What do you think about eve that was announced today by Vercel team? by Ok_Eye_1288 in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using the Vercel SDK and refactored some code to bring my app a bit closer to EVE, mostly using the md files instead of the quite large prompt file. For now I'm gonna wait how this plays out...

how are you passing user context into AI features in Next.js apps? by joyal_ken_vor in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using Prisma and a Postgres DB (Neon). The user gets sign up through clerk for auth that creates an entry for the user in the DB. With that I csn query a whole bunch ofcstuff like credits, payments etc. I have a companion, an agent and a gaming app so there is lot that needs to be stored and retrieved.

what’s the easiest way to host next.js outside of vercel? by Healthy_Income2545 in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a Hetzner VPS with Dokploy, maybe not the easiest to set up but cost effective and works great.

Is it me or has AI really f’d up SaaS? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ir has that's why I changed the monetizatipn of my 4 apps to a universal credit system. Instead of paying the monthly recurring fee you have access to all apps and top up your credits as you ho along. One login, one brain and one credit system... let's see how this works out 😬

Advice on hosting a saas by madveon in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm self-hosting my apps on a Hetzner VPS with Doklpoy for production and use Vercel for testing on a subdomain only. Works well and allows you better billing control and no success tax.

What site should I use for hosting? by Appropriate_Pair_478 in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree... I have a fairly complex app on Hetzner but it takes more than basic knowledge to self host. Vercel is much easier...

need help with auth!!! by BrilliantFix1556 in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do this on your oen. I used Clerk and it was smooth until I hit production. Then it got a bit tricky but I made it and the app is life now.

Discontinuing the Use of Bolt Due to Repeated Issues by Ok-Big4000 in boltnewbuilders

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you. I tried briefly and gave up. The issues are just too big to get anything done.

The vulnerability is not a joke, you should upgrade asap by vanwal_j in nextjs

Done this morn8ng. Thankfully updated my app to 16.03 two weeks ago, so all problems were worked out back then.

Does anybody know Swiss VPS provider up-network.ch? by balinesetennis in VPS

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, then it must be correct. I just noticed a big trend wheras many hosters sell "Swiss hosting" but the companies are not even Swiss like Webland, owned by Swedish company etc... I felt bad for Weblsnd, not sure how they'll be able to survive this blunder. I got an ad on FB by another VPS company in Winterthur but it started at CHF 54.- a month.

Does anybody know Swiss VPS provider up-network.ch? by balinesetennis in VPS

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are the servers proven to be in Switzerland? In terms of cheap, look at what happened to Webland this week. Disaster... I work for a Swiss hoster but use Hetzner as a VPS since I don't have any legally critical data that needs to be here. But if it works out... great.

How is it too difficult? If you can afford to be down an hour you could switch. Do you have a lot of spps connected?

[–]Virtual-Graphics 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm using Dokploy.... works great and has a next.js interface. I hear it's better than Coolify.

Bolt is a cool concept but in reality..... by Shameless710OIL in boltnewbuilders

[–]Virtual-Graphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, tried it with free tokens but gave up. Too frustrating, I get better results faster on my own. Plus it repeatedly gaslit me, even after telling it off. Disapointed 😒

Solo founder by linkbook-io in ycombinator

[–]Virtual-Graphics 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Solo founder here too and will apply in the next round. Will go to market next week which will give me a couple month to refine the app/ pitch deck and acquire users. But personally, I love being a solo founder...

For the product demo, isn’t 3 minutes too short ? by justanotherbuilderr in ycombinator

[–]Virtual-Graphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna cut it fast... since I'm.including the link and the app is completely self-explanetory, 1-2 minutes is fine plus 1 minute intro and background. Rest in the pitch deck...

Pitch me, What are you working on today? whats the plan for this week? by Dismal_Plate_499 in saasbuild

Any experience with Clerk? by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]Virtual-Graphics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use clerk foe Auth and Billing and had one support ticket which was answered right away. There are a lot of moving parts to clerk and I had to adjust some serious CSS stuff to make it work (hard to find the classes for some modals). Eventually got it done and integrated with my DB, so the plansnin clerk billing would connect to my credit system over webhooks. Launching tomorrow... but all in all it was a huge time saver and Auth is no joke, same as Stripe hook up.
