They do different things.

NextJS is a nice tool. Every small software that I create, I pick NextJS at first.

There is one small caveat: APIs on NextJS are edge runners. You cannot keep state by just sending data outside the API handlers.

I have a similar project called Sasha.html.

https://github.com/dav1app/sasha.html

The idea is to export any file as an HTML file with the data as an encrypted string hard coded within the HTML. This way, no specific software is required to decrypt the file, just open it on the browser, type the password and download or view your file.

I built this to have a easy way to send encrypted files to any device and open it without having to install external tools.

I am one of the suspended account. Yesterday was election day in Brazil, but I didn't manifested any political positions. Imagine how hard was for Brazilians to think about why this has happened.

I ditched Clipchamp in favour of Flixier. It is 10 times better. It is usable on other platforms, allows both video and audio processing (including features missing on Clipchamp, like audio eq and green screen processing).

I am no associated with Flixier in any form but a customer.

Read one of your articles about breaking React rules for fun and profit. Good stuff.

This is a incredibly portrait about the current state of frameworks. I laughed so hard when I saw thousands of badges.

Before anything else, congratulations. I've been there as well and I know how hard is to deal with chargebacks. They can easily break the whole SaaS business model.

This article is wrong in so many points that I basically copy and pasted the whole thing.

> Disclaimer - I have invested 1% of my savings into stable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum etc.

The question is not how much. The question is when and how. The only thing that is good on this article is the % of the savings. 1% is fairly reasonable.

> Let’s talk about slot games first.

Bad comparison. Those who mix investment and lucky generally have a pretty wrong concept about investment.

> Most of them are designed in such a way that you will win only 49% of the time and the rest 51% of you will lose.

Considering that this is true, it is not a chaotic system like any economic system. Nobody can set a decentralized currency to fail.

> Cryptocurrency returns are a zero-sum game i.e. if 1 person gets a $10 profit, another person has to lose $10.

No, it is not. The monetary base expands with a fixed rate. Also, you are mixing profit and value here. One can easily profit $10, sell an the other one profit $10.

> To win in gambling, you must have a mathematical positive edge over your competitors.

Wrong again. For this to work, both you and the machine need to have infinite money. One lucky person can win you all.

> In my cryptocurrency world, no one really has a positive mathematical edge in cryptocurrency i.e. no one has such information which makes them better than other crypto investors. So, it is impossible to make a profit in long term.

This is so wrong that it is wrong in different levels at the same time. You can be a better investor in crypto. One example was the strategicly investing in currencies that that's inverse proportional due to its differences of philosophies (like BCH and BTC). Another level of wrongness is that crypto can reduce risks of a local currency, due to the fact that no individual institution can control.

> Why do I invest? I believe staying longer for longer period creates a mathematical edge as people in short term either book small profit and leave or accumulate huge loss and wait for price coming back.

This is wrong because you are completely ignoring some basic concepts called innovation, market shift, corporation wrongdoings. You are basically saying that a company can't fail if you wait long enough.

Let me say that this is the best thing that I ever saw in science: people using art to explain extremely complex findings that might change the future in a bit. I laughed a bit on 'I don't know you anymore'.

When I was younger, I remember to read cyberpunk comics quite a lot. They explain a vision of the future that is improbable, but in many ways it get stuff right. Imagine aligning this with real word science. Imagine hearing from a superhero how his powers came to him. Imagine having a scientist name on the movie credits.

It doesn't need to make everything scientifically accurate, but explaining the fundamentals can engage more people to enter science.

Yesterday I was watching a new movie from Netflix called 'hacker'. The movie is awful, but it starts showing how Stuxnet should work, and that is pretty awesome. This is cool because I know the fundamentals of Stuxnet.

If they break the 4th wall and show something that could happen for real, it could bring more emotions to the movie.
