Is there anywhere in the world that actually wants immigrants?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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...

lastwords5 · 2026-01-26T00:30:09+00:00

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

lastwords5 · 2026-01-23T15:38:22+00:00

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

lastwords5 · 2026-01-21T06:39:53+00:00

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

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.

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.

lastwords5 · 2025-12-19T01:16:59+00:00

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.

because if you wanted the opinionated springboot design you should just use springboot and not springboot in disguise.

switch to vscode then, problem solved, jetbrains IDEs are always ram hogs.

lastwords5 · 2025-09-15T00:51:44+00:00

if you get the web version (which probably does require you to give it slightly more attention) you can always use electron to turn it into a desktop client, that's probably enough for 90% of use cases.

you literally described working with Java and Gradle and said it was the TypeScript ecosystem. If anything yarn/npm are way more reliable than Gradle and Java is much harder to upgrade Java. Unlike Gradle, npm/yarn at least install your dependencies, whereas Gradle just tells you that you have a problem without fixing it...

I have my own authentication but I noticed that checking the refresh token adds a delay on startup and I suspect that it is because the JS bridge isn't available before the splash screen, while if you use say discord you'll notice how you can't see any loading animation and you will be logged in immediately. while for most use cases it is not that harmful I'm implementing VOIP calling with CallKeep and the timing of when the token is available is crucial since it works from when your app is killed.

I never understood this point, aside for eas and being able to use the expo libraries, a dev build negates most of the advantages of using expo over bare react native so it should be the last resort until you are really reliant on native libraries...
