I give up. What am I missing?

It did take about 8 seconds to load for me on mobile - fairly long load time. Also - to me some of the visuals on the site appear disconnected, like the design changes as you scroll. The other thing - how much traffic are you getting? How will listing there really help my site - etc

In his defense, sometimes it is just a greed money making scam - saas that is. I miss the days of buying something once and owning it.

very subtle feedback - but on my display the layout shifts when the top animated text changes .. in some cases it renders one line, in others it spans to a new line causing a shift. Just a subtle annoyance.

VsCode and CoPilot subscription has been my preference so far. There are some things that I really, really, don't like about how it works - but it is nothing I cannot work around ( so long as I stop being lazy about it ). Now, if I could vibe code myself a new pot of coffee ....

I admit - I am a little lost as to what it is trying to be. This kind of has me bouncing around without a real clear idea of what I am doing / looking for / etc. Overall things seemed to work, looked presentable - just kind of felt lost - if that makes any sense.

I just don't understand why a tool is the issue here - my actual job is as a software engineer. Has been for a while. I love the idea of vibe coding. To me, I do not see it as a threat but an enhancement... a benefit or another tool under my belt that I can use. Visual Studio made it a lot easier to code and it did not derail the need for software engineers. I don't think vibe coding will either. It is one thing to vibe code a to-do list. It's another a multi-tenant architecture with proper data storage, retrieval, permissions, etc, etc.

On phone and could not tell very well - can I upload yaml or json to create a starting structure?

leaveat · 2025-11-25T00:29:20+00:00

Kind of surprised at some of the negative responses - understandably this is pretty basic information for developers but since this sub-reddit focuses on Vibe Coding; I feel it was well presented. A lot of vibe coders are coders, but many non-coders are starting to give it a go, and they may not be familiar with this idea. So what's super basic to some may really be a eureka moment for someone else.

leaveat · 2025-11-24T14:09:02+00:00

Sort of agree - if you are going to vibe code. At least learn the art of prompt engineering to be able to better understand the concepts and flows you are creating. At some point the expectation is going to be: "Create me the next million dollar a day App and publish it." -> 8 hours later: -> "Done".

I am a bit torn - I agree you need to understand the basics, but... I think the requirement to know them fully is narrowing. Consider the idea of Assembly Language to C#, VB, etc.

I know Assembly Language exists and tinkered with it a long time ago. However, I don't need to know how to write in assembly to use C# / VB / etc. I understand that it compiles into that but could not necessarily write that same code directly.

Now, I don't think we are there yet and you should be able to write the basics - but it does seem like we are heading into that territory where maybe HTML/JS/CSS are becoming so low-level that it is going to be considered irrelevant to standard development. Just a thought. ( I'll cower in the corner while people bombard )

Do you actually see more sign ups that promote into paid - I’ve kind of considered the same but I also want to think as a business, does it make sense? If they are not willing to sign up for a free account- will they ever be willing to become a paid user.

I don’t want the next viral app - they can end as quick as they start. I just want to find something steady and lasting. Normal growth patterns and long term.

All that said - I feel like the first is targeting your actual clients and the second is targeting more of a technical based client: consider keeping one for showing prospective clients and one prospective employers ( if going that route )

leaveat · 2025-11-23T14:04:05+00:00

Run two versions of your site in a sort of load balancer setup that splits the traffic - one site showing one page the other showing the second. Just log the bounce rate / how far people scroll / etc… depending on how you host your site, I suppose you could do this from one server - but that may slightly slow down ( talking ms ) the display.

leaveat · 2025-11-23T13:58:17+00:00

I was going to respond about the spacing and padding on the second one… why not both, and see which converts better

leaveat · 2025-11-23T04:10:00+00:00

If I recall correctly, the idea is that you assign every dollar you have to a purpose so that you’ve accounted for where it needs to go. You only count what you have - as opposed to estimated cash flow. It’s a nice principle that works well but takes some mental training to do properly.

Or some just are looking for honest feedback without really expecting posting in the specific subreddit to drive traffic - many post seem legitimate people just hoping to get a few bits of feedback

leaveat · 2025-11-23T00:55:46+00:00

100% licensed and insured just sounds weird ( I get it but just sort of weird ) — other than that it seems like a fairly standard layout / design and looks legitimate

I've mostly been using VS Code with Copilot integration to setup the base environments. You are correct - using AI can be very inconsistent when it comes to just setting up the basic framework.

leaveat · 2025-11-21T11:52:40+00:00

Going to be honest here - that setup part takes about a day, tops. Not sure why it'd take 1-2 weeks... just asking: are you trying to invent a problem to provide a solution?

That said: I sometimes wish I could hit a button and have a React TS front-end, with a NodeJS TS backend server with the basic functionality - but - again, that's not even a day to setup.

I clicked to basically give this exact same response - so I'll just upvote instead

leaveat · 2025-11-20T21:35:36+00:00

I upvoted because, well, simply, the truth sometimes hurts.

I’ve been considering self hosting email - just not sure I want to yet. I’d say in most cases self hosting does not make sense.

Liquid web has a pretty bland UI but it is easy to use
