I usually don't post such things, but the Flat Earth Society just replied to @iamdevloper on Twitter!
What a legend haha

I love Asus Products but who thought it would be a good idea to have the POWER BUTTON right above the DAMN DELETE KEY!?!?!?!!?
I often press the FUCKING POWER BUTTON accidentally... GOD DAMMIT...

Making a game with my friend. He drew shitty images (sprites) and I made a shitty game. We had so much fun!4

THEY DID IT!!!! THEY FINALLY DID IT!!!!
GITHUB FINALLY ADDED THIS FUCKING BUTTON!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING 😱😱😱😱

My boss's name is Skayo.
He's the best and the worst boss at the same time!
He does let me play video games during work hours, but he doesn't pay me :(
Also when I'm really unproductive, he doesn't even try to motivate me to do some actual work... It may not sound like it, but it sucks.
On the other side, I can just choose which project I'll be working on, which gives me a bit of freedom!
No coworkers tho...4 -
1. Have idea
2. Write down features that thing should have
3. Make a wireframe design
4. Write down possible names for it
5. Open GitHub-Repo
6. Never start coding it
7. Cry5 -
Well... There is an App called 'Tinker' where you can create games and stuff with a Scratch-like programming language.
One day I made a really simple 3D Rendering Engine and as a demo a rotating cube.
Then I published it.
The Tinker-Community consists of mostly little children and therefore they were really impressed :D
The project is now in the top 10 of the most viewed projects!
(There are thousands of other projects on Tinker.)
Yeah... I felt like an badass...3 -
@dfox @trogus How about ++ milestones?
F.e.:
404 ++'s: “Error 404“
255 ++'s: “256 Bytes“
69 ++'s: (Well you know...)
And so on... (be creative)20 -
In IT-Class:
Random: Ey watcha doin?
Me: Programming. What else?
Random: Oh, you're such a nerd...
Me: Programming is fun! I really like it.
Random: Please don't say this is your hobby...
Me: It is.
Random: Bruuh... *goes away*
Why the fuck are you here, if you're not interested in programming???
I don't understand such people.13 -
Me and myself have worked on so many projects together but somehow we never really finished any of them...10

I hate it when people say they want to "GET a new girlfriend"...
Shouldn't it be "FIND a new girlfriend"?
I mean you can't just go into the supermarket and get some butter, milk and a new girlfriend. You can't buy them. By saying that, you seem to me as if you're treating women as objects. I know it's technically possible to buy a girlfriend, but that's prostitution.
I think that "GET a new girlfriend" just doesn't sound right...
Your opinions?38 -
Status update after my first day of my internship:
I realized I know literally nothing about SSH Keys.
Bye.7 -
Some Romanian "Hacker" is trying to hack my forum xD
He tried to call the setup script for PhpMyAdmin, but I don't even have PhpMyAdmin installed because I use MongoDB xDDD
I'm lying on the floor laughing

Got annoyed by the super bright default theme of the Arduino IDE. Decided to make a dark theme for it! Turned out pretty well!
Unfortunately there is no official way of themeing right now, therefore I had to edit some files in the program's directory, which was a pain in the ass to do... (and kinda scary)
I tried to adapt the Material Theme in Sublime Text btw.
Here's a comparison:

If found a Website with a nice Guestbook. Funny thing: HTML-Code and JavaScript-Code in the message was not getting escaped. So I wrote a little JS-Script wich alerts “Nope“ and the then redirects to pornhub.com after page load.
After about 2 WEEKS of funny redirecting, they updated their site and HTML-Code is now getting escaped.10 -
React-Redux's connect() function inspired me to create the coolest way to add numbers in JS:
<script>
function add(num) {
return function(otherNum) {
return num + otherNum
};
};
console.log( add(2)(3) ); // Outputs 5
</script>
I didn't know you could do that. Just found it out!12 -
Today I ran a Killer-Batch-Script on a School-PC.
After I run it, the PC instantly started to lag af and stopped working.
So after about 1 minute, I force-shutdown'd the PC.
But when I restarted it, it didn't boot.
(Boot-Disk was somehow not found)
I quickly stood up, went to another PC and pretended like nothing happened...
Never (NEVER) do that with you own PC.
Here's the script if you are interested:

So this guy starts a Kickstarter campaign to collect 50$ for his chicken nugget calculator app...
He wants 50$ to get a playstore license which costs 25$? (I think)
And then to make the app probably takes not even an hour.
I hope this is a joke haha

When the purpose of your app starts with a "C" then just replace it with a "K" and tada: You have a cool new hipster name for it!
Example:
Collaborate -> Kollaborate
How cool is that?!!18 -
Have to get up at 4am.
I go to bed at 22pm.
Body doesn't want to sleep until 2am....
I love my body! <39 -
There are two types of people on DevRant:
Those who add tags
and
those who give a fuck about them.3 -
Checked the GitKraken save files for fun (kind of a hobby) and oh well.... what a wonder:
They store your fucking GitHub access token in "plain text" in a hex file as you can see in the image.
I checked the token and it works. Wow.
Good job GitKraken ✔
That happens when you're closed source...

Want to get kicked out of Starbucks and have a good laugh along with it? https://github.com/filthycoding/...
I was bored.
Also thanks @Skayo for starring this repo early even tho it had no content9 -
I always wanted to have comments in JSON files, but I just discovered a really good alternative:
{
"//": "This is a comment",
"somekey": "somevalue"
}
Looks kinda ugly but it works! No need for special unconventional parsers and shit.29 -
So yesterday I posted that no one here in the company listens to music while working, and today suddenly half of the people wear big ass headphones xD
I have the feeling they read my devRant help4 -
Multi-billion dollar company - don't write fucking changelogs
At least write "Fixed some fucking bugs" or something...
Is it that hard?
13 -
"Eww that is not Dev-related!"
Shut the fuck up. For me, devRant is a social media for developers and not a social media about only dev-related shit.
"devRant is a fun community for developers to share and bond over their successes and frustrations with code, tech, and life as a programmer!"
You see?
"for developers"
"about code, tech and *life*"
For fucks sake... Stop crying around and just dislike it if you don't want it.7 -
Can't tell what my most successful project is...
But according to GitHub Stars, my
most successful project is my RandomQuote Bot (@RandomQuote).
The story behind it is pretty boring:
One day little Skayo thought: "Hey there is no bot on DevRant yet, let's make one!".
Then he began to think: "But what should it do? What would be easy to do for an inexperienced programmer like me?".
Suddenly he got an idea: A Bot that posts a random quote everyday!
Yay!
He instantly started making it.
About a day later, it was finished.
"Let's bring this thing to live", he thought.
And there he was, quickly getting a lot of fucking ++'s...
This bot is like my first born child! I am so proud of him!
And that's the story behind the bot.
Very spectacular, isn't it?4 -
Holy fuck this new GitHub feature is amazing!!!
It's called GitHub Actions and you can easy automate your work flow using a simple graphical editor!
I need to test this out right fucking now!4 -
Hey all! It's a me, Skayo, you might know me from the very early years of devRant, my highlight bot, my random quote bot, the devRant-Community on GitHub or any of the dumb rants and things that I've posted during my time.
Since I'm currently doing a cleanup of my old GitHub repos and this platform is still somewhat active, I have decided to pass on or publish all my projects and things I've created for this community back in the days.
Firstly, I have just published and transferred the source codes for the @highlight bot, the @RandomQuote bot, the @here bot, and some weird bot framework to the devRant-Community GitHub organization (https://github.com/devRant-Communit...).
Feel free to check them out if you've ever wondered what awful, awful code was running in the background all these years!
Secondly, I am offering any of the following to anyone who's interested:
- Ownership of the "devRant-Community" organization on GitHub (https://github.com/devRant-Communit...)
- Credentials for the @RandomQuote devRant user
- Credentials for the @highlight devRant user
- Credentials for the @here devRant user
- Credentials for the @devNews devRant user
- Ownership of the "devNews" Discord server
- Ownership of the "Community Programming Book" Discord server
- Anything else that I've forgotten about, maybe check the comments
If you're interested, message me on Discord "@skayodev" or anywhere else I am active under that alias (f.e. Telegram).
I might do a little background check to prevent abuse and I AM NOT SELLING THEM, just giving them away.
Thank you devRant for all the fun we had together and for introducing me to some of my current best friends :)
A thank you especially to @dfox and @trogus, who have created this amazing platform! (and sorry for all of the bullshit I did back then lol)
I wish you all the best <3

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Uploaded everything to GitHub now.
Here is a link to the site:
https://devrant-stats.github.io
Not much features yet...
Oh and by the way:
The site is made for DevRant++ Members!
I will update it when I found a fast way to get a list of all devRant Users.
But for now it's only available (or interesting) for devRant++ Members.15 -
"Shit, redefined."
"Shit, reinvented"
"One shit to rule them all!"
"A new era of bullshit"
"The world's 1st portable pile of shit!"
-> Typical Kickstarter slogans...
Seriously I found at least five campaigns using them! Wtf how uncreative can you be!?5 -
First time in years that I've hugged my best friend. Felt weird and we got really confused looks from the others (class full of boys n shit), but we were so happy because we both got a really good grade on an important test!
Why isn't this a common things men do!? We should all hug more 🤗15 -
It's finally here!
I love this little thing!
Let's see what I'll do with it... I planned on making some games but for now I will probably just use it for playing old retro stuff

The avatars items can be updated via the secret api, without an app update
@JS96 seems to be the only person who knows this api (3rd party) since there is a black raven in UWP avatar editor.
@Skayo searching for the api...
@Floydian thanking @trogus
@dfox staying quiet
devRant being an avatar fam.

Definitely Godot Engine. One of the greatest and easiest Game Engines I have ever used! Lots of great features and there are getting more and more!
The inbuilt programming language GDScript is really awesome too! It's a custom language built extra for the Engine, which makes it super easy to use and integrate! The syntax is a bit like python but better.
Because it's not as old as unity or unreal engine, it's not as feature rich. But I think that's okay. It allows you to get used to the current existing features, and then heading on to the new ones.
What I really enjoy is that, just as in this community, you can just talk with the creators of the engine. Asking questions, suggesting features and discussing things! They'll answer nearly everything!
Not to mention the graphics! They are really good and are nearly able to compete against Unity!
There's also a visual language you can use. Just like Unreal Engine Blueprints! Never tried it tho...
The scenes system is very easy to understand. You basically have a lot of "components" which you can use in each of your scenes. This also allows for making simple extensions!
All in all, a great engine! If you are a game developer I can definitely recommend trying it out!2 -
Some of you may have noticed:
I was working on a new devRant bot recently.
But this time it doesn't just post a boring random quote everyday, like my @RandomQuote Bot.
This time it actually reacts to the user!
Basically the bot uses https://carbon.now.sh to generate nice little syntax highlighted code.
I just thought this could be handy in some occasions here on devRant.
Especially in the "Questions" category!
Here's the link to the introduction of the bot:
https://devrant.com/rants/2178718
A lot of work went into this bot, so it would be great to hear what you think about it and if you're planning on using it!
Thanks for reading!98 -
@dfox @trogus How about a !rant option to automatically inform users that the rant isn't really a rant?7

First time ever I convinced someone to join devRant!!
He's another intern in this company!
Welcome onboard, @kosimst!7 -
All these people hearing music in the train or somewhere else... It's fucking annoying! Even with headphones! You can hear through!
We don't want to hear your shitty music. Fuck off!6 -
Today in programming class someone said "Nobody understands that shit"... And I'm sitting here with my nearly 4 years of experience in programming... :(3

So, I have this little USB Stick with a Kali Linux Partition on it which I use for school. (I boot up from the USB instead of the installed windows, so I have all my personal data everywhere I go)
But somehow I forgot the USB in class last week... 😭
Today I'll ask the teacher if he found anything. Wish me luck!5 -
Need help with creating an awesome-list for devRant!
If you have any devRant-related projects, please add them!31 -
Why use Vue.js, Angular or React when you have jQuery???
No, seriously I just finished 4 Javascript Projects without any front-end framework.13 -
Just found out about Yue, a GUI library for Node.js, Lua and C++ (and owners of the "gui" package on npm).
It is so awesome! The RAM usage is so low compared to Electron! Of course it has its limitations and doesn't use HTML + CSS + JavaScript, but you can still build really good applications with it!
I'll show you what I'm making at the moment soon, so stay tuned!
Anyways I've built the same application in Electron and Yue, here's the comparison of the RAM usage:

Oi mates!
Little #ad (Not annoying don't worry - it's a cool project)
Just wanted to let y'all know about the awesome project from the Stanford University named Folding@Home!
Basically you donate CPU/GPU power and they use it for researching cancer/alzheimer's/etc.
All you need to do is install some software on your server/computer.
Then the software downloads so called "Work Units" (no big bandwidth required - really small packets) and simulates/calculates some stuff. Afterwards the client send the results back to their server.
This way they are able to create a "supercomputer" that is spread all over the world.
You don't need to pay anything except maybe some increased electricity bills (but you change some settings to use only a little part of the CPU/GPU and therefore create less heat).
Of course the program only uses the CPU/GPU power that's not required by any other software on the computer. I can literally play games while the client is running. No performance decrease.
That's a short intro by me. I can suggest you to visit their website and maybe even start folding by yourself!
> https://foldingathome.com
Also @cr78, @kescherRant and me are in a team together. If you want to join our team as well just use our Team ID:
235222
Teams?
Yup, there's this little stats site (https://stats.foldingathome.com) where all teams can compete against each other. Nothing big.
I hope I convinced atleast some of you!
Feel free to ask questions in the comments!
See ya.11 -

If you like to hear music on YouTube, I can recommend you Headset (https://headsetapp.co), a nice little music player for the desktop, that streams directly off YouTube!
I've been using it for a year and it's really useful for while coding. Especially the ability to use the keyboard media keys!
Also there's a German translation since yesterday! (Done by me :D)11 -
In PHP, this:
<?php
if($a < $b) {
$c = 'W';
} elseif($a > $b) {
$c = 'E';
} else {
$c = ' ';
}
?>
Does the same as this:
<?php
$c = ' WE'[$c<=>$a];
?>
How cool is that?!? xD14 -
Recently started watching Silicon valley and I'm already in love with it!
Too bad it's not on Netflix and I have to watch it... you know... somewhere else.6 -
New Avatar item and no update? Are the items in the avatar builder fetched from the api? Would be an interesting endpoint for my api docs.
Will do research.13 -
Fucking Square Enix Website is just a huge pile of shit. NOTHING WORKS!
Wanna change your password? Nah sorry an error occured.
Wanna change your username? Nah sorry I'll just show you a loading symbol forever.
Wanna add a game to your collection? Nah sorry the "add" button is on fucking holiday and doesn't do anything.
Wanna change your avatar? Nah sorry I'll just redirect you and don't do anything.
Most amazing part is where you log in, then get redirected to the home page but it still shows the "Log in" button. Then you click on that "Log In" button and wosh! Home page reloads and tada! You're logged in!
Seriously who let this code into production? Also I know that you're using GraphQL now, due to an error message. Thank you!
Fucking bullshit...6 -
What if devRant was created by the NSA to make paranoid devs feel more comfortable and share some private information they wouldn't share on other social media?
🤔11 -
Using Markdown since 2 years and I didn't know that you can add 2 spaces at the end of a line to force a line break....
I've always added <br> or hit enter twice to do that. Wow6 -
So I installed Avast because I was downloading some torrents.
After months I suddenly hear a really loud "*ping* *ping* *ping* Eine Bedrohung wurde gefunden". I nearly got a heart attack. I thought I've got a fucking maleware shitty fuck thing, but I had no idea how I could find out where the fuck it was coming from. So I ignored it.
Then, weeks later again: "*ping* *ping* *ping* Eine Bedrohung wurde gefunden", while I was browsing the web.
I thought it was coming from a website so I looked through every tab and window. But nothing.
So I googled the exact sentence it said, and voila:
The first result was from the avast support site.
I opened avast and looked into the settings. There! A checkbox to turn it off! These fucking cock suckers enabled it by default!
It was the first time I enjoyed clicking a fucking checkbox. FUCK YOU AVAST!!!
Why is AntiVirus Software so shitty these days... I'll probably just switch to Windows Defender.9 -
Except my class being full of fucking idiots (see another rant...) I wouldn't change nothing.
Pretty happy right now!2 -
Currently using Matomo instead of Google Analytics.
Definitely a good alternative!
Especially if you don't want a big company to track YOUR users.5 -
Working on future projections for the DevRant-Stats Site.
According to the calculations, I have 10000++ in 3 fucking years...
:/11 -
Currently creating a little 3D Soft Engine.
Very happy with my current state!
Here is a little demo:
9 -
Finally Godot Engine 3.0 is out!
Wohoo!
I already have a little game in mind that I want to build after my current project.4 -
DevRant-Stats Site Update:
The future projections statistics should now be available for most of the supporters!
Have fun!9 -
Convinced another fellow developer to join devRant:
Welcome @binogure!
He's an indie game developer I met online and I'm helping him to translate his game, "City Game Studio", at the moment.
Check it out! The game is currently in closed beta and it's really awesome!
#ad ;D6 -
What the fuck?
Are vegans that special to need a fucking own dating site??!
Are normal dating sites not good enough for them?
Funny part is that he says there have been some other vegan dating sites before. None of them did it. Of course his will! Because his sites will do ads. And ads means thousands of users!
12 -
@dfox You complained about the mobile version of GitHub, so maybe this could be interesting for you!
7 -
Thinking about creating a tech news account on devRant. A little idea that just came to my mind...
The account will contain all kinds of news! (about the tech industry of course)
So for example when a company acquires another company (IBM > RedHat, Microsoft > GitHub, etc.), a well-known website/app gets new features or a company releases a new smartphone, we will inform you here!
Of course I'd need some help if I wanted to do something like this. Especially from other timezones! (I'm im Austria/Europe)
Write a comment, if you're interested in helping out! The more people, the better!19 -
Woo! I've finally bought https://skayo.dev !
Now I have to change the domain everywhere its used..... oof.4 -
Making games for my TI-Nspire CX CAS is so much fun!
It's so simple but you can do a lot with it. It's also a bit of a challenge because you don't have a huge API with lots of methods and events. You have to use what you have.
Oh btw you can program it with Lua!15 -
Only company that I really "hate" is Abstergo haha.
All others have their up and downsides I guess....
Microsoft:
+ Xbox One
- Windows
Apple:
+ iPad Mini (don't know any company that produces such high quality but very small tablets... Therefore I still use my ~6 years old iPad Mini 1. (The battery life is insane! After all this time it still lasts about 6-7 hours!)
- The new iPhones. No innovation. Just making money.
Samsung:
+ TVs
- Smartphones (a few crashes here and there, kinda ugly, explosions!)
LG:
+ TVs (webOS is the shit!)
- Heard the Smartphones suck, not sure
And so on....3 -
CSS gradients are so ugly 🤮
I makes the website look like from 2003...
(When used incorrectly)
Why are people doing this?
Poor websites...
When I see sth like this I have the urge to write the creator an email and ask for improving the site...
Do other Web Designers have similar problems? Help...

Sololearn has probably the dumbest community I've ever seen...
I know that there are lot of beginners who just started learning programming, but if you can't even use the app, I don't think they will be able to learn programming.
Also all these little kiddies who want to get some badass hackers but don't even know how to do a fucking course (There are lots of questions like "Where can I learn HTML" while they are right in the fucking app, like holy sheeet).
Sometimes I browse the Q&A just because there so funny and dumb questions. Really amusing!8 -
DevRant-API-Docs Site Update:
QA is in the works. Will try to keep it as simple as possible!
The "all questions" page front end is done. Now there's only the "new question" page and the "view question" page.3 -
So the makers of Sublime Text are working on a GUI Git client now?
It looks really interesting, could be a good alternative to Gitkraken!
Here's the link btw: https://www.sublimemerge.com
What I would really like to see is a plugin support! I don't know of any Git Client that has that...
Anyways, I will try it out later and post my opinion here!4 -
Another update on my 3D Software Engine:
Big progress since my last rant.
I now have a simple lightning with the Gouraud Shading Algorithm!
Looks really cool now!
Btw for those who are interested, I am following a tutorial but I'm translating everything to Lua/LÖVE2D. Here's the link to the tutorial:

Automatically generating docs from DocBlock comments, then converting the output to markdown AND publishing it all to GitHub Wiki using travis took me two fucking days!
I'm SO happy with the result now!
I even had to fork and update the composer package I'm using!!!
Here's the link to the wiki:
https://github.com/Skayo/slid/wiki7 -
Got inspired by @linuxxx to do an simple URL shortener service.
Turned out to be actually useable!
So here it is: https://srt.clan.rip/
Got the domain for free. That's why it is looking so strange.19 -
Sometimes when I'm sitting in the train, I feel like I'm in a kindergarten...
For real there are so many children here wtf.
Annoying babies screaming, parents playing fucking annoying children songs for their babies on like full volume (Hello WTF!?!) and children that run around in the train.
I fucking hate it...
But the train is completely full so I can't go to any other seat.
Stupid parents...3 -
So you may have noticed that I'm making a way to create devRant Webhooks (see last rant), but now I need you help:
What Webhooks would/could you need?
What does it do?
What additional fields does it need (for example for specific tags)?
What data does it send?
Thanks in advance!14 -
DevRant-API-Docs Site Update:
The overall is now done!
I still have to do the actual docs content but the playground, the Q&A and the links page are pretty done now and only require some little changes.
Here's the link:
https://devrant-docs.github.io/
Have fun!8 -
DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Future projections & Live General Section
Added some future projections like SocialBlade, where you can see your score in the future, according to the stats in the last 30 days. Therefore it will only be available after storing the stats for 30 days.
Also made the complete "General" section live now, and replaced "Live Score" with "Devrant++ Member since".
So now the values are updating every second! (Using EventStream so not working in Edge Browser lol idc)
Have fun!
Feedback is appreciated!23 -
So this is what a test looks like here in my school...
I really like my teacher but his test are... uhh... fucking awful.
I mean the code isn't even indented ffs! Like wtf?!? How should one be able to read this bullshit?
The questions are shitty too.
Also please add line numbers so it is easier to describe how things work in the code.
AND USE FUCKING A4 PAPERS FFS!!!
Thanks,
an experienced student

I'm surprised that nearly no one here in the company listens to music while working. Am I the only one who does this!?!4
-
When I don't have the motivation to work on one of my projects, I just wait, play some games, start a few other projects, and eventually, I start working on it again sometime.
Works most of the time.1 -
We really need a upperline. Why we have a underline, but no upperline? Also, ASCII-Art would look much better.2
-
I have the urge write my own javascript framework for my personal projects.
But I think it's harder than I think 😬
Probably should start with a PHP one. Much simpler.
Already have my own DB Lib is use a lot. Good start.6 -
DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Made some changes.
After a long time with no updates, I decided to finish up my DevRant-Stats Project and do all of my Todos.
First, I added a way to request adding a user if he is not found. (Just search for your name, wait, then click "OK")
So even non-DevRant++ are now able to see their stats.
I also added @dfox and @trogus, though there is not a lot of interesting data yet...
Second, I added a "Details" section and changed the "Other" section a bit. For example I'm using an image for "Latest Rant" and other stuff.
Link: https://devrant-stats.github.io/
Just check it out!
Have fun!

@skayo are you still around?
I have wish 😊
Could you please make a devRant Bot for answering to newbies?
Like... rookie: "halp i want to learn JavaScript, what should i do?"
heyheni: @ newbiebot js
newbiebot: Hi @ rookie welcome to dev Rant. The community for developers to rant and vent. Here are some free JavaScript learning resources
- freecodecamp
- scrimba
- JavaScript 30
...
Best of luck!
rookie: but i want to do android apps to!
heyheni: @newbiebot android
Newbiebot: hi welcome...
what do you think?10 -
Because everyone else is ranting about this too:
I'm not afraid of Microsoft wanting to monetize everything or that they will restrict site access to Microsoft Edge only. What I am afraid of is that they change the privacy policy.
Who knows what they are up to?
I hope GitHub is awesome enough to decline the offer.... Let's see.13 -
We need help choosing a title for the devRant Community Programming Book.
The book is still needs a lot of work to do but you can already get an overview of the kind of content it will contain.
Please vote here:
https://github.com/devRant-Squad/...
If you have more suggestions, add them here:
https://github.com/devRant-Squad/...
Btw we are still searching for writers! If you have a programming language you love and know a lot about, you can come to this discord server and ask:
https://discord.gg/4AThF887 -
Really excited about Google Chat/RCS.
My mobile provider is probably the first one to support it in Austria!8 -
Is it possible to train a neural network to detect devRant avatars? Could be an interesting project...
Hm. Maybe later.5 -
Holy fuck... Ruby has the best fucking syntax ever!
Ruby is so awesome!!!! (But Lua is a bit better)9 -
If you like PHP in the back-end, you're gonna LOOOVE it in the front-end!
Hahaha guys look what I've just found:

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
A little Christmas Present for you!
-> Graphs!
Added two Graphs now to view the stats of the last 30 days.
Unfortunately the system is running since yesterday and there is not much data...
Little tip:
If you click on the labels above the graph you can disable them!7 -
allUpperCase = true
for char in rant.message:
if !isUpperCase(char):
allUpperCase = false
if allUpperCase:
rant.category = "rant"
else:
rant.category = "!rant"6 -
I fell in love with CodeIgniter...
It's just a so simple but powerful and feature-rich PHP-Framework.
I like prefer CodeIgniter over Laravel!15 -
I really want to build a raspberry pi cluster but I don't know what to do with it...
Has anyone of you ever built a raspi cluster?
What could I do with it?9 -
There is a Codingame Level wich took me a whole fucking day. I was soo happy when all those test cases passed!
-
You guys heard of the MEAN Stack?
I'm currently learning it...
It is basically the combination of MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS and Node.js7 -
That great feeling you get when your teacher asks you some things about RegEx and you know fucking everything!2
-
Fuck yeah!
Had my first job interview ever today!
Not gonna say it was very good but it definitely wasn't the worst!
Let's see if I get a happy reply!2 -
My goal for 2019 is to finally get into game development and release my first game on itch.io!
Also I want to finish a few side-projects, as always...1 -
I think one of the hardest part while making an RPG game is setting the prices of the shop items and determining the rewards you get from quests.
Really struggling right now...8 -
I'm currently working on a little DevRant-Stats site.
Homepage looking good so far (in my opinion)
Now working on some other sites...
I'll keep you updated.3 -
Soooo....
I just found out that the devRant WebApp has a fucking dark theme...
After using the light theme for so god damn long...
Can I have my healthy eyes back?1 -
Just found out that MQTT.fx stores user credentials in plain text in a xml file.
WTF?!
I mean it's only stored locally but it's still a bit worrying.2 -
How about a Git for Databases?
Do your changes, delete things, create things, and then when you are sure push these changes to your server.
If you did something wrong like accidentally delete fucking everything, just revert and everything is like before again.
Also you can view history and blame people for doing something wrong.
Tell me what you think about this. Not clue how you could implement this tho... Also I have enough to do already so feel free to take this idea!10 -
Just discovered Roccat Power-Grid!
It's so awesome and useful!
Mapped all Makros I use while programming to it.
I also have some CPU/RAM info and media buttons (play/pause/next/...).
You can even add website buttons. For example for Github or Stackoverflow!
Not sure if it's faster to use it but it's way cooler :)
Check it out!
Just search for it on Google/DuckDuckGo. -
DevRant-API-Docs Site Update:
Finished Auth System.
The Authentication System should be ready now. You can login/register and create questions/answers!
So the Q&A Section is fully functional now!
Please note that there may be bugs!
If you find one, please report it here:
https://github.com/DevRant-Docs/...
Have fun!7 -
My second job interview ever tomorrow.
Btw the other company from a month ago didn't take me. Was too good for them...
Maybe I will be able to improve some things from last time!
Wish me luck!7 -
I think what we need is a bot that scrapes user information from Facebook. That way we could show people that not only Facebook, but everyone can earn a lot of info about someone.
All these people starting to hate and blame Facebook for it's issues...
And no one realizes that it could be their fault.
If everyone shares so much info about their lives, it's very presumably, that Facebook knows a lot about you.1 -
Im think about buying the devRant zipper hoodie, but 40$ is pretty much...
I'll wait until I finished renovating my room.2 -
I really like the way Nuxt.js handles routes so I implemented it in PHP with some additional features. Will release soon!
(Basically as a own microframework)1 -
I remember that my granddad and I built a computer with old crappy hardware that we disassembled from other computers.
I mostly used it for playing games like Age of Empires or Rollercoaster Tycoon.
I really don't remember a lot about but I remember I also had internet. Never got any Malware tho haha.
Then sometime my friend came over and he showed me a website named "Scratch". We made a lot of crappy games and a cat that farts when you press a button.
So yeah I instantly fell in love and did a lot of "Scratch"-ing with my brother.
That's was the time I found my love for programming.
I think about 2 years later I got a MacBook (the old from my father) and finally started with real programming!
Now, after 6 years I have an awesome little ZenBook and am programming everyday.
Love it! -
I made my first volume control!
The volume is controlled depending on how much devices are connected to my NodeMCU. (So it's pretty expensive)

DevRant-API-Docs Site Update:
Started with the back-end for the Q&A yesterday.
You can see it here:

Finally managed to flash Linux on my 250GB SSD with Linux! (After breaking it several times...)
Now I have a question to people that have a Linux/Windows Dual-boot:
What do you use Linux for, and what do you use windows for?
Really unsure how I should use the disk... Had an 16GB USB for school until now. (Lost it tho)
I plan to use it for school as well but I'm kinda afraid of losing it. (Was expensive)
Therefore I tend to just use it at home.26 -
Fucking pimatic.... I'm not fucking able to send just raw 433MHz signals like in pilight. Now I have to use the fucking shell-execute plugin to communicate with pilight to send the correct codes to my RF Sockets.
(Btw the pimatic-pilight plugin is deprecated so I'm not able to use it)
Fuck. But. Hey. It. Works. -
DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Added a minified version of devBanner now. Might not be interesting to use for everybody, but it was fun to implement!
Also check out CozyPlanes, the creator of devBanner!
Have fun!10 -
DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Fullscreen Score View
You can click on the button on the top right of the user's score to view it fullscreen.
(Live of course)
Useful for celebration or screenshots.
Have fun!6 -
Creating an secure authentication system is not that easy...
Especially if you create it for a community full of devs.
But I think I've found a secure solution.
Maybe some security experts on here could review the code after I'm finished.
Here's the GitHub repo but the auth system is not up yet:
https://github.com/DevRant-Docs/... -
Well, I have only one:
When programming an Arduino, unplug the power cable. I nearly burned my Arduino Uno once...1 -
Having too much creativity is annoying as fuck.
I just laughed out of nowhere in the train. Thought of a funny story I made up.
But maybe my creativity will lead me to something big sometime... Who knows?7 -
Decentralized, block chain based Bitcoin Trading Software!
I just love it!
No for real now, I'm very excited about WebAssembly and the benefits of it! Can't wait to see games running on it!2 -
Everything startest with HTML. I got an awesome book about HTML/CSS and I just started learning and trying out some stuff. At the beginning I got a lot of help from my father but soon I created my own websites! I setup a free webserver and after some time, I met PHP. I made tons of stuff with PHP :)
After about 1 year of creating things with PHP, I learned Javascript. And with Javascript I got into game development. I created some games but I wanted more. So I tried Unity Engine. But... well... It was hard. Then I tried Godot Engine and I finally found a game engine wich I enjoy!
I created a lot of games.
Then in 2016 I met Lua, wich is my favourite language now! (But I didn't do much with it)
Later I also met Node.js but I'm still learning :)1 -
It's fucking hard to find software names... I hate it. I feel like ever fucking name you can think of is already taken.
How do you guys find names for your software?5 -
Well not actually a "loss" but in my previous class, a year ago, I've lost one of my USB-Sticks.
And suddenly, a year later, some random teacher got into class and asked for my name, then gave me my USB-Stick back! After one year!
I didn't remember the stick in the first place but then I realized it was the one I've lost!
Btw it was a 2GB one, with just a few files on it... -
Best/Worst dev experience 2017:
Well I started my DevRant-Stats site and got my RandomQuote bot up and running again (although the quotes aren't as good as before)
I also started a little company with my friend and made some sites for clients.
I reached #13 on Sololearn in Austria! Kinda proud of it.
I learned Lua and Ruby which are one my favorite languages now!
And as always I started some side projects that I've never finished...
Don't remember everything I experienced in 2017 but these are some I won't forget.2 -
It's amazing that SocialBlade is still not mobile responsive...
Are there even any developers working there?
Not anyone who tells them to make the site responsive?
Can someone explain? -
- Bug-Report -
Description:
If you go to the comments section on your profile and click on an comment you made to a collab, devRant will load it as a normal rant instead of a collab and, therefore, nothing is shown.
Device Details:
- Device: Phone
- Android Version: 6.0
devRant Version:
1.9.0.3
Steps to reproduce:
- Write a comment to a collab
- Go to Profile -> Comments
- Click on that comment
- It will load it as a normal rant (See image)
Actual behaviour:
Show as normal rant
Expected behaviour:
Show as collab
I hope you can reproduce...
@dfox, @trogus8 -
I'm thinking about creating a central login system for all my websites, where you get redirected to and then login/sign up and then be redirect back. A bit like oAuth.
I have a few websites (and more in development) that use a login system, so that could be really useful to have... Especially because all of them are built from scratch and have their pros and cons. And security wise it's easier to concentrate on one system instead of all of them.
Another benefit is that you save some DB space, if you have lots of users!
And of course the users benefit from it as they'll be able to use all my websites with a single account.
What do you think about it?
I'll still need to do a bit of research on security but other than that, I only see benefits!2 -
Obligatory repost of @Skayo 's and @frogstair 's revamped API docs.
Thanks to our lords and saviours.

Just created my own publish-subscribe-based IoT protocol for the NodeMCU. It's like a simplified version of MQTT and pretty error-rich. (So it shouldn't be used in important cases). But the cool thing is that you can use a simple NodeMCU to host a server and don't need to set up a Mosquitto Server on a Linux Machine.
Will release on GitHub soon!
Also made an example Client in PHP!4 -
Uuuhhh...
- NodeAgent
- Shopixl
- Elidea
- Electriot
- Cronjabr
- 3D-Maze game
- SmartRoom
and much more... -
Never saw any collab since the update where they removed the tab...
I thought collabs are there to find collaborators. How should one find collaborators when no one sees your collab?8 -
First time I use Travis CI today :D
(And my first build error ever...)
In combination with Nuxt.js it is so fucking useful for Vue Development. Wow!
I think I've found my new favourite JS Framework.
Had a bit of trouble with Github Pages but I just created a 'source' branch with the source code and a 'master' branch with the deployed site. The reason is that organization sites can only be published from 'master' branch for some reason...
Anyways Travis CI is very useful!3 -
Can somebody recommend me a good domain hoster?
I'm currently at Dynadot but unfortunately the .me domain I want costs 9.00$, I saw some other cheaper hosts so I thought I'd ask for your recommendations.
Thanks in advance!5 -
If somebody needs a project idea how about a really dumb JS Framework that allows you do basic DOM Manipulation, just like jQuery, directly in the elements class attribute.
For example this is how a document could look like:
<body class="init-hide-id-otherElement">
<button class="onclick-show-id-otherElement">
<h1 id="otherElement">Hello</h2>
</body>
What this does is first, at the body's init-* class, it hides the element with id otherElement at page load. Then, when you click the button, the element with id otherElement gets shown. Instead of *-id-* you could also use *-class-* which selects a class.
Basically the syntax is:
<event>-<action>-<id/class>-<the elements id/class>
Of course this has a lot of limitations, for example the selectors are very limited, but it would still be very cool!3 -
I fell in love with the “Limonade“ PHP-Framework recently. It's a really cute, little and easy framework. I have so much fun creating Web-Apps and Websites with it!
You guys, should check it out!2 -
If someone owns a OnePlus 5 I would be very pleased if you could try to reproduce this issue here:
https://github.com/devRant/devRant/...
Thanks a lot!6 -
It's funny that I already do the <@user> when mentioning someone automatically.
If some still don't understand why tf I do that:
If find the typical one liner mentions too ugly. I just thought I'd be more nerdy and do the HTML <> thingys.
- Example -
Normal:
```
@user yes!
```
Mine:
```
<@user>
Yes!
```
Much more beautiful!!! :)
(Just as myself)3 -
First version of the devRant-Webhooks Front-End is up!
You can access it here: https://devrant-webhooks.clan.rip/
Would be nice if some of you could test it out, look for security leaks and generally give feedback!
Next Part is the actual core of devRant-Webhooks, which listens to events and executes the webhooks.
Greetings!14 -
Any NodeMCU owners, using ESPlorer, here? I am thinking about rebuilding it completely with a better UI/UX and adding a C++ language support.
What do you think about it? Any suggestions or features you want?
If you are very interested in this project:
https://github.com/Skayo/NodeAgent4 -
Can someone suggest me a good monitor for programming and gaming? I have a really old one right now and need an upgrade.2
-
Everything.
I just want know as much as I can.
I started with Web-Development in front-end, continued with back-end and then headed over to game-development. I'm just doing things, that interest me. My next dev area probably will be application-development.
I love being student! (but I know that, when I'm older, I have to decide...) -
Not a job but some years ago I have set up a boot password, I don't even remember, on 2 school computers...
Just for fun...
They didn't catch me though :)1 -
@Skayo have made bots like @RandomQuote and @highlight
I don't know how many bots are here on DevRant
Can anyone tell me which API, DevRant is providing to them4
