The Call Kent Podcast ·

2022/06/24

When a user enters the tab (btw it's a SPA) I call the api in useEffect and saving the response in redux store.

Using GraphQL queries in Remix loader functions

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2022/05/17

Hey Kent! We've been using Hasura to generate CRUD APIs for our small team. Our existing web applications are all using Next.js, and consume the GraphQL API via Apollo Client and TypeScript hooks generated from the remote schema using graphql-code-generator. This workflow has saved us a lot of time, particularly in API development, and I love the generated type-safe hooks. After watching your new Remix content, we're very excited to try Remix as an alternative to Next, mostly to leverage

We already don't charge per user, but have you come across this situation before? Any tips on how we can incentivize users to use individual accounts?
