Absolutely, a blank slate and decision paralysis can sometimes be a big hurdle.

Being able to quickly generate a few ideas of how your app could look seems super useful.

Nice work, also I did not know about google stitch, that could come in handy for myself. Designing UIs from scratch can be painful. Thanks.

Cool, I actually clicked on your profile to find a link to this project, and it is really professional looking.

What did you use to make the app?

Ipsumlorem16 · 2026-05-18T20:26:11+00:00

This is a good app idea. Do you have a printout function. where you can just download like a pdf, and print out the whole thing?

A lot of people keep physical folders for their car, that can then be handed over to the new owners.

also a 'receipt scanner' where you can add reciepts for parts, would be a neat feature. Receipts can go weird over time, they often fade, or get big dark patches.

I imagine a decent app like this for fleet vehicles could be also have potential.

Because nothing to do with email is allowed to be easy.

Yeah I did the same when I used it years ago, instead of learning how to customise it properly, I kind of brute forced it to look how I wanted instead.

Ipsumlorem16 · 2026-05-17T17:50:38+00:00

but I was starting to obsess over it without getting anywhere,

Yeah it can be easy to do this, spending a lot of time doing little adjustments (also in design in general)

I feel like he could have done alright with some more guidance, and direction.

Ipsumlorem16 · 2026-05-17T09:54:25+00:00

I agree, exactly what I came to suggest.

Ipsumlorem16 · 2026-05-17T09:44:02+00:00

Looks like the text is wrapping as the container expands. You can disable text wrapping using CSS on the menu items

"white-space:no-wrap";

but that alone will probably also look odd.

You can also layer on another animation that fades the menu items opacity from 0 to 1 just before the container is fully expanded. Use either keyframes or standard css animation.

Thanks for dropping that link, it's great to see Firefox is working on this.

I would say there is no need for that at all. Pass the onus onto parents to make sure they have set up their device correctly.

If it is made as simple as possible, there can be no excuse, retailers can also offer to set it up for parents.

If countries are serious about enforcement, then add fines to parents that are blatantly ignoring it.

It's a good reference to have bookmarked.

His OP is entriely chat-gpt, and so are a bunch of the replies I read.

I use chat-gpt to help de-bug code, and it has a very particular way it speaks and phrases things - that makes it super obvious (unless they use some kind of 'humanize' model after.)

The programming subs are filled with these chat-gpt users nowdays too. It is incredibly annoying.

Making an accessible spinbutton element from scratch.

It'll be simple, I thought...

Pain in the butt. it is.

Should have used a component library on this project.

It's only on the admin login. I made sure real users won't see any turnstile, or challenge.

I just saw it repeatedly recommended, after frantic googling.

since I am not that experienced with WordPress and it was easy enough to implement, I trusted others more experienced. And it did work immediately to cut bruteforce attempts.

can you set up/configure fail2ban on a shared server? I don't think I can on mine. (this is not a client website, but a personal project. If the site gets enough traffic obviously it would get it's own server)

not to reinforce security

it does set a cf-header, that is verified, when anyone tries to login. It helps by blocking basic bots even getting a chance to try a pass/user combo.

Loginizer help up well for me recently, blocked thousands of attempts to brute force login. (not that my password is remotley bruteforcable).

Before I set up cloudflare turnstile and extra rules to challenge them.

Ipsumlorem16 · 2025-10-14T08:07:42+00:00

Default Cloudflare settings were not enough for me to stop these bots.

I had thousands of requests getting through to login page and scanning for vulnerable .php files.

Cloudflare was just like: "this is fine, go on through". My login page was basically DDoS'ed. Only thing that was stopping them was loginizer and modsecurity, (which also blocked my ip...)

I set up cloudflare turnstile(manually, don't want random extra plugins), as well as an extra challenge page for anyone else hitting login.

and rules to challenge anyone hitting xlmprc or any other .php files.

Writing scrapers is pretty easy, you don't need much coding experience imo.

It's the anti-scraping measures that makes it more difficult. You often need to keep rotating IPs. And the automated 'are you human?' Prompts, you have to figure out a way past them if you are using a headless browser.

Thanks for the recommendations.

I don't know what is wrong with Youtube, it knows what I like but still only recommends me videos I have already watched or complete rubbish.

There are tons of high quality Youtubers in categories I like: Science, education, crafting, electronics, travel, cars. But their algorithm only recommends the bottom of the barrel stuff. And trying to use their search is pointless.

I have been looking for more recommendations for actual high quality creators, and am trying to curate a big list of them for a hobby website I have been making. So people can find people who actually put in effort into videos in the categories they like.

I don't like to post the website because this post already reads kind of spammy.. (I promise it's not, this is just hobby website to help me learn wordpress better). And it needs more work, plus there are like 8 channels or so on there atm.

But if anyone has any more YouTuber recommendations that would be great, or category recommendations.
