Exactly this. One thing that surprises me about Gemini is how weak it can be at location-based questions, despite Google’s extensive mapping and business data. For example, I recently asked where I could buy a very common household item nea

I believe this approach is superior because it minimizes reliance on GitHub as the sole backend provider. You can utilize any mailing library in your backend to simply send emails or choose API email providers like Resend or Mailgun. For sp

This is mostly a framing war. Calling it "sideloading" makes it sound risky or unusual, but if we called it "installing software on your own device", Apple's and Google's restrictions would seem absurd - like t

I'm so happy we chose Hetzner instead but unfortunately we also use Supabase (dashboard affected) and Resend (dashboard and email sending affected). Probably makes sense to add "relies on AWS" to the criteria we're using

Exactly this - CDN is the one thing I don’t use Cloudflare for. As a web developer, I love how effortless it is to spin up a static site for free using their Pages or Workers features. Sure, I could rent a small server or even host projects

I recently learned to use Option + Shift + `-` (dash) on macOS to type it and use it since then because somebody smarter than me told me that this is the correct one to use (please correct them if you know better :D).

I really like it, well done! As others mentioned, if you use this to attract clients or recruiters, I recommend adding a version for non-technical folks. As a nerd I'd love to see some more colors like in the themes you can set using P

Thanks for sharing, this looks interesting. However, I do not see a big advantage over Cypress tests. The article mentions shortcomings of Cypress (and Playwright): > They start a dev server with bootstrapping code to load the component

You’re framing this article as harmless nostalgia, but it’s steeped in a particular kind of ideological elitism. The author doesn’t just miss old tech—he explicitly claims “computers were more fun when they weren’t for everyone,” then spend

Another commenter mentioned that zero downtime deployments are not possible, isn't this a loss in your opinion, or did you find a way to do it using Coolify?

Thanks for sharing this. I was thinking of giving it a try, but hearing that zero downtime deployments don't work is a deal breaker for me, which is sad because Coolify looks amazing otherwise. I do wonder though, why do we even need a

I basically did that, bought AoE several times, back then on CD and again on Steam. First I used virtual drives with ISO images and later a cracked version. Today I am only using the Steam version though because I can easily join multiplaye

Has anyone tested if this works on Cloudflare pages/workers? Just interested as I like the ease of use and free entry level, especially for small projects. Also: interesting idea, will have a look at it some time.
