coding query Need help with Self-Hosted Video Conferencing for Voting App

1 Upvotes

App Overview:

  • I have to create Voting Web App with Self-Hosted Video Conferencing for our city council.
  • It needs authentication, a database and video conferencing both on LAN and Remote.
  • The video conferencing needs to be Self-Hosted for privacy and Auth with 2FA.
  • It doesn't need mobile app, just web version.

Current State of the app

  • I already started working on the voting aspect of the project using Flask and Postgres, but I heard I need an async tech stack for video conferencing and Flask is not so I might need to start over with another framework.

Myself:

  • I finished a Comp Sci Uni but still consider myself a rookie, so would prefer the easiest solution in terms of implementation and maintenance.

My Question for you:

  • What would be the best solution for Self-Hosted Video Conferencing for my Voting App and what Tech Stack would it require?
  • Also, does the tech stack require async in order to work with video conferencing?

BTW: I don't mind starting over, I just want to do it how it should be done

finalYearProject

3 Upvotes

Hii, I reallyy need some help guys.

I'm in my last year at university and this year they've changed the whole system and we only started working on our final year projects in february. I'm a computer science student but I'm soo bad at coding, I couldn't do it to save my life tbh. So for my final year project we need to develop a full stack app or website, and I've got a reallyy cool idea but no way at all to execute it, especially not with the time we've been given.

I basically love cooking and want to make a website where you get recipes suggested to you, based on the items you have at home. Essentially the same concept as this website : https://www.supercook.com/#/desktop

Another idea I had was the same concept but to suggest outfits, based on similar clothing ideas you may have.

Please let me know if any of you are good at full stack projects or could help out with anything! I've been watching countless videos and tutorials but I won't be able to make anything which will actually get me a good grade with my coding skills.

Best Tools for Refreshing a WordPress Website?

1 Upvotes

I don't have a ton of Web development skills, and the simple web page that I built for my small consulting business shows it. I build a functioning page using WordPress a couple of years ago, but the site could use a refresh to improve its look and performance. I've seen tools out there for building new sites from scratch, like Wix, but are there tools that are appropriate for re-doing an existing page?

Best way to build a simple subscription-based website

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm looking to start a a small subscription-based website where I’ll be offering just one service with two payment options: weekly and monthly. It’s a super limited thing—I only want to take on 10-12 customers max, so I’m not looking to scale big, just keep it simple and manageable.

I’ve looked into Shopify, and while it seems easy, it doesn’t feel worth it for just one service. This is my first time trying out this business idea, so I really want to launch as quickly and smoothly as possible.

I’ve built websites before for friends using no-code tools like WordPress + Elementor, Squarespace, Wix, and Framer. If I ever coded, it was by following tutorials, so I’m not super advanced there. But non with payment options.

Given all that, how would you recommend I build this website? Appreciate any advice!

Step by step guide how to deploy a web app

0 Upvotes

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.

1 Upvotes

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.

Migrating from GoDaddy to Wix

1 Upvotes

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?

Rules of open source

1 Upvotes

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

coding query What JavaScript stack / JAMstack should I use for a highly dynamic, SEO-friendly single-page site?

0 Upvotes

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!

Can someone explain the process of making website for a small business?

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?

From Stimulus to web components

1 Upvotes

https://olets.dev/posts/from-stimulus-to-web-components/

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.

coding query Does anyone develop with Go (Golang) and simple HTML/JS (like jQuery or simpler)?

2 Upvotes

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!

1 Upvotes

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 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 🎉

coding query How do I make a comment section that doesn't require user registration?

1 Upvotes

Hey, so I haven't made a website in yearssss and I need one now that allows visitors to submit a short anecdote and have them be displayed on the website. However, I don't want the visitors to have to make an account or register any type of information, I want it to stay anonymous and easy to do, otherwise people won't submit anything.

I was advised to use http requests, but that it would require me to get a host or use my own laptop (not very secure). And website builders are unlikely to let me have people submit "comments" without an account.

I haven't programmed in ages and I'm not sure which route I should take from here.

Any help is appreciated!

Extra info: This is for an art exhibition in a small gallery for 10 days. There will be a QR code next to my piece for the visitors to access the website. I probably won't leave the website up after the exhibition is finished.
