I’ve most recently been tech director for a software agency and have worked with loads of different technologies. I enjoy problem solving!

I’m looking for a flexible role but I don’t have a specific position in mind. I’d love to have a conversation if you’re looking for a capable developer and communicator!

I wasn't aware they had a Discord, so that's in addition to "real" support and community support forums? Seems like a crazy way to approach things.

> community support forums

That's like the "old place" and then everyone moved to discord.

Well, discord is where the developers go (including the cloudflare 1s).

> Seems like a crazy way to approach things

In a way, you might get a faster/better response there than enterprise support!

Back in the day, the absolute best way (besides a personal contact) to get support for Stripe was via #stripe on Freenode where bunch of the devs hanged out.

If anyone who answered there is here, thank you for that unofficial but speediest support channel!

I think Clerk looks great but it starts to get quite expensive if MFA is a requirement. Do you have 2FA/MFA in your roadmap?

I've literally been building this right now, currently doing E2E tests! Should be done by end of the week. (and it'll be free for everyone)

Amazing. Good luck with the project, I’ll be giving it a test run soon!

Auth0 is the same with MFA pricing, absolutely ridiculous.

EDIT:

I didn't have a `media` entry in my pages.yml, which meant the rich text editor wasn't loading (JS error was being thrown). When I added that entry, it started working! Brilliant work!

I'm using Jekyll, with yaml frontmatter, and it's not clear how to specify the body. The documentation says that a rich text field could be set up with a "name" option (and gives "body") as an example but my Markdown files don't specify a name for the body.. it's just... there:

I'm probably missing something but happy to open an issue if not.

Thanks a lot for finding that bug. I'm adding a hotfix and will release in the next hour.

I rolled out a hotfix, this should be fixed. Thanks for the feedback.

Amazing, thank you.

this solved my issue, thanks!

I think (hope) they learned a lesson from this, as Remix is very good at not introducing breaking changes:

https://remix.run/docs/en/main/start/future-flags

I'm less interested in immutable systems and more in pre-configured systems. NixOS with Home Manager is the one that stands out here, but the configuration is just awful. I want to be able to have my full config in source control and know that is the state of my current system, with anything else being wiped on reboot. Anything that's changed before reboot should be highlighted.

In my (limited) experience with something like Silverblue, the base system can be configured but when you start adding applications (like say, Firefox), it is lacking when it comes to configuring that because you're using Flatpak and I don't know of a way to tell it to both install all Flatpaks I want along with all of the configuration.

I guess there's some way of installing Flatpaks en masse and then dotfiles can take care of the rest?

Have you tried Impermanence?

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Impermanence

Have you tried the nix package manager on silverblue? https://julianhofer.eu/blog/01-silverblue-nix/

This helps keep the (I agree, awful) configuration portion of nix minimal.

Please respond with rate and time zone! No agencies or recruiters please.

We’re looking for a freelancer who could expand to a full role to work primarily with TypeScript, React (Remix) and Tailwind. Must be able to work with a PR-based development mode, independently, and within budget. Backend and frontend experience is a must.

We’re a small UK agency building up a base of Remix projects and need someone to support new projects and support existing ones.

Yes. The use of loaders and actions blurs the lines between client and server. It's really productive. There are a few gaps that need filling, one that comes to mind is internationalisation [1]

I am very surprised that NextJS has left it so long to consider mutations - they're apparently coming up with an RFC on that but it seems to be somewhat behind closed doors.

I agree, the API on remix seems awesome

I'm not sure how to feel about this, but my main wish for Remix is a public roadmap and full development in the open. There is overlap but also healthy competition between it and NextJS, and I'm really interested to see where Remix goes next.

I read the opposite. There currently isn't, so it will be Ryan's #1 focus.
