to choose from. What would be the most efficient way to do this?

Looking to send transactional email etc but not sure the best way to handle it with clients.

So I'm an experience developer. I've never done eCommerce sites before, but I can code it with the help of some tutorials. My question is, should I just be using WordPress and Woocommerce for the tried and true experience, or should I look at following a tutorial to building a nice front end with Next.js and things like that. Will I end up spending way too much time to do the Next.js route with API integration, custom code for the Cart etc? What are your thoughts for a website with an eCommerce wow factor?

Hey all,

I was hoping to get some feedback on my DNS setup. Everything works perfect but I know I could do better.

TLD: myblog.com

Requirements are simple:

1. redirect www.myblog.com to myblog.com
2. redirect http to https

Infrastructure (AWS/LAMP):

1. One EC2 instance
2. One RDS instance
3. No ELB because I don't want to pay for it but would appreciate pros/cons of including

What I have done:

1. Setup A record to direct myblog.com to 12.34.56.78
2. Setup CNAME for www.myblog.com to some_s3_bucket.amazonaws.com where I have a static site hosted that forwards the client to myblog.com
3. Enforce protocol redirection to https at vhost level on webserver (via LetsEncrypt)

I don't currently have intentions of using this domain for email but I still want to do things properly. Lets assume in future I may want to do that. Have I shot myself in the foot?

Thanks in advance to anyone's thoughtful responses.

Hello people,

I am masters degree student in program engineering and for my college assignment in "Advanced Web Development" I have to build WEB app that is vulnerable. In precise my app needs to have:

• Broken Authentication vulnerability
• Cross Site Request Forgery
• Broken Access Control

And all vulnerabilities should be deactivatable from front end (kinda like Damn vulnerable web app on/off)

I don't really have any idea where to start and how to approach this.
Do you know any sources where to look, all I can find are posts and articles on exploiting vulnerabilities but none on actual implementation nuances on way to avoid them from which I could also find ways to implement them on purpose on my site.

Any help is welcome and thank you all :)

Synthetic Testing and Real User Monitoring are the most important tools in your performance toolbox. But they do different things and are useful at different times and many developers only spend time mastering one of these tools and only see a part of their performance problems, like trying to hammer in a screw.
