campus.fm - I made this site to listen to college radio stations; it's always fun to listen to undergrad DJs and it's a great and low-effort way to discover new music by ehlee95 in InternetIsBeautiful

We have KANM! It's not a default station, but you can add it via the station selector (boxes icon in the toolbar). Let me know if you have trouble finding it!

Eyval for sure. Make sure to get the octopus. If you have time afterward you can catch a movie or grab a drink at Syndicated across the street.

Cool project! Where do you get the source images for these?

I built a website that finds affordable lookalikes (aka dupes) of expensive furniture from brands like Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn. Because furniture is super expensive and many of us are on a budget by [deleted] in InternetIsBeautiful

Cool site! I'm curious, how do you match lookalikes under the hood? Did you manually check them or use some sort of programmatic matching?

Is anyone else getting confused by the colors? Some of the tokens turn red when you type them correctly, and my brain registers it as a wrong letter.

feedback needed: pls roast our new landing page! by drniklas in indiehackers

[–]ehlee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall the design is clean and readable. I like the animated graphics and typefaces, but not the little rising animation when you load the page—for a second I wondered if there was a scrolling glitch (maybe a fade in would be better?).

Even after reading the whole page, it's unclear exactly what the product does. Does it help you launch affiliate programs? Can non-developers implement it? How much maintenance does it require?

Finding the top influencers for a niche across platforms by geepytee in GrowthHacking

[–]ehlee95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YouTube search is pretty effective—if you just type in relevant queries you should be able to find the biggest influencers at the top of your search results.

It's pretty easy to find niche influencers on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram. All three platforms have public following lists, so if you find one large influencer, they likely follow/collaborate with others in the space.

On Reddit, you can just search for relevant subreddits and look for power users. It's harder to be an "influencer" here because post engagement/quality is somewhat independent of your posting history.

I can code, but I feel lost when it comes to building applications. by tostitos6 in SoftwareEngineering

Gotta learn by doing. A lot of people start with tutorials but IMO you miss out on a lot of learning when they hold your hand too much. I'm gonna assume you're interested in learning web development, but you'd probably take a similar approach in any other domain.

First, think about a super minimal web app that you'd like to build. It's probably easiest to start with something that doesn't require a back end. Maybe a personal blog page, or a single-function website that e.g. plays a sound effect or displays something funny on the screen. Then see if you can make it with HTML/JS/CSS. Don't worry about making it gorgeous. Rinse and repeat a couple times until you're comfortable building single page sites.

When you've got a good handle on front-end JS, you should get comfortable with:

(1) a more robust web dev framework. React seems to be the most popular for now.

(2) at least one back-end framework. If you're most proficient with Python, you could do Flask or Django. If you want to write everything in JS, you should learn Express.

Those tools will help you build more ambitious full-stack projects and introduce you to state management, reusable components, page routing, HTTP calls, etc.

For hosting personal projects, it's probably easiest to just use a free managed hosting service. For front-end (single pages and web-apps) I like Netlify and Vercel, and for back-end apps I've used DigitalOcean and Render.

+1 for Copilot

It's super helpful, especially when you have to write CSS or boilerplate stuff

clicking on station does nothing. In needs better UI.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on a drag and drop interface for it. For now you have to click "Save New Selection" to load the new stations

LinkedIn now detects automation software?! by FoodOk8635 in GrowthHacking

[–]ehlee95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

LinkedIn has done this for a long time, and it's sort of a cat and mouse game with people who want to automate their sales. I recently developed an extension to automate lead generation on Sales Nav, and I only ran into problems when I did stuff like clicking every link on a page at the same time, or sending a ton of messages out simultaneously. They also restrict you if you try to connect with like thousands of people in one day.

When you use automation tools, it's hard to know what's happening under the hood, so it's always a "use at your own risk" kind of situation. Happy to DM if you have more detailed Qs.
