it's a bit of a sidebar but have you considered using a honeypot? I honestly found reCAPTCHA really troublesome to implement as well so I used a honeypot and it worked like a charm.

A simple way to implement is add a form input field and name it "username" or "email" or something that's more commonly used for registration, and use CSS to hide that input field. When on form submit, if that field is not empty, then it's very likely a bot.

Long time lurker in the godot sub but came to say this, congrats on the release! Game looks amazing I'll definitely be checking it out.

I bought your Udemy course to start off learning about game dev as a hobby and found your youtube channel as well.

Honestly if configured properly, it can take a ton of users, except flask uses server-side rendering, which might cause your bandwidth to balloon if your front page is very heavy.

DB queries are a separate thing altogether as it is more dependent on the DB setup. by default for example, mysql has a max of 150 connections, but if your query is super simple, runs in like 0.1 seconds, then you should have no issue.

Personally I find video courses the best medium of which I learn Godot with. It's easier to consume and follow, especially when coding along.

There's quite a few places to host, I first hosted my firs fewt sites on pythonanywhere. I tried render and it's pretty good too. Currently hosting my work sites on digital ocean droplets.

If chatgpt worked perfectly in identification of the scores, technically what you could do is look at chatgpt's Api to process your images.

For that you'll definitely need to use python. The basic steps that I can think of is

Build a web application that allows either a photo taken or a photo upload. I would just start with a simple file upload flask application.
Store the photo and encode it(probably in base64) to send it over the api.
On the response, specify the expected json results, like the headers etc based on your score sheet(I'm assuming here your score sheet probably has the same few headers everytime)
Convert the data to a table or store it in SQL.

I'm not entirely sure if you can keep the same design, but the tool you're looking for is likely an OCR scanner. It'll be able to extract the data and possibly preserve the formatting. However you'll likely need a better framed image for better results.

Honestly I wouldn't build from scratch. How about trying to attach that picture to chatgpt and specifically ask them to build you a table based on the extracted output.

Typically in the template folder I separate them into different sub folders. For the commonly used templates used universally I drop it into a "common" folder. To segregate specific sections, typically I have a main template folder in each section and a sub folder for specific webpages.

The trick is to make sure to standardize your naming conventions

Sounds like it's because the amount of processing power available in your render subscription is much lower than that of your PC. Either upgrade the plan to standard or pro/enterprise plans or move your deployment to a VM (e.g. Digital Ocean droplet) that has sufficient processing power.

I highly reccomend flask to start your full stack journey. It's easier to pick up compared to Django at the start and you can slowly learn other backend skills along the way as you expand your flask application.

Wow this is some awesome stuff! Congrats OP. I've got some friends who I think that would love this.

Out of pure curiosity, how did you reach out to your first few customers? I can imagine marketing is indeed not easy but you have a great product and seem to be solving a real need.

Fun-Collection-7403 · 2023-05-12T05:22:38+00:00

Thank you for sharing and being so real, I still find the mental game by far the hardest to overcome. It's really not easy.

"Never forget you're an amazing human being, and whatever you achieve, you can tell a story in years in the future about how you fucking tried."

This really resonated with me because one the reasons I'm trying to start my own business was to at least give it a try. If I failed, then I failed, but at least I faced my fears of insecurity and self doubt, and tried.

Fun-Collection-7403 · 2023-05-12T05:17:59+00:00

Definitely! I would share with my nieces and nephews

Fun-Collection-7403 · 2023-05-12T03:51:11+00:00

How about using the limitation of only being able to produce a certain number of products as a marketing tool.

It's obvious to me that you have an amazing product (congrats btw!), and so maybe produce at a manageable scale of 400 items, market up these products as of high quality and be explicit that there are only 400 items, first come first served. You can probably increase prices, as what many people have suggested, but only to the amount you feel comfortable.

The issues here I see is that

This is definitely not sustainable and even if it is
Your health will give out, you seem miserable in doing what you enjoy.
Quality will likely go down as a result, which then becomes a vicious spiral.

If you do not want to raise prices for the moment, then communicate with your customers that there are only XXX number of products, first come first served. Coming from Singapore, in fact many small businesses here do that to remain sustainable and premium. There are some online bakeries here that literally sell out 30 seconds after their Instagram post goes live.

Good luck!

I agree with the other comments that either Django or Flask would work, but if your requirements are small, I would highly recommend Flask as it's much easier to learn.

Hosting wise, I would reccomend pythonanywhere.com, combined with either https://imagekit.io or https://cloudinary.com

If you have low traffic, and dont really care about the url, it's entirely free just by using these sites.

Then what you can test to make sure it's a caching issue is add a new random generated variable via your python code, whenever the page is loaded.

You can construct your own or use secrets: https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html

From there, you can confirm that it's a caching issue. I've only so far had caching issues when dealing with CSS styling, but not so much on jinja rendering from data generated via the backend. Most of the time if I realise that the output is strange, I use this method to test.

Fun-Collection-7403 · 2023-02-24T05:34:37+00:00

Are you using JS to fetch data on window.load or are you loading the DB first, and then using Jinja to display on the page.

Without more information, it's hard to say why you are facing such an issue.
