#12Congrats to your project. On parts of the site you should check the responsiveness. For example I was able to scroll far to the right on the project lists (android & chrome). When I uploaded my profile picture it was very distorted. Overall I like it and think it is a good idea!
Thanks for your feedback, I'm working on improving the responsiveness and to add a resize/crop functionality to picture upload. Until then, the best format for a profile pic is a square, this will avoid any distortion.

Well each one serves a different purpose IMO, even though some parts tend to look similar (the product list/directory for ex).
Product hunt is mainly about sharing cool things you found/discovered/hunted.
Make.rs is about YOU, what you've made, your profile page as a maker (think about LinkedIn but with the things you've done and not the companies you worked for). More features will be coming to help makers discover things, learn and grow their skills.

#14I'm getting CORS issues when I try to submit a project (Chrome, Safari). > Access to XMLHttpRequest at ' https://api.make.rs/projects/ ' from origin ' https://make.rs ' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
This is weird, you are the second one who reports this today. I really wonder what's wrong as it works for the rest, and the CORS is configured correctly IMO (but seems it's not?). Sorry :/
I had a similar issue once with an app hosted on Azure. Large images were triggering the WAF sometimes as a ‘chunk’ of the image would falsely match a default firewall rule.
The CORS error was because the ‘request blocked’ response was a html page without cross origin headers.
Worth checking for that

#15Scrolling through the list... I love the personality to this page with the visual design; don't see that too often these days. Tempted to make a page (I suppose my hand-coded html homepage at https://www.kradeelav.com would fit, as well as various zine and illustration projects). My only big question is a lack of understanding 'which makers' are acceptable here. Those who play with code? those who play with paper? th…
Thanks and really good question, I deliberately let it a bit vague at the moment. I'm a tech guy obviously, and it seems that most of those who identify themselves as makers are coming from the tech (building digital / tech products). Or it's because they are very influential on the social media.
Anyway, you can see make.rs similar to linkedin but focused on what you made instead of who you worked for. So anyone can list their creations. If the entries are really diverse I will probably add a categorisation system, because I also want to help makers exchange around their interests, to learn & grow their skills.
Hope it makes sense.

Do you have multiple API instances by chance? Maybe one remained with "old" code?
Only one which is deleted everytime I deploy a new version. This one stresses me a lot at the moment so I need to figure out what causes it and then fix it haha.

Very interesting, thanks for the pointer, much appreciated. I was suspecting it has to do with uploading large images but your comment made it clear where to look at now.

I'm getting this same problem while trying to set my profile at the welcome screen (or by going to settings). This is on Firefox Developer Edition. I then manually disabled CORS (I overrode it with an extension), and noticed it was failing again, but this time with an HTTP 413 to the API endpoint. I changed my image to something smaller (it was 3 MB), and it worked.
Thanks a lot for these details, it is very helpful. I'll deploy a fix later today to address this problem (cors errors for large images)

Thanks, it's because it uses the server time so I will have to translate it to local time on the client. Will fix this soon.
