Awesome!

Happy to answer any questions you have. It probably starts out clean, but as I got along the code probably gets more messy. ๐Ÿ˜…

I love Ruby. Itโ€™s so English like! Feels like you just write a story. ๐Ÿ˜„

But yeah- it uses PSQL, so youโ€™ll need that. Outside of getting that set up, you should be good to go! There is a seed file that can set up a bunch of dummy data, too.

if you have the table structure you want to import it too, i can try to parse the data and extra the info and import them to your table structure... if you have it on a server and give me ftp access, i can down it locally and play with it... anyway, if you need help let me know...

It's much appreciated! I'm not sure what you could do though. The database is 7gigs, so tossing it around the internet is kind of a pain. ๐Ÿ˜…

That's true.
It was originally helpernow.com - I at least think help-qa is better than that. ๐Ÿ˜‚

yeah they naturally are... i think its ok for now, maybe later you can start a poll and maybe somebody from the community will comes up with a good name that isnt pricey...

help.io is parked, but help.* websites are pricey. Most of them are $1,000+/year at the minimum. ๐Ÿ˜ž

yeah true, most domain name are taken now, .io is getting more widely used specially with start up, so its worth exploring, i guess...

I know the name isn't that great. =/
It's tough to find cheap domains that are any good though!

I might have to try .NET again. Honestly when I tried it, it was long before I actually started programming. It was when I was still dabbling around and seeing if it was something I wanted to do. So maybe it wasn't a fair trial. ๐Ÿ™‚

Ouch. That doesn't sound fun, but an excuse to try out something new is always good.

I'm glad you like it. ๐Ÿ˜„ There's quite a number of bugs and things I'd like to clean up. I threw it together pretty quickly. ๐Ÿ˜… Luckily it seems most of them are not super noticeable, or people just kind of go with it...

That sounds like a fun project!

hahaha yeah people stick to their preferred languages, I dont know how people code without using '}' and ';' its so odd ^_^

I love .NET! its so awesome, very clean and microsoft are more open source friendly now, so its working out very well.

I will give it a try and see how it goes, I might get a "pilonidal cyst" surgery so might have some time since it requires 2 weeks of recovery will c... but seriously the website is in very good shape, kudos!

still in the very begning, am still trying to wrap my head around it, its confusing, am still trying to make sense of the overall component and tools. Managed to access a local (test) blockchain

That's awesome. My good friend does PHP. I've been trying to convert him for ages. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I touched on .NET for a short time and didn't like it. Now that I've gotten into Ruby and love it so much, I've found it difficult to tear myself away and put time into learning some of these popular new frameworks that are popping out. Haha.

Ruby is super easy and very fun to write, so I recommend it there- but probably not worth learning just so you can help out here. ๐Ÿ˜„ It would be very appreciated though! My list of things to do here has gotten so long that it's hard to find motivation to do it. ๐Ÿ˜› But it's all running and that's what's important.

The Ethereum project sounds fun! Are you far along with it?

php was my first programming language that i learned and my first job was php but that was like 9 years ago, havn't use it ever since. I have been doing .NET all these years, i know angular and angular 2... Sadly I don't know rubby so its gona be a pain to help out with helpQA, but am determined to help out, but honestly the website is in such a good shape am so very impressed, seriously good job man!!

Am currently playing around with blockchain Ethereum, trying to develop a decentralized app... but i might cut that short and start to get familiar with rubby and the code for running this website.

What kind of web dev, by the way? I saw you did some PHP in the past- is that still current?
