Interesting. 404 Pages are a pain in the ass to build!
- bgnm2000 14y agoExactly, the idea is with a simple script tag, you can set it up super fast, and manage it from 404engine
- nicksergeant 14y agoThey are? They're just like any other web page...
- bgnm2000 14y agoIts not that they're difficult - its that they're time consuming and delay shipping features.
- nicksergeant 14y agoI disagree wholeheartedly. I've built web apps for the better part of 10 years, and I've never once thought "man this 404 page is a pain in the ass". 1. Create file 2. Write "404: Page not found" 3. Launch 4. Make your 404 page not suck ("Go home, search, etc")
- bgnm2000 14y agoSo I've also been building web apps for 10+ years, and I forgot to put one on my site - for creating error pages. People are different, I'm obviously trying to solve a problem that affects me, but maybe not you.
- nicksergeant 14y agoFair enough.
- ceejayoz 14y agoMost frameworks come with one by default. Your site's using what looks like the default Rails one, for example.
- bgnm2000 14y agoYup, oh the shame
