This looks like just what I needed when I built my "admin ui" last year.

Instead of building an admin ui with Django or similar, I encourage you to just stick with a web-based spreadsheet for your internal users (if you have a small team, technical teammates, startup, etc).

Lol glad I was not alone.

What's the diff? I love regexr and credit that site to my finally understanding regex.

In fact, I was just on it this morning!

Would anyone here want a cloud-hosted hosted version of node-red? Like a PaaS for node-red?

In addition to this list, for those doing node monorepos in 2022, the extensions that I think you must use are:

  - Github copilot - like autocomplete on steroids.
  - peacock - change the workspace color - helps reduce mental load when working on different projects.
  - tag autorename - this should be built into vscode, saves a bunch of keystrokes
  - snippets - this is a category of extension. Find whichever snippet lib is out there for your stack.

Interesting read. Do you recommend a resource to learn rails for the reactjs developer? Seems like only the opposite exist nowadays.

As someone who created their app in Next.js this year, I can tell you the Node.js ecosystem is in absolute shambles. We are making a WYSIWYG / ecommerce platform for authors, so we need the ability to make and preview live changes.

After finishing our MVP with a no-code solution, we decided to move to a custom Next.js app in as little time as possible. Big mistake. I had the urge to dig into Rails but I was much more comfortable in React. That being said, it's been a nightmare dealing with package upgrades, ESM vs CJS, running tests, adding Typescript, etc.

I believe, for example, creating the preview component would have been significantly faster in Rails than Next.js.

Recently we migrated to Next.js v12 for speed improvements. So many roadblocks. It took forever to debug. Again, mostly due to dependency resolution issues.

Blitz.js is supposedly going to be the Rails of JS but there is no way they'll ever have the support that either Next or Rails will receive.

Anyone here more experienced than me in CQRS care to weigh the pros and cons betweens these two patterns?

I just built my MVP in a Next.js monorepo. We built the mvp in a few weeks and actually landed some real customers with it.

But I knew doing it in Rails or Django would've been faster, but I haven't got enough experience with either.

Let's say I want to create my app in Rails (or django). I don't need it to be pixel perfect, but I do want some flexibility around the UI. ActiveRecod is fine. Can I just plug this into the admin and customize as I see fit? I know Django has a built-in Admin, does Rails?

FWIW, I have used Django (without the admin) and tried learning Rails several years ago but it was too overwhelming for me. Rack middleware, the ruby syntax, the conventions—all of it seemed over my head. But if I can learn redux, react, etc, I feel like I can do Rails too.

Do you have any recommendations on resources? I want to learn how to make something that looks really good, is convention-based, lets me plug in my custom code when needed, and lets me prototype fast as hell.

If you're just using graphql on the front end, then Gatsby.js is a rapid way to setting up a react app. I highly recommend it.

Ok I have another question. On social platforms like facebook, whenever the creatives are refreshed, the ad set is put back into a "learning phase", which we're told to avoid.

So what is the best way to iterate on new creatives without re-entering the learning phase?

Interesting because LINQ starts the same way, or at least that's how I remember it.

Dang, c# looks so awesome! Was super interested in using for our most recent project, but alas, we chose python.

Looking forward to using these features someday but I'll pass on Windows and Azure for now.
