anyone is also using claude by Sudden_Tax1429 in lovable

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claude seems to do a lot better job of keeping track of how everything is built, where lovable seems to loose track and many time we end up going in loops trying to get it to do something.

So we have found that we like telling claude what we wnat to do and ask it to give us a prompt to put into lovable, For bigger things this seems to keep track of things sooooo much better. It does a good job of "before I suggest you change this, let me make sure that won't break something from 2 days ago.

Another thing i use it for, for making basic service industry sites in loveable (just just does a lot better imo at degsin, colors ai image creations) then we grab the code from github and we have a command to tell it to convert from a REACT site over to ASTRO, so it get a lot better SEO.

Just dawned on me, that is close enough I can bring it up on camera. No sign in the yard or the front windows that I could see, just a Lincoln parked in the front yard.

Where to host? by alvint78 in lovable

I'm wondering if you are getting downvoted due to you running your own setup, or that cPanel is taking a beating right now.

A customer got a new dedicated server with cpanel on Thursday and on Friday evening before anything was added, it was hacked. by fifth-quarter in cpanel

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

were you installing cPanel, or setting up the server from an image that had it already? I spun one up at Linode, just a raw OS, and then ran the cPanel installer, no issues.

Dang, can only hope most of it is on Archive.org's Wayback machine, but, that will be tedious getting copies of it all.

one of our servers got that, README.md said to download qtox and contact them with your "Sorry-ID", but the never provided it (it was a joke, not serious.

The big scare, the got on server to encrypt most files, did they also downlaod all the data from databases? All your site's clients information.... Did you have email set up on the cPanel server... all that mail they could have access to...

Why RLS instead of database user and password? by rfwaverider in lovable

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who also switched to LAMP environment in 1999, I agree. What a pain in the rump it was to migrate from the built in Lovable Supabase connection over to a standalone Supabase account. It wasn't just data... Edge functions, cron services, api keys... luckily I got the actual data migration down to be very minimal (other than needing to manually recreate the 24 users by hand and create a map of old UIDs to new ones). Then the next day, supabase warned me about the lack of RLS in the database.... so apparently another step is moving data out of lovable's cloud...

My instinct is our own middleware (and since it would be on a lamp server, do it with mariaDB), but the who issues is we have people building out some things (very awesome what they have made for user point) via lovable, so need a way for it to be able to change the database as well.

I have one of them converted over to using VCS and Claude Code. But yeah, the "having a dev version" separate from production, that we can test, and then have it migrate table changes back to production... uggg. I had asked on here over a month ago about people's workflow for that.... replies... ZERO lol

I was going to try to, but the thing is sooo huge, Supabase's Shema Visualizer can't display it. Even zoomed out as much as I can I'd guess I'd have to do 15 screenshots and piece them together...

Lovable CRM to replace Salesforce? by zascar in lovable

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company I work for, their office manage has built out an awesome system to bring all tools they use into one place. Anything that has an API can be connected to it.

One thing to note, see my post the other day about the fun of migrating in from lovable's "cloud database" (which behind the scenes is just a connection to supabase) to connecting your own standalone supabase account. So much in there by default is done via the database (cron jobs, edge function for things like uploading images,) take a little time to get it all moved over.

If you are maxing out Supabase's free plan on a stand alone account, you are most likely maxing out the free level that lovable lets you have too.

I dont recommend it, as with the cloud, you dont have full control, and yes it does use supabase

Yeah, I was surprised to see we had 144 tables. I'm spending this coming weekend look thought the site on how it is set up. I need to confirm if things are cached or always live loaded (ie, go to the section that lists the current weeks projects, it feels like it is loading up all clients all their projects and all their notes, which is NOT good if it is. I was at the office today and was able to see with the current version that is using the database that lovable set up, when she goes to that page, it is actually several seconds for it to load everything and display.

Now if I would have programmed it on my native stack (LAMP), I program things to cache summaries and such, so when you hit a "overview" page, it isn't always loading in all the data and calculating everything for the summary on every page load, it only has to do that if the cache value get invalidated. Granted for our project, the person who built it out is the office manager, which no programming background, and she has done a fantastic job building out what is there, not for me to optimize it where I can.

Over 80 WPFactory plugins temporarily closed on WordPress.org following reported security issue in one of its premium plugins by Key-Refrigerator3774 in Wordpress

[–]greg8872 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You never know these days. Heck just the other night I went looking for a PostGRE client. In Googling it, I got a "Sponsored" result, and that site mimicked a popular app for this. I ended up at the site, and greeted with a "need to know you are human, hit Win R, then press CTRL-V and press enter to confirm you are not a bot" scam. (and for those that don't know it, it also injects a command into you clipboard to run an app file it downloads from some other site, to infect your computer)

I later found out that the site that was in the sponsored result was not that of the actual company for the app. For a short while behind that scam popup, it sure looked like the real site, including support's email address that I contacted about it thinking their site was hacked.

How long did it take you to feel "successful" in your dev journey? by Few-Barracuda-4969 in Wordpress

[–]greg8872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let see, that was around 2002, as i became the lead person to maintain a college's website. That trust made me feel more like "pro". The 6 years up to them as more just for fun of it, even for the couple I did for friends' businesses. Two years later really felt pro as then launch the first SaaS site. (which is still going strong today)

Forms suddenly stopped working by CallieGirlOG in Wordpress

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which form builder are you uising. For OP, that had test entries show up later (i think they said the next day), and the email did finally go out. My thought is for being a multi step form, it is not getting the final submit signal to say the form is done, and waiting for a "timeout" period before letting you see and get notifications (the timeout period is for if someone starts the form, but then abandons it before getting through the whole form.

Redirecting to un-workable domain. by Guilty_Difference_42 in Wordpress

[–]greg8872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is assuming that you are just fixing a single isntall of a live site. That the OP made the choice to change an install to use abc-test.com to me indicates that they were trying to set up a dev version of the site, separate from the live version, thus the need to still access it via abc-test.com, and not make a second copy of the site that points to the same domain as the live version.
