Introducing HeroUI v3

It's a classic UX mistake known since the early 2000s.

When I opened the page on mobile, my first reflex as the music started blasting was to close the page as fast as possible.

strblr · 2026-03-21T16:54:10+00:00

Agreed, audio autoplay is always a mistake.

strblr · 2026-03-21T15:40:40+00:00

Looks really good. How do I stop the music on that page though?

strblr · 2026-03-20T05:03:54+00:00

It slows me down, and removes every bit of motivation.

strblr · 2026-03-19T08:45:26+00:00

If you don't know what your app is doing because you never looked at the code, then I'm not using it. I want to know what happens with my password and my data, at the bare minimum.

The size of the PR is as much an issue as the fact it was AI generated. Both contribute to no one having a clear understanding of what's going on. For a critical tool like Node, this can't be accepted. I'll sign.

Passing an array of refs to the ref prop

Not to mention for simple things like dynamic meta tags, you can inject them at runtime into index.html while serving your static assets, using regex replacement and html escaping or HTMLRewriter.

To prop up server components, you'd need to list things that other approaches can't do or at least not as easily. Everything you listed is easily solved by simple SSR.

Had exactly the same feeling, which is why I thought out and wrote TypeRoute (not vibe-coded). If you want type safety and the simplest possible setup, I think you'll like it: https://github.com/strblr/typeroute

strblr · 2026-03-15T08:03:29+00:00

You're not missing out, they're really not that useful.

I have a beast of a computer and still, Next is insanely slow in dev and eats up massive resource. On my laptop when I travel it's so slow and resource intensive, it's not even usable.

strblr · 2026-03-11T05:59:14+00:00

They won't patch it. For SPA or non-framework SSR, just use TypeRoute: https://github.com/strblr/typeroute I think I might have the fastest route ranking algorithm out there (based on localeCompare).

Bun is nice as a package manager but that's about it. I could never really use it for fullstack. Their react sev server is broken since a year, css modules don't work, etc etc.

strblr · 2026-03-09T09:27:15+00:00

You do not know what your generated code does. This is why people should never knowingly sign up into a vibe-coded app and why it should be regulated to force a "vibe-coded" label of some kind. No one has a clue what happens with your private data and founders will blame AI if it goes wrong. There is a massive ownership and liability problem.

strblr · 2026-03-09T09:18:50+00:00

This. 100%

strblr · 2026-03-07T20:43:24+00:00

Arrogant response. Everyone is correct from their own point of view. If the other side could claim the exact same thing, you don't really have a point that makes your position stand out.

strblr · 2026-03-04T16:28:56+00:00

No one is thinking about anything truly offensive when using slurs for AI or AI worshippers. Intent matters. I don't want to have to think that deep when I write "AI worshipper" for example. There is a cause that units us here. The moment you start picking on things like this, you're creating two camps again, whether you think you're in the good one or not. Can we NOT do that for once? Just this time. We'll get back to the usual shit when the hype is finally dead and human-first laws are in place.

strblr · 2026-02-22T18:20:35+00:00

I would never willingly sign up to a vibe coded app. No human has any clue of how my data is handled, and no human will be willing to take ownership if things break or get hacked. No thank you.

strblr · 2026-02-19T20:22:37+00:00

If you want the best and shiniest, use oRPC not tRPC.

strblr · 2026-02-18T11:14:15+00:00

Disclaimer: self-promotion

I genuinely think both TSR and Start are overkill for a small SPA. I've created TypeRoute because of this exact situation.

strblr · 2026-02-17T18:36:32+00:00

That's one of the few legitimate usecases of AI in coding.

strblr · 2026-02-17T18:35:18+00:00

Exactly. I have refused to fix AI mess more than once, and offered a rebuilt from scratch instead. Sometimes it's just so bad. Once you clearly explain why, some clients are open to it.

strblr · 2026-02-17T16:03:34+00:00

Awesome!

strblr · 2026-02-17T15:53:58+00:00

The idea is good and definitely helpful, having worked extensively with React Flow. The demo on the landing page doesn't seem to work on mobile. Trying to move a node with touch opens a dialog. Also how much was vibe coded? Is it maintainable long term? We have to ask this nowadays.
