AngularJS question: Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use Angular expressions inside another directive? I'm trying to create a carousel using this plugin and this config. It'll print item.logo and item.title just fine, and outputs {"foo":"bar", "baz": "qux"} for item.pages, but the ng-repeat just prints nothing. I can't find any good explanation anywhere else.

code:

  <ui-carousel slides="siteConfig.menu" slides-to-show="6" slides-to-scroll="4" initial-slide="1" class="ui-carousel">
                            <carousel-item>
                                <img ng-src="{{item.logo }}" alt="{{item.title}}">
                                {{item.pages}}
                                   <a class="sql-menu-item"
                                       href="{{page}}"
                                       target="_self" ng-repeat="name in item.pages">
                                        {{name}}
                                    </a>
				</carousel-item>
                        </ui-carousel>

E: Apparently this is a known issue with transcluding ng-repeat. Might be able to use this to push back again and get us using something other than AngularJS.

Hello, I am still trash but I've since implemented almost all of the suggestions you guys gave to make my portfolio project be less pathetic. Please tell me why it is still not good enough to get an interview with tia: https://wanderrful.github.io/korean-learning-app/

Things I did since last time I posted:

• Created a separate back-end Express server on Heroku that serves a PostgreSQL DB table with data for the front-end linked above
  
• Removed the ugly checkmark and replaced it with a Bootstrap thing that looks marginally less dumb
  
• Added a "wrong guesses" list that shows your previous 3 attempts
  
• Added a popover hint message for the current problem if you make more than 2 wrong guesses
  
• Added alternate answers so that synonyms can also work
  
• Added more words to the database so that there's 6 things now
  

Answers to each prompt to help you get through it quickly:

• secret
  
• pencil
  
• chicken OR chicken meat OR poultry
  
• hug OR to hug OR embrace OR to embrace
  
• unemployed
  
• indecision OR indecisiveness

2 minute UX audit:

"Hey there! This app is still in development!" is in too threatening of a treatment, it also steals the focus of the page when it's more of a footnote.

"Translate to English" could use a punchier title. Even if it's just "Korean to English Quiz".

Question 1 of 6 could just be "1 of 6" and a little smaller

I'm not sure if omitting a submit button is good for accessibility or if the enter to submit has you covered. Agreed that it could use instructions.

I'd blow up the size of the Korean characters by like 200%-300%

Maybe add a hint after 1 or 2 wrong guesses. Oh wait this is there, maybe it needs to pop up sooner and just as inline text under the input.

Success feels really lackluster.

Maybe on the last page show the full Korean/English list again.

Maybe don't use transclusion? Or just create an inner component and transclude that?

code:

<carousel-item>
	<transcluded-thing/>
</carousel-item>

Flask, not much. Django, a bunch, but Django is a much more "batteries included" framework. The official Django tutorial is a good read (you don't have to actually follow along or even know python much) to see what it's all about.

Basically, Flask is React: it makes views easy, but you figure out all the other crap. Django is like uh.. Ember maybe? You do things it's way.

So if I want to teach myself Python and learn how to write REST APIs simultaneously, should I start with Python or just dive into one of these frameworks?

I have experience writing pretty simple HTTP requests in PHP and curl, if that makes a difference, but setting up routes and writing clean, concise classes is something I don't really know how to do.

Cool sounds good.

I guess my last question for now is what are the most popular tools for local development? Is there Python equivalent of XAMPP?

Grump posted:

Oh sick. Even databases too?

Learning for learning's sake ain't bad but not all knowledge is equally useful.These days I feel like knowledge invested into a framework is more useful than knowledge invested into something lower level like this especially from a career perspective. Maybe implement something algorithmic like a poker hand evaluator or what have you, learning algorithms is a good way to dig into the nuances of a language and is itself a more transferable skill than learning something that 1000 frameworks in every language can already do.

Just finished implementing or attempting to address each and every point/suggestion that the two or three of you guys made in response to my last post, quoted above. Thanks so much for the audits.

I hope that this, in its current state now, is sufficient for a non-garbage portfolio project: https://wanderrful.github.io/korean-learning-app/

Better! The empty progress bar is confusing, maybe hide it until the first question is answered. I would ditch the "press enter to submit" label since you also have it as a placeholder.

Hey all, I have been building this for a while and wanted to get some eyeballs on it.

The domain name doesn't mean anything, I just wanted something short and kinda funny. It's my attempt to create a discussion site that has anti-shitposting mechanisms baked-in. Rather than try to describe all the stuff it has and can do, I made several demo threads on the site itself.

I'm interested to see if people "get" it. How to browse, how to navigate, etc. Is anyone here brave enough to create an account and try messing with it? Thanks for any volunteers. It's hosted on a $13 VPS, so let's see if it holds up.

no you can't be mod, and a lot of it depends on people actually being embarrassed if their dumb posts get front-paged

Yes, but only because the APIs Thermopyle codes for me use them.

But then you also usually need:

code:

GET /products/new
GET /products/id/edit

code:

GET /products/new
GET /products/id/edit

Nolgthorn posted:

What? No. I mean you need a page that displays a way to "Create product" and you need a page to "Edit product", those are routes that generally have to exist.

Why would you not use e.g. a delete request to delete a resource, why make an additional get route for it?
