This has a very straightforward and straight-to-the-point proposition: Forms for your website for $15/year. No pricing page, just a single, simple offer. I much prefer this [with priced addons when you have them] than the usual multi-o

It appears that you already have some tech skills [in C/C++]. This is more than a lot of people can say. What you should consider doing is finding some meaningful work around that area of skill to get yourself back on track. Here are a

Thanks so much for your detailed response. And thanks for your contribution to the space with VirtualMin. It appears it would be unwise to just build a direct competitor to CPanel, Plesk, etc. Not only would that be short-sighted (given the

Note that I mentioned that I used to be in the business; just have a few clients I'm working with now. 7 to 10 months seems doable for an MVP, but we'll see. I'm looking to have something that a CPanel/Plesk client would

Thanks for the feedback. Could you share what it was in the four you looked at that didn't meet your expectations? What were you looking for specifically?

Thanks for the feedback. 'Had this same problem [not with Hostinger]. It stopped when I started registering domains with privacy. Looks like spammers pull the email address from WHOIS.

Thanks. It looks like I have to buy into a Hostinger plan to use the panel? If so, then that's what I'm trying to avoid. Also, the problem with this is that it's going to be a massive hassle when you want to move to another h

This has a simpler interface, yes. But, it took me a while to get comfortable with regular expressions, so the explanations of what was going on was like a built-in tutor, and apps like this definitely need this to be useful to learners.

I use regex101.com, which has a really great explanation feature, but it's not really built for 'search and replace'. You might want to take a look at it and see how you match up against it.

I guess it would depend on what you're using it to build. If you're using it via Ionic framework to build an appstore-bound app, then maybe not so much. However, if your focus is a Progressive Web App for universal use, then it&#x

@rosiesherry Thanks for this, and congrats on the business. I wish you all the best going forward in your industry (which I had never heard much of before now). It's incredible looking at the revenue breakdown just how much 'train

Author here. We just redesigned the restive.js website. We've built a new toolkit called rScript to replace restive.js in the coming months, but we felt a change was in order. Comments welcome.

Never liked Samsung phones (Google Nexus 5 user still), but this is really annoying for their customers. I'm even sadder for those who buy these expensive phones unsubsidized.

Looks interesting. How does it compare to a tool like Ansible?

Great! Another thing to worry about. So happy I don't use them. I'm hoping we [as in the Web community] finds a better way to make mobile-friendly/responsive happen, and soon, because it's things like this that drive peo

Thanks for the feedback. I think the safe answer is that your website is considered mobile-friendly if it passes Google's mobile-friendly test. Regarding popups, I guess most of them are built for desktop browser environment so they do

Definitely a problem that needs solving, but we run the risk of implementing too many 'bite-size' libraries with code that could probably serve better as helper extensions to already existing toolkits e.g. jQuery, underscore, etc.

I feel you on this. Being certain/definitive about your media queries is an impossible expectation.

Thanks for your feedback. Tradition is a hard thing to break. I've come across a number of websites that fit the viewport, but don't look quite right on mobile devices and I guess it's because of the way min/max-width wo
