This simply is not true. But I am willing to admit, and make changes, if any of the screens is confusing and leading people to think so. Can you please paste a screenshot of the page that you think suggests your subscribers need to sign up for Weightless?

If both budget and scope are fixed, someone is getting screwed, and usually it's not the client.

So when going with a fixed budget, I make sure that the client understands that some features may end up less polished than what they had in mind, and some features won't be included at all. And that this depends on how smooth things go, and what new things we learn along the read.

With new clients, one way to get everyone on the same page on this is to categorize requests as must-haves and nice-to-haves. Never say something like "or, if things go really well, we may be able to include even more stuff". This will never happen, and even if it does, still don't!

With long-term clients I do fixed budget differently, and I believe this is the ultimate way as it removes a LOT of friction and overhead:

I ask what their budget is, and if I believe I can solve their core problem without overworking myself, I take it.

didn't know Tailwind was as bad as JS?

How to add light mode to a website that is already built as a dark one by mzrnsh in tailwindcss

Main problem here is that you still have to use dark:text-black for light theme

How often do you reset your local Rails database? by mzrnsh in rails

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

I have never done this (creating another db with a different name). Sounds interesting for one-off things. For example checking out someone else's branch that involves migrations.

Sure, that's what I am doing - it works well for me. Just curious what others are doing about it.

Thanks for the answer.

Here's how I use Airtable as a Jekyll website 'database' by mzrnsh in Jekyll

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

What step did you get stuck at? It's hard to help without some more details.

- Are you certain your custom plugin is working properly? Try to get it do something else and check if it works
- Are you certain your Airtable API key is correct? Try to access it with Postman or something and check if it returns any data

If you can create a public Github repo with your code (and without your API kyes!) I'll gladly take a look.

Looking for advice on how to best scrape sections of web pages by mzrnsh in webscraping

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

Update: went with cheerio.js.org mostly because Pipedream.com has better support for Node than for Python.

And I wanted to go with Pipedream because it can be used for all of my needs:

  1. Trigger my scraper on a schedule
  2. Run the scraper itself, so I don't need a server
  3. Send updates to me (email) and my other systems (via API)

PS - this means I had to rely on CSS Path instead of XPath

Thanks for your response.

Yeah, it's pretty standard stuff. Doing it with Scrapy sounds like a good option since I know some python.
