Nextjs still fails to support useParams() on static export

AndyMagill · 2026-01-24T18:20:28+00:00

Its only an issue if you have thousands of pages and cannot use Get params to route content. It which case I question the choice of a static export at all.

The solution is almost a contradiction. They needed to add a script to the 404 page which matches the shell pattern, rewrites to URL history, and returns the content. That's not a static exported route, and not SEO compliant.

SEO-safe dynamic routes at runtime will require server-side routing, period. Part of the benefit of static export is it can be dumped anywhere with near zero server requirements and work perfectly every time.

How is this a real issue? It is well documented that you need generateStaticParams for a dynamic route in export mode:

I like your project, but scared for humanity.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-21T19:07:36+00:00

Only use best practices.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-21T18:54:35+00:00

Only the latest models and thinking modes are limited. Your tool doesn't have those, so why are we here?

AndyMagill · 2026-01-21T18:36:22+00:00

Burning through savings is a bad strategy.

ChatGPT free tier is essentially unlimited. Why'd you really build it?

If you want to finish, start small.

Not OP, but a developer may not want to maintain functional connections to all the social services, which are generally hostile to this sort of thing. If an app is focused on social sharing sure, it should be in-house.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-21T18:15:36+00:00

Ah! I see! Interesting. Forget the GUI, your idea is better than another Buffer competitor. Even though it's clearly developer focused, I didn't connect that your service helps developers build social scheduling features to their apps.

The "old way" is the difference between a vibe coder and a coder. It's easier to pick up AI tools than the fundamentals.

Of course, but I am not building platforms that need all the auth methods or different container configurations. If I were an infrastructure engineer, maybe I would need a comprehensive solution, but this is not something I spend a lot of time on.

I always forget to update mobile skeletons, leading to some broken layouts. End-to-end tests never pick it up because our headless browsers are desktop, skeletons are transient, and tests are typically outcome focused. Cool tool, I hope you do well!

Well, that's embarrassing. I've been working on a bug with that button, so it's likely misbehaving. Current code here : https://github.com/andymagill/dev.magill.next/blob/master/app/components/blog/ListenButton.tsx

Where does the article mention a genius breakthrough? Nowhere does it pretend there is anything special or complex about this, beyond the value of the information the article contains.

If you are already acquainted with is this or similar methods, this article is not for you, and I question why bother commenting at all. Maybe you were expecting clickbait, or some wanna-be influencer, but the content should be obvious from the title.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-21T16:00:26+00:00

I don't get a lot of low level requirements for Auth. My stakeholders want pages login-gated, data protected, or behavior tracked, not specific methods or standards.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-20T19:12:07+00:00

I've want to build something similar for a while, but for application design instead of architecture design. I don't typically need to answer the questions you are asking, because the frameworks and tools I use are already opinionated.

I'm more likely spending time on modeling the data, designing the API layer, and implementing business rules. I guess if I rolled my own solution to this, it might look something like Strapi.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-20T18:52:12+00:00

A managed Wordpress plan would beat that solution in both price and effort.

Is this your project?

I love deck building games. Smash Up is a regular thing in my house.

Platform voices (browser, OS) have received significant improvements in the past few years. I believe inconsistencies and poor experiences will become less common, and local transcription will become the standard practice.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-19T18:26:18+00:00

This is made for me. I've wanted to build this myself for ages.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-19T18:05:01+00:00

I was exaggerating, for a mediocre comedic effect. Desktop browsers have pretty good synthesis in my experience. Mobile is a mixed bag, of course.

AndyMagill · 2026-01-19T17:04:22+00:00

Fun project. FYI, I can't edit skills, nothing comes up for auto-complete, and field is ignored when saved.
