Documenting code, one commit at a time.
When working on web applications, ensuring that all components render correctly across different environments is crucial. In the devlog-ist/landing project, a recent commit focused on restoring the visibility of a diagram section within the PostResource component. This seemingly small change can have a significant impact on the user experience, ensuring that visual elements are displayed as
Working on the devlog-ist/landing project, we're refining the authentication flow. The goal is to streamline user registration and login, particularly for non-developers who might be contributing recommendations. We've adjusted the available OAuth providers to match user roles.
Previously, both GitHub and LinkedIn were presented as default options on the login and registration pages.
OAuth provides a streamlined approach to user authentication, but it's crucial to implement security measures that protect user data and prevent unauthorized access. A common scenario involves social login, where users authenticate via third-party providers like GitHub or LinkedIn.
A potential vulnerability arises when users not yet
Improving the accuracy and scope of technology detection is crucial for generating relevant and informative content. A recent update introduces rule-based technology detection, significantly expanding our ability to identify the technologies involved in code changes. This enhancement allows for more precise tagging and categorization of blog posts, benefiting both content creators and readers.
This article discusses a common issue in applications using GitHub OAuth for authentication: inadvertently overwriting a user's existing token with one that has fewer permissions. We'll explore how to ensure the application preserves the user's original, broader-scoped token when requesting narrower scopes during subsequent logins.
Many applications use GitHub
Modern e-commerce platforms often leverage promotional codes to drive sales and enhance customer experience. Integrating these codes seamlessly into the checkout flow is crucial for maximizing their effectiveness.
A well-designed checkout process should provide a clear and intuitive way for users to apply promotion codes.
Making content easily discoverable for AI search engines is crucial for broader reach. Here's how we improved the accessibility of our tenant portfolio content.
Our primary objective was to enable AI search engines to easily discover and consume tenant portfolio content. This involved providing machine-readable endpoints that expose content in a structured and easily parsable manner.
Our landing page was primarily targeted towards individual developers. To broaden our reach, we've pivoted to include a stronger B2B narrative and activate our Enterprise plan.
The previous landing page lacked specific content and messaging to attract institutions such as academies, bootcamps, and universities.
This post details a recent effort to improve the security, reliability, and maintainability of our application. It covers several key areas, including XSS prevention, reCAPTCHA consolidation, OAuth error handling, dependency injection, and code cleanup.
Securing web applications requires a multi-layered approach. Recent updates to our application focused on bolstering security through rate limiting on authentication routes and implementing granular access control for administrative resources.
To mitigate brute-force attacks and other forms of abuse, we've implemented rate limiting on critical
