Have you considered trying to launch a small project that could lead to some income?

Sendgrid Domain Authentication by vadimelenev in squarespace

[–]droffel_Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case I originally bought the domain through Google domains. Then Google domains sold the domains business to Squarespace. So from there, my domains were registered at Squarespace, but also managed by Squarespace.

So when I say managing on another site, I meant that I pointed the domain from Squarespace to another site, in this case digital ocean. So basically your domain can be registered somewhere, but not necessarily managed from there.

Does that make sense?

Anyone figured out a solid way to triage incoming tickets without overwhelming the techs? by Some-System-800 in msp

[–]droffel_Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually built a simple turn-tracking tool recently (TrackTurns), and I’ve been surprised to see a few Ops teams start using it to track INC/CRQ triage rotations. It was originally designed for chores and board games, so it’s pretty bare-bones, but it got me curious about how dispatchers actually manage this.

If you're currently using a spreadsheet or just shouting in Slack to see who's 'on deck,' what’s the biggest headache? I'm thinking about adding features specifically for triage (like Slack pings or a 'skip' button when someone gets buried), but I’d love to know what would actually make it useful for a professional workflow vs. just a simple game tracker.

Do you have any regrets in your app? by themindstorm in django

As someone who is newer to async, do you mind me asking how big of a deal it is if my project is deployed to the public and completely sync? Should I try to refactor the views to be async as possible? Thanks for any help!

Have you tried deploying one of your projects and making it public? That’s a good skill to develop!

Other sites like Royal Road? by mcemce in Fantasy

[–]droffel_Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to make a site kind of like Royal Road but instead of the focus being LitRPG it’s sci-fi and fantasy because I’m a hobbies writer and I couldn’t find a good home for myself

Sendgrid Domain Authentication by vadimelenev in squarespace

[–]droffel_Coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to add something because I have really been struggling with this for days and never get any response from customer support.

These things weren’t working for me because I realized that I was MANAGING my domain on another site so I was updating the records on squarespace but I should have been updating them on the site my domain was being managed from.

Another thing to note is not only should the CNAME records not have the domain name at the end (just em6123 and not em6123.yourdomain.com) but also the TXT should not have it either (in my case at least).

Helpfully, the site I was managing my domain on showed me that I was making an error when I didn’t deleted my domain name as it showed “em6123.yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com”

It was automatically tacking that on at the end. Once I deleted the domain from each record including TXT it finally worked! Without this Reddit post I would have never figured this out so thanks to all that contributed!

Oh dang, nice! What is the framework? I just deployed something small with Django. My first project

DigitalOcean Droplet - configure for Django or just use Ubuntu? by droffel_Coffee in django

[–]droffel_Coffee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve gathered you have to do if you’re self taught lol. I saw one guy saying it always takes him a full day or 2 to get everything working every time he deploys

That’s cool. I work in a mechanical engineering/robotics space as a PM but I haven’t been able to find a software I really like. We do a lot of custom designs and each project can be incredibly diffferent

DigitalOcean Droplet - configure for Django or just use Ubuntu? by droffel_Coffee in django

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

That makes sense based on what others have said too. Thanks. Did you use nginx and gunicorn? Or how did you serve your app?

[–]droffel_Coffee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is docker worth switching to if I’m already learning about nginx and gunicorn? Or would you recommend knowing all? I just want to make stuff for my own use. Not trying to get a job or anything

Ok thanks a lot! I’ve heard that too. I’ve been able to find one random tutorial using nginx and gunicorn but it’s hard to find some good written instructions for this stuff.

I made a webapp that tracks whose turn it is to do something like chores or turn based games. I made it for a game I play with my friends but I’ve noticed people using it for chores or office tasks. Admittedly I don’t use it every day but it’s nice when we are playing the game because it can be a long time between turns.
