I'm pretty happy with https://hatjitsu.toolforge.org/56180, but behind corporate firewall it doesnt work well, so i thought about self-hosting it.
I'm a complete node.js noob, when i cloned it from github and faced https://github.com/richarcher/Hatjitsu/issues/35 i'm completely lost.
I see several options
fiddle out how to fix the issue above (uh..)
find a similar tool (no account, simple voting, vote visualization & average calculation, free, ...) that either works behind firewall or that i can easily self-host
??
Any advice / help is appreciated,

I’m working with a client that has a website on Wix. Desktop speed on page Speed insights is fine. But mobile I can’t get the performance metrics above 30. I’ve had several programmers look at it and everyone is saying that’s just the way it is on that platform. I’ve got to believe someone knows how to fix this. I’m concerned it is affecting his Ranking. Any thoughts?
I’ve had a couple of programmers look at it, and fix a few things supposedly. But to no avail. I’m not a programmer myself, but I have enough experience and knowledge to know that most other platforms can be sped up. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I’m about to launch a classifieds website like gumtree and OLX in South Africa…., but it’s not gonna be as big as Gumtree or OLX obviously. It’s going to operate in one province…planning to expand it over time.
The site works like a charm on my local machine, but I’m concerned coz I’ve never launched a big website before. Plus, I just graduated from University this year – no work experience. But I’m positive that if Facebook and Twitter were built by students, I too can build my own thing and run it successfully.
Are there any key issues to take into consideration before launching a big website ?
There is probably more to consider but I here are a few
Hire a lawyer and get a terms and conditions for your site with proper legality. You dont want to short yourself on this.
Get a decent backup and restore solution that you test and make sure that it works. Remember if you have paying clients with your site there will be implications for down time.
Get a security certificate https://
Know what you paying with your hosting solution. If your traffic does spike you could be in for a very large bill that you cant afford. And if you dont have scaling your site might run really slow. So get to know your hosting solution really well.
Good luck
Ok so ive been tasked with doing "research" on building an intranet for a potential new client for my company and they want some kind of answer by Monday (like any company, they REALLY want this project).
That said, ive been doing "Reasearch" and have so many tabs/windows open that im going nuts and getting lost since my research doesn't have direction...taking in too much and need assistance.
i have 2 questions after a brief explanation.
Essentially, From my understanding, an Intranet is...well in plain
terms, a website that is offline? has a deeper framework because of
the documents that will be available(i think its for a school)and the
ppl who can access them but can also have access to the internet?
Since its for a school(not sure if its mainly for teachers or teachers
and students ) im assuming alot of documents either way.
aside form being private, throughout my research, ive read alot about file security, firewalls, and...and.. im starting to get overwhelmed.
Me myself, am a web designer/so-so developer. decent knowledge of js/jquery and php/mysql though i feel like im just getting started in the web-developer part. Good knowledge of standards HTML/css, designer tools etc...
That said, these are my questions.
1.What is actually involved in planning to create this? What tools( read CMS if possible ) can i use to create any of this. Like to make this happen what do i actually need, and need to know? what direction should i take. If you can direct me and help me close some of these 30+ links spread across my 3 monitors id owe ya lol.
i can build many things and dont mind giving it a HARD go but, this seems like a HUGE project and, im SURE that if my company takes this job, id be put on it. now i can do some of the parts of this project but not 100% sure im the right person for this. Theyre counting on me for a yes/no answer as to whether i can do it (they know its big and itll take time to accomplish) but so...with my skills posted above, am i the right person to do this? or is this more akin to an ACTUAL tried and true developer?
Thank you for your time and, any tips/links/cms info/ i mean ANYTHING that would make this easier PLEASE dont hesitate to share. i dont mind doing the research but i need direction.
i dont want to tell them "YES i can do it" and in a month or two im on pause stuck and the yes turns into a "no i cant do it"
If you have no experience in setting up networks, then you are probably not the man for the job (unless your client is willing to let you have a shot at it for the experience, on a no-win, no-fee basis). Certainly do not over-promise and under-deliver!
I deal with quite a lot of schools, and I know many of the smaller ones will use the secretary's computer as a server, with a simple Windows home network to place files in a shared directory. Its a cheap and cheerful alternative, within their own skillsets to manage.
You should also check with the govermental department with relevant oversight (Dept. of Education, I'd imagine) to see what guidlines, requirements, and grants, are available or required. There may be a specific recommended route to take here, with made to measure firewall protection provided to you.
Larger schools will have invested in proper servers, with automatic external backups in place. I'm not qualified to give advice on how to set those up however. Hopefully someone else here will :)
Best of luck!
CMS may be included as a Intranet website, but Intranet includes much more than CMS. Your best stragetic is tell your boss find a network system integrator to do this project collaboratively. Intranet involves more networking technology (L2, L3, switching, routing, firewall, wireless, etc etc) and physical instrument (ex. cabling).
I have a small software project with a couple clients. What I'm looking for something with the following abilities:
clients can submit feature requests, bugs, or tasks
clients can see the status of open and closed issues
clients can see a change log
a place for me to post updates or news
Nice to haves:
clients can only see the issues that
they've posted; not other clients'
a hosted solution
So far, the choices seem overwhelming. I've looked at Mantis and Hiveminder. Unfuddle seems pretty close. I've avoided FogBugz for the price (and it seems like overkill) and Trac as I'm trying to avoid hosting something myself. Most of the existing solutions seem to be geared towards a team of developers and not for developer-client relations. Anyone have any recommendations?
I know that you said you'd rejected FogBugz -- but your description makes it sound like this might be a solo development effort. Have you considered the free Student and Startup Edition of Fogbugz?
I ended up going with Mantis. Its per project permissions actually works out pretty well for multiple exclusive clients.
Take a look at uservoice.com and getsatisfaction.com - probably what you need. It's not positioned as bug-tracking, so you won't have complex workflows or permission schemes, I guess, but maybe that's right for a small team.

Are there any tools that go beyond requiring deep and intimate knowledge of every configuration option and nuance and will just setup an application with a minimum of inputs. Something like a wizard that produces the XML configuration based on those simple inputs. I don't care about security I just need the service to work. Ideally the tool would be able to setup IIS6 as well or at least with a given set of options it would produce a list of steps I needed to complete in IIS.
The Microsoft Service Configuration Editor is no better than direct editing of the XMl. I did find a web site that has the right idea but it wasn't able to solve my simple installation. (http://www.noemax.com/support/wcf_binding_configuration_wizard.html).
Is there anything out there that puts some convention into play over this mountain of configuration?
WCF configuration can look very daunting at first, indeed! I like that configuration wizard you linked to - why wasn't it good enough for you?
I don't know of any tool right now, that would solve your problem and help you figure out the proper configuration - it really boils down to learning the ropes and getting to know the ins and outs of it, I'm afraid.
Basically, what I've learned is : don't even start to imagine all the things you could do - try to focus on what you should do (and what you need).
Really, it boils down to about five scenarios as outlined in the excellent book "Programming WCF" by Juval Lowy:
intranet apps (use the NetTcp binding, Windows security)
internet apps (use the wsHttp binding if ever possible, username/pwd or certificates for security)
business-to-business apps (use whatever binding makes sense, secure by certificates)
queue message delivery (MSMQ)
no-security apps (legacy ASMX support, interop with "dumb" webservice clients)
Basically, pick the one you need, and from there, you're pretty much set as to what to do and how to do it. I would definitely recommend checking out Juval's book - excellent excellent resource!
So the question is: which category does your app fit in? Based on that, you can pretty much determine all that's needed from there.
Also, I watched two screencasts that really helped me get over the heaps of configuration options in WCF, and focus on what's really important:
Extreme WCF with Miguel Castro
Demystifying WCF with Keith Elder
Both gave me a good feel for what configuration is really needed - and what is just fluff.
Hope that helps some!
