Next.js Law Firm Sites (with Proof)

A next.js law firm website handles more than online brochures—it must defend a firm's reputation, convert overseas inquiries, and load faster than opposing counsel's. We proved this with Ansari Law Associates, a 75-year-old Lahore consultancy whose site now mirrors the gravity of their conference room, not a generic template. Static generation eliminates the plugin attack surface that plagues legal WordPress installs. No theme updates breaking your practice-area pages, no abandoned form plugins

How I Built a Bulk Video Processing Pipeline with Next.js, BullMQ, and FFmpeg

I've been building BatchEdits — a tool that lets content creators upload 50 videos at once and get them back edited simultaneously with silence removed, captions added, and cropped for every platform. The hardest engineering problem was making 50 videos process truly in parallel without the server falling over. Here's exactly how I built it. The naive approach is obvious: for (const video of videos) { await processVideo(video); } For 50 videos this means: Video 1 finishes → Video 2 starts Total

useTransition vs useDeferredValue: I Built a Lab Where You Can Feel Concurrent React

"Concurrent rendering keeps your UI responsive" is one of those React lines that means nothing until you feel a laggy input turn smooth. So I built a lab that filters a genuinely heavy list three ways — and a live main-thread heartbeat that freezes to prove when the thread is blocked. ▶ Live demo: https://concurrent-lab.vercel.app/ Source (React 19): https://github.com/dev48v/concurrent-lab The list has ~1,200 deliberately-costly rows, so rendering it on every keystroke is real work. blocking (u

What is a Transient Prop?

A transient prop is a special prop in styled-components that starts with a dollar sign ($). Example: Inside the styled component: const StyledRow = styled.div` grid-template-columns: ${(props) => props.$columns}; `; The $ tells styled-components: "This prop is only for styling. Do not pass it to the HTML element." Sometimes we pass values only to generate CSS. For example: Number of grid columns Background color Padding Width Border radius Active state These values are needed by styled-component

‘Slow-cial’ app Roost forces you to slow down to the speed of a carrier pigeon

This developer didn't expect his side project to grow to 300,000 users, but people love Roost because it's an alternative to an always-on, fast-paced online culture.

I Built a React Error Boundary Lab (and Showed What They Can't Catch)

Without an error boundary, one component that throws during render unmounts your entire React tree — the dreaded blank white screen. Boundaries turn that into a contained, recoverable fallback. So I built a lab where you crash things on purpose and watch how far the damage spreads (and doesn't). ▶ Live demo: https://error-boundary-lab.vercel.app/ Source (React 19): https://github.com/dev48v/error-boundary-lab Error boundaries are the one corner of modern React that still must be a class — there'
