To avoid contacts, restaurants are now using QR Codes to allow their customers to consult the menu. The PDF format To start with, you'll need the menu in PDF format. The "PDF" format is a standard format that can be read on any device, iOS or Android, so using the PDF format means you won't have any compatibility problems with your customers' phones. It's also possible to have a simple web page, but since that's more difficult to achieve, stick to a PDF format, which you should already ha...

Instagram has become a must-have social network, with 18-24 year olds spending an enormous amount of time on it and ... like all social networks its business model is to capture and resell attention. In this article, I propose a non-exhaustive list of ideas for improving your presence on this network. Put keywords in your account name and display name Instagram's search engine doesn't use the data in the "bio" to find a user, it only uses the data in the account name and display name, so...

Hey there! 🙂 To read this article, you use a software, this software is so present in your life that now, for you it seems "part of the scenery". I'm talking, of course, about your browser 😛. Over the last ten years, we're not going to lie to ourselves, there's been one all-category champion who's been raking in all the market share, well, especially on the "desktop", I'm talking of course about Google Chrome. On mobile, this is less true, with Apple forcing the use of...

I thought it would be interesting to write an article on the subject now that I've set up a Messenger bot for my Boréales Créations Facebook page. What is a Messenger bot? You've created a robot? It's your fault, isn't it Skynet? Well, not yet anyway. Here the Messenger bot is simply used to answer for you when people, prospects, customers write to you on your Facebook page. 😃 You know what it's like when you're busy, you don't necessarily check all the notificat...

Hey there. How are you? Good, not too cold? so much the better! This week's article is for my fellow developers, and we're going to talk about search ... but real search! I often see MYSQL used as a search engine ... It's a fact! In the projects I've worked on, I've often seen this database management system (or MariaDB or Postgresql) used as a search engine, with things like "where my_attribute LIKES '%blabla%". And this is a very bad practice... What's the real use of a relational...

Hello 🙂 Lately we've been talking about Turbo and iOS, and about making PWAs installable. This article is the continuation of those two articles (well, more the one on iOS), so I invite you to skim it, because even if the two systems are quite different, the principle is the same. The application in production As always, the app we're going to talk about is the one I use every time I want to test new technologies. As I write these lines, it's available on the Google Play Store....

Hello there, This week's article comes from an observation I made recently. Before, in Chrome, when you visited a site that offered OpenSearch, it automatically added it to the browser's search engines, so all you had to do was type "a keyword" + space and start searching directly from the browser's omnibox. This browser behavior has recently changed (perhaps for the better, as it prevents anything and everything from being added to the browser). Now, in Chromium (and therefore Chrome and...

Hey there folks 😁. Thanks for clicking on this article, shall we dive back into technical stuff? Are you up for it? In any case, I hope you'll enjoy it. So, how are you doing? I'm in great shape! You know Caddy, it's a modern web server, written in Go (yes yes, that compiled language that generates static binaries...). Well today, we're going to tinker with its PHP wrapper, FrankenPHP. By the way, just a little info, the fact that FrankenPHP uses Caddy gives us access to...
