@leerob.com I'd love to see @tannerlinsley.com's TanStack Start in the Vercel Frameworks. What can we in the community do to promote and support that to happen? 🙏

Right now I am using Ably to send notifications from step run functions to the client, so it can display progress.

Curious to try Server-sent events at some point too. I wonder how well it will work with Vercel edge functions though.

Traditionally, a web page has to send a request to the server to receive new data; that is, the page requests data from the server. With server-sent events, it's possible for a server to send new data...

@tannerlinsley.com you probably don't plan to, but plz don't integrate ESLint into TanStack Start. It's a great _standalone_ tool that I really like and use in every project.

So you know, these mean the same AWS data center:

Vercel:
Washington, D.C., USA (East) – iad1

Neon:
AWS US East (N. Virginia)

AWS Code:
us-east-1

AWS Name:
US East (N. Virginia)

I find it especially helpful that @vercel.com name it "Washington, D.C" since AWS call it "N. Virginia".

For websites and e-commerce it is critical to display content with no delay.

For apps it is important that the app is fast. For example, code splitting (and network calls) are actually a bad thing here. Loading JS when the user open a panel is making UX worse.

Mikael Lirbank @lirbank.com · Dec 13

Let's make it easier to pick a meta framework for your next project:

- Next.js is for websites (great for e-commerce, CMS)

- TanStack Start is for webapps (great for Figma, Excalidraw style apps)

@t3.gg @tannerlinsley.com @leerob.com agree?

Just added a fallback PNG browser icon for older browsers. One example of an older browser is the latest Safari for macOS.

Older browsers (AKA Safari) keep their icon cache forever so if you ever visited this site, you will still not see any icon. Just so you know. 🙃
