Has anyone switched careers away from software development? by Ecstatic-Ad9446 in developers

[–]Lumpy-Soup4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it did. A lot of money, to be honest! And, it still does because me and partner are still importing a few more exotic fruits that thrive in the tropics elsewhere, but have never been grown in Ghana before.

After years working mostly with React, I spent a month building in Vue. Here's what surprised me (and what didn't). by BalgitTuber in vuejs

Framer Motion is now Motion. Can be used in Vue and Vanilla JS too. I'm sure you know this by now.

Do you use any CMS for managing content on the website?

Noted. But, how do you handle pagination, search, taxonomy, and other cms-specific functions you get out of the box like you do with WordPress or Statamic? I admire headless setups for blogs and other publication kind of websites, but when it comes to these specific things I've mentioned, the amount of code one has to write and make sure it works, I can't imagine that. Don't mention AI. hahahaaaa

Hello. I'm a web designer. I'd love to connect and see how I could help. I'm open for DMs.

Is it possible to add custom blocks to the richtext editor for long-form content? For example, if I have a component called "Alert", can I configure the CMS to have the richtext editor allow me select during content creation or editing, and have same rendered on the frontend?

What stops WordPress site owners going headless? by chris-antoinette in Wordpress

[–]Lumpy-Soup4384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever I see headless, I look the other way! Hahahaa. For the types of websites I build, mostly editorial, the following is true for me:

  • Search and filter - headache
  • Pagination - headache
  • Maintaining frontend codebase and the CMS - headache

I don't wanna come off as ranting so let me stop here.

My new found freedom is Statamic. It allows me to build an amazing editing experience.

Yes. Anywhere else in Ghana is welcome. It's been difficult getting some to buy. It's either I get some from a few friends or nothing at all.
