I'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.
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.
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.
Yes, I've seen this same issue with AWS lambdas. Browser reports CORS errors but sending the same request with Postman returns HTTP500, which made me realise it was a malformed request.
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.
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.
Scrolling 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? those who play with a combination of both and with the infinity other mediums that exist?
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.
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.
Is this in Rust, or specific to Rust? That was my first impression because the .rs extension is in vogue within the Rust community.
It looks like an interesting page. As a site for makers, it would be nice if it had one of those peel back corner links that you can click and find out what the site was using (production stack, languages, tools, etc.).
My concern would be differentiating from code hubs like Github and Gitlab, but I suspect you have a plan for that.
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.
It's a different kind of profile page where it's not about the companies you worked for but what you've done.
It's also a place where you discover other makers like you. Get feedback or let others know what you think about their work.
It's where you get inspired and motivated.
It's where you learn and grow.
Thanks for checking and I'd love to hear your feedback!
