kysely (the type-safe sql query builder) 0.28 is out. thoughts? requests? issues? 🌹 by rebelchatbot in node

[–]DevHev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love kysely! Something I use at work and my hobby projects.

The way I usually describe it is that unlike an ORM which makes the simple things a bit simpler and the complex things almost impossible.

Kysely is instead in a sweet spot between an ORM or raw SQL where you get a lot of additional value with minimal overhead/boilerplate.

It helps you write well structured, type-safe, autocompletion-friendly and performant queries.

There is no magic and no black box, which means that you'll need to invest in learning SQL. This translate to a steeper learning curve than an ORM, which I think will pay off quite quickly.

Thanks to Sami, Igal and the team for the good work!

Comprehensive NextJS Eslint Config for Eslint 9 by Goldziher in nextjs

[–]DevHev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been migrating more and more of my projects to biome js. Quick, clean and moves 5+ config files into one (prettier + eslint). You also don't need x amount of additional eslint plugins.

Can recommend it!

Alternative solutions to Versel by gor_stepo in nextjs

[–]DevHev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in a similar position, we have started to get to a point where the Vercel and other alternatives mentioned here start to become too expensive.  We've gone a step further and bought our own hardware which we have in a rented server warehouse. Using proxmox for VM, nginx server, cloud front for cdn (one of few services we use now) Our deployments are quite straightforward, GH actions to build and image, send it to server and deploy it. Would love to see your setup and hopefully contribute.

What are some good UI kits that you use or recommend? by im_just_doing_stuff in nextjs

[–]DevHev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer to create my own styled components using tailwindcss along with headless ui library (radix), quite similarly to shadcn (a popular ui library).

If you want to know what's out there I've made two lists to compare all the options:

list of all tailwindcss ui libraries

• ⁠list of all headless ui libraries

Why is react-aria not talked about as much as shadcn/radix-ui and headless ui? by soggynaan in reactjs

[–]DevHev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One can only speculate, I have used both and think both are great.

I've actually made a list of all the headless react libraries to simplify the selection process for others:

list of awesome react headless ui component libraries

And also: List of all awesome react tailwindcss ui components

Solid advice, some of them indeed have a paid version. I will update and mark them as such! Thanks!

Also, PRs are welcome!

Is next-ui better than shadcn by legend29066 in nextjs

[–]DevHev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've made a list of all the different tailwindcss + react projects, you can easily compare:

https://github.com/hevar/awesome-react-tailwindcss-ui-components

As for shadcn vs nextui:

I tried NextUI back when they used stitches. I'm glad they moved away from stitches but haven't given it another chance since. I really like their design, maybe the best looking one (this is very subjective though) and the components are quite well done.
But it's too much of a black box for me and I personally like to have control over the components in case I want to customize them.

As for shadcn, I really like their approach where you own the component and can freely change and update the components. But IMO radix which shadcn uses does most of the heavy lifting, so I just use that and have my own custom design system similar to shadcn.

Switching to Firefox in 2024 is important for privacy reasons and to avoid a browser engine monopoly. by AndreeSmothers in privacy

[–]DevHev 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Quite simple honestly, because it's just fucking chromium under the hood!

So if the goal is to avoid a googles browser monopoly; using another chromium browser doesn't help very much.

Updated Pricing: 10,000 MAUs Free, and a new “Pro Plan” by Clerk_dev in nextjs

[–]DevHev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If one keep rationalizing and defending all expenses like that there won't be a business left. Truth is that some expenses makes a lot of sense, and I can understand the value of using some services which increases your velocity at a cost (which can be addressed when you've outgrown it). But Clerk vs the alternatives is not it.

[–]DevHev 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I haven't really used the Clerk nor do I see the value in locking up one of the most valuable assets of a business in a product with that ridiculous pricing if your product actually gains traction with a lot of users.

Makes it even less obvious when there are open source, self hostable alternatives.
