tr1ll10nb1ll··on Show HN: Vite-plugin-ssr – Do-one-thing-do-it-well alternative to Next.js / Nuxt
I'm really liking it so far and have been using this in production for the landing (and soon the blog) page at https://devclad.com/ using SSG.

Had some issues running the SSR api function on Vercel, though. Probably something to do with the the assets/ being specified in the wrong directory.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Using Notion as a headless CMS for our blog
Related: I recently built https://github.com/arthtyagi/serverless-notion-blog which helps you use Notion as a CMS.

It's like https://github.com/NotionX/react-notion-x but much less worked on (bare essentials) and doesn't need a server per se, it runs on a serverless worker.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Show HN: placesloth.com – generate placeholder images of sloths
Built something super similar in Go for user avatars (no sloths, sorry. I'll add them though haha) - github.com/devclad-inc/serverless-userpics
tr1ll10nb1ll··on Gen Z never learned to read cursive
Well, I'm 19 and I was taught as a kid how to write cursive extensively in India. Not saying it's good or bad, however.
tr1ll10nb1ll··on Byte Magazine: The C Programming Language (1983)
Another 20 years from now, I highly doubt you'd have to even care as much about performance of servers as you do now stemming from the use of a language that keeps you productive.

Remember, hardware is getting more powerful and cheaper.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Credit Karma fined $3M by FTC for misleading consumers with credit card offers
They could be routinely proxying and renaming the routes for their self-hosted ad network script to fly under the radar.

Sort of what you would do to get your analytics script past UBlock.

Like, use Cloudflare worker or something to proxy your analytics script and it won't get blocked.

Just a thought, far from sure.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on DockYard R&D: FireFly Optimizes Your Elixir Compilation
Dockyard seems to be making strides with their projects which in turn makes working with Elixir lucrative (assuming the projects do take off).

Yesterday, they posted LiveView Native and now— this.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on GitHub backtracks on deprecating the trending tabs page
Not sure what you mean by "quality is in decline".

I'm pretty happy (much like others) with GitHub now more than ever. Github has been releasing new features left and right.

Some of them are an unwelcome sight (think Github Badges) while others (think Github Issues) are a super productive enhancement imo.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Cloudflare Tries to Ignore the World
I can understand why Cloudflare is under the fire. However, I think it's bold of them to be an agnostic service-provider.

Not sure if it's the right thing, that's debatable on what you value more.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on [dead]
https://github.com/Xe/Xeact

After a little digging, this might be the framework the author is using. I'm not sure. However, the benefits of this are pretty vague.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Zuckerberg says FBI warning prompted Biden laptop story censorship
I wasn't old enough for a small Reddit/college exclusive Facebook so I don't feel too strongly about it.

However, I do agree that we don't have a true social platform (not a corp with other objectives).

We can bemoan this all we want but if they weren't doing it, someone else would've been.

Alternatives can be created over and over but as long as those are consumption-driven corporations, they will try extract every single second of our attention possible. That IS their business after-all.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Zuckerberg says FBI warning prompted Biden laptop story censorship
There's no right answer to:

- what you should censor

- whether you should censor

when running a social media (more like an ad-platform but irrelevant to the point I'm making) service to this scale serving people from every demographic.

Anything you do is wrong.

If you don't censor, there's misinformation on a platform you control and you will be responsible for further conspiracies and actions/campaigns stemming from it in the worst case scenario. The cost outweighs the benefit. On the other hand, if you do censor, you piss people off anyway.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on DuckDuckGo Email
Was thinking the same thing but considering this is free, I'm skeptical.

I don't know, I'm always skeptical of free products now, it feels as if something critical is missing.

Paying for a service at least gives me peace of mind that I'm consuming a service I selected. Free services seem to be out in the wild.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Ask HN: Startup idea – disconnected, physical space charged by hour
yeah he's "disrupting" the housing market now. Good for him.
tr1ll10nb1ll··on The resentment on HN is repulsive
I agree. And the disdain towards a new way of doing things (especially in web development, serverless for instance) is impeccable.

No one is forcing anyone to use these new ways.

The product is not suitable to your needs then? sigh
tr1ll10nb1ll··on Why Developers Are Building So Many Side Projects
Cause it’s fun? And as a byproduct of that, you might even earn some money on the side.

It’s a win-win.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on All about QBasic and QuickBasic
I picked QBASIC up as a kid and made my first game (a quiz), that was my first eureka moment. Pretty cool now that I think of it.
tr1ll10nb1ll··on Private, organization-owned repository FAQ
I'd recommend CloudFlare pages is a cool alternative. Super easy to setup and free too.
tr1ll10nb1ll··on I Am a Spammer. AMA (2009)
Thankfully, people now are much smarter in this regard and with the spam filters and everything.

People know better in terms of what's spam and even understand dark patterns in legitimate products.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Build your own web framework
It quite literally starts with, "ever wondered what it takes to build your own web framework that also deploys to edge and serverless infrastructure?”. They are not suggesting you to do this to get your “simple application up and running”.

If you dislike it so much, simply don’t use it. I don’t use it either but calling it stupid is not a stretch. It’s worse.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Build your own web framework
It’s like they are either getting old and don’t like to keep up with modern web development but it’s easy to see this behavior elsewhere too.

Aversion towards new way of doing things where people feel like the old way was just working is too common and predictable sometimes. “Things work” using old way, but, does that mean that no optimizations are to be made? Optimizations further lead to reiteration of the way we do things.

Also, an individual can stick to their old way of doing things but to rant over the new way is just- tasteless.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Apply with me to Y Combinator in the next month and change the world
good job if this is satire, causing "youogle" and "making world a better place" goes hand and glove haha!

If not, well- I don't have much to add, good luck!

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Show HN: I built the social media management platform you'll love
I think they fixed it now or something, I was able to sign up.
tr1ll10nb1ll··on Show HN: I built the social media management platform you'll love
Looks a lot like Buffer or Hootsuite.

However, nothing inherently wrong with that.

With that being said, the website is not responsive.

Have a look:

Landing Page- https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41021374/180618034...

The actual app- https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41021374/180618254...

tr1ll10nb1ll··on An SPA Alternative
One of my apps built on the Django+HTMX stack got traction and no matter how much I loved using HTMX, I found it’s not feasible to keep a clean codebase (facilitating new developers on the team as well) with this stack.

[Tetra](https://www.tetraframework.com/) might be an alternative if you’re hell-bent on not using React.

But, if you want to ship quick, have a maintainable codebase in a technology a lot of devs are familiar with and have the power to instantly ship for mobile (and buy yourself some time to build one in React Native; code is going to be similar to React.js), I’d recommend using React.

You can use Capacitor.js for instantly shipping a mobile app with your codebase that “just works”. Use Capgo for affordable codepush and you’re set!

HTMX all the way if you’re not building an app cause not everything is an “app”.

At the same time, if you’re building an app with a framework unlike Phoenix, I don’t see why one would not go ahead and use a decent JS framework. Using frontend framework seems to be facing a lot of aversion and I don’t understand if it’s because of the inability to learn these frameworks or what.

Point is, your users just need a snappy app that works. That’s it! And using a robust frontend framework makes it easier.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Ask HN: Is having a personal blog/brand worth it for you?
I just do it for fun. I blog about something I'm building over the weekend, encountering something weird/just worth logging as an entry while "hacking". Hacking in the sense of building, not the Hollywood hacking.

Plug: https://blog.arthtyagi.xyz

It's not as much about the brand as it is about voicing out my thoughts quickly.

tr1ll10nb1ll··on Show HN: I made a simple platform to buy/sell side projects
Just submitted my project! :)
tr1ll10nb1ll··on Show HN: Preline UI – Open-Source Tailwind CSS Components
https://react.daisyui.com/, well they are using Tailwind UI so not sure how they are an alternative to the entire framework per se plus they have React components (among components for other frameworks, I believe).
