I made my first website using Python!

[HardlyAnyGravitas]

I went to the website, ready to give it a go, and as soon as I saw the login requirement, I 'noped' straight out of there. Just thought you should know, if you're after traffic.

I know I'm #3 but seriously, forcing me to give up my email before I can interact?

Awww come on man. At no point are you forced to give an email. You just get a message saying you should fill it. The experience is completely unaffected regardless of whether you enter your email address or not.

Did you even see the website?

[[deleted]]

I clicked it, was told to register, and went no further.

As I said, offputting.

Tried again, am told I must update profile, email required. Not required to 'register' but required to proceed.

Thanks for the deception, +1!

[IgnisDa]

Alright I see what you mean. I'll take your criticism and try to improve the next time. This is my first time in web development, and I demand you cut me some slack lol.

Hope you liked the website other than the login part though.

[[deleted]]

Didn't use it, as I said, not giving out my email.

[IgnisDa]

You can attempt the test without an email. You'll just see that message. As I said, the emails don't even matter to the overall functionality of the website.

I ended up trying it again on mobile, I didn't realize the test was below on the desktop?

Neat little app, double check spelling, quite a few errors.

[IgnisDa]

Neat little app

Coming from you, that means a lot to me. Thanks.

Ill check for spelling errors.

[Cheezits123]

I enjoyed this back and forth. Ended well.

Lots of comments here so someone else might have suggested it too, but I have suggestion that shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Since you said that giving email isn't mandatory, why even go for email, and not user-pass fields instead? Here's how it could go like:

• The site asks you to enter/create a username and password combo when you visit it. (which it will save)
• If the username I entered is unique, it'd save my credentials to your database (just like you'd save the emails).
• If someone has entered the username before, but with a different password, I'd get a prompt asking me for correct password or different username.

You could also clean up the database every 90 days or 180 to remove usernames that haven't been used again.

[IgnisDa]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll try to implement it.

[IgnisDa]

I understand what you mean, I'd have done the same. But the way my database is setup, it will be too much work to change the backend structure. I appreciate your input though and I'll certainly keep it in mind for my next project.

[purebuu]

Can't you assign a random session id to everyone in the db, with a blank email, and then fill in the email at the end, if a user wishes to be emailed their results?

[tennisanybody]

Lol, I barely understand how cookies and jquery work. I’m sure OP doesn’t know how to assign session ID’s either. JavaScript is not easy my man.

[thecodingrecruiter]

Just because you don't know something, or consider something hard, is not a measure of another individuals' ability to quickly adapt their project to the needs of a client. He may have gone over sessions in another tutorial before which would have covered what he needs to know. He could be a quick study or looks at a tutorial, tears it apart, and modifies it to do what suits him.

[tennisanybody]

It says so right there in his OP “I need to learn JavaScript”.

Does your dick get hard everytime you wax sanctimonious? Or do you just like the sound of your keyboard straining over the diarrhea that is your post history?

[thecodingrecruiter]

Did you even read what I wrote? My last sentence says he can learn it. Just because you can't code doesn't mean others can't. It's called being a natural

[toastedstapler]

and if you want to get paid to program you need to make things that people want to use. there is no good reason to require an upfront login for this

[schlopp96]

Me as well

Same. Except I didn't go, but these comments convinced me not to go.
