Best Full Stack Web Developer Roadmap 2023 - Iqontech

At the heart of the Full Stack Web Developer Roadmap 2023 lies a solid foundation in programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These form the building blocks of the web and allow you to create visually appealing and interactive user interfaces.

[arimiadev]

Steam's 2025 Visual Novel Fest is abysmal.

for the past few years, perhaps as a way to appease the thousands of visual novel developers for the poor search abilities on Steam or perhaps to get more money from the thousands of porn games on the platform, Valve has hosted an annual Visual Novel Fest, a week-long event "promoting" visual novels on Steam. this event has always been questionably helpful to developers, but this year I believe takes the cake.

context: I'm a visual novel developer. I also help other VN studios with steam stuff. so I interface with steam's backend and these sorts of things.

first off, the requirements. if we go to their publicly available steamworks documentation, we can see the eligibility requirements here:

basically:

Reading is the primary gameplay

The player cannot walk around, and can typically only look around from a static position

There is no combat - if there is fighting, the gameplay loop is a small portion of the game. Multiple outcomes leading to different plot events is allowed.

makes sense, right? except some fantastic visual novels like of the Devil, Date Time, and others were rejected from the festival.

okay, so maybe they're being incredibly strict with their definition of a visual novel—

as usual from previous years, some games that are wildly not visual novels are included in the festival. well, there's probably a thousand or so games in the festival, so some will always slip through the cracks, but at least the rest of the festival is alright, right?

the main tabs for the festival up top are:

Featured

Browse Games

Browse Adult Only Games

Free to Play

Free Demos

Upcoming

every tab except for Free to Play and Upcoming only feature games that are for sale AND discounted. if your game is released and in the festival but not discounted, it is shown nowhere unless a steam user scrolls through the giant wall of "All" games (which is mostly filtered by popularity).

Free Demos? no, that only shows discounted games as well. (a lot of the games in this fest are daz 3d "visual novels")

well, at least there's an "Upcoming" tab to share visual novels that haven't been released, right? no. that big, main tab only has 1 widget - Popular Upcoming. for some reason, they didn't populate the tab with any other widgets like the others, which have sections for Horror, Otome, LGBT+, etc.

this also means that only 22 unreleased games are actually getting space in the entire festival.

now, there is one exception to this - if users scroll all the way down on any of the tabs, there's a "Browse Games" widget that lets them filter and see every game in the festival. but this is just the Steam search section, nothing groundbreaking.

but it does allows users to see all of the visual novels in the festival and not just the featured few - mine can only be seen if you do some filtering in this search section.

so this VN Fest has become nothing more than a VN Sale - I don't know why they don't just call it that. nowhere in the documentation did it say you have to discount games in order to be actually featured in it, and as usual indie devs are given the shortest end of the stick from Valve.

...all of this is to say....

go play visual novels on itchio

35k+ visual novels on itchio!! can you imagine playing even half that many? and so many of them are free and made lovingly by sickos. go find some wonderfully weird or creatively romantic visual novels to play today.

This Week in BL - We Are Surprised

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

May 2024 Wk 2

Ongoing Series - Thai

Wandee Godday (Sat YT) ep 2 of 12 - Oh it’s fucking great. It could all go horribly south, of course. But it’s awesome at the moment. Messy gay and one of them is already pining? Got to love it. Including the negotiation.

I’d love a good sex negotiation, it’s almost as good as linguistic negotiation. This show makes me happy. All that said, it’s moving awfully quickly for a 12 episode run. Not sure what’s gonna happen on the backend. 

My Stand-In (Thai Fri iQIYI) ep 3 of 12 eps - I’m still enjoying it but I’m ready for him to die again now. 

We Are (Weds iQIYI) ep 5-6 of 16 - Toey is going after the Namgoong Award for Best Wingman this year, I see. And in exchange, literally all the rest of the friends are going to be his wingmen. It’s adorable. I also like that Phuwin got to be the aggressor for the first kiss. I like that this is mostly just boys flirting, and not really any prescribed seme/uke stuff. In general, I think these last two episodes I improved the show in my regard a lot. But then middles are always GMMTV's strong point, it’s whether they can stick the landing that’s an issue.

Two Worlds (Thurs iQIYI) ep 9 of 10 - Apparently we have the Frodo walking into Mordor episode. Also the sides were cute. In Thailand (like Taiwan) all gangsters are gay, apparently. 

Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 5 of 12 - It’s cute but very cringe and dorky. Silly singing. Terrible pickup lines. Still, that was a ridiculously charming confession.

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 12fin - Oh so good. Very few shows that feature one-sided long-term pining of this kind can resolve the unevenness of that power dynamic into a more stable and equal footing with such class. We really got to see the object of the desire turn completely around and become equally besotted. An age gap, stepbrothers trope like this one is hard enough but at this length? Very well acted boys! Unknown managed to show the older brother softening in a believable way that’s pretty unusual in narratives of this type.

All in all?

Unknown is a wonderful BL with a pitch perfect portrayal of long term pining, age gap, and the stepbrothers trope. The acting and chemistry are ON POINT (especially from the leads) which made the resulting characters very believable. When it dwells in intimate family drama, it's stunning. It's slightly less successful when it leaves the home and goes gritty. It's few flaws are the result of curtailed length. It could have used more breathing room to deal with side plots, characters, and companion character development. The editing was occasionally choppy and packed with flashbacks that broke the emotional tension. Still, those are mere quibbles. This is an excellent show that I know I'm going to be recommending a lot. 9/10

Finally Taiwan hits another one out of the park.

About.

Damn.

Time.

Blue Boys (Korea Sat YouTube) 4 of ? - Oh it’s so good, and they are so tortured and it’s just charming and I can’t EVEN. I just love it. I love that Korea is giving us this right now. You’re an idiot if you’re not watching this show, it’s truly spectacular.

At 25:00 in Akasaka AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 4 of 10 - Well well well Japan. I see how you kneed. I enjoyed this episode better than the first two, and I am way into our Bad Boy second lead. I can already feel myself succumbing  to the syndrome. Next week = the obligatory onsen ep! 

Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 5 of 10 - Omg most adorbs failed linguistic negotiation. 

Boys Be Brave AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) ep 5-6 of 8 - I love the side couple. It’s a shame we’re finally getting some truly great class conflict and it’s relegated to crumbs.

Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 11-12fin - Well that was a waste of time. There was no connection (of any kind) between the leads. The language thing was hella weird and likely added to that. The past history of the Korean character was necessary to know from the start, its lack throughout, meant there was no depth to his character. They tried to tackle all the interesting stuff in the final 2 eps. AND they even killed the dog. I never thought I'd type this sentance, but Peach of Time is better.

I don’t know. 5/10 I guess

All in all:

A disappointing lackluster and barely cohesive BL about a jerk Thai actor (speaking Thai) who has to work for a Korean animal rescue cafe as a publicity stunt. It's difficult to believe the leads like each other, let alone fall in love. The acting is stiff, the characters lack motivation and cohesion, and there's not much to recommend this show beyond some pretty visuals. Also, they kill the dog. All in all, a disappointing and unsuccessful joint venture that mostly highlighted that between Thailand and Korea the style of BL, narrative approach, language cadence, and acting techniques all clash.

It's airing but...

Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.

You Made My Day (Thai YT) ep 1 of 5 - mini series staring the I Will Knock You couple Tar & Bom, started but I couldn't find it. I also didn't try very hard.

A Balloon's Landing (Taiwan movie) trailer - A frustrated Hong Kong writer, Tian Yu, meets a Taipei street gangster, Xiang (Fandy Fan from HIStory2: Crossing the Line), and the two of them embark on a journey to find the Bay of Vanishing Whales. Along the way, they discover unexpected twists and turns and close bonds, which brings out the message that "there is always someone like you in this world who is waiting for you. This released to cinemas in Taiwan, no word on international release.

Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - it's done, tell me if I should bother?

Fan's Only Corner

Someone asked in a comment (which tumblr promptly ate) about group sleepovers in BLs. It's happened a few times but the only one I can recall being noted and particularly lovely (and VERY college) was in Nitiman. There's also one in Lovesick.

Next Week Looks Like This:

5/16 Blossom Campus (Korea Thurs Gaga & iQIYI) ep 1 of 6 - Strongberry doing classic uni BL! Weeee!

5/19 OMG Vampire (Thai Sun ????) ep 1 of 10 - LeeFrank are back - not unlike the undead (as it were). But how do we feel about it? Unsure given their track record.

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

May Releases

VBL (Taiwan) is releasing 4 'Special Episode' epilogues to their 4 2023 shows every Friday this month on Gagaoolala, Viki & Viu. Not sure on search terms or how to find these. (Or, frankly, if we need them.)

5/10 – You Are Mine

5/17 – VIP Only

5/24 – Stay By My Side

5/31 – Anti Reset

5/25 The Time of Fever AKA Unintentional Love Story 2 (Korea movie) trailer - HoTae & DongHee are back but unfortunately not in a cinema near me. Side couple from Unintentional Love Story, same actors, same character names. I love them. I NEED TO SEE THIS.

5/28 My Biker 2 (Thai movie YT?) - trailer

5/31 The Time of Huannan (Taiwan movie) - May not be BL

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

LOVE a smile kiss. Love it. Two killer kisses from PondPhuwin. Elegantly done, boys. Thank you very much.

I love them a lot all of a sudden. (All We Are)

It's hard to give MaxTul a run on their crown as best bodies in BL, but boy these two are giving it their, erm, best. (Wandee Goodday)

Chapter 8 - Locked Out

Few things about post-outbreak life had come easy to Joel, but one thing he never struggled with was silence. He was a man of few words, he relished in solitude, and his years as a father made him excellent at moving quietly. While he’d developed that skill to avoid waking Sarah as an infant, it also proved useful for avoiding Infected. He never thought he’d get another chance to use his light tread for anything other than survival, but here he was. Carefully climbing the creaky wooden steps to his brother’s front door, stepping over the squeakiest one he’d been meaning to fix for ages now.

Knock! Knock!

Joel rapped softly on the warm oak door, just loud enough to announce his presence without risking a screaming baby.

Tommy answered a moment later.

“You look like shit,” Joel cracked an amused smile. Tommy had said something similar the first time he’d greeted Joel after Sarah was born.

“Gee, thanks,” Tommy rolled his eyes. He stepped backward, holding the door to usher Joel inside. He hung his filthy patrol jacket on a peg and turned to take it all in.

It was as if a tornado had swept through. Dirty dishes were scattered across every horizontal surface but the floor, and the burp cloth situation wasn’t much better. By the looks of it, Maria was currently making do with a bath mat.

A smile crept across his lips as the baby finally spit up and then descended into soft, easy snores. It was peaceful in the way only small children could be.

“Congratulations,” he said softly, patting his brother on the back far more gently than Tommy had when he’d been freshly uncled.

“Thanks, Joel,” Tommy smiled. There was exhaustion in his eyes, but also a familiar, joyful satisfaction Joel recognized. It was the look of a father.

“Fatherhood suits you, you know.”

“You think?” Tommy asked.

Joel nodded. “I know.”

Maria chimed in from across the room. “You wanna meet her?”

Joel beamed. “Can I?”

Maria nodded, and he crossed to where she stood beside the fireplace. She jutted her chin toward the couch, and he took a seat in his usual spot.

“She’s beautiful,” he whispered as Maria placed the sleeping babe in his outstretched arms.

It didn’t look right, all his wrinkles and scars and gray hair against such pure, unbridled innocence. He didn’t expect the tears that slipped down his cheeks as he beheld her.

Tommy came to stand behind him, watching with newfound respect for his brother as he met his niece for the first time.

“What’s her name?” Joel asked.

Tommy looked at Maria. She nodded, giving him silent permission to proceed.

“Margaret Sarah Miller. Maggie for short.”

Tommy wasn’t sure what he saw in Joel’s eyes as his head snapped to look at him. All he knew was there were tears and something undeniably raw in there. It moved him.

“Maggie, like our mom Maggie?” He asked.

Tommy nodded.

“Yeah,” he said. “And Sarah, like your daughter.”

Joel rolled his eyes through the tears. “Well, yeah, I got that part.”

Maria barked a laugh, and Tommy couldn’t help but follow suit. Joel of all people giggled, and then before they knew it little Maggie was opening her eyes. Her skin was dark like her mother’s, but her eyes—those were Miller eyes. It wasn’t the color that confirmed it, but the tenacity within them. The spark. The wildness that would forever refuse to be tamed.

“She’s gonna be trouble, this one,” Joel mused. “No doubt about it.”

Tommy chuckled. “Well, she’s got Ellie as a big cousin. I’d expect nothing less.”

Joel smiled wistfully. “I’ll have to get her over here tomorrow or the next day. We’ll help clean up so the two of you can get some rest. Would’ve been by sooner, but patrol ran long.”

“Speaking of which,” Maria chimed in, retrieving the baby from Joel to bounce on her hip. “Where’s Doe? I figured she’d be with you.”

Joel’s smile fell then. He still couldn’t make heads or tails of the way you’d stormed off earlier. He sure as shit didn’t know how to explain it to Tommy and Maria.

So he gave them a total non-answer.

“I’m not sure,” he shrugged. “Probably went to bed. It was a long patrol, I’m sure she’s tired.”

Maria cocked an eyebrow at the lame excuse. “Too tired to meet her niece?

* * *

Bang! Bang! Bang!

You awoke to the sound of thuds on your front door.

What now? You thought to yourself as you sat upright, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.

“Doe, open up. I know you’re in there,” a gruff male voice called out to you.

Joel. What the fuck does he want?

You rose from your nest of blankets on the futon and padded towards the door in your slippers, stepping over the piles of dirty laundry that littered your floor.

It got like this, sometimes. You tried to keep things under control, but life had a way of thwarting that endeavor at every available opportunity. You shoved the clutter out of view as best you could and opened the door a crack.

“What?” You eyed him through the opening.

He was dressed casually, a light brown t-shirt giving way to denim down below. He was sweaty, and his hair was mussed. And the look he was giving you, when paired with crossed arms, was downright murderous.

“Office doesn’t open ‘till eight.”

“It’s ten-thirty,” he said, his voice rife with exasperation.

Shit, you winced. I can’t believe I overslept by that much.

You sighed, then opened the door a bit more. Your outfit was messy, but nothing out of the ordinary for pajamas.

“How can I help you, Joel?”

“Wanna tell me why Tommy says you still haven’t been by to see Maria? You’ve been back three days, Doe. She had the baby damn near a week ago. What gives?”

You didn’t know what to say. You’d never been one for excuses, but they were particularly elusive now. You broke eye contact, instead opting to try your hand at staring a hole through the corrugated metal outside your door. It didn’t work. 

Joel reached forward and grabbed the door handle, yanking it open to expose you to the fresh morning air and bright sunlight that hurt your unprepared eyes. You stepped forward quickly, shutting the door behind you before Joel could get a good look at the depression pit formerly known as your office.

“I’m not leaving until you give me an answer,” Joel drawled.

You leaned back against the door and looked up at him with a frown. “You weren’t this mean back at the fire tower.”

“That was different. You needed coddlin’.”

“Who’s to say I don’t need coddling now? You don’t know me. You don’t know my life.”

“That’s the problem.” Joel dropped his hands to his sides. “I don’t know. Because you won’t tell me.”

“You assume there’s something to tell. There’s not.”

“What, cause you got amnesia or somethin’? I saw how you signed your name in the logbook. Either you’ve got real shit taste in aliases or there’s something more going on here.”

You pressed your lips into a thin line. “That’s private.”

“Clearly,” he spat. “Just tell me, are you planning on ignoring her forever, or are you gonna get your ass over there and go meet your niece?”

“That’s not my niece.”

“Maria begs to differ.”

Your eyebrows shot upward, and Joel seized the opportunity to continue.

“You’re her best friend. Her right-hand woman around here. She thinks of you as a sister, Doe.”

Something seized in your gut. “I don’t have a sister. Not anymore.”

You reached for the door handle and pulled, but–

“Fuck.”

It wouldn’t budge. Your heart rate picked up. You resisted the urge to vomit.

You pushed past Joel and scanned the flat expanse between the base of the building and the large wooden gates that enclosed the community you’d dedicated yourself to protecting. It was busy this time of day, but there was one person in particular you were looking for. You spotted her by the stables.

“Casey! Hey!” You waved your arms over your head to catch her attention.

“Doe? What’s wrong?”

You jutted a thumb over your shoulder. “Got locked out again.”

She sighed. “That’s the third time this month, dude. You gotta get a doorstop or something.”

“I know. Sorry,” you called down as she stopped beneath the wraparound balcony that surrounded your small office perch.

She tossed the spare up, but before you could catch it, a hand reached out and snatched it from the air.

“Thanks!” Joel called down to Casey. “I’ll help her get inside.”

“I could’ve caught that, you know.” You scowled, striding back towards the door.

Joel walked right past it and set off down the stairs that led to ground level.

“The fuck—Joel, where are you going?”

“To Tommy and Maria’s. And if you want to get back into that office of yours, you’re coming with me.”

You took a shaky breath. This was so not what you needed right now. You peered through the door's small wire-infused utility window and gazed longingly at your office. Or was it your apartment? You guessed it was technically both, since you slept on the futon. You locked eyes with the crusty rat plushie perched tall atop your mountain of cozy blankets, and whispered a solemn vow.

“I’ll be back for you soon, Ratty. I promise.”

-- 30 mar --

I've advanced quite a bit with my final project, my app is functional and it's all coming together thanks to creating several, detailed diagrams where I documented everything I'll develop (case use, relationship-entity, classes etc.). What remains is to connect the front and backend properly.

Despite the ok advancement, I'm becoming anxious. I've yet to make the video presentation and add all documentation in the thesis. I just want to finish this, it's quite stressful (as expected lol)

[pawborough]

Hey all!

Happy 1 year anniversary to the launch of our Kickstarter! Meow! We just can't believe it. The project has grown and matured immensely since its inception, and with the hard work of the team it's become something amazing!

We know that for a monument this big, it's expected to see a big update; something which immortalizes our accomplishments.

We are working on a HUGE November drop!

November celebrates our funding milestone, so we'll be going all out! This update is business as usual. But brewing under the surface of our team… we are preparing something grand.

New Fauna

Sponsored and concepted by Apollo, designed and illustrated by Hydde

A wonderful backer-sponsored design!

*Name is not final 

New Gene

Speaking of backer sponsored assets, we have finished rendering a gene sponsored for our game:

Sponsored and concepted by Venex, final design and illustration by Fulemy

Here are a few color previews!

Hawthorne, Apple, Daybreak, Radish, Beetroot, Lily, Peony, Dragonfruit, Catmint, Fire, Flame, and Silver

Aaaaand we are working on translating Overgrowth! Check out this ivy version!

Illustrated by Remmie

New Backdrops

It's a great month for environmental art! 

Harvest Outskirts

Illustrated by Jerso

Zenith Outskirts

Composition by Runeowl, illustrated by Jacksonjoker

Luna Outskirts

Illustrated by Harriertail

And that's it for this time around!

Mechanic Updates

We've completed the backend for:

Item storage and item "safekeeping" mechanic

Daily hunting party duties (item gathering) and cat-dependent advantages in daily activities 

Customize and dress-up for a cat

We also built the item card and accessory preview functionality on the frontend!

Frontend designs for all of these mechanics are done, it's onto frontend building! Once we wrap up this section of development, it's onto the Guild, cooking/crafting, and market mechanics! After which, the game will be in a playable state... wow! 

To Summarize: We shared new fauna, backdrops, the new backer gene, a preview of Overgrowth, and an update on where we are in development. 

What to expect next month: Something big...

SQL Fundamentals #1: SQL Data Definition

Last year in college , I had the opportunity to dive deep into SQL. The course was made even more exciting by an amazing instructor . Fast forward to today, and I regularly use SQL in my backend development work with PHP. Today, I felt the need to refresh my SQL knowledge a bit, and that's why I've put together three posts aimed at helping beginners grasp the fundamentals of SQL.

Understanding Relational Databases

Let's Begin with the Basics: What Is a Database?

Simply put, a database is like a digital warehouse where you store large amounts of data. When you work on projects that involve data, you need a place to keep that data organized and accessible, and that's where databases come into play.

Exploring Different Types of Databases

When it comes to databases, there are two primary types to consider: relational and non-relational.

Relational Databases: Structured Like Tables

Think of a relational database as a collection of neatly organized tables, somewhat like rows and columns in an Excel spreadsheet. Each table represents a specific type of information, and these tables are interconnected through shared attributes. It's similar to a well-organized library catalog where you can find books by author, title, or genre.

Key Points:

Tables with rows and columns.

Data is neatly structured, much like a library catalog.

You use a structured query language (SQL) to interact with it.

Ideal for handling structured data with complex relationships.

Non-Relational Databases: Flexibility in Containers

Now, imagine a non-relational database as a collection of flexible containers, more like bins or boxes. Each container holds data, but they don't have to adhere to a fixed format. It's like managing a diverse collection of items in various boxes without strict rules. This flexibility is incredibly useful when dealing with unstructured or rapidly changing data, like social media posts or sensor readings.

Key Points:

Data can be stored in diverse formats.

There's no rigid structure; adaptability is the name of the game.

Non-relational databases (often called NoSQL databases) are commonly used.

Ideal for handling unstructured or dynamic data.

Now, Let's Dive into SQL:

SQL is a :

Data Definition language ( what todays post is all about )

Data Manipulation language

Data Query language

Task: Building and Interacting with a Bookstore Database

Setting Up the Database

Our first step in creating a bookstore database is to establish it. You can achieve this with a straightforward SQL command:

CREATE DATABASE bookstoreDB;

SQL Data Definition

As the name suggests, this step is all about defining your tables. By the end of this phase, your database and the tables within it are created and ready for action.

1 - Introducing the 'Books' Table

A bookstore is all about its collection of books, so our 'bookstoreDB' needs a place to store them. We'll call this place the 'books' table. Here's how you create it:

CREATE TABLE books ( -- Don't worry, we'll fill this in soon! );

Now, each book has its own set of unique details, including titles, authors, genres, publication years, and prices. These details will become the columns in our 'books' table, ensuring that every book can be fully described.

Now that we have the plan, let's create our 'books' table with all these attributes:

CREATE TABLE books ( title VARCHAR(40), author VARCHAR(40), genre VARCHAR(40), publishedYear DATE, price INT(10) );

With this structure in place, our bookstore database is ready to house a world of books.

2 - Making Changes to the Table

Sometimes, you might need to modify a table you've created in your database. Whether it's correcting an error during table creation, renaming the table, or adding/removing columns, these changes are made using the 'ALTER TABLE' command.

For instance, if you want to rename your 'books' table:

ALTER TABLE books RENAME TO books_table;

If you want to add a new column:

ALTER TABLE books ADD COLUMN description VARCHAR(100);

Or, if you need to delete a column:

ALTER TABLE books DROP COLUMN title;

3 - Dropping the Table

Finally, if you ever want to remove a table you've created in your database, you can do so using the 'DROP TABLE' command:

DROP TABLE books;

To keep this post concise, our next post will delve into the second step, which involves data manipulation. Once our bookstore database is up and running with its tables, we'll explore how to modify and enrich it with new information and data. Stay tuned ...

Why Your Business Might Be Falling Behind Without AI App Development or Modern Web Solutions

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, staying competitive isn’t just about having an online presence — it’s about having the right kind of presence. Many businesses invest in a website or a mobile app and stop there. But without integrating AI app development services and scalable, intelligent business web development services, they risk falling behind.

So, what’s causing this gap, and how can businesses close it?

The Real Challenge: Businesses Aren’t Evolving with User Expectations

User behavior has dramatically changed over the last few years. Customers expect fast, personalized, and intuitive digital experiences. They want websites that respond to their needs, apps that understand their preferences, and services that anticipate their next move. Businesses that are still running on legacy systems or using outdated platforms simply can’t meet these rising expectations.

Let’s say a user visits your website to schedule a consultation or find a product. If your system takes too long to load or offers no AI-driven suggestions, you’ve already lost them — probably to a competitor that’s already using AI app development services to enhance user interaction.

The Role of AI in Transforming Business Applications

Artificial Intelligence is no longer limited to tech giants. From personalized product recommendations to intelligent customer service chatbots, AI app development services are helping businesses of all sizes create smart, responsive applications.

Some examples of what AI can do in a business app include:

Automating repetitive customer queries

Offering personalized product or content recommendations

Identifying user behavior patterns and adapting accordingly

Reducing human errors in backend processes

By integrating AI into mobile or web apps, companies can streamline operations, improve customer satisfaction, and gain deeper insights into user behavior. And as these capabilities become the new norm, not having them means you’re offering a subpar experience by default.

The Foundation: Scalable Business Web Development Services

While AI powers intelligence, you still need a strong digital infrastructure to support it. This is where business web development services come in.

A well-developed business website isn’t just about looking good. It should be:

Responsive: accessible and easy to navigate on all devices

Scalable: ready to handle increased traffic or new features without a full rebuild

Secure: with updated protocols to protect user data

Fast: with optimized loading times for better user retention

These elements don’t just “happen.” They require planning, strategy, and expertise. Modern business web development services help create these experiences, combining functionality with user-centric design.

Let’s not forget the importance of backend systems either — inventory management, CRM integration, user databases, and more all need to run smoothly in the background to support the front-end user experience.

Why the Gap Still Exists

Despite the availability of these technologies, many businesses hesitate to adopt them. Common reasons include:

Fear of high development costs

Uncertainty about where to start

Lack of technical knowledge or internal teams

Belief that AI and advanced web systems are “only for big companies”

But these concerns often stem from a lack of awareness. Platforms like Fenebris India are already offering tailored AI app development services and business web development services that cater specifically to startups, SMBs, and growing enterprises — without the hefty price tag or complex jargon.

The key is to think in terms of long-term growth rather than short-term fixes. A custom-built AI-enabled app or a modern, scalable web system may require some upfront investment, but it significantly reduces future inefficiencies and technical debt.

How to Start Evolving Your Digital Strategy

If you're not sure where to begin, consider these initial steps:

Audit your current digital presence: What features are outdated or missing?

Identify customer pain points: Are users dropping off before completing actions? Are your support channels responsive enough?

Define your goals: Do you want more engagement, smoother operations, better insights?

How to Develop a P2P Crypto Exchange and How Much Does It Cost?

With the rise of cryptocurrencies, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) crypto exchanges have become a popular choice for users who want to trade digital assets directly with others. These decentralized platforms offer a more secure, private, and cost-effective way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. If you’re considering building your own P2P crypto exchange, this blog will guide you through the development process and give you an idea of how much it costs to create such a platform.

What is a P2P Crypto Exchange?

A P2P crypto exchange is a decentralized platform that allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly with each other without relying on a central authority. These exchanges connect buyers and sellers through listings, and transactions are often protected by escrow services to ensure fairness and security. P2P exchanges typically offer lower fees, more privacy, and a variety of payment methods, making them an attractive alternative to traditional centralized exchanges.

Steps to Develop a P2P Crypto Exchange

Developing a P2P crypto exchange involves several key steps. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Define Your Business Model

Before starting the development, it’s important to define the business model of your P2P exchange. You’ll need to decide on key factors like:

Currency Support: Which cryptocurrencies will your exchange support (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins)?

Payment Methods: What types of payment methods will be allowed (bank transfer, PayPal, cash, etc.)?

Fees: Will you charge a flat fee per transaction, a percentage-based fee, or a combination of both?

User Verification: Will your platform require Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification?

2. Choose the Right Technology Stack

Building a P2P crypto exchange requires selecting the right technology stack. The key components include:

Backend Development: You'll need a backend to handle user registrations, transaction processing, security protocols, and matching buy/sell orders. Technologies like Node.js, Ruby on Rails, or Django are commonly used.

Blockchain Integration: Integrating blockchain technology to support cryptocurrency transactions is essential. This could involve setting up APIs for blockchain interaction or using open-source solutions like Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Escrow System: An escrow system is crucial to protect both buyers and sellers during transactions. This involves coding or integrating a reliable escrow service that holds cryptocurrency until both parties confirm the transaction.

3. Develop Core Features

Key features to develop for your P2P exchange include:

User Registration and Authentication: Secure login options such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and multi-signature wallets.

Matching Engine: This feature matches buyers and sellers based on their criteria (e.g., price, payment method).

Escrow System: An escrow mechanism holds funds in a secure wallet until both parties confirm the transaction is complete.

Payment Gateway Integration: You’ll need to integrate payment gateways for fiat transactions (e.g., bank transfers, PayPal).

Dispute Resolution System: Provide a system where users can report issues, and a support team or automated process can resolve disputes.

Reputation System: Implement a feedback system where users can rate each other based on their transaction experience.

4. Security Measures

Security is critical when building any crypto exchange. Some essential security features include:

End-to-End Encryption: Ensure all user data and transactions are encrypted to protect sensitive information.

Cold Storage for Funds: Store the majority of the platform's cryptocurrency holdings in cold wallets to protect them from hacking attempts.

Anti-Fraud Measures: Implement mechanisms to detect fraudulent activity, such as IP tracking, behavior analysis, and AI-powered fraud detection.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensure your platform complies with global regulatory requirements like KYC and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) protocols.

5. Testing and Launch

After developing the platform, it’s essential to test it thoroughly. Perform both manual and automated testing to ensure all features are functioning properly, the platform is secure, and there are no vulnerabilities. This includes:

Unit testing

Load testing

Penetration testing

User acceptance testing (UAT)

Once testing is complete, you can launch the platform.

Long-Term Strategy for Game Series Support

We're entering an era of Long-Term support for Video Games Series. (THAT'S A LIE, WEVE BEEN THERE FOR A MINUTE NOW.)

As Developers and Publishers start shutting down online services for older games (and in some cases disabling the game entirely)

Which is necessary, considering that servers take money to continue running. And older game players simply aren't bringing in revenue to keep the lights on. (Because they're not bringing in any money)

The question that AAA developers should be asking; "How do we integrate our games backend into a shared eco-system in order to reduce costs for each individual game, and increase adoption of newer services/games for our players?"

This is a question that must be asked because Developers and Publishers already know how difficult it is to retain profits while competing with the Resale and Third-Party markets like GameStop.

Many developers have started creating "Always On" services which require the game to be connected to the internet in order to play offline portions. (To verify authenticity that the game was purchased from an official source and not pirated.)

After-all it's hard to continue paying for online services if pirates are using them.

Still, services like Hearthstone provide a free service, free product, and still manage to turn profit. Part of this is because of the competitive environment and sponsored tournaments.

By offering a prize, plenty of players can be convinced to play, just in case they feel like going pro next year.

But they probably won't. Despite that; the game is incredibly fun to play. Except when several players in a row have the exact combo that enables them to keep tempo, and so you gotta grin and bear it till it becomes fun again.

Or buy more cards.

Still, how do you create an environment for the casual players of casual games. Like Animal Crossing, or Pokemon. Since most Pokemon players aren't competitive.

After a half-a-decade, the business model dictates that you sell a new game to replace the old one.

Part of the problem here is that each new game has a lot of the same content as the old game, and thus; in order to switch you need throw away your old save file and start from scratch.

Many players that would do that just because they can would have done so already. And so older players may end up giving up both the old and new, simply because it's easier to do so.

Despite the newest games having a lot of the same content, a lot of old content is lost. Like the Story. What would traditionally be called the "Movie" or "Novel" portion. Depending on if it was a cutscenes or several hundred lines of text.

And so in order to re-experience the old content; many players may instead choose to simply to pirate the old content, or read about it from online sources.

Part of the solution is to simply offer the old content to new players. And to try to convince older players into the new areas by allowing them to bring their old content and achievements with them.

This can be accomplished a few different ways. Crypto is one way to create a ledger tied to a players account so that they can share their content between platforms and games.

Nearly every platform, PlayStation, XBOX, and while Nintendo doesn't offer a platform specific variant, game often still include achievements.

And this system can be used to store certain content on a player basis to brought into newer or different games.

This would also enable cross-game items/content/achievements that players could bring with them from series to series.

Which would be a boom for cross-promotional purposes. And by creating an environment and a system that enables to store this in the same place(cloud). You could also control for DataBase specifications in order to reduce size and increase speeds for each individual game.

Now, I am pretty well Versed in Learning Content Distribution. SCORM(This is an acronym you don't need to know, and would only raise more questions if I explain it, so I'll stick to the surface here.) SCORM, TinCan, and xAPI (not to be confused with Twitter) are specifications created for the Learning Management Environment (Education, College, Government, and corporate training models) in order to do exactly what I'm talking about with as little or as much data bandwidth requirements, is relatively secure and includes cross-service achievement-like systems.

As well as content-distribution systems.

I would assume there's a way to integrate it with Crypto. It would replace the monkey WEBMs with something more substantial.

And this service or system would allow not only players to bring their accounts and achievements and items with them from game to game (or from game to social media) but games to communicate with each other.

Again, I'm thinking "Eco-system" here. Publishers would be able to do large-scale cross-promotional events with many games simultaneously. And enable platform-hoping between games with content from each individual event.

What this means is that you would also be able to provide a place for those old games to exist, even if they don't participate it the Events anymore. AND encourage players to try new and other games because they don't lose their original save files doing so.

The Evolving Role of Frontend Developers

As technology continues to evolve, the role of a frontend developer is expanding. Today, the line between frontend and backend development is becoming increasingly blurred, with many frontend developers expected to have some knowledge of backend technologies (a role often referred to as "full-stack development").

Additionally, the rise of progressive web apps (PWAs) and headless CMS architectures has introduced new ways of thinking about frontend development. Frontend developers are now focusing on creating experiences that go beyond the browser, delivering high-performance, native-like experiences on the web.

Another area of growing importance for frontend developers is accessibility. Ensuring that websites are usable by people with disabilities is not just a legal requirement but a responsibility for developers who want to create inclusive digital experiences. This involves using semantic HTML, providing keyboard navigability, and designing with screen readers in mind.

Why Frontend Developers Are Crucial for Business Success

Frontend developers play a critical role in shaping the user experience, which directly impacts the success of a digital product. A well-designed, fast, and user-friendly website or application can increase engagement, boost conversion rates, and enhance brand perception.

For businesses, the user interface is often the first point of contact with potential customers. If a website is slow, difficult to navigate, or visually unappealing, users are likely to leave, costing the business potential sales or leads. Frontend developers ensure that the website or app not only looks great but also performs optimally, keeping users engaged and satisfied.

Conclusion

In the modern digital landscape, frontend developers are essential to creating seamless, engaging, and high-performance online experiences. Their unique combination of technical skills and creative problem-solving allows them to transform designs into functional, responsive, and dynamic websites. As the demand for intuitive digital products continues to grow, the role of the frontend developer will only become more integral to business success and the evolution of web technologies.

Title: The Role of a Front-End Developer: Crafting the Digital Experience

In today’s fast-paced digital world, websites and applications are the primary touchpoints for businesses and users. The seamless experiences we enjoy on websites—from smooth navigation to responsive design—are largely due to the efforts of front-end developers. But what exactly does a front-end developer do, and why is their role crucial in building user-friendly, efficient digital products?

What is a Front-End Developer?

A front-end developer is a professional who focuses on the client-side development of a website or application. This means they work on the part of the website that users directly interact with. While the back-end (server-side) handles the logic and data storage, the front-end is responsible for what users see and how they interact with a site.

In essence, front-end developers translate design mockups into functional websites or applications using code. They combine the worlds of design, user experience (UX), and coding to ensure a smooth, responsive, and visually appealing user interface (UI).

Key Responsibilities of a Front-End Developer

The role of a front-end developer goes beyond just coding a website. It involves understanding user needs, optimizing for performance, and ensuring the digital product works flawlessly across various devices and browsers. Here are the key responsibilities of a front-end developer:
