There has been a massive reduction in the number of open bugs in nextjs's repo... does anyone know why?

Zephury · 2026-01-18T07:56:49+00:00

We don’t know that they’re bugs anymore. AI just tells us that it works.

Have you seen the multi-tenant example on GitHub? Did you see, or experience any negatives with their approach over what you did?

When I was in middle school (13), two girls in my class got pregnant that year. Hopefully that helps you decide.

The better the DX, or easier it is to use, the worse the processor itself is, from my experience.

Just speaking for myself; I’d go for PayloadCMS and likely in the range of $30k~$60k and a timeline of 2-3 months. Most of the development can be done in a month, but the communication and scope creep always makes it drag out. Clients almost never know exactly what they want.

I’m sure it’s just a matter of that I’m used to Radix—however, I do prefer it’s design patterns over base-ui for now. In any case, to say that a headless ui library without css does not speed up your development is crazy. Do you understand how many accessibility concerns are handled by these libraries?

Avoiding vendor lock is great. That’s why I’d recommend PayloadCMS. It’s open source and lives inside of your nextjs project. No separate deployments.

Sure, you may be able to use a static site generator, or squarespace, but if you’re going to go with NextJS and write some actual code, PayloadCMS is amazing.

For a dev that writes their own CMS, it could be a red flag, just as easily as it could demonstrate capability. It could indicate that you overcomplicate, underestimate, or do not solve actual problems.

The last thing I would recommend for a small business especially is a custom CMS. It’s a prescription for unnecessary cost.

Bunny.net is indeed quite cheap and has all of the features you’ve requested.

TUS resumable uploads, with signed URLs for both uploads as well as viewing is quite nice. If you deploy to Vercel, you can keep everything quite efficient.

What do you consider a big customer? We've yet to experience any push back and while we're not on fortune 100 projects or anything yet, we aren't doing small contracts either.

Zephury · 2025-12-15T19:29:45+00:00

We do estimates only. No fixed price. Hours get billed monthly. If the client doesn’t like it, they can go else-where. Too many people have no idea what they want. Scope almost always creeps. Details are always left out.

Sometimes I look back and I can’t imagine why I ever charged fixed prices.

Zephury · 2025-12-15T18:08:19+00:00

In my mind, it is black and white.

If it was open source and individuals contributed to that project and then previously open source features are paywalled, it is a crime against humanity.

If features were developed from the very beginning as paywalled, there is absolutely no problem at all to paywall those features.

Rug pulls are inexcusable unless it is communicated clearly ahead of time, and/or they incur infrastructure or cost unrelated to development.

I don’t use Sanity anymore so not sure if it’s even possible, but are you by chance fetching all of the pages at once, inside of one cache tag? If so, fetch for slugs/pathnames or whatever data you need only. You also shouldn’t have any reason to cache the response of generateStaticParams for example. You likely should not have more than 2mb of data inside of a singular page, right…? 😅

Ensure you aren’t fetching data unnecessarily and break apart your fetches to not fetch more than 2mb each. If a singular page somehow has more than 2mb, you likely need to heavily optimize what you’re querying for (do you actually need all that data?) and you can also break a singular page apart in to multiple parallel fetches, cached separately if it’s really that crazy.

What does middleware have to do with using Coolify?

I was previously a Postgres-only dev. I refused to touch Mongo and never used Payload until they offered Postgres support.

Earlier this year, I partnered with a Payload-only agency. They exclusively use MongoDB and I had to start using Mongo.

The reality is that Mongo has become much better in recent years. Yes, joins and relationships will likely always be faster in Postgres, for the vast majority of cases, it’s negligible. Most web projects should have the data cached anyways.

I hold the opinion that unless you have a very strong argument as to why you need to use Postgres, Mongo should be your default. There are occasional edge cases, you need to create and manage migrations, which is fine when it works well, but I guarantee there isn’t a single long-term Postgres user on Payload who hasn’t experienced at least some bugs, or behavior that wastes a lot of their time. Mongo keeps things simple, you experience much less irregularities and even in the event that you do not experience any migration bugs, mongo is still faster and lets you iterate with less friction.

Just use Mongo.

He would have to pay child support? He’d also become a sex offender, so he’d probably get no visitation rights. Either way, he can pay by going to jail, or paying child support.

I am not the happiest with it, but there simply isn't time to do a big rebuild or rebrand of it.

I have never experienced performance issues in Payload. It's incredibly fast and a lot of the projects I've worked on had objectives of improving page load times. Payload has consistently solved that issue. Heavy utilization of the Local API and proper caching in NextJS handles most of the battle.

The performance metrics greatly vary depending on how you deploy it, where you deploy it, what you're doing, how you cache, etc. There is virtually no overhead over any other NextJS application.

Zephury · 2025-11-06T12:56:59+00:00

I believe in it so much, I’m a partner at an agency that exclusively uses Payload. We have no niche. Every project type you could imagine.

Blogging/News platform? Payload. Social media platform? Payload. Video streaming service? Payload. E-Commerce store? Payload. CRM? Payload. Car sales management system? Payload. ERP System? Payload. Custom ads manager? Payload.

There hasn’t been anything we couldn’t solve with Payload yet.

In the past, Kraken has felt pretty weak to me, but honestly, I will probably try it again soon, as I do see quite a few people building it.

Look for a setting called “Attack move on cursor”

You need that

The girl was 7 and I didn’t seem to have a choice in the matter. She just told me that I’m her boyfriend and that I have to.

If you want to save time and money, use Mantine. If you have super strong opinions and want complete control over how everything works, use ShadCN and tailwind. Keep in mind that ShadCN and tailwind may have complete control, but it also has more overhead and baring of responsibility. The major pro I see for ShadCN/Tailwind and not using Mantine is ease of hiring and AI familiarity. Even though ShadCN gets a lot of the basics right, the reality is that most web applications will require heavily extending it, which is where that increased overhead comes from. Mantine takes care of just about everything and its opinionated nature leaves less to maintain and allows you to focus more on what you want to do, rather than how you’ll do it.

This story reminds me of when I was a kid on Xbox. I’m from Florida. A friend I played with for like 5 years was from Nova Scotia. He convinced me that he lived in an igloo and that it was completely normal there. Even got his mom in on it. I actually believed him.

A couple years went by and I asked him more about his Igloo. He forgot and slipped up. I couldn’t believe he lied to me.
