Web Development - WAYWO - #8

[KmartSqrl]

I finally get to use RSpec again, yay for Ruby and TDD!

On the downside, there is no test coverage for this project yet, so I have a lot of work ahead of me on that front.

Thank You. Wanted to find a good lightweight and simple blogging system but laziness and stuff.

Been working on this for the better part of my day:

Would love some feedback. Here's the concept I used as reference:

I really like the new one, I'm actually proud of my work for once! (which never happens)

I don't like the gradient on that button, and you should have an inset look to the header.

The gradient isn't the best, I'll give you that. As for giving the header an inset look, what would you suggest? Flipping the separator upside-down? Borders? Box-shadow? Just curious.

so finally his brother agreed.

Bad memories...thanks for that :v:

[QUOTE=Ac!dL3ak;40009061]text-shadow[/QUOTE]

Huh? What browser are you using? I did give the text an inset look using text-shadow and even debugged (to the best of my knowledge) in Firefox and Chrome and it shows up...

I looked at the image, and it doesn't correspond to your site.

you should fix that.

Made this a while back

Oh no, I strayed away from a concept...it's worse than dividing by zero!

If you're going to post a picture, you should make it match the site. That's the [i]least[/i] you could do.

Posting a concept of a site is like me posting an image of the concept of a weapon and a link to the model download.

I posted the picture to show people what I was using as a reference. I don't know what part of that is confusing, but I guess including mockups is enough to drive people crazy. I'll keep that in mind next time.

P.S. It is asking for some weird permissions - I suggest revoking the 'read_mailbox' and 'chat' permission, It is only meant to ask for that permission for admins (it automatically messages admins when possible abuse is picked up) but I think I have some thread safe issues so as soon as an admin logs in it is added to the permission list and not purged after the request.

Fixed permissions

I remember this, I think Tera did a design for it as an example and I converted it to front-end. Infact here it is:

[KmartSqrl]

Made daily750.com take the user's timezone in to account when deciding the cutoff time for a page for the day. You set it on registration or on the account settings page, and when set during registration the select box is automatically set by detecting the user's timezone with js.

That was a little bit more work than I was expecting it to be haha.

I put this together in the last 2 hours:

Very much just a quick project and thought it could be cool, anything specific I should add?

[loony383]

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;40024210]Its a tad plain at the moment, the title looks a little odd in black.
Try a thinner font for the title with a slightly larger size, and perhaps make it white instead.[/QUOTE]

Changed and I do think it looks better, will make a small logo at some point, also added some more text on the homepage and a submission form, hopefully to get some content on there

[QUOTE=nehkz;40000953]Does anyone know a lightweight blogging software? Since I don't know any back-end languages I can't write my own.[/QUOTE]

If you don't care about comments/etc and just want posts/pages/etc I built a quick static-blog generator in Lua: [url]http://pointlessramblings.com/pages/Luapress.html[/url]

There's also Octopress, Jekyll which both do similar things.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;40024956][t]http://i.imgur.com/kSYdtv0.png[/t]

Just a few more tweaks.[/QUOTE]

Looks nice, maybe make the borders between regrets 1/2px? And the 'meta' text under each entry could be a little bigger. Also the G in the title appears to be slightly more left than the main content.

[loony383]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll do that when I next go into the code, this really was just a 2 hour mess about, I'm hoping it'll get enough interest to justify spending more time designing it properly and adding things such as categories and ratings, perhaps have it user moderated too

Always enjoying reading this thread, I wanted to have a go at node.js, and I have to say, I REALLY LIKE IT!

This was my "website" (if you can call it one), just a static html page, with some dynamic images:

Using some node.js, I made this, which replaced it:

Nothing too fancy, but it does exactly what I wanted :P

The gradient makes the edge look a bit odd IMO. The font is also a bit too thin and copyright, e-mail hidden thingy, and the length verification have a colour that makes it hard to read.

Ruby apparently supports

if something then
  # do something
end

syntax

huh

You don't need the "then".

Were you using curly braces or something?

[Ac!dL3ak]

No, I know I don't need the then. I just found it quite interesting; I've used ruby for quite a while, and I know the syntax, I was just surprised I could use it there.

It kinda reminds me of Lua.

I really dig this whole thing:

do_something unless shouldnt_do_something?
do_something if should_do_something?

Surely this would make it hard to read and understand when coming back to old code, since you might not notice the following if when scanning the code?
