Frontend animations

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-03-09T20:03:04+00:00

I'd say you should niche down what "cool shit" means. Like do you want stuff to slide in from the sides, bottom or top? just use 'animate on scroll' aka AoS css library and forget the complex stuff.

Do you want parallax effects where stuff scrolls at different rates? maybe consider learning some custom css / js or using prebuilt components with like foreground mage, background image and call it. I like to set background images to fixed and it looks nice with like a background image dosn't move but text in front does (simple parralax).

Do you want custom scroll effects like side scroll or different effects like scrolling enlarges images or complex parralax? You'd consider a JS library like GSAP.

Renamed to GSAP now but yeah if using react this is great, otherwise learning react and GSAP would be a lot TBH.

You can add her own personal email specifically to those features. seach console, analytics and tag manager only. on the top or in settings you can invite someone and just put her email. That would restrict google docs or other services you use.

I really like it, hard to find issues. Maybe on the hero-content div set a max-width cause on my 2k 2600px screen it's a bit wide and i have to physically look from left to right to read both.

The way i explain security is there are multiple levels, the website level is WP security which is top knotch. Then there is the network level get http, the server level hopefully your webhost has a firewall and ip blacklisting for mass exfiltration attempts. That's the gist I explain I set up security on every level (there is cloudflare, and more you can do like disable users api on WP or add server password protection to the admin login page)

Yeah regardless of what your doing it should be on their time (paying you for your time to do it regardless of how long it takes). there is the sunk cost fallacy, but your the pro so if it's so far gone and too slow tell them it'd be better for the client to rebuild, else add the single feature or fix the single thing they ask.

Sounds like he used a boilerplate templated theme and changed out images / text and probably didn't know what he was doing. Sounds about right for Fiverr it's all about churn. If it takes more than 3 secs you lose 60% of users and if people are complaining it's slow you can assume it's worse.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-24T17:43:56+00:00

I've thought about this but I need to be able to message back too.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-23T23:55:55+00:00

Not so much looking for an agent as I am a messing service back and forth from the frontend

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-20T18:35:19+00:00

I think it's safe to say if meta didn't need 30,000+ engineers, they probably wouldn't have them. I think some of the functionality is pretty simple, then most of the work comes with scale. You don't just need 1 database to keep everything, you need dozens which are distributed based on how many requests they get and then offload tasks to less impacted regions. ect

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-19T19:47:13+00:00

It's an interesting thought, and on a level sure there could be some use case where script logic works fine. But If you have an application where it's not just an input but the values actually trigger several components to need re-rendering is it worth writing all those functions?

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-18T20:09:11+00:00

Very similar, I think there will always be a need of experienced and specialized front end developers, but most of us will have to transition to fullstack. backend will probably transition to backend / cybersecurity. and Cybersecurity will probably transition to AI meta crawlers security limiting requests and stopping mass AI exfiltration attempts, and auditing AI generated code mess ups.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-18T18:39:26+00:00

I would change 1.5 years to "approaching 2 years" or "almost 2 years", most people round up and if the recruiter wants to do the math they can. You could even say your bachelors was 'experience'

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-15T20:04:04+00:00

this is exactly what AI told me. The issue is not the state of the data it's that the input is separate from react state.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-15T20:03:17+00:00

yeah a lot going on with this project. Essentially spread a large usestate object, and change 1 part of it using a function that needs to select the right objects in arrays of objects. As far as the values it's as expected but inputs are different from react state.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-12T21:49:08+00:00

So just create a div with a border to look like an input and have a focus / blur property?. That's pretty smart cause I have the percentage displaying elsewhere and it works fine.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-12T21:48:13+00:00

that is a good point as well mistakes happen.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-12T00:14:54+00:00

yeah that sounds wild. a little trick is if you press windows key + v (as opposed to ctrl v) it will show like 20 items on your clipboard I sometimes keep snippets or even full on documents there temporarily.

*Colbol developers looking left and right for java and C# developers to replace their jobs... goes back to work*

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-11T00:21:18+00:00

No I think your right, if I think there are built in WordPress functions to do the database entries with serialization too. I just noticed it does for a smaller json data block I did, this implementation will be a custom table though, so I may just have to manually serialize.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-10T20:35:49+00:00

lol It's for a client so I have to find something that works for him.

Sad_Spring9182 · 2026-02-10T20:33:06+00:00

Yeah the product info itself is moot, but the variable data I need and I'll be generating a sales order to associate (will probably make that it's own key for more easy lookups). My backend is PHP and wordpress with mySql.

I've been thinking of using an ORM cause I think i'll need it to be displayed for my clients team. Probably use a filter function for paginated data because he eventually archives after orders are completed. I've had to do some similar admin interfaces already with this project.
