A Button Per form or One Form with Multiple Buttons

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2024/01/26

Hi Kent, It's Jan 👋 When creating a dropdown menu (e.g. to pick a role in an organization), would you wrap the whole menu in a form tag and then render multiple buttons within that form (one for each role)? Or would you render multiple forms (one for each role) with each having their own submit button? Thanks a ton if you answer! Best regards, Jan A Button Per form or One Form with Multiple Buttons

Toasts in Remix

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2024/01/16

Hi Kent, It's Jan. I'm currently working on implementing toasts in a Remix app. I was using the Epic Stack as a reference. BTW, thank you for creating it, it's so nice to take some features and functionalities from it when you need them! Anyways, it looks like the implementation of the toast in the Epic Stack does NOT work with JavaScript disabled. But theoretically, you could make toasts in Remix progressively enhanced by giving the close button a form and prevent default when JavaScript

2024/01/15

So, recently I started looking for my first software job. The first offer I received was from a company looking for an intern. The internship had the following conditions: 1) the first 3 months of it are unpaid 2) you have to sign a contract after the 1st month of it that obligates you to stay at the company 2 years after the internship is ended. I rejected it because I felt like you never know what that company may turn out to be. For example, it may try to exploit you and pay you the bare

It's fine to re-render

The Call Kent Podcast ·

2024/01/12

My question is around the optimization techniques that a lot of people apply to React apps. I see very often how devs focus on executing their components only once or twice. What I think matters at the end is if there any changes in the actual DOM tree. If not they in theory should be ok to see your functional components fired many times. One React mistake that's slowing you down Improve the Performance of your React Forms Fix the slow render before you fix the re-render One simple trick

Hi Kent. I am building an app where product sellers can add their products and they by default get a website listing their products. On the app can make some basic customizations for their store website such as color, border radius etc. And each store owner's website is a subdomain. e.g kentstore.xyz.com I am using remix for the stores.

Using Downshift with Conform to manage an input

Hi Kent ! I'm Virgile, big fan of your work, and I have a question regarding your article 'Full Stack Component'. I am currently using a combobox, managed by useCombobox from the downshift library. But I would like conform to take over the input props management, while still getting the autocomplete features. I'm curious how you would implement it.

Scaling Epic-Stack in a single region

Hi Kent, my name is Tim, I have a few questions regarding scaling the Epic Stack within a single region. With the assumption that we are having huge amount of users in one region, my question is would you recommend switching to other database technologies or would you have multiple SQLite replicas in the same region, with each of them being connected to remix apps in a 1-1 manner My second question is, assuming that we have the epic stack setup, what would you do if one remix server can't
