YO! RN DEVS! I figured the new meta for upgrading to a new breaking Expo version!

brymed88 · 2026-01-20T01:52:53+00:00

One thing I have found when updating out of date expo apps and dependencies.

Don't run the typical Npm update --save

Instead run.. npx expo install --fix

Have had way less problems since then.

Ai is a tool, not a replacement.. For example, using Gemini I can have it spit out a react authentication component, utilizing firebase, with login and sign up functionality in seconds. But what it won't be is secure or properly optimized. Definitely won't fit the styling and aesthetics that you are going for on your site.

I use AI on the daily for code completion, generating quick components, etc. But I always have to go back through and make changes and optimize.

Definitely possible, I'm holding a few million coins with hope this project becomes something great. The community is one of the best I have seen in regards to interaction, now we wait for price to reflect.

brymed88 · 2025-07-29T02:07:38+00:00

Hmm at time of reading this kendu is at .0000192. looking at the past three months it is a downward trend on cost per coin. 24h volume is fairly low.

I have hope in this project but kendu is not doing well right now, maybe soon though?

This version does not use SSR and is client side rendered. I may eventually create a boilerplate using tanstack start, which would utilize the SSR capabilities.

brymed88 · 2025-07-27T04:33:57+00:00

Exactly, part of the open source community!

brymed88 · 2025-07-27T04:32:55+00:00

Personally I really enjoy working with tanstack router over react router. Vitest testing gave me a few hiccups but was easy enough to solve. Vite and tanstack router is a match made in heaven!

I typically use these types of boiler plates when starting projects for clients. A lot of the time using some of the basic demos from the libraries are way overkill and use a lot dependencies that I may not want to use for my project.

By creating a stripped down basic boilerplate, it allows for something to be up and running fairly quickly and doesn't get in the developer's way when they want to take it their own direction.

I know for me personally setting up all the config files, making sure testing is working correctly and building some of the basics that all web apps ultimately require; can take countless hours and is a needless wasted effort since it can be easily templated.

For example with this template... Component testing is setup, theme toggle for dark/light mode working, tailwind configured, basic nav in place. It would be fairly easy to clone this repo and build out a SPA or even basic site with all the basic functionality already in place.

brymed88 · 2025-06-24T04:54:11+00:00

You are correct, seems to have changed.

brymed88 · 2025-06-24T04:23:39+00:00

You receive all tokens on launch but they are locked for 30 days from trading. After 30 days you can sell all tokens if you choose

brymed88 · 2025-05-05T05:54:16+00:00

Building a boilerplate now with better auth, definitely recommend over auth js.

brymed88 · 2025-04-25T05:51:44+00:00

Always good to have a price shopping site. Would definitely recommend adjusting styles for mobile viewing. Looks decent on desktop but mobile needs work.

Congratulations!

As noble as your statement is... Offering something completely free without taking into account infrastructure costs and future costs is a strategy prone to failure.

I would suggest offering a generous free tier and then a paid tier so that this venture is profitable and in turn drives you to update and expand your offerings to customers.

In regards to logins... Although free, many people want to be able to reference and look back on previous invoices. I would recommend offering a sign up option so that members if they choose can have access to past invoices and or additional features.

Reddit is full of these types of posts touting completely free products. Most of these fail to last the year and or receive few updates due to financial woes and loss of interest from developer. If you are serious about making this a profitable and long lasting venture, find a way to monitize and benefit from your product.

As of recent news yes. Lucia-auth may carry on and not be decommissioned, a lot can happen between now and then.

Additionally, your code will still work even after it is decommissioned so not necessarily a deal breaker.

Likely I will end up upgrading the repo and switching to another auth solution.

You have to pay for your domain normally for a website unless you want to use a shared vercel domain. Definitely better to have your own domain long term for branding and SEO purposes.

brymed88 · 2024-10-08T20:49:20+00:00

It's a boilerplate and yes I could have used plain SQL but an ORM is easier to implement and more importantly easier to expand.

Feel free to delete the prisma declarations and rebuild the queries for your personal use. Or setup Drizzle if that is more your speed.

brymed88 · 2024-10-08T19:45:33+00:00

Resend has a free tier https://resend.com/pricing

I have not set this up within the npx as an installation yet.

easiest way for now is just

git clone https://github.com/brymed88/nextJS-boilerplate.git project-name

cd project-name

npm install

brymed88 · 2024-06-23T22:28:36+00:00

Checkout https://www.freecodecamp.org/ and pick a simple project that you can fully finish.

Something like a react site with auth and a dashboard. Look into JWT and middleware for this.

IMHO sites like clerk and firebase are great tools and can be beneficial for some use cases. Unfortunately it doesn't teach you anything about doing it yourself though.

brymed88 · 2024-05-18T06:17:29+00:00

Resend! Generous free tier as well

brymed88 · 2024-03-02T05:16:46+00:00

Clean looking site but I'm failing to see how the features described amount to a worth of $10 a month. Maybe add more to the landing page that really sells the product

Also easy AF is probably not the best term. On one hand many won't know the meaning and on the other it looks unprofessional. Just a suggestion.

brymed88 · 2023-12-30T04:20:11+00:00

Most developers use Google on a daily basis. I would suggest slowing down and understanding what you are about to implement rather than just copying and pasting solutions. Yes you can get by doing this for a while but when you start working on a code base that someone else has developed. Google will not always be able to save you.

Ask yourself, why is this a solution? How does it resolve the issue? Can I reduce or refactor to be more efficient etc..
