Yes for the tech stack I use, you need

[raven merlin]

Which tech stack?

[uneven holly]

For backend, convex, and clerk

[uneven holly]

Convex does database clerk does payment and authentication

[raven merlin]

You are putting out bad advice

[uneven holly]

Ok explain

[raven merlin]

I don't need to. You're the one claiming backend is easy etc.

It's misleading people

[uneven holly]

It mostly depends on what you want to do, but if you want something fast and easy I would use that

[raven merlin]

Using DBMS or a CMS and ai then getting your site hacked doesn't make it easy

[uneven holly]

Who mentioned ai ?

When

[raven merlin]

Well how else would someone be able to get any of this to work if the client requested a custom feature and you don't know anything?

[uneven holly]

Bro i never mentioned ai ?

[raven merlin]

Sure forget ai then, that would make it even harder if someone doesn't know much

[uneven holly]

What could be custom about authentication and databese ? And even if they wanted custom its still do able ?

[tidal isle]

sorry for being nosey but coming from a comp-sci student i don't feel like you Joel had experience coding a real product

if you think it is just copy and paste then it is worrying

[uneven holly]

Why tf are they using ai to code in the first place, using ai isn't bad, it can debug, makes your life easier

[raven merlin]

Add discord Auth if they don't want Google Auth, uuids instead of IDs, maybe they want email instead of Google or vice versa, analytics on certain fields. List goes on

[uneven holly]

If it doesn't work for the tech stack or I have to write the code, then so be it, like I said it depends on what you want to do but generally if its nothing crazy this one does the job, you don't have to use it everyone has their preferences

[raven merlin]

CMSs can speed you up, agreed, but that doesn't make backend easy and the moment a client requests something custom you're going to be screwed

[uneven holly]

Like i said, it depends on what you are doing ?

But for nothing crazy

[raven merlin]

Can I see a site you've built for a client?

[uneven holly]

Never for a client, still a student

I dont plan to do a job focused on backend as I want to do web design with a lil bit of sprinkle on it but for easy backend stuff this one does the job

If they want a whole custom stuff so be it, again for probably the 4th time

IT DEOENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE DOING

so for peoole doing stuff like i am, I would recommend it to them

Like if you are required to develop a website a lil bit more complicated it wont hurt to know this

[raven merlin]

My takeaway is designers will do anything but network with an actual dev

[uneven holly]

🤷‍♂️

[uneven holly]

What's your experience being a software engineer, I have no freinds regarding development or design 🥀

[raven merlin]

I have done freelancing, I work at a startup and I'm a contributor to CMS software figma bought

[uneven holly]

How is the startup doing

[raven merlin]

There is some truth to what you're saying, that's the point of a CMS but personally I think someone will walk into a trap if they think they can rely on it. Backend is not easy but that's just my experience.

Good we will be releasing a Shopify app soon

[uneven holly]

We all have different views, idk wym by someone will walk in a trap so

[uneven holly]

Wait, an app from shop if or a replica of shopify

[raven merlin]

An app for Shopify

So Shopify customers can use our software easily

[uneven holly]

I myself plan to make a startup, concerning marketing, one of the greatest tortures of humanity especially for beginners

It mainly focuses on automating cold emails, not the best way to Market, its meant to target freelancers, it wont target the same person multiple times and many other features I am tryna think off

[uneven holly]

What does it do

[raven merlin]

You scan furniture with a phone app, then this gets uploaded and you can configure it e.g. change colour etc, then show 3d furniture on your website

[uneven holly]

I dont get how that concerns shopify but seems cool

[raven merlin]

I can't explain/show everything yet. When it's released I can

As for a startup, I think it's a good idea but might take working at a company to increase chance of success

[uneven holly]

Expecting it

[uneven holly]

What's your thoughts on my idea ?

[raven merlin]

I'd be scared it would get my domain banned but in theory it's good

[uneven holly]

Idk about domain banned

There just has to be some legal sides to it

As some peoole could abuse it

And there has to be some auto moderation (ai) to check whatever your sending is safe

There will be like plans to send 50 mails oer week or 100 mails per week

It has to be a buisness email being used to send it , and some sorth of ypur personal stuff in the email, apparently idk about that part

Im thinking of what ai features, probably also helps you write a mail

You can send follow up mails
