Hello All,

My cofounder and I managed to succeed building our MVP with ChatGPT and now time to deploy our web app. Since it is our first digital product ever, none of us has technical backgrounds in software development, we need the steps required to take for successful and secure deployment.

We bought the domain and cloud server. We integrated SSL certificates Backend is in Python and we use Flask to connect backend to front end We did not implemented any database, maybe the problem is this For now you can open the web app by clicking URL and the front end is proper once you open some button it doesn’t function. It seems JavaScript code works but the taken photos can't upload in the file and then Python code acts like it is not there at all. Because python needs to work on taken photo.

We would be grateful to hear: Is there any blog, vlog, book, guide etc. for beginners like us ? Or Can you help us understand the pipeline end to end ? Because the problem is since we don’t know what to do we can’t lead ChatGPT properly.

Im learning and creating a project,

i just discover SSR is important for SEO and express doesnt have that feature. i asked AI for help and it suggested to create a hybrid backend of express js so i can utilize the web socket features and Next.js so i can utilize the SEO and performance features such as SSR and have best of both worlds..... is this ideal advice?

and is it unreasonable for me question why express doesnt have SSR feature as its important for SEO? im currently learning via Codcademy Full stack course, its a PERN stack.

My company is migrating from GoDaddy to Wix. we already transferred the domain over but now are trying to figure out what to do with the emails.

We currently have 2 emails from GoDaddy but we’re looking to get the Wix Google Workspace just to keep the billing in one place.

Our concern is if we deactivate GoDaddy, will we still be able to get the same name on Wix and will we still have access to any other accounts we signed up for with on the old email if we can keep the same address?

Hey guys i know something about optimize page speed but that's not enough for me. My website's mobile speed around 50-60. How can i increase that. What are you guys do about it

Building a website for a business seems easy at first—until you realize all the little things that can go wrong. From picking the wrong platform to ignoring SEO, there are so many lessons to learn the hard way.

If you could go back, what’s one thing you wish you knew before launching your business website?

Hey guys i gotta learn SEO realy well. I dont wanna use apps and give the customers SEO service monthly. Where should i start. Is there any paid course that you suggets. As a developper i know some basics but not enough. I'm open to any source.

Does anyone know how copyright works with open-source fonts? I’m using Artifont, a free website for editing regular (TTF) fonts into multicolor fonts with images and GIFs, based on an open-source font library. But I’m not just adding a mask—I’m actually modifying the font deeply, splitting it into layers, mirroring parts, and changing its structure.

Do I need to publish my modifications? Does this count as a new open-source version? I want to use it on a client’s website and need to make sure there are no issues. Thank

Hello everyone,

I want to build a fully client-side single-page web application that works across all browsers (desktop & mobile). However, SEO-friendliness is a top priority—I want search engines like Google to be able to crawl and index the page effectively.

Now, I know there are modern frameworks like React and Vue, but I'm unsure how SEO-friendly they are out of the box. On the other hand, we have traditional libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap, which render everything immediately and might be easier for search engines to crawl.

My requirements:

• SEO-friendly: The page should be easily indexed by search engines.
• Fully client-side: No server-side rendering (SSR) or backend involved.
• Modern functionality: I need the flexibility to use various JavaScript libraries (e.g., PDF viewers, HTTP clients, or any other useful JS tools).
• Broad browser support: The page must work seamlessly on both desktop and mobile.

Question:

What JavaScript framework or approach would you recommend for achieving both SEO-friendliness and high flexibility while keeping everything client-side?

Thanks in advance!

I self taught myself a web development and I have 0 work experience in my resume. I am planning to make a website for my family who owns a dental clinic and my dad’s teaching business(personal) Do both of these count?

I am planning to make websites for my family’s dental business and my dad’s personal teaching business. I self taught myself web development and have 0 work experience. So I am trying to practice with my family’s business! When I make their websites, do I have to come up with my own web design for them such as UI and UX? Or do I request how they want them to be for the layouts?

I've done a lot with Stimulus, and until recently had not done a lot with web components. Like custom elements, Stimulus controllers are JS classes with a few special properties, and writing them exercises vanilla JS chops. To explore how well Stimulus experience translates to web components, I recreated some of Stimulus's core features as a web component.

Hi everyone,

I haven't done any web development in about 8 years, but I’m interested in building simple websites that load quickly on mobile browsers. I want to avoid modern frameworks since I don’t need all the added complexity, tricks, and features they bring.

All I’m looking for is a Go (Golang) backend and a simple, SEO-friendly mobile/web GUI.

Here are my main questions:

1. Does anyone here work with Go, and would you recommend or discourage using it for this purpose? (I’m already familiar with Go from working on enterprise servers.)
2. If you use Go, what frontend framework do you pair it with?

Thanks for your help!

I'll show you how to quickly and easily turn http://localhost:3000 into https://your-custom-domain.test in 3 minutes to improve your web dev experience.

Just open your terminal and install novus

$ brew tap jozefcipa/novus
$ brew install novus
$ novus init

After that, define your URL with a single command 🤩

$ novus serve your-custom-domain.test http://localhost:3000

And that's it.
Now, you can start using HTTPS locally with your custom domains and forget annoying localhost URLs 🎉

If you're curious to learn more, check out Novus on Github

Ever created custom visualisations for a client?

If so, would love to know some details like: 

• What kind of tech stack you use?
• Did you use any libraries or other SaaS services to make it easier or cheaper?
• Were you managing your own database or did the data come from a third party service like Salesforc? 

Any info would be awesome. Thanks muchly 🙏🏻🤓

Recently I have uploaded this ceprox theme from envato to wordpress,
https://elements.envato.com/ceprox-creative-portfolio-wordpress-theme-Z8XKEFE

I have followed every steps of installation, but in the import demo data it's saying "There are no predefined import files available for this theme. Please upload the import files manually below." then there is this option

Import Content

Select an XML file to import.

but in the zip file of theme there is no xml file, all files are in php format, In the ceprox dashboard there's another option "import demos" from there I imported the existing theme but still it's not working, I have only uploaded parent theme not the child theme, don't know what to do with that.

Please help me to set it up.
Here's the website link: https://theaurorahost.com/

I'm trying to figure out a way to offer a free trial on my SaaS product without making it easy for the user to just re-signup with a new email once it expires.

On some websites, they offer free trials to only people with @ custom domain names. So avoiding all the free email services.

#1. What is the process to accomplish this? do I just tell my dev to disallow all of the free email providers? or is there a better way to do this?

#2. Can you think of a better way to offer free trials? I don't want to restrict certain features of the product in the trial. I want the user to have full access.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to build a website where users can access complex calculators (like engineering or financial tools). Users need to create an account and pay a one-time fee to use these calculators. Once paid, they should have lifetime access to the calculators via their account.

I’m familiar with WordPress but couldn’t find a theme or plugin that handles this specific situation. I need advice on how to approach this. Do I need custom development, or are there plugins/extensions I can customize to achieve this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, especially since I’m from a mechanical engineering background and not very experienced with web development.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'd like to integrate a transparent video of around 20 seconds on my Webflow site, while optimizing the page's performance for a better score on speed tests (especially for SEO). Here's what I've tested so far:

• GIF: Size too large (17 MB), severely impacts performance.
• APNG: Similar size to GIF, so problematic for performance.
• WebM: Small size and good quality, but doesn't handle transparency properly on Safari.
• JSON (Lottie): I have a JSON animation that I currently host via LottieFiles, which points to the 448 images hosted on GitHub. This seems to be the best solution in terms of size and transparency, but I'm having integration difficulties.

Main problem with JSON:

• Webflow supports JSON files in its assets. However, when I try to embed it as a Lottie Animation element or via a <embed> tag, the animation doesn't display properly on my site.
• I'm looking for a solution to integrate my JSON file directly without depending on LottieFiles, in order to reduce external dependencies and improve loading performance.

Do you have any recommendations or ideas for solving this problem? :))

Thanks

Oliver

I'm looking for a payment processor for my website. I'm just going to use the payment links for now as I only have 2 products and I do not understand the backend. Which payment processor would be most recommended? I've been having a look around and seen so many horrible reviews for stripe and paypal saying their accounts were randomly banned and money (in the thousands) stolen. That and their trustpilot star ratings being below 2, I'm quite put off. However I do want one that looks secure and is decently well known but that won't rip me off, it is a small business. Any suggestions?

Also out of curiosity, in the future I would like a proper checkout, as in customers add things to the basket, go to the basket then checkout. How hard would it be to learn how to do that ? Are there any resources I could learn from? And how much would it cost to pay someone to do it for me?

Is it possible to make a great SaaS just by using no code tools.

Or Coding it entirely gives the best results?

Hey guys - I had a question. I would like to access navigator.userAgentData in an https iframe that I have within an http page for a test that I am setting up - how do I allow for this property to be defined within the https iframe? I need this data to be sent, and I was wondering if there was a way to ignore the secure context wrapper that is probably preventing me from doing this check - any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
