    One example of this pattern is Searchkit [0] which performs most of its logic inside a singleton Searchkit class which is instantiated and passed as a prop to the root React component. A bonus is that it's easier to implement bindings for Angular, Svelte, etc. since they can rely mostly on the class. For example, it looks like Searchkit now suggests using InstantSearch (react-instantsearch-dom) [1] from Algolia, i.e. an entirely different maintainer, and it creates the bindings with a `Client(new SearchKit(...))` adapter [2] around the class (see the code on the home page at [0]).

  • Ask HN: Should I give up and get a job?
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Mar 2022
    I think you are probably spending too much of your time on software and too little time on marketing.

    When I look at an open-source project, I ask myself three things:

    1) What does it do exactly?

    2) Is this easy to get started with?

    3) Does it have any documentation?

    For example, I have a use case for wanting to use graphql to communicate with elasticsearch. I google "graphql + elasticsearch" and somewhere a link to https://www.searchkit.co/ comes up. I look at it and I find my answers within 60 seconds:

    1) Top of the page I see "Searchkit is an open source library which helps you build a great search experience with Elasticsearch. Powered by Apollo GraphQL." This makes me think that yeah, it's probably looking to solve a similar problem to me. In case I had any doubts, there's a demo.

    2) Yes, easy to get started. There's a big "get started" button at the top of the page. And a get-started-video link at the bottom of the homepage.

    3) At a glance, yes, it has decent documentation.

    Given that I quickly got answers to these 3 questions, yes, I might consider using this project, or at least trying it out.

    When I go to your page, I see:

    1) River DB is a Rust connection pool and middleware proxy... ok... why do i need that? What problem is this solving? There's a long paragraph I can read after that, but when i'm browsing the web i don't usually read long paragraphs, so you've lost me already.

    2) I have no idea how to get started

    3) Doesn't look like there's any docs

    Given the above, why would I use your software?

    Note that the above has nothing to do with your software quality. But people only care about your code if things are breaking. Marketing material is what gets them in the door. For example, I use React all the time. I have NO IDEA if the underlying code is any good. And I don't really care. What I care about is that it's easy to use.

    Anyway, long story short... if you want to build a software business, coding is maybe 30-40% of the job. Marketing, sales, documentation and all that jazz is probably the majority of the work. If you don't want to do that and you just want to code, then great, get a job. People will pay you good money for that.

  • Responsive Rendering With SSR

    This! If you want to limit double rendering afterwards you could look into something like fresnel to automatically unmount unused breakpoints’ components after hydration.

    This article is extracted from this github discussion, which goes into greater detail on how to achieve this with the libraries Dripsy (a component design system) and Fresnel (SSR w/ media queries).

    Also, take a look at a library @artsy/fresnel, which uses a similar approach to solve CLS issues in server-side rendered applications.
  • Magnus UI vs. Dripsy - Chakra UI alternatives for React Native (+Web)
    7 projects | dev.to | 10 Jun 2021
    If you want both SSR and RNW, then you are not so lucky. But you can read my research of the options you have, in this discussion: How to combine React Native Web (RNW) + Responsive styles (media queries) + NextJS Server-Side Rendering (SSR), to get SEO on the web. If you don't want to make a compromise like the current options, there is a library called Fresnel, which has some promise to afford this combination. But it is not quite there yet. So please consider contributing to Fresnel in the RNW+NextJS compatibility issue or the useMedia() hook issue, so that Dripsy could be upgraded to use Fresnel again to support SSR.
  • How to use ChakraUI on native mobile?
    9 projects | dev.to | 1 Apr 2021
    Uses actual CSS breakpoints on web, to become responsive, even when using SSR. Uses Fresnel to achieve this. CSS breakpoints on web will rely on the mobile device's user agent for most cases. But since this can be inaccurate, it also uses pre-emptive server-side breakpoint generation. Basically, if the mobile user-agent cannot be accurately detected, Fresnel renders all media query breakpoints on the server (a bit of extra work for the server, since it might lead to rendering more components). So the client's browser will receive all breakpoints on first render and can immediately start rendering according to the correct ones. Instead of waiting for React to rehydrate before only then running the media queries with CSS-in-JS, which would have given latency and potentially unwanted visual side-effects. This becomes most acute when you are using SSR, and thus don't want to wait for rehydration on the client to start showing the responsively laid out content.
