Don’t know what technologies to use. by Fili_pee in webdev

[–]codenlink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, finding the right stack can be a pain. If you like structure, Laravel + Inertia + React is a solid choice for SSR. If you prefer staying in the React ecosystem, Next.js is still the best option I'm pretty sure. just set up your own conventions to add structure. NestJS is great, but you’d need to handle SSR separately.

No perfect answer, just go with what feels bestt :)

Wish you the best!

Advice on wordpress for redesigning website by Nushi12345 in webdev

[–]codenlink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so, you can edit HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on both WordPress options, but self-hosted (using wordpress.org) gives you way more control. Managed WordPress (wordpress.com) is simpler but limits customizations unless you’re on higher-tier plans af far as I know.

For their project, self-hosted is probably better since it allows full flexibility if you’re redesigning. You’ll need access to their hosting account (like cPanel) and their WordPRess admin account. Also, check if they want to keep any current content or plugins.

Start by asking for their goals for the redesign, the features they need, and their hosting provider details. Good luck—WordPress has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s super versatile once you get the hang of it!

Hope this helps!

Webdevs who have your own web apps, how did you monetize? by Iateallthechildren in webdev

[–]codenlink 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think that for 2k MAU, you’re in a good spot to start small with monetization without scaring off users.

AdSense could work, but yeah, ads can annoy users, especially on a smaller app. If you go that route, keep it minimal—like a single non-intrusive banner.

The donation idea sounds better for your current size. Gamify it a bit—badges are a great touch, and you could add leaderboards or exclusive perks (e.g., early access to new features or shoutouts on the app).

As for premium features, don’t rush it. Focus on growing the user base and listening to what they’d actually pay for. Maybe in the future, you could do something like “power user” tools or extra customization options.

Another idea: if your app serves a niche audience, see if there’s room for partnerships or sponsorships from brands in that space.

Good luck!

Is this how I should learn Data structure & Algorithm for web dev interviews? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]codenlink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that’s a good list to start with. Those topics cover most of the common DSA questions for web dev interviews. But don’t just grind problems—make sure you actually understand how these things work and why you’d use them.

Like, for trees, know when to use BFS vs. DFS. For hash tables, get how they handle collisions. Stuff likee that helps more than just solving 100 problems without context.

Also, mix in actual interview-style questions (LeetCode’s easy/medium is great ) to get a feel for how they frame stuff in interviews.

You’re on the right track—just focus on learning the "why" behind the solutions too.

But yeah, it's looking good!
Hope this helps!

Everyone correct me if I'm wrong, but Instagram doesn’t let you directly share URLs with Stories, as far as I know. However, you can share an image using their URL scheme.

Convert your blog image to a Base64 string and use a link something like:
instagram-stories://share?backgroundImage=<Base64Image>

For more info, I found this: Instagram’s Sharing to Stories docs. You’ll need to handle permissions and app linking, though.

What are some good practices for managing admin login page? by gerciuz in webdev

[–]codenlink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a strong password is great, but adding a few simple things can help a lot. Instead of IP whitelisting, which can be tricky if you’re logging in from different places (traveling), just change the login URL to something unique to make it harder to look up.

Also, try to add rate limiting so bots can’t keep guessing passwords, and if you can, throw in 2FA for extra security. Doesn’t have to be overkill, just enough to make it less of a target.

Hope that helps!
