I've noticed that on Facebook I can do facebook.com/firstname.lastname but twitter does not allow this.
I can not use dots, I have to use twitter.com/firstnamelastname.
Dots make it more readable plus I want all my public profiles to be the same. I don't want to use the allowed underscore ( _ )
As far as URLs go, dots hold no special value so I don't understand why they are forbidden.
This question was also asked on quora.com with out an answer here
There is not a technical reason not to allow dots in the URL as they are a valid character.
From a user experience perspective it is a poor choice as it limits the user unnecessarily.
The simple answer is because someone decided to do it this way. It might be that their framework doesn't allow for dots, or it might be that the developer decided that this charset (alphanumerics + underscore) is enough. In the end, no one but the original developer will have a proper answer, but most probably it was just an arbitrary choice.

I am facing one issue. My whole website digits change to "…" dots. Example if there is "123", it changes to "…".
Here is my deployed application: https://ezylegal.in/legal-consultation
On mobile view
It is showing 100 lawyers online. But I am checking user experience using Microsoft clarity. It is showing "…" dots on user phone.
Example
https://clarity.microsoft.com/shared/recording/746798c1-ed2b-4171-8371-5d024d65f176
Any suggestion why it is showing dots?
It’s because Microsoft Clarity hides all sensitive data by default (or the data it thinks is sensitive). It’s called masking content.
Clarity masks all sensitive content on your website by default. The sensitive content includes all input box content, numbers, and email addresses. Clarity doesn't capture masked content.
So it will include any numbers on your page by default. More information about (un)masking content and the source of the quote above, you can find on the Clarity docs.

I am building a web page dedicated to explaining Math and other topics. I'd like to animate the process of doing certain mathematical steps like adding numbers and solving an equation. I know I can create an animated .gif but this comes with the draw back of having to find some way of drawing the symbols in a picture or maybe exporting a LaTeX rendering, etc. I'm wondering if there is some more programmable, systematic solution.
Suppose for concreteness that I want to animate the solution to 2(x-1)=10 and then several other similar equations, and the process of dividing 123 by 45.
For some context, I have some decent but non-pro skills with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, other C-like languages, Python, and similar stuff.
What I'd do (this is broad) is take the input of each number or symbol a person types and moves them to a specific area on a canvas with JavaScript. For example, every time a person enters in a number it will move that input into a small box or something. From there you can just use the symbols to add/subtract/multiply etc. If you wanted to make this smooth so that it goes in multiple steps you could always you the setTimeout function with JavaScript so it shows each part of the equation step by step. Also an added tip would be to check on websites that have similar functions like Cymath
I will choose Canvas with HTML5 and Javascript to create the animations, the good point with Canvas is that you have full control of pixels, the cons is that you will have to deal with all the stuff to create and render every single function.

I am in initial stages of creating a public website with client-side rendering using AngularJS. I've read in many forms that dynamic generated content won't be indexed by Google. Is there any way to go forward without affecting search engine indexing and ranking or should I shift to the conventional development ?
My client want it to be done in AngularJS. So I just wanna make sure that there is no workaround before I start convincing them.
Googlebot can now process JavaScript so you don't need to do anything to make that content accessible to Google
You can also use a service like prerender.io or built your own pre-rendered version by using tools like PhantomJS.
Here is a nice article about AngularJS SEO with PhantomJS:

I have one/many HTML inputs that are to be used for URL entry
<input></input>
<input></input>
What I would like is: When an entry is made, then http:// is stripped from the beginning of that input. For example if http://google.com is entered then it becomes google.com in the input instead.
How does one go about achieving this with Javascript (or jQuery)? I haven't tried anything because I don't know where to begin. Pointers to documentation and/or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Get the value of the input and use regexp to replace http:// from the value.
$('input').change( function() {
var input = $('input');
input.val(
$('input').val().replace(/https?:\/\//gi,'')
);
});
DEMO
UPDATE
Xotic750 has a fiddle with 6 different methods for removing http://
http://jsfiddle.net/Xotic750/kyKsK/
I also updated my code to support the possibility of https:// as well.

Currently Chrome navigates to http://site.com/#!/search/search%20terms when searching directly from the Omnibar. Is there a way to have it navigate to http://site.com/#!/search/search terms instead? (One does not normally escape hash fragments)

One usually does. Raw spaces are not allowed in URLs.
