This is hold my beer level of hackery. It didn't work but we learned lots in the process.

Something always goes wrong when you change hosting providers. 😅 For me it was redirects. A vital feature of any site migration.

Twitter embeds every tweet on your page as an iframe. Loads 1.2MB of JavaScript, makes 20+ HTTP requests and uses 100+ DOM nodes. 💩

The Girl loves her daily cute photos, but she's bored of repeats. What if adding images was easier 🤔

We used a man-in-the-middle attack to snoop an app's API traffic, replayed it in a GraphQL client, and successfully put it inside an AWS Lambda 🤘

It works! useAuth has beta-level support for Firebase Auth 🥳 I did not expect that to take 3 sessions.

Firebase continues to be 💩. No wonder people keep asking for support in useAuth. Almost there ✌️

Support for Firebase Auth is one of the most requested features for useAuth and I figured what the heck, how hard can it be?

Gatsby and NextJS do similar things differently. One is better for websites, the other for webapps. In episode 17 of CodeWithSwiz we explore the biggest difference.

In Refactoring a useReducer to XState we talked about a 5 step process to turn a reducer into an XState state machine. Today answers "Ok now what?"

Once you know how to refactor a useReducer to XState, you gotta prove you did it right.

XState promises to be like useReducer+Context combined and the simplest way to handle complex state in React apps. But can it deliver? On this episode of #CodeWithSwiz, we gave it a shot.

Prefetching lets you start React apps without loading spinners. Gatsby introduced this concept with `staticQuery`, react-query and NextJS make the pattern easier 😍

Update code with a JavaScript function? Easier than you think 😍

In this episode of CodeWithSwiz, we tried NextJS's support for /api routes – code running on the backend. In a word – Wow

NextJS getStaticProps, environment vars, and why you shouldn't use yarn link – all in this episode of #CodeWithSwiz

Friend, this episode of #CodeWithSwiz was a great example of why you want to start using TypeScript and how thermal load *destroys* computers.

You're the computer, the CMS is your script. Starting small, trying NextJS, comparing microbundle vs. parcel for extracting libraries out of projects.
September 3rd, 2020

On CodeWithSwiz ep2, we tried NextJS and built our first tiny app. Complete with a design system, static rendering, React Query to talk to AWS Lambda, and deployed to live 🤘

A new old experiment 👉 regular livecoding. It's like a podcast with video, show notes, regular cadence, and we both learn something new.
