@nora_leonte @MUI_X_ @netdatahq has written a very good article about this: https://t.co/CjBB8qiqrb

Maybe this is out of scope for MUI, but I would find it really interesting to have a good open source solution to this problem 👍

@nora_leonte @MUI_X_ 👋

It’s really cool! A good use case for it would be monitoring apps in general (think Datadog, PostHog, Netdata…) where you need to pick a time range to get events.

They need a « live » mode (ex: Past 3 days) which points to « now » that updates automatically.

I spent some time over-engineering my new blog, and there are good reasons why 👀

Apple released a hearing aids feature for the AirPods Pro a while ago. I bought a pair for grandma, but then realized that the feature was geoblocked in India

So we at @_lagrangepoint decided to unblock it. It ended up involving a leaky microwave and building a Faraday cage:

@theo A VPS with a fixed cost is a good idea if you can’t afford to make a 200$ mistake imho ;-) when making money, use Vercel but take the time to learn how to avoid pitfalls

@theo your video is good :) but it also shows people just confuse “works” with “good enough” until it bites

its beautiful @tedconbeer

@EddCoates @Jay_X_Peet Your tweet made me discover gameuidatabase, what a lovely website!

I used to go on YouTube to analyse games UI on walkthrough, this db is going to be much more convenient ☺️ thanks!

I don't know the right way to talk about burnout, but here we go.

Helping build a developer community was not something I ever planned on doing. It kind of just... happened. And it's wonderful.

It's a privilege to be part of a community that cares. To share any feedback, good or bad, requires non-zero energy. You could have done a million other things with your day, but you chose to help make a product I work on better. So, for that I'm really grateful.

The way people talk online can really affect your mental state. And it's only online, developers are always so nice in person (even when you disagree).

You might be thinking: just log off brah, delete the X app. And you're right, I could. But it's kind of part of the job. Hard to build an open source community if you don't respond to people on GitHub, right?

It's impossible to build a great product if you're not comfortable receiving negative feedback. So, I try to assume good intent from everyone, stay positive and optimistic, and just keep building.

When you spend years building something (a community, an open source project), it's hard not to let issues with the product weigh on you.

I have a running list of all the things I want to improve with Next.js and Vercel — and working hard to try to do as many as I can.

But sometimes the attacks aren't about the product. They're personal.

And that... really sucks.

It feels like a disservice to anyone who wants to build an open source community, or share things online, for me to not talk more openly about this. So I'm trying.

I've went through phases of "community burnout" over the past four years, and have mostly managed to stay optimistic.

I'm sure my wife is sick of me talking about Next.js 🤣 But yeah, I'm a little burnt out.

The only thing you can really do is time take to reset. Luckily, I have some time off coming up soon. Looking forward to that.

So yeah, if you're in this boat, my DMs are open if you want to talk about it.

[Manuel Beaudru @mbeaudru]

@romain_trotard Yep absolutely! Glad we can see your tweets again ☺️

[sophie alpert @sophiebits]

@TkDodo good news re Suspense, just met w/ @rickyfm @en_JS @acdlite
* we care a lot about SPAs, team misjudged how many people rely on this today
* still recommend preloading but recognize not always practical
* we plan to hold the 19.0 release until we find a good fix

more to come

@Lunakepio I tried to warn you but you didn't listen! 🤣

On web mobile, it's hard to deal with fullscreen content because browsers UI can easily cover your content 😅

Using 100vh will not work and you need a real mobile device to experience the problem

Solution? Use "Dynamic viewport units" 👍

[Manuel Beaudru @mbeaudru]

@cnakazawa It’s really cool that you have « bet on the web » for your game, I suppose cross platform is one of the benefits you get from browsers ☺️

Congrats for your recent launch!

[Manuel Beaudru @mbeaudru]

@liltechnomancer @datadoghq is hiring, DM if interested 👍

[Manuel Beaudru @mbeaudru]

@wincent Welcome and see you soon ☺️!

@heyandras @WesleyYue @deifosv @dobroslav_dev @VictorTimsit @Hetzner_Online @coolifyio Do you know session replay solutions we could host on coolify? ☺️

[Tanner Linsley @tannerlinsley]

So it sounds like Next has learned the hard way that client side caching is hard™️ and instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, is paving the road in gold for awesome tools like @Tan_Stack Query and SWR to do what they've been designed to from the start.

This change, while seemingly small will have a massively positive impact on so many apps.

[Manuel Beaudru @mbeaudru]

@webdevcody Yep that’s definitely an escape hatch. If you are on a VPS that’s fine but if you deploy to vercel infrastructure it’s an other story 😅

[Manuel Beaudru @mbeaudru]

@heyandras Pricing is not easy to find (wanted to tweet "not visible on the homepage" and found it only after!) + cloud redirects to a login page - discouraging for checkout

You can try:
- Cloud button in "primary" color
- Price in the button
- Redirects to payment page

Hope it helps 💪
