@Tony @ins0mniak that's because JavaSnitch is shit and nobody likes it except faggots, pajeet scammers and glowniggers who run a surveillance State out of your cookies. Uncle Ted warned us.

@sunmcnukes @Tony The sheer amount of malicious js on webpages makes me want to tear my hair out.

I started learning JS so I thought that's just what software was and then I started messing around in python and was like omg this is so much easier.
I feel like JS requires too many components? I found myself with like 1000 random files to do each little thing

Nah, im using Flask/python for the front end too.

I do the same. I max out my bandwidth at the end of each month.
Have you rsync'd both Project Guttenberg libraries? I think they're around 2TB together.
If you do, I have a cgi script for a local gemini server that will allow you to search and load books in a browser.

@Humpleupagus @Tony @sunmcnukes I spent the last 3 weeks just downloading as much as I can think of from library genesis.
I have this weird fear that I won't be able to do that someday so I'm trying to amass as much content as i can.

@Humpleupagus @Tony @sunmcnukes Naw but I should. I just spent some scratch on some legit storage space, so I don't have much of an excuse for not doing so.

I have a public site right now.
Its pretty simple just a landing page, about page, and a form fill and contact info.
But I work with commercial customers (paint apartments) so there really is no need for like fancy things you'd at to keep residential customers coming back.
Right now, the most valuable thing I want to add is the CRM. So i can be on a job site and take before/after photos, upload estimates, make notes, keep track of units, ect while im working.
Right now I scribble everything down in a notebook, come home and spend hours in google sheets creating invoices and what not. So I want to template everything so I can do it while I work and save myself time at home.
It sucks to do manual labor for 10 hours and come home and spend 2 hours creating and managing invoices.

@Tony @Barbecued_Lemons are you also going to make like a public site for the business?
-
Embed this notice
in the future I hope to, but my business is small and I have like 5 customers so there's no need.
But painting has lots of cool stuff you can do for website stuff so I hope down the road I can make it cool lol

@Tony @Barbecued_Lemons yeah don't bother with react for such a simple website
if it doesn't need to be responsive, don't make it responsive !

@Tony @Barbecued_Lemons yeah flask is really comfy, hard to beat
i have 2 main sites i develop for work, one is a normal flask site that uses templates for everything, the other is a fancy responsive website where flask's only job is retrieving stuff from the database

That's the one thing I im not super good at. I use the templates for my regular work site (just a landing page and form fill) but i got a little lost when I tried to make it responsive using react + flask. So I gave up and just stuck with static web pages lol

I wanted to learn software and i figure the best way is to fix a problem or make something that helps me in everyday life.
Also I fucking hate angies leads (lead generation company for contractors) and quickbooks (financial and customer tracking) can suck my dick.
So, my hatred of the services I used drove me to this.
