   If you want to experiment on your own, you can easily spin up a simple LEMP stack with MAMP or XAMPP in a few clicks, and then configure each service to your liking. I don't think there is any business value in maintaining a site th

   An opinion from someone's who been doing web dev since the 90s (and who had to learn Perl and frames before jQuery + Bootstrap): For me the big one is componentization. For example, take a look at https://mui.com/materi

   I don't think this is quite accurate/precise... yes, with the right framework (like Next), React can do some server-side rendering of components. But that's not the same thing as being a true full-stack framework that can han

   If you're already using Azure, they offer Linux stuff too. You can move away from Windows without moving away from Microsoft (if you want to). Or you can find equivalent services on AWS or Gcloud, or more abstracted ones like Vercel or

   If you want to use LEMP, I'd look into at least abstracting the lower parts of the stack (mainly the L and E, maybe the M too) into vendor-supported services. You can use Google App Engine to host the PHP code on managed auto-scaling i

   What exactly will the webapp do? What kind of auth do you need? IMO if you have no production web app experience and you're a solo dev, you shouldn't be rolling your own. There are many footguns along the way, security and perform

   In Next.js you can use middleware to sniff the domain and do something (block or redirect to your own): https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routin... On the frontend you can also use Javascr

   When I've used these products, they seemed to modularize and normalize each part of the pipeline separately. It's never like one "Gmail to JSON integration" and another "Gmail to Airtable integration", but inst

    Instead of embedding, just add a "Feedback" link somewhere that goes to a different page, like Google Forms or Airtable. Or you can put a little feedback icon in the corner that opens a small popup to ask for quick feedback (or be

    Also check (either Google or ask them in person) your city's or county's GIS program. Look for aerials or orthoimagery. Local governments sometimes have more detailed aerials {or just taken from different angles) than Google Earth

    I frequently use city-data.com. It's not beautiful but it's very useful and easy to understand, especially compared to official Census data. Rtings.com uses charts for its reviews, but most it is over my head.

    Maybe it uses the camera for gesture recognition so you can air-write each letter one at a time? Air-quotes will be fun... air-tabs, not so much. "Space, but <widens arms> BIGGER!"

    You just make an account there and add it yourself. Their editor isn't very easy to use though. I tried a few times but always went back to Google Maps because the UX is so difficult.
