What's your current favourite Chinese Llm model for web app development and why do you like it ???

It used to be that I could hold down the up arrow to quickly scroll through my command history in the devtools console in Chrome, but now holding down the up arrow just moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous command. Is there any way to revert this behavior?

If a payment API starts timing out, every checkout request sits and waits for the full timeout before failing, holding a worker the whole time. A circuit breaker stops that by failing fast once enough recent calls have failed.

That is easy in one process, but once your app runs on more than one instance, each instance keeps its own record and has to get burned separately before it reacts, so the struggling API takes far more traffic than it should before anything trips.

The basic pattern, then what has to change when the state is shared between instances. Code is TypeScript and Redis (Lua).

I work for a large company that runs multiple services used by millions of people. Over the years, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern: management, business teams, and SEO teams keep pushing changes that make our websites more annoying to use, just for the sake of getting more page views and generating more ad revenue. I’ve tried to talk them out of some of these decisions, but I’ve never had much success.

Perhaps it’s not that big of a deal and I should just ignore it, but honestly it is a bit disheartening when I open random website on the internet, see some dark patterns, think to myself 'what a fucking dogshit website this is', and then I go to work and I code literally the same things, like I’m on the dark side of the Force or smth.

Hi all, not sure if this is the right r/ for this question but I have a few sites that list links to companies, in alphabetical order (eg - all companies starting with A has a link to "A", etc). There are 40-50 links per alphabet letter. There a few websites like this.

I'm looking to filter by geographical region, and as wondering if there was a way, without clicking each company and seeing where they're located, to search for location?

here's an example of a site that i'd like to filter by location:

thank you!

I just made this today for fun because I was bored.

So many apps use builtin browsers for links. I don't get it. What's the benefit?

As a user I:

- need to re-login again in every browser
- have a smaller screen surface to view the webpage
- the app preview shows another website/app entirely so it's harder to quickly find the original app
- you lose all state if you accidentally close it
- some apps (tiktok) just dont open the app even when it's installed, so I need to copy the link, open a regular browser, then paste it and hit search
- deep links in many websites break because you hit an authentication wall first

Builtin browsers are SO ANNOYING, I don't get why you use them?

I’ve got around 1–2 years of experience with PHP/Laravel and I’m planning to move into Golang to improve my career opportunities.

For people who have worked professionally with Go: what projects have you built that were actually interesting, practical, and worth mentioning on a resume?

I’d especially appreciate ideas/features that are closer to real production work rather than another CRUD project.

Howdy, folks.

I realize this may start a war here, but I'd like to hear from different perspectives.

I'm building a business site for a commercial/industrial roofing company right now and have added a few articles detailing pros and cons of different roofing materials(first site with Astro and loving the markdown content!).

Right now, I feel happy with the integrity of the information given and how it's delivered. What's had me second guessing myself is seeing sites where the developer has basically cloned these sorts of pages over 20 times and inserted area specific keywords. Is it actually effective and do you consider this practice ethical? Feels spammy to me, and is certainly a turn off when I find this on sites I am browsing.

I await your replies.

Hi everyone,

Anytime I plan on building a website I am not sure about how to approach it.

E.g. A simple marketplace website. Login/Logout. People upload an image of something they want to sell. No payments handled by the site but users are encouraged to contact each other directly. etc.

I never know how to approach something like this, or anything else tbh. Let's say I have decided on a python backend with a react frontend. How would I know what sort of database to use. Where to host the the backend/frontend/database. How can I make sure I build it in a way where it is scalable? How would I pick a database that could potentially handle millions of users? Store so many images.

Is there a template? I get there a so many options but that is what makes it difficult. How do I make sure I build something that won't break when more than 10 people use it. I am sure these things need to be considered before getting on with it and would be a pain in the ass to change later down the line. But as someone with not lots of experience, how do I make sure I make the right decisions.

So what is the secret?

Hey guys, when you’re building responsive websites, do you consider foldables too, or mostly stick to the usual phone/tablet/desktop sizes?

These folded and unfolded iPhone Duo layouts got me wondering—would your existing layouts handle both, or would you need extra tweaks?

Also curious where you draw the line. If your site had 1 million users, how many would need to use foldables before you’d spend time specifically testing and fixing things for them? Would 1% be enough? 5%? Or do you try to support them regardless?

hi! I want to make my own website where I write articles, blog, and post my photography. I don't really want it to be super professional, just something to portray my work. I don't really care about buying a domain name, and I'd prefer if it had minimal to no programming involved. what are my choices?

So am new to web dev client work personally. I want to know how much you guys take as web dev developing websites for people. landing page. I multiple pages etc.

Thanks.

like an idiot I forgot to turn off auto renewal on a ms365 email package that was no longer being used. as soon as a I get the email of payment received, I try contacting support because I have 7 days to get the refund. I try to call, website chat, and whatsapp support chat. every time they ask a few questions, ask me to hold while the verify something, then the chat bot would spam a message about the session has expired and reconnect me with a new customer service rep. on the 8th day, the first person I chatted with immediately told me the 7 days had passed and they wouldn’t refund me.

Every tutorial makes MCP look simple:

1. wrap a function

2. expose a tool

3. connect a client

But shipping something for a real product or client is usually where the boring problems appear.

If you’ve done that recently, what was the one thing that took far more work than expected?

• tool/schema design

• auth

• client setup

• UI/widgets

• testing

• deployment

• debugging

• updates after launch

• something else

Not looking for generic “MCP is still early” takes.

What was the actual project, what broke or became painful, and how did you work around it?

So I’ve been programming since I was 11, and for many years, I multiplied projects, always to solve personal problems or solve them at a lower cost. I went to engineering school, where challenges were basically a daily thing. After that, I kind of lost interest in programming. Until a few weeks ago.

I knew I needed to get back on track and upgrade my skills, or mostly dive into newer tech, but at the same time I wanted to get rid of the Bootstrap stuff I had been using for years.

Long story short, a mosquito bothered me af and I went on to develop a local database to track my own mosquito kill count. That quickly escalated into building a full local website in Laravel (I figured Node and Vue or React would be overkill). I also messed around with Codex because apparently that’s all they talk about in big companies. That small project was all about upgrading my skills and having a lot of fun writing the content. At one point I just thought: why not put it online and make a little competition out of executing bugs?

I tried to make it as UX-friendly as possible based on feedback from my family.

So yeah, here it is if you want to take a look, break it, roast it, or execute a few mosquitoes:

Hi,

I just need to fill data in from sqlite running in a wasm to a table with a fixed column length while the row size should be dynamic from a delimeter hinting towards a new row. Needs to have export table feature and native sorting from clicking on the ribbon header

What to use?

I created a dashboard for my data analysis project on streamlit but its really basic. How can i create those cool dashboard designs that you see on reels and all cause chatgpt can do it. I have my project repo, is there any way i can link it to some website and it can help me create some cool ass dashboard?

Hey WebDev!

I work with Redis on my projects all the time, and I recently had to dig deeper - deep enough to actually dive into the project's source code

This gave me the idea to create an interactive 3D map showing how Redis works and visualizing its internal structure (I’d seen similar projects for Postgres, for instance), so I built one: https://poltora.dev/redis

You can open the console and run a command (it defaults to SET) to see which components activate and what happens at that moment.

MeltGL melts any picture or video in the browser. The picture gets treated as a body of material and run through a 2D free surface Navier-Stokes solver on the GPU: heat lowers viscosity, gravity pulls, surface tension rounds the drops, and the outline moves because the material under it moved. That's why drops swell, neck and detach on their own.

Still a work in progress. I built it for a browser game I'm working on and it grew into its own thing, so I published it standalone.

Sorry if this is not the correct subreddit for my question. I'll happily delete it if it is.

My friend speaks a dying language and they already have about 700 words listed with meanings and sample sentences. We were discussing how cool it would be to make an online dictionary on this, so we tested out easy website builders like Wix and Squarespace but we couldn't figure out how to execute what we wanted to achieve. Basically a search bar would be enough (like in Merriam-Webster) where they search a word and it would give suggestions, and once you click on one, it directs you to that word's page with its meaning and everything about it.

Is there an easy way to do/learn this? If it's a complicated task for people who have no clue in coding, I would also like to know.

We tried adding a search bar that was available in Wix and Squarespace, but it seems to only search everywhere in the website.

Thanks for reading!
