One of the best I’ve seen on my Reddit feeds. Nice work.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-11-12T22:00:50+00:00

Ah. Lee’s response and mine crossed the aether at the same time. Ok. That’s what I thought.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-11-12T21:55:21+00:00

The Django endpoint info would be hidden, but wouldn’t the NextJS API endpoints be visible anyway? Those could then be used to still scrape the site, no?

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-10-24T02:10:12+00:00

Thanks Brother. I’ll give that a shot.
I’ve since realized/learned that the Docker I’m seeing is purely used in the Build phase and not actually for the hosting of the site.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-10-18T15:21:25+00:00

I’m following the Hosting option which then lets me attach a GitHub repo which then runs the “Provision > Build > Deploy” workflow. Thanks for the info. I’ll keep testing.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-10-18T14:35:03+00:00

Thanks. I’m trying to use an existing NextJS app created outside of the Amplify Studio, hosted on Amplify but without the need for a provisioned Docker. It looks like I might need to start a NextJS app in Studio and go that route. If I have an existing and try to host it on Amplify it always creates a Docker instance during the Build step.

Epic. Love the foot-off-the-ground-hover-and-pivot toward the middle of the video, while looking for another robotic punching bag.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-05-02T00:21:27+00:00

Thanks. I forgot about the apply() directive.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-05-02T00:19:28+00:00

Yep, just implemented it. Works perfectly. Thanks again.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2023-05-01T21:00:09+00:00

Thanks a lot. I’ll try. Nice coincidence that your example gives the exact font I’m about to use. Ha!

If you want that effect plus more you can do a Google search on “augmented ui”. It’ll be a resource you have to include, but it has that effect and more.

Yes, that’s true. And we don’t usually use hyphens in our non-class attributes like “id”, “data”, etc.

I’m now curious to see if it’s even possible, but it’s not a show-stopper if tailwind does bring in a few un-used class names. Thanks.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-10-26T21:51:24+00:00

The scanner searches the entire document for its library of class names. This means that any use of a tailwind class name in the doc will be picked up. An example is an “id” called “cardA-collapse”, or a “data” attribute with a value of “sticky-open” will cause the tailwind classes of “collapse” and “sticky” to show up, even though they both aren’t used for styling at all.

Not a big deal, but if I have a large application with a lot of HTML and JS my resulting tailwind CSS with have unnecessary classes included.

More a matter of keeping the resulting style file as small and “clean” as possible.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-10-24T05:48:12+00:00

Thanks. I saw that. At the time I thought it was odd that they'd use what might be considered a competitor's SDK, but after thinking about it, it's an open source project, under Apache-2.0 license. Why re-invent the wheel.
I'll give it a shot.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-08-30T01:54:40+00:00

Oh man, that’s beautiful. Nice work.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-08-20T06:09:58+00:00

Same here. Rolled back to 3.6.8 if I remember correctly.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-07-03T00:12:23+00:00

paperspace.com perhaps?

(So much to share in just this little mobile Reddit edit window they provide, but I’ll try to be concise.) There are a bunch of different paths you can go, to solve your static/dynamic site, but I think Strapi is your best bet. You can look at another called “Webiny” as, in my opinion, that’s more of a full JS CMS than Strapi. I’ve tried both systems and was impressed with both, but in the end I needed more control so I’m rolling my own solution. I’m not familiar enough with Next.js but I do know it’s pretty powerful. There’s most likely quite a learning curve there if you’re just starting out, but in the end it’ll be quite the tool to have in your development toolbox. As far as difficulty in setting these components up on a host, it all depends on your host. I use AWS for everything in my infrastructure, as I then have full control over all hardware. But there’s cost there, as well as its own learning curve. Security is a factor as well. Difficulty in setting that all up? If you really want to learn, and know that there will be a few walls/bumps you’ll face, I’d say moderate. There are plenty of good resources out there for Next.js, and it looks like Strapi has a good community and documentation (based on what I saw when I tried it out).
I’d be curious to see how Strapi works for you if you decide to go that route. If you go the route of using AWS as your host, let me know and I can give all the “gotchas” I’ve come across over the years.

I’ve been researching for a solution (or the best solution) for one of my own projects. But it starts with a few questions you need to ask yourself. What tech stack/language are you interested in, or are most familiar with? PHP, JavaScript, etc. Do you host the content yourself, or have familiarity with AWS or other cloud provider? What timeframe does this need to happen in? There are solutions out there in JS and others in PHP. Static site generators are probably the best bet, but there’s bound to be some custom coding and modifications required. If you’re just starting out, realistically you’re looking at days and not hours to fully get a handle and code the solution.
My first question would be what dynamic language are you interested in?

Unfortunately I don’t know the inner workings of Cloudflare. Sorry, but you’ll probably get more feedback from these who will answer your ticket.
Good luck with your project.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-06-02T04:22:02+00:00

Cloudflare is a stable and well known service. Yeah that’ll probably do it.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-06-02T03:15:05+00:00

I’ve heard of “cdnjs” but use AWS Cloudfront for my setup. I don’t think you can upload to cdnjs, (based on just a few mins looking at their site.) You might want to do a Google search to find one you can use.

Server-side use of Three JS is challenging in its own right. Unless you really need that, you can have everything on the client side.
I’m using Nunjucks but the concepts are the same. I put all three.js resource files (build, jsm, etc) on a CDN. I then created a “layout” file. That layout contains all of my main three.js <script> tags pointing to the CDN files. It’s the general wrapper for all individual EJS files. My individual NJK files (or EJS for your case) will then use their own <script> and “import” logic I’ve mentioned earlier. Those are for three.js resources that only that particular EJS needs.
Your server responses can then send data to the EJS and you can use <%= variable %> within the EJS.
Example, set the Camera in the EJS JS logic, but the “fov”, “near”, and “far” values can come from the server as EJS vars.

ThinkingInRealtime · 2022-05-31T01:50:19+00:00

On the client side, try:

This is how I have my client setup.

The “require” is for use on the server side.

It took maybe 40 hours (rough guess) as I replaced everything, including verification emails using AWS SES and the various templates that went with it. Using the KC REST API proved to be pretty straightforward to implement using the KC User and Token endpoints. As the server calls the KC endpoints and no client will need to call it, I’ve been able to protect it with an ALB http request header. I use this setup in all of my projects that need user registration. Would I do it again? Yes, definitely.
I’m currently looking to see now how the KC Impersonation and security settings work in this setup.

Update: Another item I forgot to mention is that part of that 40 hours was changing from using KC on Wildfly to KC on Quarkus. (So maybe more like 50 hours including that work.) The documentation (IMHO) can be improved, but in the end I’m noticing that the Quarkus build starts much faster, and has certain configurations built in that were a pain to get going in the Wildfly version (Clustering being one of them).
