I am trying out Meteor, and every time I create and run a web app the url is localhost:3000; How do i change this url to whatever I want it to be?
for example, what would i do if I wanted the url of my web app to be www.gravity.com(random example)
Also, if I make a web app with meteor how do I add it to the chrome app store?
And finally, are there any good website to download free css website design templates?
* Sorry if I am asking a lot of "basic" questions, I have just started using meteor and I'm kind of a noob
When you make an app with meteor, you're making it on a local host. This means that the app is not up and running for everyone to see-- if someone else types in localhost:3000 from a different computer, your app will not pop up.
The easiest way to change this is to deploy with meteor--- meteor allows you to deploy to a website hosted on .meteor.com.
So if you want your url to be gravity.meteor.com, simply go to your project directory, and type
meteor deploy gravity.meteor.com
If that name isn't taken, you or anyone else can access your app there.
However, if you do not want it to say ".meteor.com", and instead just want www.gravity.com, you need to buy access to the domain www.gravity.com, and then deploy your app using a different method. You can buy a domain name from sites like godaddy.com. This is significantly harder than just deploying through .meteor.com. If that's something you want to do, here's a good tutorial on deploying using digital ocean.

I have a Vue.js app and use Firebase Hosting to serve the static files to users.
Does Firebase Hosting have a method for putting the app into maintenance mode remotely? Without having to do firebase deploy
Maybe something that will allow me to redirect all the traffic to some other index.html, and be able to manage it from Firebase.
P.S. I've already looked into Firebase Remote Config (and it doesn't fit my use case, and their web related tools aren't fully implemented yet). And I'd like to avoid having a realtime database just for maintenance mode.
There is no mode-switch built into Firebase Hosting for temporarily serving other content.
But given the recent updates to deploy efficiency, it should be pretty low-cost to put up a temporary index.html while making the changes. Alternatively, you could deploy rules (in firebase.json) that temporarily redirect all traffic to a wip.html (for work-in-progress).
Which of these works best, depends on your current content structure. I.e. if you already redirect "all" traffic to index.html, I'd probably go with a rewriting solution.
You can also unroll your last deploy in one command.
Deploy maintenance page
Unroll when its done

I created sample "Projects" app (Welcome Tutorial) using App Maker . I deployed the app and clicked on publish. How can I share it with my friends outside my domain ?
My domain is mahajiban.org , how someone with email id at gmail (outside my domain) can use it ?
I am not able to download apk file also. How to find the apk file so that others can install it in my mobile?
Thanks
Subhadip
App Maker applications are restricted within the domain. Only users in the same domain can edit or access the applications.
The App Maker only creates web apps, no mobile apps, at this time. However, you can export your application and install it in another domain.
You will also need to turn on AppMaker per organization or across the whole domain
I'm trying to figure how how/if it's possible to add a blog to a subfolder on an existing azure site.
BlogEngine seems like it would be a good choice since it's written in .net and from what I've read easy to setup as a standalone site on azure.
The problem I'm running into now is how can I setup my sub folder /blog as an application in azure. I know locally you can just pull up IIS and rightclick -> convert to application. But is there something I could put in the web.config or publish settings that would achieve the same thing?
Right now I'm getting an error message because /blog has it's own web.config file.
If there's an easier way or I'm thinking about this wrong let me know that too :-)
Thanks,
Andrew
EDIT
I contacted azure supported and they suggested I upgrade from a azure web site to a azure VM.
At this time there isn't a good way to run a full fledged blog engine side by side with an azure website without setting up a VM.
I ended up pulling from a google blogger blog using their data API. Not exactly what I was wanting to due but I couldn't take on the extra cost associated with a VM solution.
I´m new in Flex.
I'm trying to develop a Web Application integrated with Facebook.
I´m using Flash Builder 4.5 and the Adobe Facebook SDK.
The problem is that to test the application I need to upload the files to my webserver to avoid the facebook error.
I guess this is because Facebook only allows to run the application inside the domain that informed at my app page on Facebook.
Someone knows how can I test the application locally?
Best, Flávio
One way to test your application is to create a copy of your app on Facebook (i.e. register a new application), but set it up to point to localhost (i.e. your local development server). This will let Facebook send all the login redirects back to your local webserver rather than your current 'live' website.
It would help if you install a localhost webserver on your machine so you can run code locally. This will allow you to test your files on your own machine rather than having to upload them every time.
Set up a local web server (I like Apache, but IIS will work). with a virtual server and give it the same domain name as your production server. Use a hosts file to point the domain back to your own server.
You can also use Charles to record the web traffic, then build mock services that will provide that information.
I would like to create a sandbox area on my hosting provider that only the client can see. For example the production website would be at www.domain.com. However, would it be possible to create a sandbox version of the website at www.domain.com/sandbox and only provide access to the client?
If so, what is the best method? Do I manually have to create a login page etc in the sandbox folder? Or, can I publish the test website in the sandbox area and restrict access through my hosting provider?
Generally a sandbox/staging/test version of your production site would be a complete duplicate of your production deployment, not just the login page.
You'd have a separate copy of the application and the database, and then serve it via another hostname/IP address or on an entirely different machine.
For instance, you could have www.domain.com and test.domain.com, each with the own isolated version of the software. This way your client can play as much as they want in the sandbox without fear of damaging the production environment.
To restrict access you could use access control lists in IIS to restrict the sandbox to a specific ip address (or range), or enable basic support on it with a username/password required security.
