Building products for the web 🛠💻 currently at @playtomic

I share thoughts and learnings on software development, product design, and UX/UI
I'm trying to form an opinion on time estimates for engineering tasks: do you think they are useful?

Getting out of Image transformations with the Vercel Hobby plan out of nowhere, while the rest of the products have barely reached 10% of the threshold

Do you know how can I optimize them so I don't have to upgrade just because of this?

I made a thing ✨

I called it FrameCount — a little app that lets me track what I watch and see how much time I’ve spent doing it.

It’s probably overkill, but it made me happy to build it.

Would love to hear your thoughts if you check it out 🙏

Been building a little side project these past weeks.
It tracks the movies I watch, and shows me stuff like:

→ total time spent and movies watched
→ favorite genres
→ other cool stats I didn’t know I wanted

It's built for me, but I will share tomorrow to get some feedback 🎬

Which tool would you choose to add your very first test to a Nextjs app?

I'm thinking about Jest, but don't know if it would be better to start with something else 🤔

How it’s going.

Going back to the OpenAI API after a couple of years or more, I'm very surprised by the number of features and good docs they have put out there.

I'm particularly amazed about the Structured queries and how efficiently they are preventing users from hacking the LLM

this is the tech stack I use for the side-project I'm building:

- NextJS 15
- React 19 + TS
- Tailwind 4 + some ShadCN
- OpenAI
- Prisma + PostgreSQL
- Vercel
- PostHog

any recommendations for tools I should be using?

Did someone tried out the Firebase Studio? It works pretty bad IMO. I wasn’t able to get any result near to “good” in my tests… and it tries always to inject AI features with Gemini in your projects 😡😡

One of the things I love checking in the app I'm building for tracking movies:

👉 Distribution of the movies I've watched by release year (I'm very into the 2000's)
👉 Total full days of my life spent watching shit

It’s soooo satisfying

I'll share it next week in case someone wanna take a 👀✨

This days I've discovered Nuqs and I'm amazed on how cool is it. I've never imagined how messy the URL params can get very quickly, especially when working with SSR and Nextjs.

Very useful and straightforward to use!

Just having a fun time with shallow routing, motion in SSR React and NextJS dynamic rendering 🤙🤙🤙

Been playing with some of this stuff:

- Next.js 15 + App Router
- React 19
- Prisma

It's a bit of an overkill for a personal movie tracker, but - I learned a lot building it. I'll share it soon just in case someone wants to throw some feedback in! 🍿

🎬 Question for the movie nerds out there:

If you could get one random stat about all that you've watched — what would it be?

working on a side project and I'm curious what other people would find fun or useful 🍿

Amazon ha empezado a añadir IA en las páginas de los productos. El resumen de las reseñas de los usuarios me parece super útil

Thoughts on OpenAI’s o3? I don’t even understand the name 😅

Acabo de ver el vídeo de @juxtopposed.bsky.social en el que hace un rediseño completo de la interfaz de YouTube y estoy alucinado de la cantidad de cosas que se pueden mejorar en los productos que usamos día a día y no nos damos cuenta

I'm experimenting with animation libraries and motion.dev is mindblowing. The thought and care the creators have put into this thing is insane, and docs are 👌

I know some people prefer GSAP as it comes with tools for text animations, but I haven't tested it yet

Motion is built on native browser APIs for a tiny filesize and superfast performance. It uses hardware acceleration for smooth and eco-friendly animations. Previously Framer Motion.

Recently, I’ve been experimenting with CSS to achieve a retro CRT effect. Combined it with a fun audio clip for extra nostalgia 🎮

Check it out and play with the code here:

What would you build with this?
