This shows a quite limited understanding of what FE development (and product design) entails these days. But, it's sort of true if you don't build anything interesting. Same applies to every other component of a "not interest

We are turning into a narco state, and that largely runs on cash. I don't think the measures are great or will do much, but the fact that they try to do something about it is understandable. Also I really don't care about cash, I

Supabase cli has a decent diffing option to generate migrations (not sure what they use, but it’s open source), it works quite decent for schema changes. Not as advanced as you describe though, it won’t handle your data migrations.

Letss gooo!! Supabase keeps on delivering things that I need. I am regularly surprised how bad the tooling is for SQL/databases. Especially that there is no decent formatter that supports plpgsql, and doesn't absolutely mangle you

Really confused by this.. $235K is not nearly enough to make even one of these apps. Unless they can get devs to work for free it's not happening. Also Affinity exists, their suite has basically the same apps as they claim they will bu

Fair assessment. Maybe you have found the value: it’s a library of code snippets. There is truly something to say for that, but maybe it had worked better as a documentation site (kinda ironic as their docs are not super great). > plain

Often there is still a lot of programming to do, as a lot of the use cases involve some sort of integration into a bigger systems, or you might have to process larger quantities of data which gets you into queues and for example managing ra

With peace and love, why would I not just write some code? LLM pipelines are not very complex: it's string manipulation, api calls, and storage, there is not much more too it. All are quite easy to do, often needing nothing else but th

True, you gotta respect the marketing, they definitely got that covered and actually created some real value there, a $10M seed round to be precise. I think they got the timing right and the idea is kinda alluring as well: have everything s

Coming from a frontend background this reminds me a lot of the frontend situation some years ago when it was super common to npm install the stupidest pointless packages. Of course some people still do, but hard lessons were learned and all

It depends on the project and what you are looking for. If I’m looking out of curiosity I either try to find the entry point and/or the “core” logic (the code that does the main thing the project does). But usually I’m interested in so

I agree with many points but there is definitely a need for custom scrollbars. The reality is that if you have scrolling in the page (like a column layout for example), you kinda have to customize the scrollbars. If only to not break your l

I do this for a number of services, obviously pricing needs to be reasonable. My reasoning: - I don't want to deal with upgrading, managing infra, backups, outages, security etc etc - For products I rely on it's good to pay, as th

If possible I would suggest to look at conversion metrics instead of user provided ratings. Real validation is people signing up and using your product (regularly), you can measure that. Of course reaching out to users is very valuable, it

If you don't want to use Medium or similar solutions, I would check out Ghost. Their dashboard and editor is imo one of the best out there, really easy to use. It's easy to host, works headless, and works well with Next.js and oth

Great article, it's good to read a nuanced take on a hot topic. I think the $ shows the tradeoff of reactivity. It makes updates sort of automatic which is great, until it's not. React on the other hand is a bit more explicit and

I'm not saying they have the obligation to keep the free tier, but don't expect people to stick around. Also free plans can definitely last, best example being Github. If Github would cut off free open source repos it would be ove

Nice! I think you might like it. Ah yeah, that does take a while to unpack. I think a lot of the complexity there is dealing with a non-react library and the dynamic import(s). Binding non-react libraries can be a bit rough. I do think it&#

I believe context predate hooks. You are right about error boundaries, probably should be revisited. This might be controversial but imo the lack of state management in React is a pro not a con. It means the community can innovate instead o
