I'm not sure when this started, a month at least, maybe 2-3, but a few Chrome versions ago, I noticed that selection and radio boxes simply stopped displaying on all website. I can still click where they are supposed to be and it activates them and lets me submit forms but it is really annoying. I google it every so often and all i find are results from years ago. Not sure where to ask or what...
The obvious move at the time was to move to django and I spent some time familiarizing myself with it's own DSL. But boy was i struggling all along the way to do things how I liked in Flask with django. The Django Templates were extremely limiting (no modules) and couldn't even do regular python things and I came to find that extensions for Django were in no better shape than flask's. There was no clear solution for rate limiting and various other things I was looking for.
I've followed rails from a distance for a long time but, coming from python, ruby seemed so abstract to me i could just never figure it out but towards the end of my django time, i was finding that rails did/had everything i wanted and it all worked just the way i wanted it to and it was calling to me really hard. i took a big leap and spent a couple months diving fully into ruby, doing all the tutorials, reading all the books. at this point i am officially converted and my project app with it is already further along than i ever got with flask or django. when they say "ruby/rails is built for programmer happiness", they really mean it. and i can really feel/appreciate it. it's extremely fun to use and to see real progress without having to rack my brain and figure out some internals before i can proceed every so many hours. i'm just getting shit done and things work just how you'd intuitively think they should. rails ftw
I'm making a note-keeping web application and am looking to do a bit of idea validation. I'd really appreciate if everyone that read this could answer any or all of these questions:A) Do you have a system for saving information to reference later?B) What is your currently preferred app/system/setup for doing so?C) What is one thing that bothers you about your current system you wish was done...
To be honest, I am way too invested already to not finish this thing, despite whatever response I get from posts like this. Sometimes I do get curious though. A surprising number of people I've asked in person simply are not interested in saving things from the internet. I guess if all you are into is watching Snapchat and Instagram all day, why would you?
This makes me think I need to tap into the larger business-type market and has me looking into what it would take to implement a permissions system for teams/multi-user editing of notes/etc.
I know there are dozens of half-decent note keeping apps out there but I'm not satisfied with any of them and I have a dream of creating one that doesn't bother me the ways others do. I feel like this is the best idea I have going and I have it generally mapped out as to how I want it to look and function. I would love to create it and work on it for a long time to come but that would mean...
Keepshelf is the note keeping/organizing app I've always wanted. Take notes with ease and copy/move into folders through a fast and convenient UI, instantly synced and accessible on all devises.
Asking for a friend...
i'm working on a project and trying to get a sense as to what type of text entry people prefer in their note-keeping apps. thanks in advance!
I love making web software as a hobby but I'm fairly short on ideas. My interest is definitely in the business/productivity SAAS side of things so I thought I would ask; what's a software tool or app you wish existed to make your personal or professional life easier?
I'm having a really hard time deciding between sticking with what little Python I know and using Django or switching over to Ruby/Rails for developing my side project. I'm hoping anyone could jump in and voice their opinion on either side.Clearly the Ruby community is experiencing some kind of event where the numbers are shrinking and some of the more prolific bloggers/contributors are talking...
i think it boils down to how explicit python is. it is so immediately clear to me what is going on and where things are coming from and what they are doing that when i look at ruby/rails code it looks like a big empty void that is producing something fantastic and all i can thing is "...wtf?". i really really want to know how to speak in magic but i'm not sure my brain is equipped to process it.
Let me start by saying I am familiar with all of the options and am not looking for any recommendations to "just use django". I know all about django and, imo, it still falls really short of what rails provides. A solid system (rack::attack) for throttling, a built in jobs and storage system that doesn't rely on a 3rd party library, ERB > django template language, Capybara is amazing, built...
The beginner-level stuff is bountiful but I am having trouble tracking down anything beyond the basics. Could anyone list/link where do you go for more advanced how-to's with Ruby on Rails and/or some opensource projects that are readable and "best practices"-like?Thanks in advance.
I'm really in need of some intermediate-level resource of code samples to help me get a grasp of how to do things beyond the basics all the tutorials stop at.
I'm interested in making a transition from python/flask/django to ruby/rails and I'm hoping someone could point me to a book and/or open-source project that covers alot of the common setups/best practices for a modern rails project, similar to what the subject resources provide for python's django framework.Even the best 'learn rails' resources stop short of any real production-quality...
Say some code snippet or instructions for doing something, workflow for common tasks, notes to yourself while researching, or anything you might want to come back to, what is your process for saving and recalling this information later?
i am personally not satisfied with any of the options out there for note keeping. theres plenty of stuff like Evernote and Onenote for writing stuff but I find their one-level-folder organization structure to be hard to navigate and digging up information down the road cumbersome.i really desire an application that allows me to store all the bits of information i come across and want to save...
At home, at work, on the go... what do you use as your all-arounder for music/games/whatever? Do you have it amp'd? Do you love it or does it leave something to be desired? Would you buy it again if it broke?
