I tend to stick to React when building web apps. It is flexible, has a huge ecosystem and I know it well. Curious to hear from you non-React folks, what is your go-to frontend framework and why?

Finns det något du tycker att du saknar hos de etablerade investeringsinriktade nätbankerna (Avanza, Nordnet, Montrose)? Kan vara allt ifrån aktieanalys, backtesting, specifika notifikationer, osv.

Currently building a fullstack Next.js app with a Postgres db hosted on Supabase. The client wants to run everything self-hosted to reduce costs. Any tips on migrating the Next.js app and the Postgres db on Supabase to self-hosted? Hetzner + Coolify? Anything else? Thanks!

Do you have a workflow for handling upgrades and downgrades of packages to make all dependencies work? It is such a struggle to upgrade a package as it usually breaks something. Or do you know if there is a tool that visualizes or acknowledges packages and dependencies? Thanks!

Has anyone ever used a database with Payload that isn't officially supported by Payload (any database except Postgres, SQLite and MongoDB)? Considering MariaDB with Payload for a client.

Is there any website that tracks and presents the overall state of frontend trends? For instance, when I'm designing buttons and talking to clients about the feel they want for the website it's usually a 50-50 if the client considers a square button more modern than a rounded button and vice versa.

Where do you host your PostgreSQL databases? I usually go for Supabase, but I want to find an alternative that offers a bit more storage at a cheap price point.

I'm considering using SQLite instead of PosgreSQL for a client. Reason is, the database will have like 50 users and 500 entries, and using SQLite would not make me need a hosting provider for the database. Simply cheaper. Is this a viable option? Haven't used SQLite in production before.

I'm building a web app in Next.js for a client who is migrating from Wordpress. What CMS would you suggest using? The client don't want to use headless Wordpress. I'm curious about Payload after the 3.0 release. Have also heard a lot of good about Sanity and Strapi.

AWS Azure Supabase Firebase Pocketbase Appwrite ..or any other similar tech. Which is your favourite and why? Have been using Supabase for some CRUD apps, and I like it. I have also starting looking into Pocketbase, and it looks super simple and fast to get up and running for basic CRUD apps.

I have a real photograph of myself, and I have a sketch of a person in a distinct style. I want to generate a new image based on the real photograph of myself, in the styling of the sketch. Is there any AI tool that lets me do that?

I have an image of myself that I want to modify in the style of another image I have. Is there any AI tool that lets you do that? Basically image to image, with a custom image used for styling. Thanks!

Considering using Payload CMS for a client that has used Wordpress before, but needs a more extensive web app which I will build in Next.js. What was your experience with Payload CMS?

I am so impressed by Bluesky. The open-sourcing of the platform, the founding team's focus and direction, the people sharing great ideas and all the good vibes.
