Shopify has one which always invents GraphQL resources which don’t exist. It works for the most basic of queries.

Hacker News are gonna lose their shit over this.

Not specifically, but given one of their points is “Don’t stuff unrelated pages under your homepage” and hierarchy in general, I think they are taking issue with the duplication of the “cards” across the homepage and the sections page. If I were playing it safe, I would remove them just in case.

You could still have a “Featured sections” block, but put it at the top of the “Theme sections” page, so the hierarchy is obvious.

If I were you, I would drop the “Featured sections” from the homepage. Essentially remove everything below that top overview block. Shopify users are very familiar with the left nav and will click it to see the “library” of sections. I think having two ways to get to a section is bugging Shopify.

Happy Yaak user here! I think you should lean more into “from the creator of Insomnia”. I read somewhere that you had built a new app, but no combination of “insomnia developer new app” searches would let me find it. Was pure chance I ran across it again, and happy I did!

If it makes sense for your route, try Singapore. It’s incredible.

I reported it and it was gone within a few minutes! Impressive! The account had followed 1k people.

Every recruiter posting the same engagement bate “what do you guys think about the work from home debate”, followed by 15 formulaic comments from other recruiters.

I think this is trained solely on @taylorotwell.bsky.social’s profile picture

Great thread. Looks like the App Store reviews are coming along nicely too!

Great write up! The fact it’s so easy to explain the concepts like this is a great sign. Looking forward to trying out TanStack Start!

If enough people cancelled at the same time, I genuinely don’t think they could afford to refund. Seems pretty unreasonable to expect it.

I can’t see SvelteKit declining, because it doesn’t really have any competition in the Svelte world. If you like using Svelte, you’re gonna reach for SvelteKit. Next.js is in a competitive space, with so many alternate React frameworks, not tied to any single hosting platform.

There used to be (maybe still is) a keyboard shortcut on windows which vertically flips the display. We had the entire classroom flipped upside down on the regular. Was peak hilarity at the time.

It's been said already, but I think Next.js will continue to decline in popularity. It's far too complicated, and achieves the same thing as much simpler frameworks. It's also too closely aligned with Vercel, giving the feeling of vendor lock in, even when there isn't.

Astro for websites. Remix for web apps. It doesn’t necessarily need to be static, but Astro excels at managing “content”, not so much “state”. You can definitely make web apps with Astro, but that’s not the main goal.

ChatGPT is going to kill Google Search within the next year. Even my non-technical friends use ChatGPT so much that they say "ChatGPT it" rather than "Google it". The question is, how long until ChatGPT starts including sponsored ads.

My favourite example of this is “shamefully-hoist” from pnpm. The perfect amount of shame.

pnpm.io/npmrc#shamef...
Settings (.npmrc) | pnpm
pnpm gets its configuration from the command line, environment variables, and
pnpm.io
