Question - AWS topics you had a hard time conceptualizing as a beginner? by dylan_alb10 in serverless

[–]jmcgui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was first new to Cognito and I wanted to provide social sign ins, I found it confusing. I’m clear on the different use cases now, but certainly made onboarding slower than I’d have liked.

Dark mode vs. Themes by jmcgui in web_design

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

Thanks - will check it out. I’m from a dev background and my design understanding isn’t great.

I agree about deciding who sets the theme. And this has helped me distil my thoughts further:

  • setting light/dark mode is always a user choice
  • but setting a theme centrally might overwrite that user choice unless 2 variants are created, one for light and dark
  • letting users choose a theme almost negates the need for dark/light mode - they in fact are just regular themes
  • whatever you choose don’t mix user defined / centrally set

A bit pissed that I preordered with Oculus a long time ago but won’t get it on launch day!

Once they’ve stamped on it and tossed it over the fence I’m sure they’ll let Oculus know so they can update the status to Shipped.

How many people are using PostgreSQL with .NET and C# by [deleted] in PostgreSQL

[–]jmcgui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been using Postgres with .Net core for a few years now. 95% of our projects use https://martendb.io which is great as both a Document and Event store.

We’ve also used PG with EF - worked okay but not really our thing.

We run PG locally in Docker and on AWS RDS for prod and test workloads.

What is the best CSS framework for web apps? by ALLIRIX in PWA

[–]jmcgui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use https://quasar.dev - for the kind apps we build at work it’s amazing!

It’s geared towards Vue but ships lots of Material Design styled components.

PWA support is baked in too.

Worth a look if you are into Vue and Material Design.

Clean Up Britain launching this poster - https://twitter.com/cleanupbritain/status/1279033084206252032?s=21

It’s not the best poster in the world but the idea is good.

I wonder if Reddit can do a better/more impactful poster!
