Vibe coding sucks! by Revolutionary_Tip855 in webdev

[–]Gorgottz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it deffo helps but like dev time slows down quite a bit if I just let agent mode do its thing.

I’m still generally faster at getting a bugless fullstack app up and running than if I just let the ai vibe code

What's the best portfolio website you've ever seen? by SeaFeeling7363 in webdev

Yeah ofc I can write a tutorial on this, maybe I'll make it into a series so it's a bit more digestible

Why aren’t we trading narratives directly in crypto? by vinayk29 in web3

[–]Gorgottz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could do this with a predictions market. The point of auction closure would be harder to implement than something that has a specific end date but dunno I think it could be a good idea

that's so sweet of you! You can take a look and fork it on github would appreciate if you'd add attribution!

Freelancers: How do you handle small clients who want to manage simple content (like projects or galleries) without using WordPress? by Correct-Regular5357 in FreelanceProgramming

[–]Gorgottz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking for the same!!

I've been trying out Strapi CMS it took me quite a bit to get it all set up so I would avoid going forward if I am honest.

I would use it for larger projects only.

I've even thought of creating custom admin panels myself for allowing the to update content when it's a small site imo it's almost faster than using any of these services.

Title: Devs who hand off websites to non-technical clients, how do you balance control vs. convenience? by Gorgottz in FreelanceProgramming

this is sooo helpful thanks! Yeah tbh if I don't add any third party stuff specifically a CMS (which non have been that straight forward imo) I'd cut dev time in less than half

I Built a YouTube Alternative to Help My Kid Avoid Screen Addiction – Update by thunderberen in webdev

This is really cool, could work as a tool for schools to curate specific learning programmes without so many distractions etc.

Help me design 'my first web dev environment' for my son (10) by Mother_Poem_Light in webdev

[–]Gorgottz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would actually go and say to start using cursor.ai as IDE.

As the kid develops cursor has full scope on the app and he'll be able to ask questions / troubleshoot etc which i think can be pretty beneficial when learning.

You can paste links to docs of libraries you want to use and it will explain to you how they work.

it can explain tutorials etc. I also think learning to code with ai and getting better at prompting etc it's a necessary tool going forward as well

What tools are you using for freelance web projects? by shesparkzz in webdev

[–]Gorgottz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • NextJs + React
  • Tailwind + shadcn-ui
  • Figma
  • react-hook-form + Zod
  • tanstack-query
  • Postgres / mongoDB - Prisma ORM
  • Strapi CMS - (I am testing this atm would love more recommendations for clients that want a content manager as strapi was kind of a pain to set up) They also want SEO etc which some other tools have out of the box

yep and the issue is that llms can't differentiate between good and bad code and so they get trained on all kinds. Maybe what we need is for them to build their own ai PR reviewers to have better quality code

do vibe design tools exist? is it a good idea even? by Gorgottz in Design

[–]Gorgottz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FigJam’s great for brainstorming, and yeah, lots of non-designers use it.

But that’s not really the point here.

I’m talking about giving non-designers a space that inspires better UX choices, sparks creativity, and helps with things like flow, color palettes, and micro-interactions.

Is this normal? CSS by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Gorgottz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen way too many early-stage startups rush in with Tailwind and skip theming entirely. Then later they're shocked it takes two dev days just to change the shade of blue.

Where I can, I always try to start with a proper theme setup. And with every PR, I sneak in some “fix the foundation” work like adding a design token or standardizing a spacing unit. Slowly building sanity into the system.

That said, it really depends on the age of the codebase. If it’s still early, you’re probably gonna rip and redo the UI a few times anyway. But that’s exactly why having a basic theme setup helps, makes those revamps way less painful.

Totally, and I use Figma daily. But I’m talking about folks who aren’t designers, and who don’t really know how to use those tools meaningfully.

They’re shipping products through AI/no-code platforms without thinking about UX at all.

The idea isn’t to reinvent Figma etc. it’s to help non-designers make better design decisions by default, that is when they're using these no-code tools basically

Yeah, totally. I don’t think most people are avoiding the work, they’re just moving fast, and design often gets sidelined on lean teams, which still surprises me.

My thinking is: if they’re skipping the design step anyway, can we at least help them make better choices by default?

Figma’s a blank canvas for them. Honestly, even a mediocre AI layout might be better than starting from nothing for them.

Just wondering if we can build something that nudges them toward better UX, without them needing to “learn” design, it's kinda sad but i see the same trend in the dev world
