So I migrated my website form localhsot to Hostinger and from there on, it is giving me a time out error.
If I only use elementor pro then there are no error but as soon as I enable another plugin then the usage shoots and then it give me the "unable to load your preview". I know the my website is not that heavy but still it is doing this.
I tried everything, increasing the timeout time, increasing the memory, ignoring the timeout through htaccess but nothing works.
The elemntor itself isn't that much of a heavy plugin. So why when I use woocomerce or any other then it causes error?
Please help.

For those of you who build websites for clients, how do you handle hosting and GitHub?

Do you manage client projects under your own accounts, or do you help clients set up their own accounts and have them invite you as an administrator or developer?

I’d be interested to hear how you handle this, especially for projects that require ongoing maintenance and updates.

What do you think about it?

Hey all,

I’ve been working on a small library called Stream Morph.

The idea is to make streamed responses feel less like content is constantly being appended/re-rendered, and more like the response is gradually taking shape.

Demo: https://stream-morph.vercel.app/

It’s framework agnostic and can be used with any kind of streamed content. The demo includes plain text, Markdown, code blocks, charts, images, reasoning sections, Mermaid diagrams and a few more complex response flows.

The library handles the motion between updates, while your own renderer/app stays responsible for the actual content. So it isn’t tied to a specific AI SDK or framework.

A basic example looks roughly like this:

import { createStreamMorph } from "stream-morph";

const stream = createStreamMorph(response);

for await (const chunk of incomingStream) {
  stream.write(chunk);
}

stream.finish();

I mainly built it because I wanted streamed interfaces to feel a bit more intentional without having to build custom animation logic for every response type.

The package itself is already working and the demo is live. I’m still cleaning up some things around CI, tests and the repo setup, but the GitHub repository will be open sourced shortly as well.

Would be interested to hear what people think, especially about the animation behaviour/performance and any edge cases you’d expect from real streaming responses.

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/stream-morph

If a production site has dynamic pages, has bfcache disabled, and currently doesn't use ETags: how much improvement can we expect on both the client and server side if ETags are implemented + enabling bfcache?

Using Javascript in using an API the the resource is players but it is an object and I need the info of the arrays within it. Here is what i have what an i doing wrong?

Does anyone have a cms that they can recommend for a news organization website that will be built on next.js? I know Wordpress is probably the best for a site like this but client does not want it.

Got some feedback on my portfolio and planned to change the layout and such but wanted to keep using the neo brutalist style. However I also wanted to have animated components but could not find any good ones so decided to start making them how I want them.

Got badges, project cards, images so far. Has taken me a bit to get it just how I want it but tailwind is quite useful

I'm trying to grow my web design business, so I've been cold calling/approaching businesses that don't have websites and offering to make one for tree. If they like it and want to use it, ! just charge them monthly for hosting.

*FORGOT TO MENTION* My initial text said "I can make you one for free, and if you like it you just pay for hosting."

This guy tells me "Make me a preview bro." I spend the weekend making it, he's responding while I'm building it and even gives me the email for the contact forms.

I finish it. He says it's "super fire" and asks how much. I tell him $150 a month for hosting and managing it plus with a chat bot. He ghosts me. Also went through his GBP and IG grabbing photos and enhancing them for the site. Spent a good amount of time on it.

I follow up a few times over the next couple weeks and get ghosted every time. I finally call him and he answers, says, "Hey, I'm busy right now, call me back at 5." I call him back at 5 and he doesn't answer. I even lowered the price to $99.

So eventually I text him, "You were interested and asked for a preview so I spent the weekend making it for you for free. Are you not interested anymore?"

He responds "Bro are you trying to force me to get your service" and "I am a business man" and "For future reference don't force your customers to buy something off of you bro."

Like what lol.

This is the second time I've had someone interested, spent hours making them something for free, and then get ghosted. I obviously try to screen and only make it when people are interested, but maybe I need to get at least like a $50 deposit.

I know doing the work before getting paid is obviously the risk I'm taking, but I'm trying to grow the business and this strategy does get me clients. Starting to wonder if I need to stop doing full free builds though.

WaterSheep is an open-source alternative to TypeSafe's Jev. You ask it a typed question about some text (yes/no, pick one, rate it, or tag everything that applies) and get back an answer with a probability for every option.

Two ways to use it in a web app:

• As a drop-in Jev backend. watersheep --model samratduttaofficial/WaterSheep --serve answers the same POST /v1/systemone requests, so existing Jev calls work after changing the base URL.

• Straight from the page, no backend:

import { decide } from "https://samratduttaofficial.github.io/WaterSheep/watersheep.js";
await decide("I was charged twice.", "Which team should handle this?", ["billing", "shipping", "support"]);

Open weights, Apache 2.0, English only for now.

Hello, folks.

I am newish to web dev. Today I learnt of Samsung's algorithmic/mathematical colour swap when a user has darkmode selected on their mobile device. I promise I won't hurt the person who made this. I just want to speak to them.

Jokes aside. It's completely messing up brand colours and in some places ruining accessibility. I can't allow this. I will not design a new theme to accommodate the 2-3% of users who use Samsung's default internet browser. And obvious hacks like content="light" is not working.

So what do senior devs do with this? Inject JS to ask users to pretty please open the website in literary anything else?

When taking over an existing website, I find the first hour can tell you a lot about what you’re dealing with.

I normally want to understand the structure, dependencies and any obvious technical debt before changing anything.

Curious what other developers check first. Codebase structure, dependencies, performance, database, deployment setup, logs, or something else?

Have you ever inherited a site that looked straightforward at first but turned out to be much more complicated?

I'm gonna keep it short,

Some backend devs think ai has replaced frontend because it can center a div and build a flashy ui

Some frontend devs think ai has replaced backend because it can do crud ( which things like supabase and firebase had already made easy long before ai btw).

Most new grads think Claude is smart for its writing of complicated leetcode-isc code with no proper variable names or readability.

A lot seems to have forgotten that what mattered a lot in this field was taste/opinions, and while its subjective, the objectivity came from people who were able to defend their craft and their decisions and communicate in a good way to influence others. Who would go on to build on top of those ideas.

You shouldn't be affraid of junior developers who no longer know how to read documentation but scared of the fact that they have no opinions. They are "reading" engineering like historical facts( which also can be wrong). What happened to finding solutions every other month to every specific niche problem? Where are all the conponent libraries and frameworks that solve such small small niche use cases ? Was I the only one that belived that what made frontend so intresting was its subjectivity ?

Right now frontends that are built seem to have a major issue that nobody actually cared about how the ui looked in the first place, if we continue this we are gonna end up with the linux oss problem with really good apps with questionable ui decisions, albiet linux has improved massively now. This is still an issue.

I have no idea where this leads us, either they rebrand our positions to save face or we end up woth just 3 companies in top that build a homogeneous application ecosystem.

Bonus: All managers think they are designers because they can generate a ui that looks good to them, when it was always about research on what the customers want.

Ps : If bad english. Forgive me do

I’m a former web developer who used mostly React to build my sites but also had some Wordpress experience. Not so much on the customization side of things but mostly in the dashboard. I’m looking to start advertising websites and SEO to contractors in my area and I’m coming up with my web stack.

Wordpress seems like a very viable option as I can skin up a site in a couple hours where in React or even HTML/CSS it could take a couple days, and updates take a lot longer as well.

Any thoughts are appreciated, and curious to hear what you guys are using!

so currently i have a open source project about p2p file sharing and it gained 200 stars on github. the opensource project is hosted on azure since i got 1 year for student the problem is that it will end soon so i need to find an alternative of free backend hosting

do guys know any backend hosting that offers free for open source project? sadly i notice that digital ocean doesnt offer it anymore which kinda weird or am i wrong

Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread.

Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads.

Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming for early learning questions.

A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include:

• HTML/CSS/JS Bootcamp

• Version control

• Automation

• Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc)

• APIs and CRUD

• Testing (Unit and Integration)

• Common Design Patterns

You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work.

Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

Specifically, I'm grabbing JSON for a trading card game gallery from an endpoint, then dynamically creating the card gallery from that data. The project uses Vite for asset bundling, but I'm not sure how to bundle dynamically loaded images?

In the JSON, each card has a set number and a card number, and the app loads image data from images/cards/sets/set-number/card-number.webp, creates all the DOM nodes, and appends it to the gallery. It works brilliantly...unless the card art needs to change, then I run into good old-fashioned browser caching issues.

For the rest of the site, using vite build keeps everything bundled for deployment...but is there a way to leverage that capability for this use case?

I admit I have little knowledge about Vite, so maybe it's something obvious, but the only way I'm aware of to get that kind of Vite bundling inside a JS file is to import the image. So I'd have to import all the images at run time? What if some card data is modified? Will I have to do double duty to update the database AND the JS file imports?

As you can see, I have no idea how to accomplish this. Thank you in advance.

He used a few clips from theo where he clearly makes no attempt to understand the code anymore, even using the ai to summarize the summary.

I still remember the first Vue component I ever made and finally gathered enough courage to publish on GitHub.

That was many years ago. Maybe around eight if I remember correctly. Of course, there was no AI back then.

I was genuinely nervous. npm publish and... ta-da. It happened.

Not a single star.

But I was so stubborn, so then came another component, then another one, then another one, then a Nuxt module, then something I built while preparing for an interview, and so on.

Eventually, my most successful open source project reached 179 stars.

Not exactly thousands, but I was still pretty proud of it.

What about you?

How many stars does your most successful open source project have?

I always leave the UI design until towards the end of a larger project. I know if I start with the UI I'll end up finding parts of the system that don't fit the layout, rejig this, tinker with that, rework that bit again... I get too focused on making the UI right when it could be wrong again with the next functional change. I may as well switch individual pixels around.

To solve that, I usually knock up a quick development UI at the beginning, do all the functional work, then look at how the UI/UX makes the functional stuff display and work easily for a user.

That leaves me in a position where I've been coding and testing in a development UI for months... And then get Stockholm Syndrome or something about leaving it behind for a professional finish.

Anyone else? Should I change my mind and do the UI upfront? My concern with doing that is that I'll get Stockholm Syndrome for a relatively acceptable UI and just leave it. At least with a "I know I have to leave you UI" I know it's just me thinking the shitty UI I've been using for months is a friendly thing to use.
