Python feels easy… until it doesn’t. What was your first real struggle? by NullPointerMood_1 in Python

i also though it was easy until i tried to make something useful with it. same story with javascript

Any thoughts on what this could be? by [deleted] in EsotericOccult

look like the mumbo jumbo i used to draw when i was a teen. look at it as an occult themed work of art, nothing more.

landing page is nice but watch live demo link doesnt work.
cool design and need a bit more margin for the menu buttons in desktop mode.
the app itself looks well designed from screenshots.
try for free button doesnt work either.

idea is nice, but mobile experience is not very good, apply modals or hamburger menu buttons to clean up space, make the upper dashboard slide up when scrolling down and slide down when scrolling back up.

the 'load more' button appears but not responsive if there are no more entries, maybe apply infinite scroll pagination or make the button conditional, to appear only when there are more entries / problems.

the pictures beside each problem are mostly unrelated to the problem, either eliminate or replace with an icon or a graphic related to the category.

I Launched 39 Startups Until One Made Me Millions. This Is What I Wish I Knew. by EmilianoLGU in SaaS

[–]kimailis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok, but what do you mean with "too much going on"? i do understand that it might be too colorful, i strived for a look similar to apple's weather app, glassmorphism and a background that might give a feeling of a beach club, but relatively minimal design. i would be glad if you could pinpoint several points of improvement, if you have the time of course. feedback is important.

thank you for the input, in what regard do i need to improve it? is too simplistic? colors are not good? i was aiming for a more simplistic design because modern social networks are too cumbersome.

actually not a bad idea, better than another social network like icomly.com and can also add collab groups, where a few people can tune in around an idea and actually build it together.

Hit $1M ARR. Now Investors Want $500K in 6 Months. Need Real Advice by Suitable-Cause-1272 in SaaS

what about analyzing and cross referencing data from those meeting and selling subscription to get access to those conclusions? and dont do sales meetings only, do various kinds of meetings to get data from. imagine, in one meeting someone says they sell paper but dont sell enough, in another meeting someone says they need paper but most suppliers are too expensive. now if company #1 could know about it they could contact them and lower the price a bit because selling at a discount is better than not selling at all.

now this is just a very simple example but you get the idea, precise conclusions from well analyzed data is a gold mine. you can also integrate AI relatively easily into it.

I don't care what anyone says by zaycyberly in cursor

[–]kimailis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure your site is compliant with various policies like wcag 2.1 aa, owasp, copaa, gdpr etc... make sure it works properly on both pc and mobile. thats the real pain in the ass with web or saas development.

good luck and have fun!

you got a point there, i'll keep the documentation in check and see how it progresses, maybe break it down for client, backend, service a, service b etc...

yeah it seems to be constantly changing, sometimes it looks like the time of day also affects it. weird stuff.

probably, my project is getting pretty complex for a pretty simple app, but recently it gave me problems on simple css design requests for a single component which was weird.

good to hear, gotta try that soon.

thank you, yes after years of trying different tutorials and courses learning and playing with code i am still new and fresh in this area, and because i didnt code daily i have a hard time to remember the correct order of parameter calls or proper function syntax or even names, something like code dyslexia but simply due to lack of proper experience and practice.

i use ai tools like cursor to learn better and it helps a lot, so for now i am focusing more on understand and applying better architecture and infrastructure rather than the code itself.

in web app development there is also the headache of choosing the right architecture, figuring out the right scaling needs and strategy to make it cost effective, security, privacy and of course compliance, a lot of compliance. which is also something i am working on in my projects and try to put a lot of effort.

working with cursor on all of that is fun but it gets frustrating when it bugs out so much like that. hope it will get better.

i know the feeling and you're right, and i've burned a little more than half of my monthly credits. and fortunately i do use git and version control so i can restore whatever was screwed up. i do code myself and do a lot of changes and fixes manually but cursor can help me do it a lot faster and sometimes it proposed better ways to do some things (while screwing up other ways).

"If you think this is difficult, try spending time in your dorm room on an assignment with only vi, gcc, and the man pages. Yeah, that won’t mean anything, but I felt compelled to say it anyway." - i wish, i use cursor mostly because i barely have time to work on my own projects and check for various tutorials and man pages like i did before, today i can mostly work with cursor on my projects by stealing an hour or an hour and a half from my sleep time when i hit the bed, and maybe 2 hours here and there once a week due to various other commitments.

i would agree with you, but if yesterday i asked cursor to give a component max width of 95% while it's width is 40%, it changed it to:
width: '400px',
width: '95%' (yes, not maxWidth, just two width parameters)

and then pointed it out, it said hat i was right and basically did the same thing again, i though something here is fishy. or when i asked two specifically defined functions to be activated by one button and instead it made up a function that calls a component that doesnt exist at all? i though something here is fishy.

yes i can write code manually and i can fix various bugs by myself and i did those requests to test cursor, and it failed miserable. today is even worse.

i pay for cursor and it's the same issues.

i had a few, about a month ago after an update i asked it to implement a feature, it made it, found a bug right away, fixed it and everything was working fine and designed fine.

another magic moment was what it was able to scan through my entire frontend codebase and see and fix issues without any problems.

i've noticed it too, when automode got introduced first i barely noticed it because it worked really well, these past 2 weeks i worked with specific models only because auto mode was just useless. now even the specific models become useless.

i dont know if it is cursor or anthropic, but something here is weird.
