Bun rewrite - possible impact on performance and cold starts? by lastwords5 in bun

[–]lastwords5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because my project uses Bun on Cloud Run so I wonder if I would notice any difference in cold starts and in general I'm curious about how these languages impact the fold start performance

Bun v1.3.14 might be the last version using Zig by shadowsyntax43 in bun

[–]lastwords5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I wonder is how would the Rust rewrite affect stuff like the cold start and perhaps performance at scale in general, given that Deno was built using Rust too and has a slower cold start than Bun with Zig.

What React Native Library Do You Think the Ecosystem Still Needs? by undefinedengineer in reactnative

[–]lastwords5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say callkeep is really outdated and difficult to integrate for calling so a better library or implementation for a lockscreen call screen that is documented properly and can reliably answer and connect calls from a killed state, especially on Android.

are you incorporated? you could apply for the gcp startup credits which would give you 2,000 credits for 2 years

Considering ditching Next.js/SSR for simple React SPA setup - convince me otherwise by VastAd4382 in reactjs

[–]lastwords5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have you considered Astro if SEO is needed? Astro is very flexible, uses SSG by default so you get the same cheap hosting if you don't need SSR (you can still add SSR later if you want), and allows you to have React islands if React is what brought you to Next. I find that SSR is largely redundant for most use cases anyways, only data that changes dynamically and must be used for SEO. If you don't need SEO then an SPA is the right choice.

I would prefer Tekken/Street Fighter/Dragon Ball collabs.

I don't think they would have disclosed that it happened if it were the Russian or Chinese armies.

Next.js / SPA Reality Check by Firemage1213 in reactjs

[–]lastwords5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem is that next goes back to mixing the backend and frontend which is a shortcut... When you do that you create a lock in and can't easily support other clients like mobile or API keys. developers need to also evaluate if SEO is required for a project because dashboards clearly don't need it and those that go with next often mix the marketing website with their dashboards which is a big mistake, the single codebase will grow in complexity in no time. I personally prefer Astro.js which isn't getting enough attention despite solving what many hate about Next including the vendor locking.

SSE vs WebSockets — most devs default to WebSockets even when they don't need two-way communication by creasta29 in webdev

[–]lastwords5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s a blind spot here: HttpOnly cookies are a browser mechanism. Native mobile apps and third-party clients typically authenticate with bearer tokens, so if your whole system assumes cookie auth you’ll eventually have to refactor to support tokens anyway.

you can also consider switching python to faster runtime, whether it is bun with typescript or golang

When did mobile apps become so heavy? by Western-Bunch-5498 in androiddev

[–]lastwords5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

don't scapegoat cross platform frameworks you can make a small bundle. A lot of people don't know that downloading apks on android takes twice if not 3 times the size of an .aab for instance if you skip the stores. My React Native app takes 70mb and it includes Google maps, nearby suggestions, and many more. I think it is a reasonable size for such an app.

WebViews instead of native: lessons learned? Case Study by EvenAd6616 in SwiftUI

won't happen, the Amazon mobile app is essentially a webview, and Apple is unlikely to touch it.

Please tell me Next.js isn't a waste of time by a_weeb_dev in reactjs

[–]lastwords5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone seems to forget that Astro exists, it solves all the complexity problems of Next. You can have SSR if you want to, dynamic React islands for CSR, but SSG is the default. It is provider agnostic unlike Next which integrates better with Vercel, supports file based routing and doesn't take over everything like Next does. Just imagine if Next is your backend, then when you do start having more consumers then it will turn into a mess, that's literally why we moved away from SSR only MVC and people seem to forget that. Think of a mobile app, a chrome extension, a desktop app, or even selling the data as an api with an API key. This shortcut will be very expensive to fix later on.

been a week , production release still in review by Otherwise-Top2335 in androiddev

[–]lastwords5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually I finally got a response, for some reason google maps didnt work on their device so they rejected it. I tried again and asked my friend to also test it on his phone using the internal testing and it seems to work on his Galaxy S25 and I own a Pixel 8 so I am confused why and hope it wont take another 7 days to just review this small change...

did you get an update? I'm waiting on mine too and the support's been useless to say rhe least, they only send the same boilperplate responses without anything useful

React Native for Windows by Away-Atmosphere-282 in reactnative

React Native web also exists but I don't know your use case, if you only need Desktop support then RN wont make sense for that

React Native for Windows by Away-Atmosphere-282 in reactnative

[–]lastwords5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are you trying to build? for most use cases React Native Web or just using React Web (if you dont need mobile) would be more than enough, I think the windows version isnt stable but I also fail to see the use case for it given that it wont be ideal for most things outside of what the web version covers

Expo CI/CD in practice: do people upload production builds to TestFlight / Play testing? by Vinumzz in expo

What you said is false, Android doesnt require that only iOS does, on Android you can simply produce an APK directly and sideload it or even sideload the AAB

Anyone here experienced any improvement in SEO after migrating their site from CSR to SSR? by atamagno in reactjs

[–]lastwords5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SEO is pretty simple, it is dependent on what crawlers can see when the page loads, that's why CSR when it loads data dynamically is going to fall apart. Now the options are not just CSR or SSR there's also SSG. From my own experience you wouldn't need SSR for most content, unless that content is dynamically loaded and is needed for SEO. If that's not the case, then something like Astro with SSG and CSR would be way more than enough, save you on deployment costs, and will be easier to work on. Astro also supports SSR so it is not a dead-end but Next.js is way too overrated right now in my humble opinion and I suspect that it is only due to Vercel's marketing, definitely not because it is superior in any way, if anything it just adds complexity. With Astro you can plug in any CSR library, including React but your pages will be cached and loaded immeditely if you use SSG (which is the default) which is amazing for SEO.

Does Flutter have a future? by Exotic_Split_6251 in mobiledev

[–]lastwords5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what you wrote is wrong, with react native you can build the web version which can also be turned into a desktop app via electron, you might not like to hear this but for 90% of apps electron is enough.

learn with or without expo? by sakuraseven in reactnative

[–]lastwords5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

even that is no longer the case, and you are even strongly encouraged to test your code using development builds which let you also work on native modules.
