- Next.js vs TanStack 👇 I increasingly feel that Next.js has left me behind. I'm a fan of React Server Components & React, but not a lot of the dogma around fullstack JavaScript and Next.js' many paradigm shifts. kylegill.com/essays/next-vs…
- SPAs are the ultimate money saver. Users pay for the compute, not you😌 You don't need serverless! You don't need 3 letter acronyms! Free distributed compute is available to all!
- Is Vite faster than Turbopack? Well, it depends. I ran some not so scientific real-world tests of our app between: - Next.js + Webpack - Next.js + Turbopack - Vite + Rollup - Vite + Rolldown Results: kylegill.com/essays/vite-vs…
- The beauty of sync engines: 📝 update on one client 🌐 HTTP POSTs to API server 🗃️ API updates the DB 📜 DB feeds changes to WAL (write ahead log) 🔁 sync engine picks up WAL and feeds data to subscribed clients 💻 long polling clients update their own local state 0ms changes.

- I built audio-vault.com with some awesome tools: @gatsbyjs for the frontend, data aggregation, and SEO @prismicio as a headless CMS @Spotify for song previews @fauna for serverless data, to track claps for each post It was a labor of love-with tools I really love 🥰
00:00 - Q: Why don't frameworks make routing more type safe? The TypeScript craze began and I wondered why the URL was left out. So many app features work better when you move state to the URL (sharing views, built-in global state, etc.) Comparison 👇

GIF - I've been really intrigued by @gatsbyjs themes and spent a good chunk of time playing with them to understand their potential better. ⭐ I wrote up my basic understanding of what is so cool about themes as well as an example of using them:
- This is the power of @gatsbyjs themes: - installed official blog theme to my site - added my exported posts from Medium - shadowed colors file for my own colors Got all my content migrated all while adding MDX, Theme-UI, syntax highlighting, and the speed of a static site 🚀🔥
