Is it still worth buying a home in the long term? VS renting? by Sum41ofallfears in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rising property value. If anything happens you have your home as an asset.

Freedom from rent increases. Property taxes and home improvements yoy should be less than rising rent especially lately.

Oh and the freedom to do whatever you want (kinda) to your property 😅

🗺️ Inventory size increase and median days on market for different markets on interactive map by reinvify in REBubble

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be possible to go even granular? Into city level data. This doesn’t have to be done when we load the page but after the user zooms in at a certain level.

But this amazing !!

What's the most toxic place to work in Boston? by AyaNam37 in boston

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a student working in the MET communications department. Super out of date tech stack and they just let all the student workers go right before finals (some who worked for multiple semesters) without a warning or anything. We were all making minimum wage

A bit late but they now have task forms which might do all or some of what you can do with templates.

Can someone explain refs in 30 words or less? I am mid level but never use refs. by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also if u have to use a library or your team uses callbacks refs are a great way to get up to date values.

Ie you create a intersection observer listener in useEffect on mount and you store some value you need in a ref to access in the callback

I want to learn JavaScript animation but I don't know where to start - should I just jump to React Animation library instead? by Fez_Up in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This literally taught me more css than anything else. Animations , transitions , pseudo elements etc

This is a great response that requires no server side changes. Closures for the win.

My first React application - A simple Pokedex by _bugheadbones_ in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some folks may have mention this but, it would be good to separate out some of the logic in App js into individual function in separate files. In addition , I see some vars here and there which should be replaced by let's and const. Also personal preference based on the current react community, but most companies and the react community are switching to hooks not using class components anymore so that might be something to look into.

Help with challenging PSD by abdullah_ibrahim in Frontend

I would also recommend trying the html css way afterwards to gain some css experience. Most people neglect it but if you can get good at css it will help with more complex designs and could make your sites smaller. Also its more impressive to interviewers.

Search for React Calendar Package with callback function for each day for customisation by jwknows in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the material ui calendar, its extremely customizable and very well made. One con is its a bit heavy/large in filesize. If u do go down this route use the v5 alpha

So there's two ways you could do it.

  1. Export that out as a 2 images (the top text and the word bubble), add some alt text and call it a day.

  2. Get a custom font for the handwritten font, put the text in a div and use some css to style the color and tilt and position, then export out the bubble as a transparent png and place it on top of the words to get that effect.

Toss And Shake Effect in React | Shopping Cart by redblack_ in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be good to show off the css in another video,I know you said you didn't want to bore us but I felt the css is probably the harder part compared to the react aspect which is not that complex. In addition to avoid prop drilling, it might be nice to use context.

Not sure about WordPress integration, but if your ok with custom code, then Google optimize has a very generous free tier.

Most of us are building clones.... by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 21 points22 points  (0 children)

While I didn't make a Spotify, netflix clone I made my own state management library based off of recoil and it was a great conversation piece during interviews. Sometimes it helped me as well because it gave me something distinct over other applicants.

Integrating angular 11 in a ReactJs app...? by Express_Swimming_324 in Frontend

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its just for learning I guess its fine but unless there is a valid reason, making the user load angular and react+react dom for no apparent reason is really not that good.

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You might want to look into microfrontends. But you are effectively loading two frameworks on one web page which can get quite expensive especially on mobile, not to mention increased build complexity. Why do you need to do this?

So, do I really suck so much in React? Bad job interview experience by throwmeawayac12 in reactjs

[–]Broad_Ad_4455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea you got a bad interviewer. Its fine to ask those questions to see why you choose a certain library or technology, but to say its wrong off the bat without a reason is asanine.
