On my screen, every time I click the button the different text width changes the button's position, making lazy repeat, procrastinatory clicking hard work.

yep, will fix it later

But seriously, this is a breaking UX bug. I stopped clicking cause of it.

Quick fix (works on mobile too):

  .gradient-button {
     position: fixed;
     bottom: 2rem;
  }

Nice :) Laughed at http://startuperlife.xyz/38

you need to also be able to laugh at people who try to pull that off in real life. Have had a few of those in my time, as probably most people have. Initially I tried to be 'professional', but have learned to be more blunt as those happen. To be sure, it's happened less over the last few years, but I don't know how much of that is there's an actual shift in peoples' expectations, and how much I'm just not networking as much :)

The only problem with that one is that the usual offer from these types is more like 10% and no salary.... ;)

It'd be nice if you modified the url without modifying browser history.

Nice one mate, you might need to randomise it as every time it does start from the 1st quote.

I made this site just for fun and vue.js learning purpose. Hope you like it =)

BTW: vue.js is amazing!

danieka8y ago

Cool, one suggestion is to make the button stay in the same place even when the text takes up two rows. That way I don't have to move my mouse between the jarringly accurate quotes of me :D

naturalgradient8y ago

Was going to suggest this and potentially make it possible to get another quote via arrow keys

archiolidiusOP8y ago

Good idea, thanks

How did you enjoy Vue vs React?

k__8y ago

I have the feeling most people who choose Vue over React do it because Vue is marked as "simpler than React", which I don't understand, but I have to admit I only tried a simple Vue example and it seemed much more complicated as the React version.

I mean, how much simpler could you get? Every UI element is a component, you pass data and event handlers down via props and events up.

The only other approach I found, that had less concepts, were the observables in Cycle.js, where basically everything is an observable.

honestly, I didn't work a lot with react (actually, I did only todo list =)) but, in my opinion, Vue is easier and more beautiful than React

FroshKiller8y ago

In English, you have to double the consonant to indicate that the vowel is short. It should be "startupper." If you don't, "startuper" rhymes with "super," and the meaning is lost.

Not a huge gripe but the title text changes on every button click too and it is not synced with the featured quote. I'm not sure if that's intentional or a bug. But otherwise, pretty work!

archiolidiusOP8y ago

yep, this is a bug thanks

lvoudour8y ago

Just FYI, my company's firewall blocks it with the label 'malicious'. Don't know if its the .xyz extension or something in the content

For full effect, someone should give this project a $3.5M seed round.

archiolidiusOP8y ago

well, it would be awesome. Then I could hire sales/marketing team and rent big office :)

idlewords8y ago

Initial coin offering, my friend.

My eyes hurt because of the changing colors!

Not to be that guy but: This loads as a blank page on Windows Phone 8.1, just FYI :)

archiolidiusOP8y ago

I did just for fun so, obviously, I didn't check it on Windows Phone or even IE :) But thanks for reporting, maybe I'll take a look at that once

oddlyaromatic8y ago

Makes sense. I would think, even without testing, most people would expect vue etc to render their content on various browsers, rather than render nothing. I myself am sometimes surprised/confused when code that runs elsewhere fails on WP. Might not affect this fun project, but worth knowing down the line. Often it related to promises, if you are using them.

interesting to see there's only 140 damn true moments (at the time of writing, anyway).

that's like, almost two and a half hours
