We have several React apps (created with CRA) to support, embedded deep inside ASP.NET Web Forms apps (its legacy all the way down).
We decided to switch from CRA to Vite. It has worked great so far.
I am happy to see these docs recommend Vite as an option for adding React to existing apps, because at the time this decision was made on my team, it wasn’t very clear what the correct path was for replacing CRA. I don’t think we could have as easily switched to a framework like Nextjs.
If you are in a similar situation, I would recommend Vite.
Similarly, I noticed Signal is on Flathub [1] for installing via Flatpak, but the developer account is ‘unverified’. It’s always put me off installing via this method.
Using text to speech has also helped. No longer do I delay reading long messages from coworkers, or dread reading boring documentation. I just use text to speech. It works really well on Windows (my current work laptop), but unfortunately not so much on Linux (personal laptop) or mobile (too fiddly).
I bought a Pixel 4a specifically for installing GrapheneOS. I used it happily for almost 3 years, until EOL firmware support. The phone worked fine, but I wanted the reassurance of firmware security updates.
I was going to get a Pixel 6/7 (I forget which was available at the time) to use GrapheneOS again, but I was so annoyed at Google for only supporting firmware for 3 years, that I decided to switch to an iPhone SE.
Shortly after this, I believe the next Pixel came out with 5+ years support. I had some regret, but the iPhone SE is OK, and I didn’t want to buy a new phone just for the sake of it.
I will probably switch back to GrapheneOS for my next phone, as it really is a great mobile OS. Hopefully the project is still going strong by then.
