I do the "solve your own problem" all the time. I have a list of "ideas" that I keep in a To-Do list app. I just counted and my idea list is 51 items long. Some of them are simple …

You know, I feel like this sometimes too. For me, however, I've just got to try some things. I've been doing it for 25 years and although I make a few hundred a month on my ideas, nothing ha…

It's a buy button (really just a hyperlink) that you drop on any marketing page. It's a very simple secure order page. It tells the customer they are earlier than expected and that the produ…

Not that one; similar idea.

I've switched the check to js and I no longer pass the card data to the server at all. Thanks for the concern; got me to fix it.
comment
I have a Facebook account but only use it once a month or so. I'm trying to pump a motorcycle Instagram account right now, so I'm active there multiple times a day using a Chrome extension I…

GitHub for static stuff. Digital Ocean VPS for the rest.
comment
I tried to reduce the attack vector as much as I could. The credit card number is passed from the front-end to the server to be tested for checksum. The credit card information is NEVER logged, stored…

It's only slightly related, but I had this thought about setting up a wireless alternative to old BBS systems using only WiFi hotspots without an Internet connection. https://www.joeld…

I don't see any mention of HTTPS support for custom domains. I wonder if this helps move the needle on that. I had moved a lot of project hosting to my paid GitHub account but SSL has become a ne…

I find React Native just as bad, if not worse. They don't try to keep backwards compatibility like PhoneGap did, which often means a few upgrades here or there. With React 15 we chose to rewrite …

I am assuming that, yes. Websites with mass appeal should probably think about this. Yeah, I develop on a MacBook Pro with Chrome on a massive network connection, but I do an awful lot of web browsing…
comment
I'm including everything you need to deploy in those numbers. You included only React and not React-Dom. My own try at setting up React results in a 750k js file when I follow the instructions be…
comment
I stopped reading at "both are fast and light weight" because I don't find react to be "light weight". React is 275K (nearly a quarter of a meg) when it is minified and gzippe…

Like Google Hangouts?

There are also a lot of legal gun owners who have a gun but are not a threat.
comment
That's how the trolls were using TX courts prior to this decision. If you have a website, you're doing business in TX and that's where we'll sue. Sounds like this requires you to b…
comment
This looks really cool. I love to write blog posts and some of those I'd like to sell on Amazon as ebooks. For me, it lost my images for some reason (they are relative on the site). I didn't…
comment
Correlation is not causation. That's what comes to mind. I doubt that it's intentional, it's probably just cost effective.
comment
This looks pretty cool. I'm on a phone, so didn't look at source, but I'm curious about install procedure (also see an issue about brew). As a web dev, I think I'd like to see this…
comment
I consider anyone who creates music a musician. Some of my favorite sounds are the ones created by amateurs in the subway. My favorite guitar players are self taught. I won't be composing Right o…
comment
And please AUTO PLAY the last thing I was listening to when the phone connects to bluetooth or at least when the app opens. If I'm listening to a radio station when I shut off my bluetooth device…
comment
For me, I disagree. I'm a fairly untalented guitar player. I spent 2 years with several teachers and self-learning and I can't really play anything. I can improvise a bit, knowing the Minor …

I imagine it's only for new blank tabs, which typically have some frequent visited sites listed on them. I can't see how it would effect productivity (well, unless you often click through to…
