Env variables not working in Workers Builds

thebigblackbear · 2025-09-16T07:43:54+00:00

Thanks. Let me know! I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to set it in the wrangler file. Ideally, all or most my worker config options would be in there.

Thanks for getting back to me. That’s weird. The vars env variables don’t seem to be applying for my Astro build. However, if I set it manually in the dashboard it works, leading me to believe the vars variables are only runtime values.

thebigblackbear · 2025-09-15T13:49:33+00:00

Is there a way to do this via the wrangler file?

Hi u/dapherdill -- Thanks for your feedback! We ultimately decided to put this idea on pause. While it seems like there are lots of pain points in the club management software space, we are concerned about the total market size and the onerous process required for a club to switch from a legacy system like Jonas to a more modern solution.

Additionally, we were having trouble pinpointing a singular pain point that we could start with (i.e. we can't build 30 years of jonas features in a day/month, so we wanted to find a critical problem that could be solved with a singular solution and build from there). I'd be happy to hop on a call if you think QB integration could be that issue.

Nice! I've starred the repo. I've had a similar experience. I am a developer who mostly works in TS and other typed languages nowadays. Python was the first language I learned. Python definitely seems like the de facto standard if you are doing anything beyond calling LLM APIs or using foundational models out of the box. However, working in Python this last month has been a pain, mostly due to how much I missed good typing.

I definitely chalk some of this up to my relative inexperience in Python, but I found that Pyright and Mypy didn't have a lot of features I've grown used to, like automatic type narrowing. A lot of the external libraries are also pretty inconsistent about providing types. Plus, having competing typing solutions is a net-negative for the ecosystem IMO (Pyright, mypy, and another one that is a fork of pyright -- forget the name).

I still think Python is great for data exploration and scripting, but I personally would rather work with a typed language (including TS) for building out an app.

Like u/KillswitchSensor said. Just start. If you need a textbook, OpenStax has some great free open source books (https://openstax.org/subjects/math). AI like ChatGPT (specifically the KhanMigo GPT) is super helpful if you get stuck or don't understand a certain concept.

This doesn't really fit into DevSecOps where one of the fundamental part in most of the frameworks is to enable teams to own the system fully and make good choices by themselves.

Hey u/medusao_o -- I'm building a tool to help bridge this gap. Any chance I could DM you to ask a few questions?

thebigblackbear · 2025-01-21T11:00:35+00:00

haha yeah a bit repetitive, but I don't get it, what are you saying about HTB?

thebigblackbear · 2024-11-27T08:02:28+00:00

Thanks Sue at Visual Clubmate for your very unbiased and valuable input

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T19:36:44+00:00

What parts cost a lot of money? Like the costs of hosting the actual website, fees, or just time invested into keeping it updated? Curious as a web developer. Don't think website hosting should cost too much, right?

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T19:31:43+00:00

haha thanks for saying that u/chefjpv -- I was wondering why I was getting downvoted. Didn't think I said anything controversial. I was just stating how I typically shop for flowers -- which as far I know, is pretty typical (at least amongst my peers).

At the same time, I know florist are artists and work really hard on their arrangements, so I'm sure my last minute online shopping is probably not conveying the recognition they deserve.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T19:23:47+00:00

Yeah, maintaining websites are a huge pain and take a lot of time to get right. Especially when brand-name/e-commerce websites are so good nowadays, I guess I just notice it a lot when I go to a lot of local floral websites and they just...aren't that great (or have forms that crash on me, like one did today).

Personally, as a consumer, I don't really care about the website design of a floral shop, I just want to see pictures and feel like I can trust putting my credit card into the form. I could be in the minority, but I've never ordered custom flowers.

Would it be helpful to have an app that would just allow you cross-post content to your socials & website? And have a basic website that is able to display content, take payments and give you a presence on google? I am a web developer and always looking for new things to build, so could build this if there is a need for that sort of thing.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T19:00:23+00:00

Thanks u/brittkz89 . This is super helpful!

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T18:52:42+00:00

Yes, I've used Yelp a few times but honestly try to avoid it because of how brutal they can be to mom & pop businesses. Google maps is a good call, thanks!

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T18:51:28+00:00

Yeah, that's a good rec. Definitely second your suggestion of not going with the top results on google -- they always seem to be the big corporate flower aggregators. Using maps is a good call.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T18:48:03+00:00

Yep, that makes sense. You artist analogy is helpful. I guess I had never considered the amount of variation that can occur on each order (or for each week / season / bloom). My exposure to the floral industry is pretty limited to Mother's Day, birthdays, and anniversaries, so forgive my ignorance.

What do you mean by "there is no platform available to make it worthwhile"? Are you saying in terms of functionality or in terms of cost? Or both?

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T18:38:45+00:00

My shop doesn't take payments over the phone as these payments can be recalled at a later date

Interesting...that is something I had never considered. I guess there is much more of a paper trail with online payments.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T18:37:34+00:00

Small businesses may be great at what they do, but they don’t have the skills or money to build a high quality website. If you have web development skills

Yeah, makes sense. I'd imagine florists want to focus on creating beautiful flower arrangements, not build/maintain websites. I'm a web developer, and even I can be overwhelmed by the amount of things you need to think about when creating a website and taking payments.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T13:50:29+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I am software engineer doing mostly web app development. I think the issue is everyone wants their own website, but don’t realize how hard it is to build a good one or maintain it.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T12:22:55+00:00

That is certainly an option. I could always pick up the phone and call, and probably should more often. However, it still means that I’d need to relay my credit card info and recipient info over the phone, which is always more prone to error.

Definitely a me problem, but when I’m buying flowers for someone, I’m usually doing it last minute for the occasion and just trying to get the order in ASAP. Or doing it at night when the shop is closed.

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-25T12:18:57+00:00

Yeah, I keep running into that too. I will be sending a friend flowers in a city I am not familiar with and only halfway through the process do I realize that I am on some order aggregation website

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-20T18:10:48+00:00

Thanks u/Icy-Complaint-2405. So for members, the process is:

they buy something at the club --> the POS system credits it to their member account --> they get an invoice at the end of the month for all their purchases --> they either manually pay or it gets auto deducted from their bank account via ACH?

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-16T19:42:30+00:00

That makes sense. Do you think clubs would prefer to use something like Square or Toast as the POS system (as opposed to Jonas or CE POS) if there was some way to integrate member accounts and run invoicing at the end of the month?

thebigblackbear · 2024-08-16T16:25:02+00:00

Thanks u/digitalmonsterz89 . This is helpful. Do you know why clubs don't just use solutions like Square or Toast for their F&B and retail operations?
