Hmm I don't have much ideas for now, I'll think about it and tell you when I have ideas i judge as good

It would be neato if someone made a app for phones that blocked haraam websites on chrome and whatever browser comes with the phone

Facebook was a copy of MySpace. Just because someone invented a variant does not mean that it is the best. McDonald's is a copy of white castle. But yeah, just keep it in mind. Something fully on the Internet would be the best. Maybe a Muslim 4chan. Haha... I love 4chan, but too much degeneracy. Or maybe something that blocked haram, yeah.

I think there are addons on chrome which block seks sites and things like that on chrome and firefox

But that seems like a good idea

Webapps can also easily become regular apps these days.

And yeah you're right kaizer it's not because someone already has the idea that we can't make it we would just do it andcompete with them

as for a muslim 4chan there's a muslim board on 8chan you kno https://8ch.net/islam/index.html they dont allow haram pics but it's not very very much active

I don't think there is a lot of money in blocking haram though. Unless we make some sort of easy way to set up such blocks on WiFi. Should be possible as a webapp, no? At least people who don't know a lot would likely want a easy way to do it to keep their children from haram. Can be scary to go into the admin page for the wireless router.

For people who don't know a lot. Make a general easy-to-use interface that keeps updated with the local routers. Maybe.

Yes I see what you mean, easy-to-use so that it may be accessible to most people, and I'm sure there's a way to do what you're saying like trying to check network traffick and blocking if the target website is blacklisted or something, but how could we make money from this ? Using ads ? Or making it a paid application ? Or adding a premium option ?

Hmm... Wouldn't seem like a good way to get cash. What about a variant of shopify that integrates well with tons of payment options. Even crypto. People are always looking for a easy to use shop and we could provide a limited free version. Cool templates and that sort of thing. And maybe a amazon/etsy-style shop front that includes the products people add on their own small websites? Amazon is a good business with pretty much no competition.

Why not

I got to say you're creative I don't know how you find so much good ideas

Before I became Muslim I was a professional artist. After becoming Muslim I started studying engineering. But I can still easily make my mind wander and then suddenly go "that's not a bad idea". I still paint as a hobby, but engineering pays way more than art.

So wanna make a shopify variant?

Sure man why not, and damn that's beautiful, you did that ?

I recall last time you wrote that you studied engineering because Islam required you to be the provider and being an artist didn't make enough money right ?

Making a Shopfiy variant is a good idea but I don't have any experience in security with accounts and passwords, I did host a MySQL Server once with a database and a website with register and login, passwords weren't encrypted tho so I could see it in plain text when registered

but that shouldn't be a problem tho I guess that's how you learn

Yeah I painted that. Just sketching it took 40+ hours and I sprayed chemicals on it so that it didn't rub off when I painted on top. But the chemicals was for coal and not color pen that I used so the sketch melted off and I almost ruined the whole sketch and had to redo most of it. Ever since then I started sketching on computer and print it out on canvas because it is a pain and a lot more work than it looks. Can't see the sketch with paint on top. I did it because of the money yes. I don't have experience with security either. We need to give clear roles and responsibilities. But both should probably keep security in mind. It is integral and if we have problems with it then the company is ruined.

Have you used Trello? Slack? Any project management tools you like? Have you used git?

Nope I've never used those because never did a really serious project, as I told you when I program it's mostly hobby and messing around, I do have a github account tho but I don't really use it

Here's a project I programmed months ago but abandonned since then, it was a prototype for a tile-based game, it was web-based so in JavaScript

I have managed to do infinite procedural generation and multiplayer so it was synchronized with a server

Used perlin noise to generate mountains (not shown on this screenshot tho)

I have been in projects, but never really started one. You made a game, that is great. Have you used git? It has a learning curve, but is fantastic for collaboration projects. Www.udacity.com has a free course in how to use git where you learn 99.999% of what you will ever use. (which is about 1% of what git can do). I feel we should use Trello and Slack. Trello is free forever and great to create tasks that need to be done and so on.

and here's a screenshot of another project I did but abandonned it was basically like minecraft you know cubes, 3D using OpenGL, this one wasn't web-based it was in C++ i basically wanted to make my own MineAutist game but then after 6 months (of course with not much time because school) i realized it was too big and I should try again latter with more experience in programming because you kno using bare OpenGL, no graphic engine/game engine making everything yourself is huge, take lots of time

No never used git

Just made an account tho

but nothing in it

Alright i'll check it

For this one generating chunks was really complicated, my biggest challenge was optimizing time so that chunks would generate as fast as possible

Git makes the job much easier. You will see how useful it is and if you are ever going to work with programming then I bet it is pretty much required to know at least one version control system. Git is the most popular.

Alright I will try to test it out a bit and mess with it just to learn before seriously using it then

Your games look like good attempts. When we make a shopify variant then we need to make a 'minimum viable product'. So there is a bit of planning before we can start working. The git course is relatively short and you learn pretty much everything you need.

Git is great in case I mess up and delete important code, save and then upload it to the repository or to see why something stopped working between versions and many other things. Will save us months of work between versions.

Mhm alright it's very complete has lots of features, I remember there was a system with "forks" or something where you could make sort of alternative versions and the remerge it with the main version latter on

What should we call the project? Even a project codename that we can call the trello board and repository. Yes, git is super complete (and complex) and the people who made it were very bright people. You will be amazed the more you learn about it.

There are other things like Mercurial which is easier to learn, but is less supported by online repositories.

Hmmm we could choose a name which includes the word "Shop" or "Store" and modify it a bit but without making it too similar to "Shopify"

And I see you know a lot about the subject, since you're a data scientist and all that I guess you previously worked in big projects ? With teams, using github ?
