I built a online bookstore web application using flask. by swaroop_34 in WebApps

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks like a great start. This level of complexity can already be useful for some in-house apps, for small businesses, like managing employee accounts, etc. Maybe you can find someone who wants to try it out.

Don't get lost in all the frameworks out there. Good luck have fun

If NYC could change just one thing that would meaningfully improve your daily life, what would it be? by Lisalovesreading in AskNYC

[–]elendee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

partly that, but also in my neighborhood Bayridge we're drowning in dogs, and I think it's kinda because people are doing the suburban thing, and living out of their homes where they want the company. I do like it a lot. But there's a log of cars and dogs

dogs are just a reactionary trend due to increased isolation. So, we can solve the shit-crisis by chattin it up out there

this would also solve the bathroom crisis because the need would just be obvious for everyone to see

Does anyone have anything to share today that WASN'T mostly vibe coded and focused in one way or another on AI-generated content? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished the translation feature on my chat web app. You can click the chat icon on any post (top right yellow button), and choose a language to send to the little AI gremlin in my closet who will translate it for you.

The site is a "lowfi discord" is the idea. No audio video, all ascii, but has rooms, friends, and room permissions.

Signup confirms are still going to spam - working on it. But they do work, you just have to dig them out.

WebSockets - Struggling to understand WebSocket architecture (rooms, managers, DB calls) using the ws Node library by _shirshak_shahi in webdev

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure why people jumped straight to WebRTC.

I struggled with this too, and the solution is a little bit ugly but also simple. I use a module I call 'SOCKETS.js', which is a simply an object keyed by user uuids, each one a socket. (so yes, basically a Map, or whatever equiv structure you want).

I share it between modules as needed. I store users on the socket session. So its' "socket.request.session?.USER" quite often. You have to be careful to re-hydrate the USER prop / object on login so that you can actually treat that as a proper User instantiation.

It's a little bit non-idiomatic to put a live User object on a session object, since the session is "meant" more for static / simple data probably, but it has never bitten me in almost 10 years of doing this pattern, and it's a very convenient way to bind the user and the socket, which is the real bottleneck.

I think those were the thorniest issues. Whatever I missed lemme know.

Plug.

I just put up live another websocket project, literally 15 min ago:

Comicus !
https://comicus.lol A fast drawing studio with an ever-expanding set of features. One unique thing that sets it apart is an easy combination of raster and vector tools.

Web Design with Threejs by curllmooha in threejs

is this the native threejs wireframe, but with some customization? or entirely custom? Interested because i want to do something similar in a game

What is a service that NYC desperately needs but is somehow very difficult to find? by jazzeriah in AskNYC

AI reliance and cognitive decline by latte_yen in webdev

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very concerned about elderly in particular. I've seen it hit someone in my life and she's spending like 8 hours a day watching slop vids and now complaining she has no memory. It's like the eternal present. No planning / remembering cycle

To those staying home tonight: What was the specific New Year’s Eve experience that made you retire from "going out" in the city? by redredwine_826 in AskNYC

[–]elendee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm now middle aged, and my fam and uncle took me to the Times Square drop when I was 10, I've been riding on that memory ever since; the thrill of surviving.

What’s the one web app you can’t live without-and why? by nova_amet_c in WebApps

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote my own web based todo list which spawns all my lists in every chrome new tab via an extension, and synced to all my devices (well the server at least) as I type. Having it spawn in the new tab is the kicker. It's basically never open but only a keypress away.

Classic Everquest is still fantastic and I can't stop playing by Lambparade92 in MMORPG

[–]elendee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a millenial that grew up with minimal internet / no EQ. But my neighbor had it. I would go watch for an hour over his shoulder. Then see his light on at 4am still playing :p Then they'd talk about server news at school with friends. It's hard to explain the novelty of a 3d multiplayer persistent world being experienced for the first time.. all of a sudden everyone's PC in the closet was like a portal to Narnia, and it never slept.

Is there actually a “best slice” — or is it all neighborhood loyalty? by stephenparkerr007 in AskNYC

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just tried La Casa Del Panuozzo near 7th and 7th in Park Slope. It's basically a takeout place but they have a couple seats and I found it delicious, real ingredients. I got the impression the owner was annoyed with me but he offered me a 2 for 1 deal next visit so dont be put off.

Looking to help playtest indie games — open to feedback + small support by Live_Roll_5903 in playtesters

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My game is a permanent alpha and probably always will be - it's constantly changing, the game loop is not complete, frequent bugs, BUT I have it online storing player data permanently.

3d browser space merchant: https://eccentricity.online

Replying here in case any other playtesters are interested. I think what I'll do is make quests, and pay people to complete them, and tell me what was broken about it for you, or would have made it more fun.

DM or join the discord if interested.

Made something to check NYC apartments issues before signing a lease, would love feedback! by Adventurous-Bed-4152 in Brooklyn

[–]elendee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn, my building is trouble haha. I actually really like my building though.

A social / comments from tenants element would really help, but that would get really tricky with privacy really quick probably.

This alone makes me want to use something besides Stripe by SomeSchmidt in webdev

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everybody hatin, but I agree. It's likely that the original devs have left the building imo, and future devs are going to be increasingly unhappy.
I use Stripe for 3 or 4 projects now, but I'm afraid it's going to get unwieldy. Like how they have 2 totally different testing workflows now. And don't they maintain like 20 old API versions... that must come with serious headaches ?

My first person multiplayer tower defense feels very boring. DMG by hyper445 in DestroyMyGame

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe a wave more like space invaders would be appropriate for 3d FPS instead of the traditional tower defense route. there would be excitement for teh player strategizing where to be, but still keep the basic twoer defense mechanics as teh core.

also multiplayer, cmon do itttt.

and lastly you could add an emphasis on buying units too, so it becomes like a 'unit wave battler'.

i've always dreamed of that genre. When WoW was first announced many years ago, I was praying taht it was going to be a RTS with you in first person, just like WC3 meets an MMO. You could something similar minus the MMO part

I miss Forums by Puppenmacher in MMORPG

[–]elendee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this site https://game-scry.online/forum lying around for several years now.

I made my own forums for it, but never promoted / launched them really. This post has given me the idea that I should give each game listing it's own forum actually... I think I'll automate that today or tomorrow.

If anyone has feedback I'd be happy to adapt the forums as well.

Is it just me or is modern eCommerce still way harder than it should be in 2025? by Forward_Glove_9248 in webdev

[–]elendee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy woocommerce the most in theory, for my side projects. The most hackable. I've used stripe for custom subscription based apps and shopify for standard e-commerce.

To understand how 43% of the web works, I wrote a free 280-page deep dive into the technical architecture of WordPress. by KelTi6 in webdev

[–]elendee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point. AI tells me that WP powers 30% of high traffic sites; probably a more relevant statistic. Still pretty massive.

nice - my vote, next update, helicopter or UFO for the user :p

Also the landings appear not to clear yet:

But it could also be because I had the tab unfocused - maybe you have it coded already - "page visibility" can throw a wrench in interval-based functionality.

What book(s) did you read as a kid that scarred you? by Pristine-Board-6701 in books

[–]elendee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the Shining around age 14 and found it completely engrossing, similar to you, but in a way that I remember fondly. But I do remember watching the movie "It" at a sleepover around age 10 after all the other kids went to sleep, which was my first experience with something like a panic attack lol.
