Locking it behind a CSS blur effect? lol ok.

Looks like a fantastic opportunity and product. I'll share it!
Brilliant, going to try it asap. I was looking for something like this!
Re:How Dependabot Actually Works on Thursday January 08, 2026 @02:29AM (#46538286)
I hate it with passion. It won't respect pinned versions in package.json. I have to explicitly exclude stuff. Be better.
Re:It's 2026 now. Is Webpack 6.x going to happen? on Sunday January 04, 2026 @06:43AM (#46487062)
Nothing wrong with jQuery. If a dev dependency irks me, I have no reason to revisit it no matter how better it got. We moved on.
Re:It's 2026 now. Is Webpack 6.x going to happen? on Sunday January 04, 2026 @04:12AM (#46486333)
Any release will definitely not restore Webpack as the "first choice". That ship has sailed and Webpack has accumulated a lot of bad rep.

Maybe for a few people who used to run Webpacker in Rails, and migrated to shakapacker instead of Vite, it will be good news.

When a tool like this (which was never pleasant to work with) loses the lead, it never restores it.

Noob question, but why no use ints for PK, and UUIDs for a public_id field?

They haven't implemented RSC yet.
Re:Why I Chose Elixir Phoenix over Rails, Laravel, and Next.js on Thursday October 16, 2025 @11:07AM (#45606329)
The post is mostly about Phoenix LiveView, while the title makes it about the framework.

To be honest one of the reasons I don't like Phoenix is that even if I opt-out of LV in the generators, I still get a lot of LV code.

Re:TanStack Start v1 Release Candidate on Wednesday September 24, 2025 @08:53AM (#45359607)
I have only good things to say about TanStack start. I know there's some fatigue when it comes to full-stack JS/TS frameworks, since they re-invent ways to do data fetching, but are not in any way batteries-included.

I prefer it over Next.js and the whole RSC story, and it has sensible features that I missed in Remix (server functions from everywhere [1], middleware, type safety)

I wouldn't pick it as a full-stack framework, I will always keep my backend separate, but for a SSR-capable TypeScript framework it's amazing.

Any good book recommendations?

Try having a healthy relationship, kids, responsibilities, work, and some form of hobbies. If I don't write my thoughts, ideas, whatever, I lose the ball.
Re:Next.js 15.1 is unusable outside of Vercel on Thursday June 12, 2025 @07:56AM (#44256658)
I tried various astro sites, and as a user, a few things keep bugging me. - Visit their docs https://docs.astro.build/en/basics/astro-pages/ - Click `Routes` in the navigation

Now: 1. There's a flicker in the content where the sidebar moves on the left 2. The title displays `docs.astro.build` for a split second before it says "Routing | Docs"

Especially the second is quite annoying. I see it in every Astro site.

Re:Next.js 15.1 is unusable outside of Vercel on Thursday June 12, 2025 @07:10AM (#44256267)
Well, they have consistent naming for a start.
Re:Next.js 15.1 is unusable outside of Vercel on Thursday June 12, 2025 @07:09AM (#44256258)
The best way to ship React to production is with Vite. It opens up tons of options (Tanstack, RR, Simple SPA, whatever) and you don't even bring the hosting provider into the discussion.
Re:Next.js 15.1 is unusable outside of Vercel on Thursday June 12, 2025 @06:39AM (#44256038)
Another follow-up. Some libraries[1] started to break from 15.1.8 onwards, so you had to downgrade to the vulnerable versions the author mentioned as well.

Re:Next.js 15.1 is unusable outside of Vercel on Thursday June 12, 2025 @06:32AM (#44255992)
Oof. I'm sure Vercel might patch this issue. But I had had enough of these little annoyances. For example, the documented way to identify prefetches in the middleware has been broken for weeks (months?).

A lot of small issues that keep adding up. I'm not going to shill something else here, but I have a bit of Next.js fatigue lately. Still love the JS ecosystem though.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this up!

Re:Wake Up, Remix on Wednesday May 28, 2025 @10:24AM (#44116348)
The original title is `Wake up, Remix!` with an exclamation mark. Now it reads more like "Come on now Remix.."

Let's wait for the team to announce this, instead of going for draft posts please.

Re:The One-Person Framework in Practice on Wednesday April 30, 2025 @03:33AM (#43842224)
There's no login/register/reset/forget pages generated. Neither their controllers. Only some basic middleware for that.
Re:The One-Person Framework in Practice on Tuesday April 29, 2025 @10:21AM (#43833087)
Is there a 1st party auth package? I can't remember any - They were guiding you to the adoniscasts videos, which some are paid. Very hard to get traction like this.
Re:The One-Person Framework in Practice on Tuesday April 29, 2025 @06:22AM (#43830706)
It's part of the success. There's a reason you don't hear similar 1-person stories with Express.
Re:The One-Person Framework in Practice on Tuesday April 29, 2025 @06:18AM (#43830685)
I found the lack of 1st party auth system annoying. Phoenix, for example gives me a nice starting point (even magic links soon). Adonis for all its features, turns me to what I hate. The JS auth implementations.
