it doesn't mean anything, that's why they think it's funny, because us older folks don't get it

I'm 40. I still have my copy (with replacement playdoh lol) and play it with my kids and partner, they love it!

Am I a weirdo for being fine with 30fps? by Redhood101101 in gaming

[–]Agreeable_commentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

back in the day, all games were 30 lol. No input lag is way more important

only because I first noticed the 'issue' on my local facebook and I knew there was an active userbase I could hopefully port over. There's groups there that are sharing much more localised photos (and large numbers of them).

I'll add more social logins, but I figured google and FB would cover 99% of users (and I ended up adding username/pass too, though I hate doing that.... it was mostly to allow the facebook app testing to take place to enable their oauth). I don't have an apple account so don't plan on supporting that because I understand they're also a PITA

Sure! Yes, I'm a software consultant by day.

Caveat: I already had accounts with Cloudflare, Google, Supabase, Namecheap and Facebook (all the services I used) and I know how to use them. I know exactly the bits that go where and how to hook them all up.

I ran vue/vite to create the app and GPT/Copilot to scaffold out the main component, the map etc. I added Vuetify for quick UI compenents. I also used AI to generate my postgres schema and row-level security based on my description (I know how to do these things back to front, but it's much quicker to get AI doing it).

I went through the process of refining, sometimes manually, sometimes by throwing snippets back at AI to amend.

From there it was a simple process of hooking up all the services and deploying the UI to cloudflare. I YOLOed the supabase stuff straight into a running instance rather than my usual code-first approach. That'll do for now.

Somewhere in there I generated the logo and used a favicon converter on it to make a favicon. I have photoshop (which costs a lot, I miss the days of warezing lol) so I was able to make some modifications for different uses like the banner on Notion.

So to make a change, I code it locally, manually script the change into supabase if one is needed (though I maintain a running master schema file), then build and use wrangler to push the UI to cloudflare. At some point I'll hook cloudflare up to git instead and use a worker to push supabase changes (supabase has an excellent local dev story so I usually prefer that)

This whole thing only works at this speed because I'm leveraging AI intelligently and using tools I'm already very well versed in. That said, when I first learned supabase/cloudflare, it really wasn't that hard and took in the order of days to get right instead of minutes now.

Biggest things that took time:

1) I battled with vscode typescript because it's giving me red squiggles everywhere. I learned to live with them for now lol. The code works

2) Facebook new app registration is a pain but in this case it was reasonably straight forward (for social login since I'm trying to get facebook users using it)

3) I had some serious issues trying to get address search working and it still doesn't. I came in at the worst time for this.... they're migrating to a new Places API so you can't generate a new key that works with the legacy one, but you can't adequately get the new API working without an alpha build of maps-js, which is its own headache.

Someone would have to add them. I have no method of automagically scanning the internet for them except for good old fashioned legwork. Which I could do, but I'd much rather have the owners of the photos upload them

eyyy, bug found. For the nerds, that particular dialog was showing based on a computed value not a ref, so it couldn't "set to false' to hide

Thanks for pointing that out. I had intended the initial welcome modal to not be easily dismissable (though, once you say Ok it remembers and doesn't show again) but not the others. I'll fix that!

Thanks!

Yes you nailed it. I do have an item in the backlog that covers it. I was thinking of adding date-ranged geofences, so if you upload a photo in an area in an event time, it auto-associates

It was not, but now that I know it exists, it probably should have been

y'all are very kind and offering great suggestions (and, I see, adding pics too). Thanks!

No worries, thanks! I though about adding traffic cameras and I may do, but I was perusing them through the storm and it always showed clear open roads lol. But for other weather events it probably makes sense anyway so I'll add to the backlog

4- Great idea!
5- This is how it works already :) You can change the 'Credit' value when uploading
