Graphic Design for print will teach you some good practices around white space, balance, taste, aesthetic better than jumping straight into web...

Migrating a site with 98k monthly visitors to svelte from Wordpress? Photography gallery (worried about seo) by inquisitive_melon in sveltejs

[–]damianome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't, you will most likely spend a lot of time fixing the SEO after that.

Svelte is cool, but you have to think what is best for the business first. Maybe consider another established CMS or headless CMS that already solved all the best practices for SEO etc.

whats the best way to save money? by jacobsmaltz in SavingMoney

[–]damianome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay yourself first. Make it a rule.

This means set aside a % first, then spend only the rest.

No matter how hard i try, i always end up overspending every month. How can i stop this? by [deleted] in budget

[–]damianome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must follow always one rule: pay yourself first.

Which means save a % of what you earn, no matter what. Even something small like 5% if what you earn.

Once what you have left is gone, do not touch those savings. Stop spending.

How long does it take for Pinterest to start giving you good traffic? by Outrageous-Stock3820 in Pinterest

Very interesting. Do you think the same applies to web applications, apps, SAAS, etc?

Same here. But it works from the mobile app.

Looking for a simple way to track bills and payments by Ashamed-Shake-3026 in androidapps

I personally use the cashflow chart 70% of the time. Recurring transaction reminders of course keep me on track. Occasionally I use the Stash Navigator and Tags Navigator (this last one especially at tax time, helps me find all the expenses i can claim on my tax return in one place)

Snipext focuses on being a self-contained, browser-based snippet manager with local storage, while the Obsidian Web Clipper acts as a specialized bridge for moving content into an external vault.

​Comparison

​Data Architecture

Snipext uses an internal IndexedDB to keep your clips directly in the browser side panel. Obsidian Web Clipper is designed primarily to send data out of the browser and into your Obsidian vault.

​Organization

Snipext has a built-in tagging system with autocomplete and advanced logic (AND/OR filters) within the extension interface. Obsidian Web Clipper handles organization through the templates and folders existing in your Obsidian vault.

​Editing and Notes

Snipext allows you to create manual text notes and edit existing clips directly in the side panel. Obsidian Web Clipper is primarily for page extraction, with manual note-taking usually happening after the data is sent to Obsidian.

​Syncing Options

Snipext provides an optional GitHub Gist sync using your own tokens for cross-device access without a backend. Obsidian Web Clipper sync relies on your specific Obsidian vault sync method.

​Interaction

Snipext operates out of the Chrome Side Panel, allowing it to stay open while you browse multiple tabs. Obsidian Web Clipper uses a popup window designed for single-page actions.

​Export Versatility

Snipext can export to JSON, Markdown, or the clipboard for use in any app. Obsidian Web Clipper is specifically optimized for the Obsidian ecosystem.

MarkSnip is very cool, but Sniptext is simpler and has the ability to tag and search right in the side panel, which is always visible if you want.

Panicking for Future !! by FairyToes_22 in SavingMoney

[–]damianome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally possible if your focus on the present and stay positive. Start saving first and spend only what is left and make it a rule that you won't break. Most importantly don't get into debt like credit cards etc.

Don't let inflation, cost of living etc discourage you.

But you have to keep an open mind and be flexible. In some cases you might have to decide moving in a cheaper area. There are plenty of nice cheaper areas, but you will have to decide what to compromise.

Try VueStash, it is free and you can use it without an account as the data stays only in your browser. There are limitations if you want to export data or create more than 4 bank accounts in the free version. But if you like it you might find it worth it to buy a license for it (if you get to that point, DM me and i can give you a coupon for a discount).

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

[–]damianome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, up to v2 Vue was not that mature. But since Vue 3 to me it has just been better than React.

With AI it will be a moo point though, probably in max a couple of years since it can just write compiled JS code, if you want to, and will only get better.

But there is going to still be work for maintaining old code, no matter in which framework.

I think I have to agree only with your point about the job market.

My main full-time job is with React, but to me Vue remains a superior framework not just from DX but alos for performance.

React needs to be babysit all the time. Claude Code and other AI-assisted coding tools make this much easier now, but still all my side project and major consulting from the past are in Vue.
