What would you use a Serverless API for???

[@codexed-i]

An app for my friends on school?

[@hikari1690]

Just for fun 🤣

[@codexed-i]

@@hikari1690 good idea!

[@JamesQQuick]

This is amazing!!

[@brianmmdev]

Thank you 😁

[@carolezuleger6924]

Awesome video!

[@brianmmdev]

Thank you 😊

[@carolezuleger6924]

Awesome!

[@GuillermoArellano]

Hi Brian. A suggestion; please increase the font size of your vs code editor. It’s hard to see the small text. Take care.

[@brianmmdev]

Noted, I have it larger than usual but thanks for the feedback. Ill bump it up a bit for future videos.

[@benedictmoeti5162]

what he said ⬆️⬆️⬆️, but besides that great video

[@DedicatedManagers]

Great video! Are you from Chicago? Sounds like you have a Chicago accent 🧐

[@brianmmdev]

Haha I am actually! Good catch 🤣

[@DedicatedManagers]

@@brianmmdev I grew up in Wisconsin but all my family is from Chicago... so I usually know when I hear it! Btw: I saw another channel do a poll about music in the background for the entire video. I I didn’t see the final results but I can tell you i’m good with it during the intro, but for the whole video it drives my Aspergers (my wife thinks I’m Aspy) crazy!

[@brianmmdev]

That makes sense 😁 And thanks for the tip! I’ll have to see if I can get some data on that too. I was on the fence when I decided to start adding a track to the entire video actually for reasons like this. Wasn’t sure if it’d be too distracting

[@jaxenvisuals1582]

Love the vs code theme. What theme did you use please?

[@brianmmdev]

Hey sorry for the late reply. I use Monokai Vibrant, have been for years.

[@AsifMehedi]

This channel is ridiculously undersubscribed.

[@brianmmdev]

Appreciate it 😁

[@chi-hanlin13]

Hi brian thanks for the content, and I'm currently working on a django rest API/react project, i deployed it on netlify successfully but the backend just wont work. is it possible for you to have a tutorial based on hosting an existing API with netlify? its quite urgent thank you so much.

[@brianmmdev]

As far as I know, Netlify Functions only supports JavaScript/TypeScript & Go.

[@chi-hanlin13]

@@brianmmdev thank you!

[@danielbolajoko442]

i'm currently also having problem making my api work on netlify. I built a movie search app with react and called a omdb api which has a key, works fine on my local host, but when deployed on netlify, the api doesnt work. I'm actually frustrated

[@chi-hanlin13]

@@danielbolajoko442 yea sorry I guess that's just how it is, mine didn't work out eventually but i showcased my work locally and explained the reason to teachers so, all the best

[@danielbolajoko442]

@@chi-hanlin13 it eventually worked and i feel so stupid...all along it wasn't working because i didn't insert an id inside my api link, though i doesnt have a backend. I already started learning django, how would you describe its popularity?

[@kingkangkan]

aaaaaw!

[@AllenIve3]

Please use zoom to zoom in the part you write the code… half of the screen is empty so you can zoom so that we can see. 80% of people are on their phone

[@brianmmdev]

I'll keep this in mind in the future, thanks!

[@juniorfixhow1566]

Are u really teaching or u are just showing your codes.....? Nonsense btw

[@fredneilson8904]

literally. it's just like he's talking to himself, he's not actually teaching the topic
