They don't even know the task, let alone understand it. Bidding $400 for a task that shouldn't take more than one hour for someone who isn't sharp with their bash and cronjob skill but knows what the person is asking for. Pátápátá two hours of you say you want to double confirm that the emailing works.
It took me a bit more than 2 hours though cos I needed to install and configure mutt for the mail part and dinner cheesy man gats chop and relax small... you know as mac dey do with homebrew sometimes with their yeye updates... I kukuma disable the update patapata grin

However, you're not wrong as I'd have competed it in highest time of 1hr (both testing and ensuring it works)

ProgrammingRe: Please Rate My Portfolio Website by niel63(m): 9:56am On May 14, 2023
DDayve:
Thank you senior man for this. I will work on the point outs. I indeed appreciate.

Aside the visitors counter, the content are not stored in a database. I have them as variables (see attached pics) in a separate file and displayed them by importing and mapping them on the page.
I actually can store in database if I want, I just felt it's not necessary. Do you think it's better to fetch them from the database?
Not necessary is where the problem is... it is very necessary building a habit of doing the hard stuffs.

One thing I'd tell you it does is... it opens another dimension of your engineering skills.
How do you choose between databases, how can you work with different databases, their schema types and all... different jobs have different requirements.
Only a few Nigerians have worked with FaunaDB, DynamoDB and the crazy stuffs and yet remote jobs will hit you with different requirements.

I remember when I was using hasura with postgres.. but then, I realised I didn't even need them if I could just go with mine using nestjs/typeorm or sequalize and building out my own graphql server or RestAPI endpoints. At the end of the day you'll find out you'll learn more as you come at crossroads of choosing the best route to actualize your desired goals... you can simply stick with prisma.

At the end, you get familiar with all these. That's what engineering is all about.
Size of project and techstack to implement. Are you building for scale or just a simple app normal mysql database can handle.

Mix and Match bro!

When you call price for client... you choose to do what you can or simply walk.

These days I'm not even bothering myself much... I just go with sanity Headless cms or wordpress for data. Unless I am expressly instructed to use a particular approach.

Things are easier these days but hard to grasp as the market is coming with new approach of doing same stuff.
ProgrammingRe: Please Rate My Portfolio Website by niel63(m): 7:58am On May 14, 2023
Okafor David good job. There's always room for improvment.

Here are a few pointers:

1. You can make your typography stand out since your portfolio is based on black background. Bolder texts with catchy words can play you differently. (Play with it if you can)

2. Your picture is absolutely unnecessary... Nobody is interested to see your full body posture unless the picture is a banger. (Suggestion would be to crop out the body part and allow just your head portion... make it bigger and probably add a filter to it via CSS to black and white... just play with the image itself)

3. Your skill can be listed out in a more presentable manner and without the % rating cos honestly... if you're tested on all based on your percentage rating, you'd fail. I know don't ask me how... mistakes of the past cheesy It's obviously points out you're a still grasping on them.

4. Start developing your animation skills... but then you can get creative with AOS (Animate On Scroll) on the pages especially on the portfolio page.

5. Your contact page, your form should have appropriate padding so it is visually appealing... and then, your button is really doing well in hiding when it is the only thing that's supposed to pop out. I know how many times I have clicked on peoples button just to see it's behavior... you'd be surprised the little things people look out for. You can fade out the purple color to a disabled mode rather than hiding it entirely in black.



Overall.. great job bro! Keep moving. You're doing well.

I hope you're fetching your content dynamically. And not having it on a jsx/tsx/md file or even hard coded. Learning that aspect and putting it to practice would improve your skills and you'd learn more while implementing. I'd suggest you go with strapi CMS... it's beginner friendly. If you can sha, store it in your own postgres db or mongodb documents.

The thread don tey sha but even then, I remember quoting 13k usd for a cross platform app. Even though the dude no get the money that time, he was actually pricing 8k... but we didn't do it cos of of the APIs we wanted to use costs about 7k usd for them to provide us with their infrastructure. Omo, thank God for life sha... but truth is, these days, things are way cheaper. Depending on who you're working for and the quality of work they intend to have.

The mobile app is a dribbble design.

https://dribbble.com/shots/15282794-Food-Delivery-App/attachments/7036232?mode=media

What I used in developing the app itself is react native expo and styled component. The app screen I have is just what you see... other screens are developed with just that Idea and it's coming out well. It will be on codecanyon soon.

I think I might use Flutter for the next mobile app I am going to work on. grin My friend would say... Dey Play!!!
ProgrammingSharing Some Of The Figma Design Inspirations I've Used by niel63(op): 5:35pm On May 11, 2023
Sometimes I consider UI Designers as some of the trickiest people in the design and development ecosystem. These guys can be very mean with their ideas... I mean, they just go ahead and put these things into perspective without minding the developer's prowess. Well, I guess that is why companies carefully select their team.

I was to create a simple interior design website from scratch with a minimal budget. And me, I like doing things wey pass me sometimes... Instead make I kukuma go use WordPress with elementor jejely... No, I no dey gree hear word grin. I went on to use Vue/Nuxtjs.

The funny thing is, I have never worked on any project using Nuxt. So, I went on with Nuxt3 anyways just to see what I can achieve with it. (This is why I opened a thread earlier talking about project-based learning)

So I went on with Nuxt3 and with the documentation open on one tab, I decided to make the process easier for myself by using tailwind classes. I could have written out my own css classes to achieve same, using pure CSS or Sass sha!

Nuxt3 is quite simple I have to say... with the options to use either their composite or option API, I feel more comfortable using the composite API... na so I enter dev mode o! And na so I achieve this here: https://perfectfitinteriors.com

And the figma design I tweaked to my taste is: https://www.figma.com/proto/Ns26ZMGNvBEiEiYTPYa6ZO/Interior-Design-Webflow-Website-Template-(Community)?node-id=1-458

Anyways, as we all know, what makes your website dynamic is your content.
How I handled that was simple. I used sanity headless cms... who puts out static content these days anyway?

Basically, that's a jamstack website and whatever I learned will never leave my head. That's why I always encourage project-based learning.

doing backend stuffs is quite fun but these days, I just see it as re-inventing the wheels if you're just building a basic website. use wordpress for your content if you can't handle other headless cms's and employ the power of the almighty Graqhql. You will be alright.
Except you're building out software for scale... no go dey do pass yourself.

Sometimes I'd build out an API using Nest or Express and sometimes I do that with Laravel. My own be say, na as body sweet me and based on the particular project I am working on. However, moving forward, I am delving more into building out my API's using GoLang.


Anyway, I just dey bored and I say make i drop one for una. wink cheesy
