Would be cool if this could connect to Cloudflare SQLite DBs.

I don’t know a single designer or developer that likes Adobe. There have been so many hostile decisions, so many dark UX patterns. I am happy to live an Adobe-free life!

Crossing my fingers that something like this pops up eventually for modern Signals-based JS frameworks like Vue, Svelte or Solid.

There is no way for me going back to React.

Looks like a very useful project. Sadly, I cannot tell if the tool creates static images or interactive widgets. The website really misses some examples.

Sletch is a complex app that is used by professionals for 8h a day and costs $99. Your app is not comparable to that, just the pricing model. In relation to Sketch, your app is crazy expensive. I would have bought it for $19.

New comment by tsp in "Netlify just sent me a $104k bill for a simple static site"

tsp — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 10:01:30 +0000

I have been using Netlify for years, for my own projects, but also recommended it to all my freelance clients to host the projects that I was building for them. Going forward I will move all my static pages to other hosting providers.

The Netlify team must think: we waive the fees, because in this instance we noticed the negative press and want to avoid this from blowing up. When this happens to other users, we don’t care, as long as it does not go viral.

Such a pity, Netlify has great UX and I was so happy hosting static pages on their service. But without spending limits, this is not an option for me any more. I could not sleep well when there is a possibility of a $10.000 invoice reaching my inbox.

I planned on using them for my next project. Now I am not even sure if they have a server in my country (Germany). Sad.

If you don’t have a full-time job that generates income, you better think of ways to monetize your side-projects. Completely different story when you have stable income.

New comment by tsp in "Catalyst – Tailwind CSS Application UI Kit"

tsp — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:40:38 +0000

I’m disappointed they went with React as well. There are definitely more innovative frameworks (my favorites: Vue and Svelte). But I do understand the Tailwind team - it is an economic decision. React (still) dominates.

Going framework-agnostic is (currently) not a good approach imo. The developer experience would suffer too much. I hope in the future agnostic UI kits become a thing, but the tooling around this approach needs to change first.

It’s definitely not dead. Some great demos have been released in recent years in JavaScript / WebGL, e.g. using visual tools like cables. https://cables.gl/

It offers you a cheap way to host multiple apps with little effort. It can be compared to Heroku, which is a convenient way to host multiple apps, but which can get very costly.

You pay for a managed control server. This instance can manage multiple servers to run apps on (BYOS only applies for these app servers).

This works pretty well! You should sell image credits for faster processing.

New comment by tsp in "Lit 3.0"

tsp — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 19:30:53 +0000

I used Lit 2 in a complex client project once, which was tough to work on, not because of Lit, but because of Web Component composition. I would not choose Web Components for a new project with component composition again. The Shadow DOM makes many things harder than I was used to when building with a JavaScript library like React or Vue. For framework independent individual components (e.g. a video player component), Lit is excellent.

New comment by tsp in "If Web Components are so great, why am I not using them?"

tsp — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 19:54:38 +0000

I used Lit in a client project, which still seems to be the most common way to author web components. Styling and composition was really hard, much harder than in typical React, Vue or Svelte projects. It is future proof to build the atoms of a design system as web components (e.g. sliders, buttons and so on), but component composition is better done in a proper framework (e.g. Vue). This way companies could more easily start new projects with their existing design system, independent of the framework. I wouldn’t consider building a complex applications with Lit again, just the design system atoms.

New comment by tsp in "My journey away from the JAMstack"

tsp — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 12:54:46 +0000

I use Netlify since multiple years for static site hosting on their CDN, partly using a headless CMS. It is a blast to use and I could not imagine how it can be any easier. For full-stack applications I would definitely consider Render, as I heard many positive reviews. For me, as a front-end developer, Jamstack and Serverless comes in very handy as I don’t have to spend time learning other programming languages, but Laravel looks very appealing to me, being opinionated and having a rich ecosystem.

Afaik Braintree is a merchant of record, so they collect and handle VAT for you. Stripe does not.
