Postgres in Rust: Is This The Future For Your Next.js SaaS?

Okay, so you know how we're all constantly chasing that elusive perfect stack? My usual go-to involves Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase for the backend heavy lifting, and sprinkling in some AI magic where it makes sense. It's fast, it's scalable, but even with Supabase abstracting a lot, at the core, it's still Postgres. Then I saw this project: pgrust. Someone went and rewrote Postgres in Rust. And the kicker? It's now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests. My immediate thought wasn't "oh,

How I migrate WordPress to Sanity + Next.js: a technical walkthrough

Migrating WordPress to Sanity + Next.js is mostly a data engineering problem. The decisions around whether to migrate are covered elsewhere — this post is purely about the mechanics: getting content out of WordPress, shaping it into typed Sanity documents, and making sure Google never sees a broken URL. I'll walk through the four stages I use on every migration: export, schema mapping, import scripting, and redirect wiring. WordPress gives you two export paths. The WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) X

Localized Out of the Box with `laravel new` — i18n for Laravel Starter Kits (React/Vue/Svelte)

Laravel's official Starter Kits currently support internationalization (i18n) only in the Livewire version. The Inertia-based kits (React / Vue / Svelte) still have all UI text hardcoded in English. Although support is being discussed upstream (laravel/maestro#168), I created and published localized forks as a temporary solution until official support arrives.

Still Managing Your Ready Mix Concrete Business with Spreadsheets? Here's Why It's Time to Upgrade

The Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) industry is built on precision. Every order must be produced with the right mix, dispatched on time, delivered before the concrete loses workability, and billed accurately. When everything runs smoothly, customers are satisfied and projects stay on schedule. But behind the scenes, many RMC businesses are still managing critical operations with spreadsheets, phone calls, WhatsApp messages, and disconnected software. It may seem manageable when operations are small. As

I Got Tired of Free Tools That Weren't Actually Free, So I Built My Own

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I reached a point where I was completely tired of using online tools. Not because they were bad. Because almost every single one followed the same pattern. You upload a file. Wait. Everything looks good. Then... "Upgrade to Premium." Or: "Free users can only process one file." Or: "Create an account to continue." Or even worse... "Your download is ready after watching ads." After seeing this hundreds of times, I stopped looking for better websites.

How React Native MMKV Improves App Responsiveness

Introduction Have you ever tapped a setting in an app and noticed a tiny pause before anything happens? It's not a big delay. Just a beat too long. That small hesitation usually comes from how the app is saving or loading data in the background. Most React Native apps handle this with something called AsyncStorage. It works, but it's slow by design, since it makes your app wait every single time it needs to read or write even a small piece of data. Multiply that wait across dozens of screens and

hulianui: a React component library with 349 components, OKLCH runtime theming, and its own llms.txt for AI coding assistants

There's no shortage of React component libraries. What's missing is one that's good-looking by default, covers the deep-end components nobody ships, and can be read verbatim by your AI coding assistant. That's why I built hulianui (@hulianui/ui) — "Hulian" for short. If you're in a hurry: Docs & live site: https://hulianui.haloritual.com Live demos (a dozen real admin apps): https://hulianui.haloritual.com/demos GitHub (MIT): https://github.com/hulianui/hulian Install: pnpm add @hulianui/ui @hul

Flint: Microsoft's New AI Viz Language Just Made Debugging LLMs a Whole Lot Less Painful (for Web Devs!)

Okay, so I've been knee-deep in Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase builds lately, often wrestling with integrating various AI models. And let's be real, understanding why an LLM did what it did, or tracking its internal state, can feel like trying to debug a black box with a blindfold on. That's why when I saw Microsoft dropped Flint, a visualization language specifically for AI agents, my ears perked up. This isn't just another charting library; it's a dedicated tool to help us, the web develope

What Is a SaaS Boilerplate? Everything Developers Should Know

Before you can even begin building your actual product, there’s a long list of foundational work that needs to happen first. Authentication, database configuration, billing infrastructure, email delivery, and a scalable project structure all have to be in place before a single customer-facing feature exists. For most SaaS founders, that setup alone can consume weeks. That’s exactly why SaaS boilerplates exist. This guide explains what a SaaS boilerplate is, what features matter, how it differs f
