C : Hi, I will send you the minor fixes with new images soon. Can you update for me?

Me : Yes sure.

C : We would also like to launch the website tomorrow.

Me : Oh cool. Then I'll connect it to the live domain after the updates.

C : My boss also likes to press a button and launch the website....

Me : ... umm ...

some customers will want a button that will bring them coffee

I'm now planning to put a one time splash screen or a pop-up over the website. 🤷

@tinybyte you're wrong
Everyone want that

@CurseMeSlowly that's a hilarious fix. So useless, but if it makes the boss happy....

@Vip3rDev yeah 🤷 I give up on explaining certain things

So just to confirm... He wants a button to launch the website? Like the start button to launch the start menu?

@dr-ant he wanna press something to launch the start of his website. So yeah like start button or power button 🤷

@potluck I haven't thought of this. You sir are very smart. 👀

"How about you press your fingers into your rectum?"

Is it too much?

@potluck he is probably a bit familiar with the F5 function. I know he uses email and stuffs.

So I'm just gonna use a tiny bit of JavaScript and create a splash screen with big red "Launch Website" button. 🤔 Said button and splash screen will disappear after pressing once.

Of course I'm gonna have to quickly delete that chunk of code after like 9:35. Because they wanna launch at 9:30.

@azous I don't think he will be happy with that if his rectum is not in a button shape 🤔

Lol even though the wish seems illiterate, I can't help admiring the idea. The ego must be big on him. The guy under him is also pandering to it. 😁
I like your idea of the splash screen. Maybe add a countdown timer too? 😁

I imagine they'll be ready with a touchscreen and a champagne. 😁

@CurseMeSlowly keep us updated if that worked

If you want to solve this mistery check out envoyer where you can have a deploy url attached to your repo.

Then you can build a bigass launch button site ( on a launch.yoursite.domain ) with sounds, countdown and a disco sphere or whatever shit your client needs then request that url and that site is gonna deployed in about 1 minute.

I personally would handle the management of the pre deployed / deployed state in the env file where you can pull the strings in the background and it would change with the deploy.

Happy coding!

Yayyy website successfully launched at 10:30am local time. 🕺

Two div. 1 unsplash image. 1 button with on click. Few JavaScript lines. 😛

@CurseMeSlowly No champagne?

@dr-ant don't know man. I wasn't invited to their ceremony :( I quietly deleted my Special Launch Module code from my office.

@CurseMeSlowly oh well.
Maybe next time.
