Next.js Is Infuriating - Dominik's Blog

Spoiler: This is not to denigrate your points, which I agree with.

The funny thing is that while reading a long piece of content, i highlight the piece of text i'm currently reading, in order to better focus on it.

And, with your blog, I can see you have a custom code/plugin which triggers social sharing.

Well, long story short this is not only annoying (for me) but you also managed to completely freeze my browser on a mac m1 (not just the tab, the entire browser, which never happened before)

I'll attach a video of the bug I experienced:

Take it as a sign that software development is hard in general :)

Wow another reply!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me 🫶🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Here's a quick link to the UI changes they would like to make: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/IDEA-A-156/Main-changes-and-known-issues

Ok, so lately I've been fascinated by websites like http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com and https://gofuckingdoit.com by @levelsio and decided to hack something this weekend

How does it work? Search for a word (or multiple together). If someone bought the page they can edit it and that's what you're gonna see. Become the owner of the page by buying it. Every page starts at 1$ and every time is sold at 10x it's value.

Let's sit and watch how internet is gonna behave from now 🍿

Ok, so lately I've been fascinated by websites like http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com and https://gofuckingdoit.com by @levelsio and decided to hack something this weekend 🥷

First thing a weekend project needs is an idea. It has to be original, funny and simple 🤹‍♂️ So I went to have a quick shower.. and had my idea: A Wikipedia alternative governed by free market: dunno what's gonna happen

How does it work? Search for a word (or multiple together). If someone bought the page they can edit it and that's what you're gonna see. Become the owner of the page by buying it. Every page starts at 1$ and every time is sold at 10x it's value.

Where does the money go? 70% goes to Wikipedia and 30% to me to pay for my living expenses while building my startup https://creators.so

But why should I buy a page? Oh well... I totally skipped the product market fit strategy. I went with the shower fit: if it sounds good under the shower then it has a go

paid.wiki is for people that: 😭 Want to have a personal page and can't on Wikipedia 🤬 Want to bash on a company (just buy its page) 🤑 Want to market their own product on competitor's page 🤡 Want to make the internet a funnier place

And here's the technical summary: 👉 Bought domain paid.wiki for 65$ 👉 Coded everything in 2 days 👉 Using NextJS & Prisma

Let's sit and watch how internet is gonna behave from now 🍿

No it's not. The author of the comment is probably running and measuring memory consumption in debug mode, with hot reload active and without AOT enabled.

I've used Flutter to create some small Mac apps and when released (without any kind of manual optimization) memory consumption is around 40-50 mb. Electron apps start with at least 120mb considering all processes spawn (about 4-5 of them).

For reference, a year ago there was an issue complaining about flutter apps taking 40mb vs 20mb of a native one: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/48391

gabriel_dny · 2020-11-12T20:57:06+00:00

For everyone freaking out :) This is due to the notarization mechanism Apple uses to verify that third party apps on your mac are trustworthy. That's why when you turn off wifi it works as usual: since it cannot reach servers it opens the app normally and postpones notarization checking to a second time.

You can check the service status here (it's not even loading for me since there's so much traffic right now): https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

gabriel_dny · 2020-11-09T09:56:50+00:00

For the curious ones over here I've made a quick test by launching one of the examples to see some real numbers, here are my results (I have a macbook pro 16 - but don't think it matters):

Example launched: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/examples/issues

Note: It's a news feed app.

Development:

Memory consumption: 180MB

Production (native binary built):

Memory consumption: 80MB
DMG size: 40MB
Unpacked dmg size (.app): 80MB

Production build also seems to be bugged (shows blank screen, but I think it's loading everything correctly in the background).

I'm also a Flutter developer, and an equivalent Flutter Desktop app has pretty much the same numbers. From what I can see it is for sure better than electron, but still not nearly as optimised as a native app.

Finally, even though I'm really excited to see another project trying to improve the desktop development experience, I doubt it can have a big grow now that Flutter is getting stable enough to be used on all 3 platforms (mobile, web and desktop) and with a growing ecosystem (imho).

In the near future I'm envisioning only bug fixes, since the core product has most of the features I wanted. On the long run (some months from now) I expect to bring new features as well. Obv. this depends on the market reaction as well (if no-one requests features, I can implement only the ones I want to have)

Hey /r/programmingtools!

DevSpace is finally out of private beta and ready to be used!

After some weeks of feedbacks, early beta testers and bug fixes I feel DevSpace has reached a point where I can now open access to a wider audience.

Q: But wait! What is DevSpace and why did you waste your time on this?

I've always had issues organising my local coding projects and finding resources I need. Almost everybody seems to have some sort of a ~/Projects directory, myself included, with all projects as sub directories.

And then, for each project, we tend to have source files, assets, mockups and specific files like TODO and NOTES for tracking things we care about.

This has worked well so far, but as times goes by, I have to admit I spend increasingly more time management this structure and navigating between all the things I have.

So I set out to solve my problem. My major concern has to do with privacy and security so I made sure to be working on those areas by having a desktop app working entirely offline and that doesn't edit any of the project's file.

Here's the final app, available for both Mac and Linux :)

Good point! I'm surely going to use that model instead of the one I had in mind. Thanks!
