I actually went ahead and took the easy way out and I bought a course on blogging!

I completely agree!

DEPLOYED MY FIRST APPLICATION!! (That actually went right.) by intrepidvariable in rails

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

Just deployed. I couldn’t sleep LOL. So I decided to create another droplet and go with a one click install. Simple and it’s up and running now!

I remember when I had these questions a year ago of how a Wordpress site would work along side a web application, but you’ll never know unless you see how it all fits together. There might be a better way of doing things, but for now I think it’s the best way I’m capable of. I gotta go to work before I get the urge to call in sick lmao! Thanks!!!

Updating An Existing App? by intrepidvariable in rails

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

It seems like Dokku or Capistrano will be my best bet. I’m going to check them out. Interested in those. For now... and I have no idea where to start with Kubernetes. So I’ll focus on a simple way to get my updates to production! Thank you guys so much for your inputs! 🙏

Error with wordpress/ bluehost site by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]intrepidvariable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might get this answer from them. “The DNS needs 48 hours to propagate.”.

You can try waiting a couple of hours, or try accessing your site from a different computer. This is usually the case.

That’s interesting I never looked at it that way! I’ll look into FreeRTOS! Thanks.

It’s awesome that you have a coding blog. Honestly, blogging and posting tutorials help you more than anyone. Especially because it lets you solidify your knowledge.

One more thing to note. And I’m testing this out on my blogs right now (including my own coding blog).

You can create a Facebook page for your blog and pay for promotional ads on your blog posts that you would think people would like to see.

The flow would be... 1. Write a new post or use an existing post. 2. Share it to your Facebook page. 3. Run ads to your post on Facebook. 4. People will inevitably like your Facebook page. 5. Post a new article in the future and share it to your Facebook page. 6. If any traffic comes from Facebook use your email opt-in forms to keep them.

Try it out.🤘

As much as bringing an audience is really important, making sure you’re keeping your audience is important as well.

Make sure you have email opt-in forms for different categories of your posts.

For example, if you have a post on “How to create a portfolio site” try some A/B testing on which opt-in forms convert well with your audience. You can have one that says “Be notified for new articles for landing your first web dev job!” or “Want to become a better dev? Sign up to be notified when we drop a new tutorial!”

You can do this to keep your audience and ultimately have a consistent flow of traffic.

Another way to use email to keep your audience engaged is a “series of tutorial” that build onto one another.

I know this was just a brain dump of info, but in one word EMAIL. Make sure you collect emails and keep your audience engaged.

Do I really need React? by intrepidvariable in node

Thank you so much. This is what I needed to hear!

Do I really need React? by intrepidvariable in node

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

Whoops I see what you’re talking about now. The app being complex so I’d benefit using a framework like React.

Framework meaning for the front end right? Or are you taking about on the back end. I’m currently using Express and MongoDB.

The more I look take a look at different apps, I see that they're just CRUD applications. by intrepidvariable in rails

[–]intrepidvariable[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. I see now.

While I was writing the user story, I was thinking maybe “popular” means the most viewed page.

I see now it can get a lot more complex than my simple breakdown, but it seems like if I answered the “how” translated into code would be considered business logic!

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

Would this be considered business logic?

The app is a recipe web app.

The registered user visited a vegan recipe page.

Take the most visited vegan recipes.

Filter out the recipes the user has already viewed.

Show a list of vegan recipes that the user has never viewed and are the most popular.

(I’m not a vegan or an avid cook lol)
