The Call Kent Podcast ·

2021/10/14

Your website currently uses magic links to sign in users. This seems to be a completely secure method of authentication, yet is still quite uncommon compared to the traditional username + password combo's. Why do you think that is? If it's just as secure, or perhaps more secure, how can we improve adoption of this method? How I built a modern website in 2021 (I've got a section in here that describes the auth flow)

How to buy for EpicReact in "installments"

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2021/10/06

Epic React has been on my radar ever since you started teasing it on Twitter. To me it feels like a "must have" that I "can't have".

But because of that price tag, it becomes unaffordable to me personally, and with my workplace being quite small, they're not always as forthcoming as I'd hope when it comes to paying for something like this either. I was wondering if you've ever considered adding payment

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2021/09/15

Why do you think there’s still so much hype around JamStack and SSG, when form submissions and server redirects for data mutations tend to work better a lot of the time? There’s not a lot of ecosystem interest (outside of Remix) to lean on this baked-in superpower of the web, and I find that interesting. This is less about the tech, and more about the psychology in the JS ecosystem. Maybe it’s a funding or marketing thing?next-runtime
