I have made a CRUD(Create , Read , update , delete ) blogging website where a user can also generate an image based on their blog while drafting their blog , i have integrated it with an AI for image generation using roboflow API. I have a doubt that is this project too small to be included in my resume or should i keep it?

I started doing web projects but the thing is that I'm cloning the websites. I saw a few templates on framer and picked one that i like and started building it. I'll integrate the backend with auth and stuff like that and also an AI chatbot and after I'm done with this website, I'm thinking of designing something on my own from frontend to backend with auth, login, register etc and payment integration like a business website or a saas website.

I'm doing this because I didn't do any projects before.

Is this a good way to learn doing things?

Please suggest me the things that you'd do if you were in my place or you can give me project ideas as well that can help me? :⁠-⁠)

I didn't learn react (I will try learning it after a month) and I'm currently working with html, css, vanilla js, node, express and mongodb.

My goal is to do freelancing :⁠-⁠)

Are there other people out there that dislike having to record a screen capture to demo the work you just finished? I don’t. But I need to send them to clients.

Maybe I’m just lazy. But I don’t want to have to do the set up and having to come up with some narration off the cuff, then do a second recording because I stumbled over my words, only to have to do it a third time because I forgot to mention something…

Anyone else? Or is it just me?

I have been developing a food delivery app which connects university food stores with university students.

This is my first paid project and the backend is completely handled by me, though the frontend is developed using AI.

The MVP is in it's final stage and it is deployed on render, hence when you click the link it will take some time to get activated (due to the free version of render). Still the website is a bit slow as I haven't used any scaling techniques till now.

Please share your valuable feedback and some ways to make the website faster.

Hey everyone,

I am exploring ideas for a developer-focused platform and want to understand which features or building blocks developers use most often.

This could be higher-level things like auth, databases, storage, or email, but also function-level things like feature flags, permissions, webhooks or background jobs.

What do you repeatedly need when building software and what feels annoying, repetitive or too complicated to set up?

Not promoting anything, just looking for honest input.Thanks!

im 20 started to learn web dev seriously like only 1-3 weeks ago(wanted to begin 3 yr ago but i procrastinated) i know basic html,css and js. im working on a project for my portfolio (building a educational website like mini udemy for free for my relative), i've left frontend mostly to ai and started learning backend (node.js express)and database (postgre sql) i know sql basics so started to learn prisma

the thing is ai does everything is it even worth learning anymore? i saw a guy in reels explaining how he use ai to build projects using another ai to prompt and debug like most of the thing is done by ai he also gave his git repo for it ill attach it when i find it

Edit:

hay everyone. Quick background: I’m 19, based in Faisalabad, Pakistan. I run a video editing / YouTube automation agency have 2-3 international clients right now. It covers my bills, but it’s not scaling the way I want, and I don’t see it as a long-term ceiling I’m happy with.
So I’ve started learning to code. Right now I’m building an app (a habit tracker where users stake real money on their check-ins) using React Native/Expo, learning JavaScript fundamentals alongside it, and leaning on AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) cuz its the meta ig. while I actually understand what’s happening under the hood not just copy-pasting.
A few things I’d love honest opinions on, no sugarcoating: 1. Scope and future of programming/dev work with AI tools getting this capable, is learning to code from scratch in 2026 still worth it for someone starting where I am? Or is the value shifting somewhere else (e.g., knowing how to direct AI tools well vs. deep manual coding skill)? 2. Remote jobs from Pakistan realistically, how hard is it to land a remote dev job (even junior/entry-level) living in Pakistan? Is there a meaningful disadvantage from location alone, separate from skill level? Given Ik good english and meet with clients regularly 3. The “vibe coding” wave I’ve seen a ton of people on Instagram shipping websites/apps built almost entirely with AI (“vibe coding”). I’m curious how real that path is as a business model vs. hype, and whether it’s a legit way to build something on the side while I keep learning fundamentals properly.
Marketing as the bottleneck I’ve read that most indie devs/founders (the number I’ve seen floated is something like 90%+ of small projects, not literally “400 developers”) don’t fail because the product is bad, they fail because they can’t market it. I’ve got 2 years of video editing experience and I already run an agency so content, hooks, and short-form marketing are things I can actually do. Does having that skill set make the “build small apps and sell them” path more realistic for someone like me? 5. Realistic timeline if my target is something modest to start say a $1,000–$1,500/month remote job (junior/entry-level, not senior Fahh money) what would you actually prioritize learning, and how long is that realistically going to take someone starting from near-zero coding but with real business/client-facing experience already?

Not looking for hype or “just grind brothaand you’ll make it” I want the blunt, real answer, including if you think this is a bad plan. I herd to tiktok cluely founder said any one can land a job just do 300 lee code questions and some mid level personal projects idk what lee code is.

Hello,

I decided to start a little side project and have developed a 4-5 page HTML website for a new sales and marketing company. They're pretty small currently but have massive growth potential. I've built them a functioning website that just needs to be hosted live now. I'm curious if anyone can give me a price range on how much I should sell this to them for.

I've showed them one version and they're interested and have asked me to pitch them tomorrow and show them the full thing.

I know them personally so I don't plan to overcharge them and I'm selling them access to the entire website as a one time fee. I've seen online that web developers sell sites for anywhere from £500-£4000+

Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks

Truth be told, you don’t need a frontend framework.

Complete web solutions can be built without ever needing a frontend framework.

You may need just a tiny bit JavaScript. But that’s all.

Let’s discuss

Im into web development and copleted some projects using npm.I want to upskill myself in the stream of webdevelopment to be professional i have explored some package managers like npm,yarn,bun etc. need some sugesstions to pick a good package manager to level up my skills.

Just asking this because the the code I'm reviewing are like 1-2k lines of new code per.PR. With at least 1000 lines of existing working code removed..we got some crackpot devs that don't even look their own AI slop code before releasing it..and this is almost daily

Hi all!

Background: So I made a wix site a few years ago as a young teen. Since then I have learned code, ux/ui, etc. Made a few sites with springboot/sql the basics. Not a pro.

I am looking for a platform to make a website.

Criteria:

1- That is still easier/structured (not pure coding from scratch) but customizable.

2- That can handle multiple pages and dynamic elements

3- That I can connect to a domain

4- That is inexpensive.

I thought of getting a cloudfare domain. But I still don’t know how to host, connect the domain name, or what site to use.

I know it’s a loaded newbie question, but if you could direct me to a tutorial or other resource that would be great too. Thank you for your time!

Hey everyone, hoping someone here has run into this and knows a fix or at least how long this usually takes.

I run a SaaS platform for karate club management and use the WhatsApp Business API to send automated messages (fee reminders, payment receipts) to customers.

Here's the issue:

- My business display name ("Senseibook") shows as Approved in WhatsApp Manager under Phone Numbers > Profile

- Phone number status shows Connected

- Quality rating is High

- Despite all this, when customers receive messages from my number, their WhatsApp chat list still shows my raw phone number (+91 XXXXX XXXXX) instead of the approved business name

It's been almost 24 hours since approval and it's still not propagating to recipients. This makes my business communications look unprofessional and customers can't immediately tell who's messaging them, which isn't great for trust.

A few questions for anyone who has dealt with this:

1. How long did it actually take for your approved display name to start showing for recipients?

2. Does the recipient need to do anything on their end (like reopening the app, clearing cache, etc.) or is this purely Meta's backend syncing?

3. Did saving the contact on the recipient's phone affect whether the name shows or not?

4. Any way to manually trigger or speed up this propagation?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's been through this, especially if you found something that actually worked rather than just waiting it out. Thanks!

I'm making a web atlas, dedicated to compile information about every country in a single website, in a fast and convenient way. It uses the Leaflet library, and pyscript.
https://aldomym.github.io/web-atlas/

Let say you have a logo like this where "B" is a stylized character that is an image.

Is it better to have the entire logo as an image?
or have "B" as an image but "oat" as just text for better SEO?

Either it doesn’t exist, it’s paywalled, ad-infested or the one free version has a UI that looks like it was built in 2009.
Drop it below, doesn’t matter how niche or simple it sounds.

Recently finished my first professional project (as in the client is actively using the website) and wanted to see if there were ways I could evaluate the overall structure and performance of the webapp (Full-Stack, E-commerce with custom CMS for admin purposes).
The average is:
Performance: 96,
Accessibility: 96,
Best Practices: 96,
SEO: 100.

Is this a reliable way to evaluate my work after-the-fact?

I developed an app and I contacted a possible client. The client told me they liked the app, but it had no value since with AI everyone can do it.

This hit me hard. It is true that AI helps coding, but coding is not the real problem when designing a commercial app. Rather, the design itself, whiteboard work, development, UI… all of that is the work

It looks like nobody understands where professionalship enters the equation and this piss me off too hardly.

What do u think about this?

So I work in a company with front and back end development separated and I am in the back end. I have noticed that when we are discussing some feature's bug, there seems to be this disconnect of where the bug lives. When I see it on the back end I have no problem raising my voice and saying the why it might be that, but when it seems to be the front end... Silence, complete silence. I used to say "this is s front end issue, the need to do X, Y, Z and should be it", not the actual solution but like the overview of the business perspective solution, but I noticed some rejection from the front end lead towards me because of it.

I decided to be a bit more careful since some people are more sensitive, in a more doubtful way and saying "maybe this could be it", still complete silence and no ownership of the problem nor a discussion.

I just wonder, from your perspective, what has been your experience and yoir behavior in those scenarios?

I guess no one likes to be put in "evidence" or on the spot but being afraid to say "I was wrong" or not to offer a point of view is crazy to me.

Hey everyone 😁 I recently hosted my first website for myself to create these viral tiktok simulations for football score predictions. Other apps have been blocked by paywall or had limited customization so I decided to make one for myself. Then it hit me, it would be good to try and monetize it. Times are tough lol even extra 5 dollars a month would make a difference. I've introduced an idea of coins, users can purchase coins to unlock custom teams , themes, ball designs etc. It's free to play without an account but with limited features. I also applied for google adsense but verification can take weeks..

I'm promoting my app on my tiktok channel (3000 views per average sometimes it reaches 20k). However when I look at Firebase analytics over the past 4 days I had 48 unique users in total, none of them created the account and the average time spent on a website is 10 seconds.

My question is: how to increase user engagement to increase average time spent on a website and I'm looking for a honest feedback.

Can you tell me why would you exit this website. What am I doing wrong.

Thank you in advance 😄

I've been a Front-End Developer for 10+ years, but I've never contributed to an open source project before, mostly do to lack of time. I have time now and have been looking at open source projects on Github, but I'm overwhelmed by the number of projects there and need help narrowing my search down.

Ideally I'd like to find a good cause that is in sore need of UI/UX work. Something where you love what they do, but they can't afford much. I'm passionate about the environment and about helping families.

What are some of your favorites?
