    Cognito Hosted UI User Pool – Google not showing

    Hi everyone, I’m implementing Cognito User Pools for an app and currently adding social providers (Google, Facebook, etc). The setup process seems pretty straight forward, however the social options did not appear on my hosted ui. It turned out that I’d missed the last step in the documentation: – Go to “App Client Settings” (left…

  • Request Denied – react-geocode

    Hi everyone, I’m currently testing react-geocode but hit a “request denied” error after providing my API key.

    Well, today I was looking through the Google Analytics overview of the WhatIBroke.com and I noticed a referral I hadn’t seen before from link.smartscreen.live.com.
