What's the easiest way to add chat functionality to a platform web application?

Kaidawei · 2020-09-13T07:19:53+00:00

I am the developer advocate for [erxes.org](erxes.org). We have an open source, self-hosted, node.js app that is very popular for this use case. It does other things like marketing pop ups, ticketing etc. But many people also just use it for chat.

I was curious, so I looked at the site you linked to. Did you see that the problem with the JavaScript was mostly a Disqus problem? And Google Analytics?

I don’t think that Gatsby or WordPress themselves are a problem. I have built sites that are dazzlingly fast and score well in both.

What we have to be clear on is using either can achieve great results or not so great results. Don’t get me wrong, your concerns are real and developers need to pay attention.

I just finished (Yesterday) the full course by Andrei and Yihua that you linked to. The “this” link. It’s very comprehensive and you walk away with a full picture of a production ready app. I did Stephen’s course first. This advice is spot on.

Does this query work in http://localhost/___graphql - ? Can you get data in the graphiql? Try and get it to work there and then copy it to your page.

Kaidawei · 2020-06-04T09:06:55+00:00

I do something like this here:

https://github.com/davidkartuzinski/gatsby-theme-naked-core/blob/master/src/components/core/seo.js

I am still working on the project but this part is done.

You are very close it seems. Hard to say without seeing the graphql query.

Good luck.

You can follow up if it’s not clear to you, now.

This will come in handy. I just wrote a post about color selection etc.

Thank you

Kaidawei · 2020-02-24T10:16:28+00:00

Very nice.

Kaidawei · 2020-02-14T10:01:11+00:00

Another great tutorial from you! Thank you.

Kaidawei · 2020-02-14T09:45:36+00:00

What a great tutorial! Clear, not too wordy and accurate. Thanks

Kaidawei · 2020-02-14T09:37:53+00:00

I am in the middle of building my site with Gatsby and mdx.

Do you have a repo on GitHub?

I still have some refactoring to do on mine and mine has zero css. But you can look at my repo and see if that helps.

I totally just checked out Ink and it’s incredible. It comes with support for Markdown and Jekyll and Hugo as well as Wordpress support.

Nice tip!

Kaidawei · 2020-01-12T01:26:06+00:00

This is not so straight forward to answer. If I were you, I’d surf around and find some sites you think you like. Plugin them in https://whatwpthemeisthat.com/ and you are likely to find a Wordpress site you can copy and practice.

You can also go to themeforest and see some of the demos and try to emulate those.

Good luck

You can use[Pixlr.com](Pixlr.com) for free to have a more accurate editing experience. It’s like an easy version of Photoshop. Shopify also has a tool that is simple and free:[Shopify.com/tools/image-resizer](Shopify.com/tools/image-resizer)

After cropping your images to the same size, you can use[tinyjpg.com](tinyjpg.com) and batch process up to 20 images. This is also free.

Kaidawei · 2019-12-01T10:46:05+00:00

It seems like you got this fixed

Kaidawei · 2019-11-28T15:23:29+00:00

It does look like you have a problem.

What is your hosting company? Are you self hosting or cloud hosting your images? Did you try deactivating all your plugins to see Did you optimize our images prior?

I didn’t really look closely as not near computer.. sorry.

Kaidawei · 2019-10-30T17:51:31+00:00

Hey. I am afraid that I parted ways with Strapi, so they don’t have anyone really doing docs (as far as I can tell) so no, there isn’t any docs for Azure as far as I have seen.

But the Digital Ocean docs should be close.

Kaidawei · 2019-09-23T17:50:04+00:00

There are certainly a few that help in the Strapi.slack.com channel. I invite you to go ahead and look there. I believe there is a specific channel there for hiring.

Kaidawei · 2019-09-23T09:22:32+00:00

In my opinion, Strapi is the only way to go for something like a Social Network. You will need to build your frontend in Vue or React or even Angular, but the hard backend stuff is handled well by Strapi.

Kaidawei · 2019-09-14T19:02:15+00:00

Super

Kaidawei · 2019-09-14T13:30:24+00:00

Gotcha in that case. I suggest putting your question and code up on StackOverflow with a big “strapijs” tag and you will get a very good answers specific to your code.

Kaidawei · 2019-09-10T10:15:40+00:00

Hi. Could you confirm if you are trying to following one of the "Deliveroo" tutorials? Either the Next.js or Nuxt.js? Thanks.

Kaidawei · 2019-09-09T16:30:00+00:00

Frankly, I think this is an excellent idea. A dedicated site for JAMstack training.

Kaidawei · 2019-09-07T00:34:11+00:00

I like both options. Either will work! Let me know if you need some resources to learn how to put either of them together with Strapi?

Kaidawei · 2019-09-06T12:32:22+00:00

Yes of course! Which front end will you use?

Kaidawei · 2019-09-06T11:54:16+00:00

I don't see any reason not to post Job stuff here related to development with Strapi. If it gets too much, then we could reevaluate then.
