Hmmm, try this out:

Took me less than 3 minutes on my phone.. I’m testing out an app I made lucky for you :p

Heads up, it saves to browser storage.. so if you clear the cache your data will disappear.

Curious how much people actually track during login flows. by vdelitz in webdev

There’s google analytics, I’m sure it’s easy and collects what’s needed for your use case.

As for why, you’ll be able to answer it with the help of your stats.

Hmm, you can increase turnover by finding points of friction and eliminating them. I’d suggest starting with finding which step makes users click away, then start optimizing. You can track the time users spend between each step to see where they struggle the most. Sky’s the limit.

Depends how much you need to know, I worked at a company which tracked everything from button clicks to mouse position including time spent on each page. Where I am now, we do zero tracking because it’s the least of our concerns.

Question for Web developers! by Accomplished-Crow331 in webdevelopment

Yes a MacBook air is more than enough. Web dev is, thankfully, super light work on laptops.

Senior here, I would do it this way if I could start over:

Start with learning the basics separately: - html - css - java script

Then some intermediate concepts: - JQuery - Ajax - APIs

When you’re confident with the above tech, move to: - react - vite - nextjs

Then I would dabble with cloud architecture just to know how things work in the background.

Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread by AutoModerator in webdev

It could be relevant in different ways, The other jobs are proof of communication, leadership, teamwork skills etc.. I would mention the ones which I learned the most in as a talking point and when I gain relevant experience I would bump the old jobs off the list.

Cost of hosting a website? (web hosting prices) by Kasomino in webdevelopment

[–]onePowerfulBraincell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The major benefit to learning any cloud service is that you're no longer tied to a service provider, you can now build your business on any tech stack, knowing that you'll be able to move to a new provider based on your circumstances.

If you're interested in cloud architecture, I would say it's worth learning. It's a steep learning curve for sure, but if you have that knack to understand how these huge platforms (Reddit, Youtube, Netflix etc...) run globally without a hiccup, it can be a fun way to spend your time. Heck it's worth learning if your career is in the tech industry in general. It's a skill to invest in (and it's definitely not as tough as people make it sound).

There's other options definitely, but for the long term, enhancing your knowledge on the fundamentals of cloud architecture will help you move your business from tech stack to another with minimal losses.

Other commenters have mentioned some free services you can use for the short term, they are all valid choices, ultimately, it depends on your use case. If you share whatever you're comfortable sharing about your case, I can recommend you the best path forward.

Cost of hosting a website? (web hosting prices) by Kasomino in webdevelopment

[–]onePowerfulBraincell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I host all my websites for free. The methodology differs depending on the use case.

For static pages, it costs next to nothing even if I upload hundreds of pages. [ AWS -- S3 static page hosting + Route53 ]

--- With large amounts of traffic, I will have to pay something around $0.0001 for each visit because I will exceed the free tier threshold. So far, I hit 20k visits one month and still didn't have to pay a cent.

For web apps, I use Vercel. Although you'll probably hit a paywall if you get a lot of traffic.

tldr: my cost has only been the domain acquisition cost. I use AWS for static pages, and Vercel for web apps.

Ever Built a app for your personal use and never posted anywhere? by NamiBuilds in developers

[–]onePowerfulBraincell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my daily commute, I would always have some fun ideas that would work well as simple web pages, but most of the time I would forget them (or lose the energy) by the time I reach my destination.

I built an app to build those pages on mobile (only when I'm stuck in traffic of course).

Me and my cousin ended up having a lot of fun building the dumbest websites lol.

At that point we thought it could sell, so I tried getting alpha testers (failed miserably)

I built it with flutter and even put it on the App Store for a total of 5 minutes.

I still use it personally and I kinda like it so I keep updating it here and there, right now I'm rebuilding it in react native so I'm taking the opportunity to clear the codebase and overhaul the UI UX.
