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…

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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 …
