Re:Show HN: Convert blog articles to high-quality audio on Monday January 07, 2019 @07:18AM (#18844592)
There are some UI issues from what I noticed:

At small breakpoints, the UI (especially the "try it now" button) can overlap some text. Sizing also seems off.

Another issue I noticed is the play button itself, the entire circle area is clickable, however only the play/pause icon can actually be clicked.

There are also numerous accessibility issues. If you're going to advertise this as something to improve accessibility, it might be good to actually concentrate on that for your landing page.

I do hope the UI can be improved, as the product looks solid.

I would suggest you now focus your attention elsewhere. Wordpress is a great eco-system, but if you want to earn more, dive into Javascript with ES6.

From there you can pick-up a UI framework (I would personally suggest Vue.js), and move onto exciting large-scale front-end applications, with a better pay-check.

I've almost doubled my salary moving from a Wordpress developer to a front-end engineer in a years time.

Someone played around with it, you still get the XSS alert, but after that you get redirected to pornhub. Funny stuff.

Not so funny when you're going there at work, but that was my fault.

We will most likely need to go through a manual paper route.

I personally have had some huge wrist pains recently (I do have a doctors appointment planned to check that out).

This caused me some great stress because I am an avid gamer, and also a developer.

Knowing that there are solutions, really reassures me, at least for my day job.

Re:Vue Native on Wednesday June 13, 2018 @03:37AM (#17301072)
This uses react-native, I would not consider jumping on the Vue ship if you've been waiting for a native solution. This seems more like a hack-y way of going about it.

Some other solutions are out there, one of the main ones being nativescript. However it feels like the community still hasn't "agreed" on a solution like React did.

To my knowledge, Vue still does not have anything official around native.

I would consider waiting for now, unless this proposed solution suits you.

(This doesn't mean you shouldn't start using Vue elsewhere however, I have been using it for the past few months at work on a pretty large-scale project and it is my favorite library by far, for many different reasons).

To add on the original comment:

Your website, ironically, breaks at a smaller viewport (at least my small screened firefox on desktop).

I would really consider making this work on tablet / mobile devices, and fixing the accessibility ASAP. Especially considering the product you are trying to sell.

How can I trust your phone hardware if your website doesn't meet modern day standards?
