Shopify has one which always invents GraphQL resources which don’t exist. It works for the most basic of queries.

Hacker News are gonna lose their shit over this.

Not specifically, but given one of their points is β€œDon’t stuff unrelated pages under your homepage” and hierarchy in general, I think they are taking issue with the duplication of the β€œcards” across the homepage and the sections page. If I were playing it safe, I would remove them just in case.

You could still have a β€œFeatured sections” block, but put it at the top of the β€œTheme sections” page, so the hierarchy is obvious.

If I were you, I would drop the β€œFeatured sections” from the homepage. Essentially remove everything below that top overview block. Shopify users are very familiar with the left nav and will click it to see the β€œlibrary” of sections. I think having two ways to get to a section is bugging Shopify.

Happy Yaak user here! I think you should lean more into β€œfrom the creator of Insomnia”. I read somewhere that you had built a new app, but no combination of β€œinsomnia developer new app” searches would let me find it. Was pure chance I ran across it again, and happy I did!

If it makes sense for your route, try Singapore. It’s incredible.

Great write up! The fact it’s so easy to explain the concepts like this is a great sign. Looking forward to trying out TanStack Start!

If enough people cancelled at the same time, I genuinely don’t think they could afford to refund. Seems pretty unreasonable to expect it.

I can’t see SvelteKit declining, because it doesn’t really have any competition in the Svelte world. If you like using Svelte, you’re gonna reach for SvelteKit. Next.js is in a competitive space, with so many alternate React frameworks, not tied to any single hosting platform.

There used to be (maybe still is) a keyboard shortcut on windows which vertically flips the display. We had the entire classroom flipped upside down on the regular. Was peak hilarity at the time.

It's been said already, but I think Next.js will continue to decline in popularity. It's far too complicated, and achieves the same thing as much simpler frameworks. It's also too closely aligned with Vercel, giving the feeling of vendor lock in, even when there isn't.

Astro for websites. Remix for web apps. It doesn’t necessarily need to be static, but Astro excels at managing β€œcontent”, not so much β€œstate”. You can definitely make web apps with Astro, but that’s not the main goal.

ChatGPT is going to kill Google Search within the next year. Even my non-technical friends use ChatGPT so much that they say "ChatGPT it" rather than "Google it". The question is, how long until ChatGPT starts including sponsored ads.

Really enjoying @zed.dev so far! It's refreshingly simple and the docs are good. There are still some odd TypeScript things (for example, getting it to use the correct prettier config), but I find it's better to just keep the defaults for now, and wait for it to get ironed out.

Centralize root access for member accounts - AWS Identity and Access ManagementCentralize root access for member accounts - AWS Identity and Access Management Learn how to secure the root user credentials of your AWS accounts managed using AWS Organizations.

Every AWS Organization should be enabling this. Having unused root credentials floating around for member accounts was always an odd design choice, which has finally been tidied up.

Forever amazed that AWS Elastic Beanstalk is still going strong. I remember building on this 8 years ago, long before "containerize everything" became the norm.

Increased limits for automatic app-based discounts - Shopify ChangelogShopifyOpen Main NavigationHomeClose Main NavigationFacebookTwitterYouTubeInstagramLinkedInPinterest We've increased the number of active automatic app-based discounts per shop which will help merchants who were previously constrained by our limit ...

Shopify have increased the limit for automatic app-based discounts from 5 to 25. This is a big win for apps, but I'm still not convinced modelling automatic discounts as separate functions is the way to go. One big function seems much simpler to grok and test.
