   Old legend

   There are many new platforms for creating websites nowadays. But I still use WP and it works well. A lot of plugins and templates. Easy to find a developer to customise theme. No monthly fees. So, I like it.

• What App Would Prevent a Website from Getting Hacked, and Why?

  Why is this effective? Traditional firewalls block known threats based on signatures, but hackers evolve quickly, using zero-day exploits that bypass these rules. CodeLock's AI model, continuously trained on evolving data, adapts to new patterns, reducing false positives while enhancing accuracy. In educational institutions, where sensitive student data is at stake, such proactive measures could prevent breaches... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

  I've had my ups and downs with WordPress, I'm not a hardcore fan to be honest, but you can't deny it's popularity. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• Website Development for Small Businesses: Your Ultimate Guide

  First up, regular software updates are completely non-negotiable. If you're on a platform like WordPress, this means keeping the core software, your plugins, and your theme updated.

• Open Source: A Goldmine for Indie Hackers

  Open source software is built on the democratic idea that everyone should be able to inspect and contribute to the source code. Major projects like Linux, WordPress, and the Apache HTTP Server have shown how collaborative efforts can produce robust, scalable solutions. Indie hackers, often working with limited budgets, gain access to highly dependable tools such as Python and MySQL, which were originally developed... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Building a Web Framework from Scratch

  Draco is a Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) YSWS (You Ship We Ship) — teenagers build a working server side web framework from scratch. Ship it, and we send you a mechanical keyboard + SSD. The idea came from building Beasty — my own HTTP server from raw TCP. The moment you parse your first request line by hand and a browser actually responds, something clicks. You stop thinking of HTTP as magic and start thinking... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (November 2025)

  Email: hi@skyfall.dev Hi! I’m a high-school student looking for a part-time role or internship at a company building something ambitious. I learn quickly, thrive in small teams (see below!) and love taking projects from idea to shipped product. I currently volunteer for a nonprofit (for teens into STEM) called Hack Club [1], have ran programs there, and have also worked on some of their flagship programs - in... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

  It's really easy to join! There are lots of cool programs currently running. Maybe wait until next week so the migration is done, but do check our website: https://hackclub.com (we have/had 100k people in the Slack). - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Slack is extorting us with a $195k/yr bill increase

  I was ready to be unsympathetic - too bad for the company - but then I read TFA and it's a rug pull on a nonprofit teaching coding to kids.... https://hackclub.com/ (They do help clubs sell things, taking "7% of income", so they do have a revenue stream, but the money that Slack wants would pay a veritable army of student interns.). - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• How I implemented a DHT with the Chord protocol in C

  I wanted to thank Hack Club and GitHub Education for the motivation they give us high-schoolers to code, to learn new things and to create amazing projects together. If you are a high-schooler and a programmer, I highly suggest you to join Hack Club in order to find more people with the same passions as you and to apply for the GitHub Education pack to get a series of tools to elevate your coding skills. I'm sure... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
