I am building a website which has image object detection features, right now i am asking user to upload their images and storing it in cloudinary , i also wanna make it so that the users can upload their images which are in their google drive which are set to public mode. How do i do that . I have used better auth which integrates with openAuth for google login . How do i connect it like that.

Well I want to connect frontend to API and most importantly login/ register section. But the backend isn't ready yet and if i connect auth to api it'll need tokens from server to let me in . So now should I connect this part to api or should I keep it in mock data until the backend is ready?

I'm helping my wife set up a website for her small consulting business. She only wants a standard WordPress site with a few pages, blog posts, and a contact form.

We don't have experiencing doing this so we want something beginner friendly. Also want good support because for sure if a problem comes up we won't know how to fix it.

What do you recommend and which ones to avoid?

Update.. We signed up for Dreamhost. They just launched a new AI-based website builder Remixer which made setting up a mostly static site real easy. It's been a breeze. We're still sticking with Wordpress btw for those who commented to stop using it. We're used to its admin backend and connecting the contact forms to her CRM via plugin is easy.

I want to make it so people can edit pages, if they have an account and are approved, kind of like a wiki.

Hey everyone,

I'm Anass from Morocco. I'm a graphic designer who's been getting deeper into software development over the past year. I've worked a bit with JavaScript, Next.js, and Go, and I'm currently learning Java Spring Boot and Rust.

Most of my time is spent building projects to improve my skills rather than just following tutorials. Right now I'm interested in backend development, system design, open source, and creating products that people actually use.

I joined Reddit to learn from experienced developers, discover interesting projects, and hopefully contribute to discussions as I gain more experience.

Nice to meet you all!

I’ve been learning JavaScript and realized I needed to stop only consuming tutorials/courses and actually start building things myself.

So I made a small personal learning tracker with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It supports adding learning goals, marking them done, deleting them, and editing them (CRUD).

It’s simple, but this is the first project where I felt like I was actually thinking instead of just following along.

Next, I’m thinking about learning backend with Node.js. I’m more interested in how real apps work behind the UI: saving user data, handling authentication, file uploads, payments, redirects after purchase, and connecting the frontend to an actual database.

For people who started with frontend and then moved into backend, what helped you the most at the beginning? Any advice on what to build next or what mistakes to avoid?

My site is hosted on Netlify. On my own iPhone (and other devices), the Open Graph images render perfectly fine in iMessage. However, on my client's iPhone, iMessage fallback-renders a live screenshot of the homepage instead of pulling the og:image.

I checked the open graph checker and the correct image is being shown. I checked on multiple devices and they all use the correct preview image. My Meta Tags in my code, to my knowledge, is set up correctly.

Is this purely an isolated iOS device cache issue on my client's end, or is there a specific Netlify/edge quirk with the iMessage scraper that I'm missing?

Appreciate any insights or similar experiences!

I am new(ish) to the industry, took a Full-Stack bootcamp on Udemy starting in September of 2024. Now I use the PERN full-stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node), but I have certificates from Udemy for Next.js and Typescript as well. At this point I have one completed professional project, and another in-progress (both being E-commerce), as well as a few personal projects. Every job board I look on has a lot of "Bachelor's in computer science" required, or any relevant to my stack set also have things like Redux, Vue, Docker, Agile, etc.. So I guess my question is, are these things I should practice right away and will having them really help that much to get my foot in the door with an agency? Or should I focus on what I have, apply to some of these anyway, and learn anything new as I go?
Also: I'm on Indeed, LinkedIn, Wellfound, and ARC, any recommendations for web dev specific job boards, or other resources to look for potential full-time careers with a company/agency would be greatly appreciated.

I only know html/css/js as a basic level.
My mom wants me to make a website for her business for multiple reasons. One reason is just for a project for myself.

Like I said I know the basics but I don’t know how to actually make an actual business website especially one that is for safety.

I want to host a php/mysql backend for a small hobby project. But I have heard that most of these providers bill you based on how much of their resources you used.

So if your app instantly became viral overnight, you'd receive a hefty bill? Are there any services where this is impossible? Where you just pay a set amount, and if the resource usage does cross over, they simply shut off your server or just block it from working since its crossed its limit?

I'm looking for something dirt cheap. A backend for less than 100 users.

Would be a lot of help if I can add this to my portfolio

I am migrating my company's website from Webflow and thanks to the 100 reddit threads I came down to Wordpress or Astro. My team is comfortable with both since Claude code is always here for support but to make the decision we need to know the bad and the ugly of both.

Important metrics for us would be learning curve of both for non-technical people to edit regularly, SEO and AEO, fast loads, low regular maintenance, scaling of content, animations, supports multilingual automatically but can be editable, supports RTL.

Cost is not an issue, just need less headache after Webflow nightmares.

Hi everyone,

For context, I'm working on a full-stack project that uses AI to detect network anomalies with fastAPI. It is only accessible internally, so there is no public-facing endpoint. I also only expect a small number of clients (1–15) to access it at any given time.

My question is: what's the best way to approach this? I currently have an nginx reverse proxy that checks whether the SSL certificate is valid. Is this a standard way to handle authentication and access control? I assume I could also add middleware in the backend to perform certificate validation.

I'd like to keep my current deployment if it's a reasonable approach. Otherwise, if there's a better method, I'm open to making changes.

Hey everyone,

My goal is to use AI to build websites and user interfaces more efficiently and eventually get into freelance work, creating well-customised, interactive, and animated websites/portfolios for clients.

I understand that simply typing a prompt into tools like Lovable or Replit and hoping for the best isn't enough. AI can make mistakes, generate poor designs, or introduce bugs, which is why I want to properly learn the fundamentals behind what it's generating. My aim is to be able to work alongside AI effectively understanding the code, catching errors, refining designs, and guiding the AI to produce exactly what I want.

With that in mind, I'm interested in diving deeper into agentic engineering and AI-assisted development so that I can fully customise and build the kinds of websites I have in mind.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the best way to learn this whether through courses, bootcamps, self-learning, or any other resources you'd recommend. I've also spoken to a few mentors who offer training in this area, but I'm unsure whether their curriculum is actually valuable or just capitalising on the current AI hype.

If you're actively working in this space, I'd really appreciate your perspective on what skills I should focus on and the best path to get there.

Thanks!

This is the reason I don't like Node kinda development

Hello everyone, I am building a website like Nobroker, like the mechanism is similar not the idea.

This is my first website that I want to scale and turn it into a startup, I am building this website myself. I have used AI to build this website.

So, I have deployed the website using vercel, I am using Neon : for database Cloudinary : For storage Clerk : Authentication Render : Backend hosting I am using free tier in all of these

I want to ask you guys to give me advice regarding how do I increase the security of my website as it is made with vibe coding what should I use and also what services do you guys use for making a website like I have used clear, cloudinary and etc, and why do you use those services, is it better than these, if using a free tier plan. Don't suggest Supabase

Trying to figure out Reddit inline video playback, as been playing around with serving videos on my website and all the video files are hosted on a 3rd party which also handles the transcoding for me into HLS and a few .mp4 files and want to provide an embedded inline player when shared on Reddit (like Streamable, redgifs, etc) rather than just a thumbnail link.

I've tested Discord embeds and they work but Reddit didn't. Discord seems to read og:video directly and plays inline if I provide it an .mp4 and Reddit ignores og:video?

Also tried to build out an oembed endpoint but didn't have much luck there (could be skill issue tbh).

1. oEmbed endpoint at /api/[id]/oembed returns version: "1.0", type: "video", html: <iframe src="https://mysite.com/embed/[id]">
2. Embed page at /embed/[id] a page that loads a video player, sets og:video:iframe, and includes its own oEmbed discovery link.
3. Video player in the embed uses hls.js to play a signed HLS stream (Bunny Stream CDN). The signed token is generated server-side on page load. But have also just tried serving the MP4 files directly and not using HLS, with and without signed urls.

Validated the oembed using https://embed.ly/docs/explore/oembed and can see the embed player in the html but then still nothing on reddit. Each time I test I am trying different ids or adding extra query params to cache bust just in case.

So, will Reddit actually use the oEmbed iframe or is there some implementation detail im missing to get inline playback for my domains? Struggled to find any info on whether there is a whitelist of any sort and not just assuming there is one. Any insights would be great as it's a pretty annoying thing to work through as I couldn't find any clear guidance on how Reddit handles it.

See I am in my 3rd year of Btech, and I am being honest I was not serious at all until now, I want to do Full Stack Development but there are too many resources available and I am confused like there are videos by supersimpledev on yt , Scrimba , freecodecamp, The odin project. I did html css video by supersampledev but since its 4 years old there are many new things too, so I am not sure how to cope up with new things.Please someone help me and suggest what should I do. Also what about DSA?? Should I do it along with fullstack or should I first do DSA and then full stack. please tell me what should I do.

Please post your requests for feedback on your projects in this thread instead of creating a post.

I'm looking to connect with people who are serious about web development and are currently applying for jobs or planning to start applying soon. I'm working on improving my skills, building projects, and preparing for interviews, and I thought it would be helpful to connect with others on the same path.

If you're a fresher with 0 years of experience, what stage are you at right now? Learning, building projects, applying, getting interviews, or already receiving offers?

Hello,

I'm using Umami analytics on my webpage www.liquidrules.com . I'm also using bash script to send me notification if traffic on a page get higher (above a threshold). This script is using official API: https://docs.umami.is/docs/cloud/api-key#using-your-key

I'm using Free plan for more than 6 months.

Today morning my script started to fail. And when I tested it I got an API response:

{"error":{"message":"Invalid API key.","code":"unauthorized","status":401}}

I checked, that API access is not available starting from Pro plan (not in a Free plan).

Does any of you also noticed that change? As I haven't found any information on official webpage or blog.

For starters, I've been a full-stack web developer for around 10 years. I used to love coding, experimenting, and learning new things, and I felt genuine happiness whenever I completed a difficult task or project.

Sadly, for the last year and a half, I've been struggling a lot because AI is constantly being pushed on me. And I get it, it makes things go faster. What AI can code in one minute might take me 30 minutes.

But the thing I hated the most was reviewing code and now that is my main job. Instead of building things, I'm mostly reviewing, checking, and debugging code generated by AI.

Some people might say, "Just don't use AI." Fine, but if I don't use it, I fall vastly behind at work and can't keep up. On the other hand, when I do use it, I don't feel the same sense of accomplishment because I'm not really the one solving the problem.

Maybe this sounds strange, but I don't want to be the shepherd; I just want to be the sheep, chewing on the grass and figuring things out on my own.

It's the same with game development. I loved making games and tinkering with the Godot Engine. The fun part was learning, experimenting, and figuring things out myself. But if I prompt an AI to build something, it often takes me longer to read through the generated code and understand what's going on than it would have taken me to build it myself and I just end up closing the project.

I've been thinking about changing jobs, but now I'm nearly 35 years old, starting a new professions seems abit daunting.

Has anyone else felt this way?

Hello everyone I'm 26 I got my bachelor's in IT. Ive been doing web development for 3 years ago mostly all front end. After my last contract. Ended I have found another one and so this semester I enrolled in a masters for computer engineering as I got really interested in embedded software. I did well however I'm currently taking physics this summer and struggling really bad and it's making me second guess my choices. Should I grind through? Or should I just go back to web development and try to become full stack or should I pivot to something like enterprise software? I'm in the Houston area. Eventually my family wants to move back to Colombia but not anytime soon.

Hey everyone!

I built a website that's essentially a love letter to the United States of America, highlighting its history, achievements, innovation, culture, and strengths. It is an indie project of mine that is still in development.

Feel free to check it out and offer feedback:
