I recently purchased railsdevs.com and want to transfer of the site.

Describe the solution you'd like

Visiting railsdevs.com renders the current site. Visiting railsdevs.io or www.railsdevs.io redirects to railsdevs.com.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keeping the .io.

Currently, the Message button is hidden unless you are signed in. Clicking it opens up your email client with the developer's email populated.

Instead, I want to route the click through our servers. That way we can track when an outbound link is clicked and we can authorize the user (instead of showing it / not showing it).

I'd also love to see all external link (GitHub, Twitter, website, etc.) follow this same approach. Once we get it set up for one link it shouldn't be much more effort to extract to others.

The long term goal of this issue is to start charging companies to get in contact with developers.

Everyone who is contributing should make sure they have a profile on the live site.

Add your developer profile and reply with a link below!

railsdevs.com

This might be a good one as there's already thought on SEO. Perhaps profile links shouldn't use developers ID but their name.

I'd be happy to jump on this @joemasilotti.

I've used this fork of sitemap_generator in the past, but am open to newer/better tools!

I'll then set up Google Search Console.

Moderation will probably be needed in the future, but for now this can serve as a first defense.

Users who already have a developer profile can create a new one despite already having a profile. This can create a confusing UX when the following happens:

1. A user mistakenly clicks "Create a profile" thinking they're logged in.
2. Realizing they are not logged in, the user logs in.
3. The log in controller attempts to re-direct the user to their previous location.
4. The user is now on the screen to create a new profile even though they already have one.

In #20 I opted to use a direct-upload approach. active_storage_validations can handle this, but things get a bit complex. On one hand, it's obvious that if the validations fail, it won't attach the image. For instance, the file doesn't become part of the model.

That said, I was still seeing an upload notification in server logs. This begs the question, what's happening? According to the repo, the author of the gem isn't sure either. We probably should do some investigation ourselves in order to determine what we have to do to keep the database clean.

We need to determine how we're going to go about testing the avatar uploads in #20. This breaks down into basically two items.

1. Are we okay with using shoulda matchers? This is the recommended way to test file attachments according to the active_storage_validations gem. I've never personally used them.
2. How do we handle file fixtures? I need to do some investigation to figure this out, but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone else knew.

I'd love a way for developers to show their expected rate or salary, optional of course. One way would be to do ranges; a min and max for each. The other approach is to set an expected target as a single number.

I'd love feedback on this from folks! What would you rather fill out on your developer profile?

The first second (of many) Messaging issues!

A PR addressing this issue should...

• Add a Message button to a developer's profile
  • When clicked, if signed in as a business then open a new conversation screen
  • When clicked, if not signed in as a business then prompt to create a business profile
• developers/:id/messages/new with an input field
  • Create a Conversation that belongs to the developer and business
  • Create a Message that belongs to the conversation
  • Can only be access by a business (via pundit)
• conversations index of all conversations the developer or business is a part of (read only)
  • Link to conversations from header / menu
• /developers/:id/conversation show a specific conversation (read only)
  • pundit for authorization scopes
• Hide the Message button in production based on the feature flag
• Double check mobile views

• Set up app on Heroku
• Configure mailgun for transactional emails
• Configure AWS bucket for Active Storage
• Point www.railsdevs.io DNS to Heroku

After 60 days I will transfer the domain to namecheap. Apparently you have to wait that long to transfer a new registration.

Regarding our recent conversation here #45 I suggested to implement something like limited badges, that developers can choose

Additionally, I think it might be useful to add some preferences between the two options, it can help to better understand developer preferences.

For example:
ruby - other backend languages
rails way - dry-rb

I don't know maybe developer can set some percentage proportion 30/70 or 50/50 or something like this

It can helps employees to choose developers that better match their project conditions. For example, it's good for big projects that currently rewriting their existing monoliths to microservices with golang backend language, that your future ruby developer has some interest in golang. And vice versa for startups it's not valuable if the developer starts to push founders to try any other technology only because he has an interest in it.

A PR addressing this issue should...

• A developer can view their conversations via a link in the nav bar
• A developer can view individual conversations via the conversation list
• When viewing a conversation, there is a text field to reply to the conversation
• On form submit, aMessage is created
• Messages are correctly identified as being sent from "You" or the business/developer

This will be easier to find the developer by their availability

Here's the time range I propose:

• All -> this is the default one
• Available Now
• In a week
• In two weeks
• In a month
• More than a month

Every PR seems to be triggering the test action twice – one of them should be removed.

Folks coming to the site without knowing anything about it are a bit confused. I'd love to add the following copy in a header (or similar) on the home page.

Find Ruby on Rails developers looking for freelance, contract, and full-time work.

The tricky bit here is that the layout/design of the page needs to change to incorporate this. I'm open to mockups and PRs on this one and could use some help!

To-do

• Redesign homepage to add description
• Mobile redesign of homepage + menu
• Developers#show
• Devise forms (sign in, registration, passwords, confirmation, etc.)
• Flash message
• Footer with links to open source repo, analytics, and creators (for now)

I think the app was setup in rails new to not have system tests (but I'm not sure).

Do you want system/browser tests (if so I can add to CI)

A PR addressing this issue should...

• Wrap UI and routes (only) related to Messaging in a feature flag
• Expose said feature flag via an environment variable

Describe the bug
We are using find method which will throw ActiveRecord::NotFound exception if record with the specified id not found

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Navigate to any developer profile that doesn't exist for example https://www.railsdevs.io/developers/1000

Expected behavior
Should handle that exception and show a nice UI of developer not found with specified id or something like that.

Screenshots

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

I want to display badges on developer profiles that are verified via an automated system.

The first one is a contributor to this project. Using the GitHub API, we could check this repository's contributor list and cross-reference that with the developer's username.

Once we have that system in place, it shouldn't be much more effort to add the same functionality for the Rails repository.

The big lift here is OAuth with GitHub to ensure someone has access to the GitHub account they say they are.

What other badges would you like to see on your developer profile?

Strong preference for the pagy gem here.

In #20, I setup the app to handle file uploads on the disk for development and test environments. In order to push to a live system, we'll need to configure a remote service to accept uploads. I don't know what you want to do with this @joemasilotti, but I wanted to open this issue to field what you're thinking.

• title and twitter:title
• description and twitter:description
• image and twitter:image – hoping to integrate Mugshot Bot for dynamic images

• https://www.railsdevs.io/users/password/new
• https://www.railsdevs.io/users/confirmation/new

Describe the bug

Not really a bug, but more a chore. We should move all of the copy to the i18n file config/locales/en.yml. This will make our lives much easier if/when we translate to a new language. It also keeps everything in one spot vs. littered across the app.

The following views need to be styled.

• https://www.railsdevs.io/users/password/new
• https://www.railsdevs.io/users/confirmation/new

Describe the bug

The mobile menu is covered by elements on the Developers#show page.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Visit any developer page (e.g. https://www.railsdevs.io/developers/1) on mobile
2. Open the menu
3. See the avatar and hero covering the mobile menu

Expected behavior

The mobile menu should be on top of everything.

As a developer based in EU I want to be able to select my TZ so that potential clients can figure out if I match their timezone enough when looking at my profile.

UI bits

• when editing a developer profile, display a select box with TZ to select from using City, Country "Paris, France" and UTC reference "UTC +/- 1".
• when showing a developer profile, display the timezone.

Questions

• is it worth digging into the whole "where are you based?" with country too ?

Love that this project uses standardrb. How about linting your erb files too?

I recently set up a new Rails app with a pretty minimal erblint config using standardrb for embedded ruby code. Happy to contribute PR if desired!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Being an open product, I want to document all expenses involved in running the site.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to see these expenses on the website and linked from the header. Perhaps /open or /stats could work in the long run. But for now something simple like /expenses is probably fine.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None, yet.

Additional context

To keep track until this feature is built, I will document all expenses here.

Expenses

• October 21 - purchase railsdevs.io, railsdevs.org, and railsdevs.online - $49.33
• November 12 - Fathom analytics monthly - $14
• November 13 - purchase railsdevs.com - $250
• ...

Pending expenses

• December 9 - hosting on Heroku - $7

Reset password does not work.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://www.railsdevs.io/users/sign_in'
2. Click on 'Forgot your password?'
3. Enter provided email address
4. Click on Send reset password instructions
5. It raises this validation error Invalid Email or password.

Expected behavior
After clicking Send reset password instructions button, it should send a resetting password instruction email I guess.

A PR that addresses this issue should...

• When viewing a conversation there is a text field to reply to the conversation
• On form submit, a Message is created that belongs to the client and the conversation

What do you think about to add the rspec library, Factory bot, Shoulda matches?

i can do it if we need it

Use devise for user authentication.

A PR addressing this issue should...

• After signing up, present a new screen asking if the user is a developer or client at /roles/new
• If a developer, redirect to developers/new
• If a client, redirect to businesses/new
  • This form includes name, company, and avatar

Describe the bug
If a developer enters a very long Hero then the page shows the entire content and causes horizontal scrolling.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Visit the homepage on mobile
2. Scroll down to the developer in the screenshot

Expected behavior
The page doesn't scroll horizontally.

Screenshots

Additional context
This can be done in CSS but I'm not 100% sure which property to use.
