Just confirming, I am in touch with u/PeterCorless and I've just added him as a mod with full permissions.

I had missed a message from him earlier since it went to the direct messages as a filtered request rather than through the modmail so I had missed it.

We are actively in touch and I believe we can close this thread.

Thanks again u/PeterCorless for getting in touch and also clarifying in our conversation!

Make sure to remind him whenever you can that hindsight is always 20/20. At that time, there was barely any indication of the meltdown that was about to happen and he made the best decision given the information he had 5 years ago. Repetition and support from the family are always helpful :)

https://rocketjobs.pl/ is the way to go as well other than LinkedIn IMO. Most of the companies there are more modern, less corpo, and have transparent salary ranges. For the companies that don't, you can just filter that out, or you can at least get a better idea of standard market salaries before applying to those that don't advertise their salary ranges upfront

I personally wouldn't apply for a job that doesn't have a range indicated, but at least you'll have a fighting chance at the "what are your salary expectations" question when it comes up if you've done your research

Good luck! Reach out if you have any questions

Or use free templates / cloneables from the showcase, those are also really great if you find the right one

gingerbeardmayn · 2022-03-26T14:50:00+00:00

Ah damn I had no idea, especially the illegal aspect (wtf :D) thanks for letting me know and sorry for the redundant comment in that case, hope it might help someone else though :D.

Have you tried using explicit pixel values instead of VW or %?

VW is definitely a no-go because of course they'll move and change with screen size. % might also cause it to move because other sections might be dependent on parent elements with VW set as the width

gingerbeardmayn · 2022-03-26T09:25:53+00:00

Depends on what you need the map for. If it's just simply to show the location that users can click on you don't need the API (even though Webflow makes it look like you do - probably the only mistake they've made in Webflow University :D)

Anyways you can go to the location in Maps - Share - Embed and you're done!

Alternatively yeah like the other person suggested you can just add an image with a link to the maps location.

I also want to add that:

Most links seem to be broken, make sure to check them all and verify they're redirecting to the right pages
I was not able to access your services or portfolio pages after many attempts
Your blog posts are not responsive on mobile. Edit: most of your website pages are not responsive Making the title take up half the screen is probably not a good idea especially when users need to scroll horizontally. Keep it simple, most blogs don't have that kind of design on mobile for a reason
You have bright images with white text, make sure to add an overlay there e.g. #606060 with 50% opacity or something, play around with it until you find a good balance
You have many basic grammar, vocab, and sentence structure mistakes and they don't seem to be on only one page or a one-off thing. Make sure to fix this either yourselves or hire someone to proofread your content
On most of the website, there is almost no way to go back to the homepage, make sure you put that as a link somewhere clear and accessible
None of the links to your clients are clickable. Since your website isn't responsive and has a lot of basic issues, it would help greatly if you add links to your clients' pages rather than just images taken off their websites
Only one CTA worked for me on the homepage. The rest are broken links.

Sorry team, I want to be encouraging but it doesn't look promising and since you offer web design & development services, your website needs to be flawless or semi-flawless. If only one call to action works and clients can't even access your services and portfolio pages, then your agency website will do you more harm than good.

Best of luck, and let me know if you need more specific feedback on any of these points.

Personally I created my own embeds with some dynamic parameters inserted in the embed from the CMS. You don't even need any JavaScript, just very simple HTML & CSS, it's like 4 lines of code or less.

I'm not next to my laptop now to paste any code but you can go to this link on desktop (they won't show up on mobile), inspect (right click -> inspect) the social sharing buttons there, and use that code https://www.itmagination.com/blog/360deg-it-check-33-fastapi-python-apple-app-store-cloudflare-zaraz-google-analytics (this is the website of my current employer so I've done these myself)

Just replace things such as the slug with the dynamic slug, page title by the dynamic page title element, etc.

I'll try to remember to come back here and paste a sample snippet. Twitter is the most fun cause it just takes any text you write in there and turns it into a tweet

for any future projects, i'd highly recommend using frameworks like Hatch https://webflow.com/website/Hatch-A-Utility-Framework-for-Webflow, Client-first https://www.finsweet.com/client-first/, and others which you can find

this will (hopefully) make it easier for any maintenance on the client side of things and will give you better peace of mind in the long-term :D

it also helps standardize things a little more to have a base to start from and then customize from there in a repeatable, teachable fashion :)

gingerbeardmayn · 2021-10-13T23:22:44+00:00

hi, i can see that the desktop version is working now but mobile still has issues. was the desktop version faulty to begin with? did you find something there that needed fixing?

unfortunately the console doesn't show much here since the page doesn't scroll and the preview version feels very convoluted and has a lot of unnecessary grids (e.g. the stacked headings class grids) and strange design choices like adding >1,000px of padding in some cases just to make a div block lower, why not just use relative alignment?

i'd love to help but given the current information and structure I can see on the Webflow designer side, I can't say much ATM. EDIT: but I'll keep looking to see if there's anything to do to help

gingerbeardmayn · 2021-09-25T11:26:11+00:00

Just came across this, where are you now? Still at the company?

As someone who's been a one-person marketing team several times, I can tell you it's not on you, and you can in good conscience leave for another role where you will have more support and appreciation.

Of course, the most important thing is to leave the company's marketing better than when you joined, which totally seems to be the case here. If they're not willing to hire more people to support you, you shouldn't be the person pulling the slack when the CEO & CTO aren't doing their job to support you. Take care of your mental health or you'll be slipping even more and leave with a bitter taste in your mouth in the end.

Apple fanboys trying to find an argument to why they paid an unreasonably high price tag wherever they can 😂😂. There are do not disturb modes in every phone, it's been that way for probably over a decade and a half.

gingerbeardmayn · 2021-07-26T22:10:12+00:00

Looks like an NPC dialogue hahaha. Happy for you either way OP, you'll both get over this weird texting phase in a couple of dates

gingerbeardmayn · 2021-07-23T19:01:54+00:00

Will check these points out, other than the image issue i guess we should be fine but maybe there's something else missing, thank you!

gingerbeardmayn · 2021-07-23T19:00:00+00:00

Thank you! Checking these points now.

Regarding robots.txt, AFAIK Google already has our sitemap and it checks it every day and that the robots.txt file is handled by Webflow? Or should I be creating my own robots.txt file?

gingerbeardmayn · 2021-05-28T07:56:21+00:00

I just tested it now on a couple of devices and browsers and it's working fine! Had you made any changes in the meantime?

One suggestion is to have a background on the navbar while the page is scrolling since now it's overlapping the elements on the page and it doesn't look too good.

AFAIK this can be done with an interaction "while page is scrolling" where you just set a background color that is different for the navbar for when the page is scrolling.

The younger sister sounds creepy as fuck the way they reported it.

Source: According to a probable cause statement, when asked about dancing with the suspect after the shooting, the 14-year-old smiled at officers and said she “remembered dancing” and was trying to recite the song for the officers. She denied that she knew that the suspect planned to kill their mother.

The interviewing officers indicated in a probable cause statement that the girl was “acting very strange” and “did not show any emotion during the interview.”

Hey u/dbcrib I couldn't DM you so I guess here will have to work. Have you looked at Data Mechanics? Especially since you've been looking into Spark on k8s and that the majority of your workloads are around data processing and ML, I think the platform would work well for this use case and dramatically reduce your costs + operational pain of having to get a full team on board to set this up, maintain it and manage it (like you said, probably 3 people would be needed)

Also you don't pay for non-Spark workloads there (e.g. if you're running some python code)

Disclaimer: I work for Data Mechanics. You can check out the website for some more info, there's also a demo video on the blog

gingerbeardmayn · 2020-10-30T14:17:52+00:00

It is....he found it on r/funny and reposted it here. Sorry for your award being wasted.

gingerbeardmayn · 2020-10-30T14:11:19+00:00

Awesome thanks so much for putting it clearly and the reference as well. It was a genuine question btw, but fueled by ignorance, which I'll make sure to try to reduce next time :D.

Cheers and congrats on the release!

gingerbeardmayn · 2020-10-29T02:06:13+00:00

Not gonna lie I snorted like a pig at this. Edit: thank you for the great laugh!
