A highly compatible design with no ads, unnecessary images, videos, animations, scripts that goes straight to point delivering you exactly the information you need and nothing else? Something that’s easily accessible even with old feature phones allowing older people to get information easily?
Simply something that loads instantly and just works?Who would want that?
Found the backend dev. “CUT THIS AESTHETICS NONSENSE! GIMME THE VARIABLE CONTENTS ALREADY! WE’RE 3.54 NANOSECONDS BEHIND!”
Frontend: “Come on, this needs at least some flair. This isn’t the 90s.”
Throws React at it
React ugh, everybody is using NextJs these da- …oh, what’s that? We’ve moved on already?
yeah, just css is enough.
you don’t need js unless you need to fetch data dynamically.
you can do all of your animations, dropdowns and transitions in css.
like this menu i made. no js in sight.also fully accessible and you can tab right into it without clicking enter or whatever
(and respects prefers-reduced-motion)
what is wrong with this frontend? not enough ads? loads too quickly?
Honestly, no units
I would hire you as my lawyer.
No cookie banner with the worst dark patterns of UX imaginable
No designated time zone.
Good, that we have specialists for both and nobody is advocating that everyone should be doing full-stack work… oh wait.
As a full stack developer I can assure you I can easily produce the result displayed in both those panels in the image 😏
Full-stack development and devops: When you need an entire IT department but only want to pay for one person.
The top one’s a motherfucking website, indeed.
RIP txti.es
What happened with it?
As far as I understand, they were offering free hosting and bad actors took advantage. They didn’t want to start charging so they closed down. Like giving out candies on Halloween and one asshole takes the whole bowl. No candies for you kid, sorry.
The page at the top looks perfectly fine. It’s useful, it gets the job done and it’s lightweight.
almost as good as the motherfucking website. :D
I like the better motherfucking website
From my experience, devs be like:
Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! … and I the end, not even the backend works properly.
So in the end, it doesn’t even matter?
I TRIED. SO. HARD.
God I wish weather pages were more like that first one.
I like to use this one: https://wttr.in/
You can get info for a specific city by appending it like this: https://wttr.in/newyork
It seems to be down right now, but if i remember correctly this one also works when you are using a terminal and curl, i.E.
curl wttr.in/newyorkEdit: It works again, you can use the command as written above :D
Nice thanks.
What if I want the weather in Paris, TX?
You need to fire a gun and to a really good bald eagle impression.
The frontend developer made the backend so inefficient that it runs out of memory
