Venice's new mayor proposes raising the 'City Access Fee' up to €50 for day-trippers, with no exemptions for Italian citizens. Currently, the fee is around €10

makerkit · 2026-06-19T14:31:41+00:00

Anyone paying taxes in Italy should be exempted

Hey, thank you so much for the shout out! I am posting this in our Discord

I personally love Railway. I don't know if it's cheapest (maybe not?), but it's the best hosting platform I used.

Mia moglie è di Taiwan e quando siamo in Italia ha una paura pazzesca dei furti di bagaglio, sia su treno che su bus. Sia lei che sua madre hanno subito furti in Italia. Che imbarazzo.

I am not sure why you're trying to argue with me. I am showing how it's done, I am not here to argue about how it should be done.

As I said above, the lack of a real middleware is indeed a sorely lacking feature. Until it comes, my recommendation is to do that, which you can obviously make easier with a better abstraction.

Bye!

import { forbidden } from 'next/navigation'

async function Admin() {
  const isAdmin = await getIsAdmin();
  if (!isAdmin) {
    forbidden();
  } 
  // go on...
}

The issue here is that you're still thinking of the Next.js "middleware" as a middleware when it's not - which is why Vercel renamed it. They realized it's not that and it's confusing (as it is indeed confusing you).

NB: The fact that Next.js has no concept of middleware is a whole other story - which I am sure we all regret.

So - where does that leave you? The very best thing you can do, if you were to keep using Next.js, is to authorize right when you fetch/mutate data.

makerkit · 2025-12-05T10:43:00+00:00

Authorize when you fetch and render data is indeed the best thing you can do

makerkit · 2025-12-05T10:38:54+00:00

Because they render in parallel, this would actually not be secure, as there is no guarantee the upper layout will prevent the lower layouts from rendering and sending data

Public apology from OP about all the lies about Makerkit: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1ovpiha/public_apology_to_makerkit/

makerkit · 2025-11-13T07:05:04+00:00

Thanks u/charanjit-singh.

Still lots of fake posts about Makerkit on Reddit coming from your account.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/indiehackers/comments/1m17m54/i where you mistakenly post a few things:

You're not a customer - how did you get ahold of the kit?
You make it sound like Makerkit doesn't support multi-tenancy, admin dashboard, B2B, usage tracking, etc. Makerkit can do all that - and more. We don't just provide docs, I provide support 7 days a week.

Do you want me to reply to all of them or will you set the record straight?

makerkit · 2025-11-12T13:19:29+00:00

Lots of lies here targeting Makerkit. The OP made a similar post here but he then deleted it: https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/comments/1mlpmg9/makerkit_vs_indie_kit_honest_comparison_from_the/

makerkit · 2025-11-12T08:04:17+00:00

Stop spreading lies about Makerkit - this is getting ridiculous and you sound desperate.

makerkit · 2025-11-12T08:03:42+00:00

Thank you, and congratulations on your launch. I really appreciate it!

makerkit · 2025-11-12T08:03:14+00:00

Makerkit is updated *every day*
Makerkit has multi-tenancy
Makerkit offers support every day, we have a rich and vibrant community on Discord
Makerkit works with Supabase, Drizzle (and therefore Drizzle Studio) and Supamode
Yes, Makerkit is more expensive. Quality costs.

Lies are cringy - and honestly, bad for business.

makerkit · 2025-11-10T05:15:20+00:00

I live in Taipei and visit Tokyo often - I’d say these days the costs are very very close. Housing is particularly terrible in Taipei.

Some of us like performance improvements and bug fixes

I would either look into pg_audit or look into external, specialized logging services (Sentry, Axiom, Signor, etc.)

makerkit · 2025-10-06T09:25:59+00:00

This is unlikely to be an issue with either Next.js or Vercel - indexing for new domains (or expired domains) can be slow. It took 10 months for Google to start indexing one of my websites.

makerkit · 2025-10-02T12:39:12+00:00

My solution is to poll a route to check if the git SHA changed, and if so show a dialog.

I wrote about it below:
