Don’t replace your API with server functions - you lose input validation, middleware, and the ability for other clients to hit your API. Stick with tRPC!

You said you don’t want to hardcode buckets, so you can also use calc() and the vw unit (e.g 50vw) to come up with formulas that apply at different breakpoints

Don’t do this, you can do it all in CSS :)

If you have specific percentages your element should take up at different breakpoints, you can use media queries to specify exactly what percentage to take up when you arrive at 400px, 500px, etc.
@media (min-width: 400px) {
.my-class {
width: 50%;
}
}

@media (min-width: 400px) {
.my-class {
width: 50%;
}

Totally agreed, this was the magic of the OG getInitialProps API and what made it so great to work with.

Yes it's normal. Every DNS record has a different TTL, and some can be as short as 1 minute. Also, DNS clients can choose to not respect the TTL time and refetch it anyways.
Browsers these days are doing their own DNS lookups over DoH instead of relying on the OS DNS tools, so check your settings.

Oh yikes that's true. They also say on their status page that "some features will remain operational, like installations and search", which clearly was not the case 😬

Looks like npm is doing scheduled maintenance so that probably explains it. I saw pnpm fail to install in a Github Action which is pretty disruptive, but I guess better on a Sunday than a weekday.

@jimmyl.ai What are your thoughts on Next directly supporting this use case of reading headers / cookies in client components on the server?

I know Apollo has been working on something similar but they have the same auth in client components problem.

The auth problem is blocking for sure - I've been able to work around it by storing state in Node globals but it's hacky. Seems like it needs direct support from the Next team to resolve this.
