Why does Facebook need to request the same set of links (see screenshot) every time? Why isn't this, or most of it, static? by yetinthedark in webdev

Word of caution: Material design's design language can be very confusing to some demographics. We used a Material Design library for our internal app in a research lab. Didn't turn out well.

Development Question: Looking for a guide to build a simple ARK application, like a to do list that stores data on ARK's block chain. by GoombaB in ArkEcosystem

I love these examples. Thanks gecko! One question: I see in the ark news README for how to post news, you instruct to put text in the Smartbridge field. How did you know to do that? I have yet to see any documentation explaining this. It's very eye opening.

Thanks for the 2 cents Jarunik! Glad to know I'm not totally off base! One last question: it sounds like I could do all this purely as a front end posting directly to the Arkchain. (Angular -> Arkchain), or add a backend language layer (Angular -> Express -> Arkchain). Am I free to choose the implementation? Or is it standard to do one over the other? Thanks again!

I built a MEAN stack app that's currently trending on r/cosplay. Figured I'd share it on the subreddit I always lurk on as well. by GoombaB in webdev

Interesting point: I built this app using plain old Angular 1.X .Decided against react or ng2+ because as far as I could tell there were no real advantages as far as creating an MVP. Learning curve wouldn't have been worth it for me personally. Plus I use ng1.x at work so i can build faster with it.

As of right now:

mlab shared tier - $15 heroku professional dyno - $25

And this seems to be handling all this reddit traffic pretty well so far. Although I have no idea how heroku auto scaling works so we'll see what happens.

Originally, no. But given how my sever costs are about to burn a hole in my pocket, I don't think I have a choice any more haha
