₦airaland Forum

jflexy:
I contacted a nairalander sometimes in August 2019 who was selling a VTU script and requested for one, he told me it was 100k, after much negotiation, we settled for 30k. All through that period, he was very polite and was friendly. As soon as he got the money, he became totally rude. I tolerated it because he kept reminding me that I paid lower than the agreed sum for the script. Our agreement was that he would work on it and build up the script to the required standard. After he told me he was done, I proceeded to check on the site, but realised there were many unnecessary details on the site and that the script wasn't functioning as earlier taught. I complained about this to him and he quickly replied me that I didn't pay for customer service. I asked him if this was how the script would have been if I had paid the 100k he earlier requested, he never replied to this. From that day, that was the Genesis of my problems, almost everyday, I was paying him to problems on the site and I ended up spending the said ₦100,000 he earlier requested. In spite of all these, the site became worse than it was at the beginning.
One day, I logged in to the site to fund a customer's wallet, I met with a bug on it "user not found" I complained about this to him about it his reply was "is it everyday that your site is always having problems" he told me he was tired of working on it. Note that in all those times he would fix any problem on the site, I paid everything he requested from me.

After he made that statement, I was severally pained. I contacted a lot of developers who would help me overhaul the site, all of them said they can't do so because it is only the initial developer who could know which file was which. I continued this search until I abandoned the site for almost 5 months, I lost all my customer base.

When I got enough payment from my NYSC allowance I continued the search, but each told me only the original developer could work on it. That's how I contacted this man again, I led down everything to him. We agreed on 45k and I paid him a total of 30k in advance and then balance the latter after he was done. He said it would take him 2 weeks after the end of the two weeks, he complained that he had been sick. I gave him an extension. After 1 week, he returned that he's done. My instincts told me to check the site first before paying him the remainder. I went back to the site and observed that the site was still as it was.
Also note that when I told him to overhaul the site, it was to change the method of earning on the site. Could you believe that he changed nothing but just added features without removing the other details on the site? With this every thing I clicked was clashing between them. I complained about this to him and told him in simple terms that since he previously complained that the script was always having problems, why is he still using it, why is users still showing "not found" and others.
His reply was "after suffering to build, you're not saying that what I built was trash" I told him, how can you think someone would pay for a work and not expect the work to function properly. I proceeded to tell him to either take care of the errors I listed(he asked that I show them to him) or refund the money paid so I can continue searching for someone else. He refused, when I continue requesting for refund, he blocked me. I sent my cousin to talk to him, he also blocked the person.

Please anyone who knows how I can reach him or know how yo settle this because all I need is my money, if he's convinced that what he built was good, he's free to take the site along with the hosting but he should just refund my money to me. He knows if I was in Abuja with him, I would have visited him in his office, he's only behaving like this since he knows I can never reach him.


His name on nairaland is Tactics(search for tacman to bring up his activities), his bank account details is

You actually went too cheap. Next time never tell a developer to use script in building your platform. Out line your project requirement on document, if possible get a UI/UX designer to create a prototype for you so you will be sure of what you're getting. Sorry about the experience though... When will you people stop doing 30k, 40k kinda website?

I NEED SOMEONE TO TEACH ME THE BASIC OF APP MAKING(i.e list of all the topic/knowledge i need to acquire before proceeding)
AND ALSO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THEY NEANT BY "FRONT END and BACK-END OF THE APP"

How can you know only the basics of these powerful languages of both low and high level... Why not pick one and master it.

Found a solution yet?

yea yesterday was something else nepa no gree bring light till evening then i tried it, it didnt work the paystack-js module is a browser module cant work on backend cause it needs the windows object i even tried to install node-window to imitate the window object it didnt work i just beta save my self the stress by doing everything in the frontend and left it for paystack to handle the rest tym to do other things abeg anyway thanks for your help i really appreciate

You're welcome, you can actually pass the parameters to paystack from frontend then process the transaction response on the backend

peterincredible:

you don't need 24/7 electricity to try this out

peterincredible:
this is exactly want i want to do i hope it is safe sha bcause i have not tried it (nepa wahala) here is from example i just got from
paystack-js. npm module and here is the example just what i wanted

import { Transaction , Card } from 'paystack-js' ;
const requestData = {
email : 'customer@email.com' ,
amount : 100 , // amount in kobo
key : 'replace_with_your_public_key' ,
};
// Request a new transaction
const transaction = await Transaction .request (requestData);
// Create a payment method instance that will be used e.g card
const card = new Card({
number : '4084084084084081' ,
Security : '408' ,
month : '12' ,
year : '20' ,
});
// Payment method instances provide validation functions that
// you can use to check for validaty before setting payment method
if (card. isValid ()) {
try {
transaction .setPaymentMethod('card' , card);
} catch (e) {
console. log (e);
}
}
// Charge the payment method
const chargeResponse = await transaction .chargeCard ();
// Handle the charge response
if (chargeResponse . status === 'success' ) {
alert('Payment completed!' );
}
## Transaction
```Pending```
## Payment Methods
```Pending```
## Charge responses
```Pending```
## Analytics
```Pending```

here is the link to the npm module https://www.npmjs.com/package/paystack-js i hope am on the right path

This looks good. Give it a try

peterincredible:

What are you using for frontend?

peterincredible:
hi all i am working on a project and i want to integrate paystack in it using their paystack-api nodejs npm package but seriously am just confuse about it cause i want everything to be handled on the backend pls if you have done something like that pls point me to the right direction i really need help thanks

Paystack api documentation is very clear with most examples in nodejs. If writing bunch of functions is your issue, then go for paystack-node package. It's quite simple to use

Simple Answer.
Yes. cus at a point, you will need a knowledge that goes beyond self-learning to start with.

Can you explain @bolded? Is your answer the reason why techpointbuild sells ticket to startups b4 pitching?

Hello everyone, i went on techpointbuild to see if i can register to pitch at the 2020 event but i saw tickets where sold. Does a startup need to pay for ticket before pitching?

Tell us about your app or software and let's see how we can come in

Is you investment finance based or tech support.

salvationproject:
I used a normal text editor (NotePad) in writing the codes and then built the apk online using adobe phonegap build.
The apk may be a debug just as u suggested cause when I downloaded it, the name was reading something like mygpacalculator-debug.apk.

unfortunately you can't submit such app to playstore. The app should read something like mygpacalculator-release.apk and it must be signed. However you can share your debug app on other platforms.

salvationproject:
Sorry but how please?

What technology did you use in coding your app

Did you sign your app?

If you develop huge apps, it definitely will not end on a github repo. You'll make it a solution to the public and possibly monetize it. However, if you're planning to develop for the sake of getting a job then simple apps and todos will do just right.

mathephysicist:
Good thoughts here. My Node.Js knowledge include ExpressJS for backend, VueJs for front-end, wanna give Adonijs a try... But your thoughts is still needed bro.. As I am desperately in need of a Job.

To easily get a job, most recruitters are after you recent projects. Here is the best way to handle such. create a simple project. Commit it to your git repo. you can have more than one projects there. Include your repo links in your CV. this should boost your chances of getting a job

mathephysicist:
Is PHP a must in Nigeria Tech Industry?

NO.... Infact it is not needed in todays web app development. NODEJS developers are paid more than PHP devs. Most startup now use NODEJS to create web apps. There are many advantages of Nodejs over PHP. I write both Nodejs and PHP and to be frank, nodejs is way more beneficial to PHP. In speed, code architecture, modern technology, security, web sockets and more. If you can, stay away from PHP and learn nodejs instead plz do.

if it's wordpress, inspect and find it's css class. use it to hide the text.

I need help on flutterwave pay bill integration..

can someone put me through thanks

I will have it done. Contact me on 08170077580

This is a cool project and if you plan to make it a small scale app and be around for a short time then it's cool. But if you plan to turn it to a large scale platform then you made a mistake using BaaS for backend. BaaS is used for small projects with not much control. Remember you do not own your data. You can not export any data you have there to your own host. Since your app is still on development, it's advisable you develop your custom backend and database so you can have full control
