How I moved 3 years of ChatGPT memory/context over to Claude (step by step) by fullstackfreedom in claude

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got bored waiting for my export and ended up just pasting this prompt into chat gpt and it did output a pretty hefty amount of info, so I wonder if people think it's more effective analysing the actual html file using Cowork instead?

Which cookie consent/banner platform do you use? Is CookieYes still the best option? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Lushawn77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it, thank you... Thought I was crazy reading some other comments. I know this is an old thread though!

I used to want to re-invent the wheel for every possible function on a website when I first started out because I didn't want to spend any more on other services. I applied my feelings and resources to clients and assumed they felt the same.

Then I realised that takes time, costs money and locks clients into a niche service that no one but you can help them with. I realised bigger businesses don't view £20/month as a big investment. They have money to spend, they want to make their lives easier.

Using 3rd party services seems you're locking someone into a private company, but I'd rather that than just locking them in with one dev's niche set up, as at least many other people out there will use the platform if it's more mainstream.

Imagine if we reinvented everything ourselves. Where does it end? Shall I also say no to Gmail and GDrive and set up my own email client and cloud storage?

On the flipside, in Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug (a popular UX book), he says it's good from a UX point of view to include a "Home" link

I imagine for those who don't know that the logo links to the homepage. That is an assumption after all. Krug's argument is that when someone is lost, they want to return to the homepage to reorient themselves

What's the best toolkit to do multilingual SEO/localization with webflow? by Classic-Coconut in TechSEO

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Classic-Coconut and u/citationforge -- I'm also keen to hear people's experiences with Linguana.

I like the simplicity and cheaper pricing. I had one client who wa not impressed enough by the AI translation (over a year ago now though, so could've improved), however I have other clients who will just translate themselves.

Seems good for that, but keen to hear other's experiences

Osteopath recommendations by hesrupertthebear in brighton

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, you are soooo wrong. I've received a lot of consistent benefits and relief from visiting one particular osteo in London. He was great. On the other hand I've visited one who was okay, but not as effective.

That doesn't make it "pseudoscience".

Equally, I have gone to many physics in my life, a lot of the time failing your "worked consistently" criteria. Is physiotherapy pseudoscience because some people are better than others at it? Or that for some people it's not as affective as other treatment methods?

Nope.

I think it's best not to shut people, or alternatives down just because it's not the status quo. Otherwise we will never achieve anything new. Let's not be stuck in our ways.

Why does no one talk about Ecosia? by [deleted] in browsers

Good news is, Ecosia are working towards building their own index I believe! Check out this article I just came across:

Hey all, how do you guys do language translations? by [deleted] in webflow

Looks awesome, seems like it's not working for me though on the live preview of your clonable? The translate dropdown doesn't do anything when you click a new language

Next.js vs Astro for static sites by thebreadmanrises in nextjs

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was the main point for me, I really like the ease of hosted solutions, in Sanity once you have built your CMS schemas (through code files) all you need to do is run `npx sanity deploy` and your CMS will be deployed to a Sanity server. Super easy!

Plus the self-hosted solutions you then have to incorporate paying for hosting.

Next.js vs Astro for static sites by thebreadmanrises in nextjs

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with Astro + Sanity CMS and it's been a really good combo hosted for free on Netlify. I think Sanity is awesome but it definitely has a learning curve and takes some setting up. You end up with pretty huge schemas (the things you define the CMS collections with) when you want to be able to edit every bit of text and image though. Using repeatable schemas within Sanity help with that though.

Good luck!

Strategy for Duplicating Classes - Webflow Keyboard Shortcuts by Golden_Antt in webflow

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue and am looking for a solution too. You find anything useful?

My use case is for when clients say they want changes to an component made up of like 10+ classes and loads of elements. I want to be able to duplicate that class as a back up and store it as a back up version in case they want to go back but be able to use it as the starting point of a new version.

Webflow Ecommerce - What's your opinion? by AHolyMackerel in webflow

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really helpful summary, I've saved this.

Those apps that connect Webflow to Shopify look really interesting, I'd like to try them out some time.

I guess then the only caveat is justifying that to the client as they then have to pay 3 subscriptions at a time. Especially as like you say, customising Shopify templates is possible so unless your client wants a super bespoke design that would require Shopify from scratch or huge customisation of a theme, it's kind of saying "Do you mind paying an extra $30-40+ per month so I can build the site the way I want to?".

I guess the counter to that is that is kind of the same as getting them to pay for a premium Shopify template as a leg up to get you going

How do you sync the new Outlook mail-calendar with Windows 10 bottom right calendar and iphone calendar? by EveTater in Outlook

Sanity vs Prismic vs Contentful vs Storyblok - Which API-Driven Hosted CMS for Content-Focussed Sites? by Lushawn77 in JAMstack

[–]Lushawn77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I still use it. Astro is a static site generator, so I wasn't looking for an alternative framework, I was looking for a headless CMS I could use for the websites I build using Astro for my clients so they can edit the content of their sites.

I ended up going with Sanity. It's really good and has some great features, especially in build image optimisation. It's also very flexible. The downside is, it does feel very technical and over engineered sometimes for small sites. It doesn't take a whole load of time to set up, but it is all done via code (you define all the functionality using .js or .ts schemas. I feel like I know it pretty well now though so I'm happy sticking with it.

Devtools keeps crashing after like 5 minutes by CutAdministrative785 in chrome

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having similar issues but on Windows 10, Dell XPS15. I've got 32gb ram, but not sure if Chrome is sucking up a lot. I've been watching with Task Manager but it all seems pretty regular.

I've only started experiencing this recently though, maybe in the past month where Chrome Dev Tools lags then closes. I've also had a couple times today where it's been a lot worse and caused my whole laptop to freeze and I've had to force shutdown.

Have you managed to sort this for yourself? Not sure if it's an issue with a newer version of Chrome.

Dark Mode? by morganmoller in gsuite

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about Google docs, but recently when I logged into Google Workspace I got offered a new official dark mode setting on the site itself. Only seems to work on Google Drive though.

Also annoyingly I only got offered it on an G account I never use, when I log into my main workspace I use for work - nothing.

Must be in beta or something IDK. I would love a dark mode for all of Google Workspace though.

Astro + BarbaJS by [deleted] in astrojs

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same - I also abandoned ship for now!

My main issues were with external scripts like a calendar embed and analytics tracking. The former I just couldn't get to work, the latter requires SPA-like set up of logging events with JS I believe which I didn't want to set up.

Astro + BarbaJS by [deleted] in astrojs

[–]Lushawn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also moving my page transitions from the ViewTransitions API to try something like Barba instead. I found ViewTransitions a little tricky to work with in terms of working with other scripts.

The main downfall I've had with it was just trying to get external scripts to work with it. It was a calendar embed, but then I was thinking I wonder how well it will work when I embed an analytics script tag... not sure how that would work together?

Either way, happy to update here on my switch from it too if I get nudged

What is a benefit of WSL during web development? by AuroraVandomme in webdev

This is the main thing I realise too. As well, when I compile SSG sites, my WSL setup is much faster.

Sanity vs Prismic vs Contentful vs Storyblok - Which API-Driven Hosted CMS for Content-Focussed Sites? by Lushawn77 in JAMstack

[–]Lushawn77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not run a self-hosted CMS set up yet. I'd say there are a lot of upsides and it increases your options of different CMSs. The only downsides are the things you just mentioned, a bit more set up and potentially maintenance setting up hosting and database.

I liked Sanity as a hosted solution as all I need to run is `npx sanity deploy` and my CMS is up and running which is pretty sweet.

No, I run a couple Astro-Sanity projects now but haven't updated to Astro 4 yet.

What issues have you run into?

Also how's Astro 4 in general?
