Looks good but the focus are on the images, yeah? But they are dark and recessed and the text super-white.
Now the attention shifts to the text and not the lovely cars there, you dig?
And they are quite heavy, please compress images losslessly before upload or upload as-is and use a quality transformation when fetching. Good luck.

Try understanding what's being discussed before sharing your surface level views/opinions

Ok sir, goodnight.

Sleekcode:
Leave that person alone... understanding basic things seems very difficult for him.

So now it's my fault that the technicalities in my posts flew over your head.
But those who understood, understood. My good friend, You're just a troll.
You're just a troll. Keep trolling, mr backend is only just api creation

Arrayman:
oga framework and phone are completely different, frameworks are for production purposes, while phones are for end users. If u don't understand this fundamental difference we cannot have an intelligent discussion

How are they different?
Frameworks are for production purposes; phones are for ends users but they come with manuals (docs) on how to use them; yea?
Did you finish junior high at all?
You kidz come to NLand and counter a post and do not throw enough light or evidence to back it up. Just 2 lines to counter and then turn off your data until the next day. Shame!!!

Najdorf:
I chatgpt'ed every one of his questions and got fully functional and commented code.....

Then you should have given it a shot and taken the price money. What are you waiting for? Cos you're not even sure the answer is correct. It's not your forte. You see the code quite alright but it could be BS.
I asked ChatGPT about an issue we were facing hoping it could provide pointers. It did provide commented code as usual but it was BS; generic code. A newbie would jump on it thinking it's the right answer. But hell no, it was not even close. Give ChatGPT a more isolated problem and it flops; at least in my case or at least for now.

It won't be shyt. That dude that offered $1000 or so for some mathematical bulaba; you think he never tried chatgpt?
heck, some people on that thread must have chatgpt'ed the hell out of his requests. we still dey here . . .

@truthCoder
Just change the random url that Railway assigns you. And stop worrying too much.
When it's time to deploy to production and handover; deploy a sinkhole alongside and you can sleep easy.

...try and see if you can make the boy develop the love for it first, if I were in your shoes, that's what I'll do. No be to dey come here they lie say you no wan make him talent waste which talent?

truer words have never been spoken. my dota loves "fighting" would only watch movies that are combat-inspired. i kukuma enroll her for karate class; go and fight all the fight you want..... if her body don calm down and she wanna do something else, then we will talk. watch the child first, then push them in the path they choose for themselves.

You typed a whole lot, i'm sorry but didnt make sense. i will reply with 3 lines.

1. User's dont care about BE, only what they see. Perhaps true! But when like that guy said, of what use is a beautiful FE without the Be? so who's gonna take the credit in this case? just add a little latency to the backend calls and see users dump this beautiful app; forgetting it's beautiful.

2. Stop being ignorant, before you update an app, read the changelog. There are mostly 3 digits to semver. Major, minor and patch.
If you look well its often patch and minor for a long time, before a major. A major is a complete overhaul that could hurt backwards compatibility. maybe new looks or new foundations. Go to playstore or appstore now and check for updates and read the changelogs, come back with the ratio of major to minor and major to patch. Ratio i said.

3. BeReal is shyte and looks shytty compared to Instagram and Tiktok, but they earned Appstore app of the year 2022. Google it if you ar ein doubt. But you said nobody downloads aesthetically unpleasing apps. So the millions of people who use it, use for the beauty? or the functionality?

Bonus point: You said "Without FE your backend builds are pretty much useless lol." but to that guy who told you Be involved more than APIs. Ever used SDKs and CLI. I use Netlify and AWS CLI every goddamn day and i tell you there's no frontend for it. CLIs dont have frontends. USSDs don't have frontends. Go look at Netlify CLI releases, you'll be damned, they update that sh!t every day i get tired of the update prompts.

I am done, you are a troll. But i hope you learnt a few things. Good evening.

Sleekcode:
Frontend codes are regularly maintained more often than backend codes

My good friend, what makes a piece of code or codes require regular maintenance has nothing to do with whether its Fe or Be
It's in simple terms, the business requirements.
if you were asked to create a website to showcase the happenings in the just concluded world cup Qatar 2022, tell me how often would you need to go back and maintain that site after the world cup has ended?
How often do you need to maintain a personal portfolio? And for what reasons? update the project list or redesign the interface, what else?
How often do you need to maintain GTWorld Online banking? Common sense 101 is the first lecture dished at software engineering.

akwesenana:
The straw dey draw sef.

I dont get you

Ahuitzotl:
[color=#1980BC] Wetin consign agbero with overload? Where is the security in frontend when you can spoof sites? or the logic if it isn't coming from some documentation or tutorial video? Copy and paste, no originality, that's what's up in the frontend and the less said about algorithms the better...The backend is where the heavy lifting is done...f**k your frontend.. [/color]

No need to fight, just let him understand. Without BE, FE are pretty much useless. Unless you're deploying a static website that just talks about your or your business and shows a phone number to call. No contact forms, no authentication whatsover.
Apply all the security to the FE( i wonder what security anyway lol ) and then zero at the backend and you in for a world of pain. Because they tell you everyday at FE101, dont save critical ENVs at the FE that the code can be inspected and modified.
Take away all the security ( meh ) from the FE and add security to the backend, and the app still stands gidigba.
Now add security to both and leave the cloud open (self-deployment), let my russian and chinese friends use your app do target practice
Once again, none is easier; just different risks (in order of magnitude, the FE being the lowest) and workloads attached to them.

Sleekcode:
Poor user experience can lead to loss of revenue lol

Explain how and give one example. let's argue like adults please.

Sleekcode:
Hey didn't lost that much.

I said "allegedly" and Google is your friend

as a side note, remember the MTN MOMO attack, they allegedly lost $53M
was that a backend error or a frontend error?
i'll like to see an example where a faulty frontend led to loss of revenue....
even if the frontend was sending bad data, backend team gets punished for not validating request bodies and testing enough.
once again none is easier but you choose.

As a fullstack engineer (who has done both) + devops specialist
i would tell you that none is easier tho with different risk levels, in summary.

FE: physical stress, what could go wrong? worst case bad UX e.g. forgetting it's a 2 col grid instead of 3, you get pissed-off customers
BE: mental stress, what could go wrong? worst case loss of revenue,e.g. forgetting to divide/multiple by 100 when using paystack, you give free cashout for your customers
DE: hyperstress, what could go wrong? worst case,e.g forgetting to install a firewall... DDOS attacks and total application shutdown; you get the worst kind of customers

these are just minor examples but good enough to make you find the answer yourself.

if you did your research enough, then you know that cracking a 256bit key will take you at least
13 billion years using the fastest computer in the world and no power shutdowns
with your intel laptop and erratic NEPA + slow glo network , lol , multiply that by another billion years
and you get your answer.
you my friend and your entire generations upon generations upon generations to come would be long dead before you get a single correct one.

I have that in place already. My choice of SMS option is because of the type app I am building...my client will prefer Verification Codes being sent to mobile numbers instead of emails.

if you can find a way to integrate firebase (and like using firebase and don't mind getting locked to firebase) into your app, then you can use

spark plan:
$0/verification up to 10k times a month.

pay as you go:
a) standalone sms auth at $0.06/verification
b) complete identity package at $0/verification until you hit 50k active users/month

both options being cheaper than twilio and aws

p.s: whatever sms solution you decide to go for, if you're using it for like a password reset, don't forget to implement some form of exponential backoff else it will end in premium tears for you.

donproject2:
Good morning, do you please have any cheap SMS API service you can recommended. The ones I am seeing are quite expensive. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, to be quite frank, SMS is the last resort to communicating with your customers (unless you've got big money) cos it's freaking expensive when you want reliability. Fun fact, even with big money, you still have to approach the key players for discounted pricing else your big money turns to small money soon.
Major names i've worked with are Twilio and AWS Pinpoint for their insane reliability; but once again expensive not because they are expensive (no pun intended) but because of our weak currency. There are many others like the homegrown "smartsmssolutions" but not quite reliable in my opinion.

kingmaster2009:
Now that you quoted...

For the fact that your grandfather came to hustle in Lagos state and breed your father and you doesn't make yourself a Lagosian...

If you can answer this question correctly then...You are a Lagosian. Your grandparent during the civil war 1966-1970 ....do.dey walk freely on the street of Lagos state or do dey lock up themselves in their room...or so dey relocate back to the Yeast?

There is no how Nymairi people can claim. Lagos....even though you and your parents were born there.

My grandfather was already decayed long ago in his grave before the civil war.
I repeat, I don't have time for offsprings made from cumshots of some tribalistic !diots.

kingmaster2009:
And 50 years till this time, your governor will not dare any project like this...

Yoruba people lead quietly...

And you would quickly assume I wasn't Lagosian or living in Lagos. the height of stup1idity!
Idont have time for tribalistic !diots. Dont quote me, bye

5 years and they would be barely recognizable, lots of human sh1t on the tracks and hanging agberos. Lagos na wa !

app.use(cors()) will help you, use all you want during your development... but unsafe for production

for production, something more like below is sufficient.

https://i.imgur.com/2mJG5Uw.png

Then pass the delegate to it, like so
app.use(cors(corsOptionsDelegate))

^^ I was only referencing OP's post. Thanks

Front end---- the part of the website u see with ur eyes.

Back end.. the unseen part...

I'm an aspiring programmer and I'm still finding it difficult to know what difference there is between the part of the website u see with ur eyes and the unseen part.

which vendor lock in? Vendor lock in has to do with cloud platforms, not frameworks. Most frameworks are open source by the way so a company can modify it to suit its particular needs.

You can "vendor-lock" yourself into a solution that is not even paid, absolutely free, if you build your world around that solution and then having to migrate out of it would require the whole Spartan army.
It's not until it's a "cloud" solution. It's a term that has evolved into bounding yourself with chains that now require too much of a sacrifice to unbound.
In fact, vendor lock starts from paying nada, using the free version until you are waist-deep and the only way to ease your suffering is paying for the next available tier. Tailwindcss is free, if u carry am for head like gala, u will end up paying for Tailwind UI sooner or later if care is not taken.
Simple. I'm done, Bye! Dont quote me pls.

Arrayman:
no, that is not what frameworks are supposed to do, fireworks are to reduce your work load and increase your production output, if u lack understanding of the underlying language of a firework.you are most likely not to be very productive in it or at best produce poor code.

You seem to be incoherent and beat around the bush and smartly avoid questions asked. I ask again, do you understand the underlying (using your own words) language in your current mobile phone? Yes or No?
Question 2: Would you consider yourself productive enough when using your current phone or use it poorly?

Arrayman:

Uhmm, tell me something, so you mean a company that used e.g. Angular and is now having some sort of issues can then fork Angular and then modify the source code to suit their needs? Are you playing?
I would very much like you to modify the part of React that returns a tuple during state management and make it return the tuple and a map; so i can choose if i want to use the values inside the tuple or access the values in the map, same values anyway.
Just because AWS forked Mongodb or because Facebook created a blend of php, then every company with an issue with a framework is able to do the same, just because its open source right? You seem out of touch with reality.
Netlify recent had an issue with their CLI and how it handle requests to edge functions. it took 3 months to fix it from the date of first incidence. Heck, it's open source. I guess someone like you would have modified the source code and made it suit your needs, yes, at the snap of your fingers like Thanos.
Programming doesn't end on the couch in front of YOutube.

Arrayman:
would u be able to use any framework without understanding how css works?

Yes, in short thats what frameworks are supposed to do.
You know how to use an iPhone yes, you understand how it works to some degree for everyday use.
But do you understand the technicality of how the operating system (ios) works? boot configs? memory swap and management? processor threads etc, kernel configs etc.... hell no! You dont even need to know that to use the phone.
In short, frameworks are meant to be declarative and not imperative.
