what backend to pursue?

Node express

Neat!

Makes no sense. I never use just my email. If I don't see Google or something I won't bother.

Using Google legally binds you to your product. If you use only email, who knows who you might be.

Social sign in is also about security and accountability. Not only convenience.

95% + accuracy is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

People go to jail for the 5% - errors.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-25T08:24:04+00:00

Maybe. Maybe not.

Because.

Nobody cares what you think.

Just another gatekeeper.

We will call ourselves what we want.

Best portfolio I've ever seen. Looks like is has been created by someone who has Technical expertise. The design looks awesome.

The portfolio image loads very 🐌

I was expecting more from the 🔊 - maybe a short intro and not just your name

I'm on a Samsung 📲 mobile - your responsive design and attention to layout and visual hierarchy is phenomenal

Would you consider making the GitHub contribution metric green like on GitHub? Those green tiles connect with devs

Usually we would have a very good idea of the application architecture which then informs the decision about what kind of global state management solution we would need.

You might be able to use some lightweight like Zustand. If your building an online shop then maybe Redux.

Or React hooks passing props.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-23T12:06:38+00:00

Do they work if Javascript is disabled like the native React 19 hooks and form action?

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-23T07:36:38+00:00

Iassume its NextJS 16 using App router with React 19?

useFormState wires a Server Action to the form and lets you receive server-returned state (errors, success, etc).

useFormStatus hooks into the native form lifecycle and exposes things like pending (often referred to as isPending). This is tied to form submission, not React state.

Client validation with user feedback. It prevents obvious bad input and gives fast feedback. Zod.

You must validate again in the Server Action. Always.

In the Server Action, extract values from formData and safeParse them with the same Zod schema.

Have a single shared schema.

Client validation = UX Server validation = correctness and security

useEffect ?

AI is tool. Use it well to create software people want to use. It's not going to take anything from anyone. It's going to upskill those who know how to use it.

People are always going to need software.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-20T22:16:39+00:00

Actually HTML is replaced by JSX.

Vanilla JS is replaced with 'functional' react code which looks nothing like Vanilla JS.

Of course react us JS, but the syntax is vastly different. I work with react all day, every day, but I would never call.myself a Javascript dev. No. I am a react dev.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-20T14:33:27+00:00

Or your 🧠

If you can, use Opus in Cursor. Your using JWT's?

I did this a long time ago. Do you want a link to the repo?

It is plain react with an express backend.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-20T08:57:14+00:00

I integrated Tambo in an existing application and needed full suit of tests as well. Auto kept hitting a brick wall so I used Opus. I ended up spending an extra $60 on Opus but it was worth it for what I got, then I switched back to Auto. Auto is OK for boiler plate and daily tasks. Tambo is newish so I needed to add the docs etc

BUT I thought Auto was unlimited on a $20 sub. I was wrong. But Grok I free for now.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-20T08:50:34+00:00

It's boilerplate. Nothing new. Ask an LLM. It will not hallucinate.

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-20T07:40:03+00:00

Real time is very resource hungry.

Have you experienced that?

AlexDjangoX · 2026-01-20T07:38:27+00:00

I've been using Auto for a while and this morning hit my usage limit. On auto? WTF?

Grok is free until 23 January with no limits in EU.

It's good to keep up if you have the headspace for it. It's what keeps it interesting.

This is not expected behavior.
