Hi HN,I built Small Transfers, a payments platform for SaaS &#x2F; API makers who want to bill customers per request instead of pushing them into subscriptions or pre-buy packages.*Why?*<pre><code> - Many customers hate subscriptions and&#x2F;or want to use a service occasionally.
 - Traditional payment processors add a fixed fee to every charge, making charges below 1 USD impractical.
 - Stripe UBB tracks usage, but you still need to write your own auth, add spending limits, and each merchant charges cards separately (extra fees for customers).
</code></pre>
*How it works?*<pre><code> - Each merchant has a Small Transfers account linked to their Stripe account via Stripe Connect, which is used to transfer payouts to merchants.
 - Each customer has a Small Transfers account where we verify them using Google Sign-In, 3-D Secure, and Stripe Radar to minimise the chances of a customer not paying their balance.
 - Customers allow your service to identify and charge them via platform&#x27;s own OAuth. This also removes the need for your service to implement its own auth. (Simple services don&#x27;t even need their own database.)
 - Merchants call a simple REST API to authorize and capture a charge with a minimum amount of 0.000001 USD. Note that you can authorize more than you capture, allowing you to authorize the max amount your request might use, and then capture your actual cost plus margin (great for many use cases, e.g., AI).
 - The platform takes care of charging customers and sending payouts to merchants.
 - Merchants pay a flat 3% fee. Customers pay payment processing fees when they pay for their balance.

I&#x27;m also looking for more merchants to try out the platform, and can help you with the integration.Thank you for your time! Happy to answer questions here.

After reading gwern’s post two days ago about LLM Daydreaming [0], I wanted to just see how it would behave. I grabbed the top vital article titles from wikipedia [1] and made a simple next js app to try the prompt in a loop.It was pretty interesting to see the connections made between concepts.

I started this boilerplate in July 2020 and I’ve been maintaining it for 5 years. It began on Next.js 9 and kept upgrading to Next.js 15+ (App Router), while upgrading the stack over time (Tailwind 1 → 4, ESLint 8, swapping Cypress → Playwright, etc.). The goal is simple: I kept rebuilding the same setup, so I packaged it and kept it updated.What you get (preconfigured, keep only what you need):- Next.js 15 (App Router) + TypeScript + Tailwind 4- Auth with Clerk (magic links, MFA, social, passkeys)- I18n via next-intl- DB with Drizzle ORM (PGlite locally)- Forms with React Hook Form + Zod validation- Testing: Vitest (unit), Playwright (integration&#x2F;E2E)- CI with GitHub Actions; Storybook for UI work- SEO (Open Graph, JSON-LD, sitemap, robots)- Observability: Sentry, logging with LogTape, log management &amp; uptime&#x2F;monitoring- Security: Arcjet (bot detection, rate limiting, shield rules)- DX details: ESLint&#x2F;Prettier, Lefthook + lint-staged, Commitlint, absolute imports, bundle analyzer- AI code reviewIt’s free and open source (MIT). Today the project sits around 11.8k GitHub stars and 2.2k forks. I’m still actively maintaining it and adding features.Repo: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ixartz&#x2F;Next-js-Boilerplate" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ixartz&#x2F;Next-js-Boilerplate</a>Why I built itSpinning up auth, a DB, i18n, tests, and lint&#x2F;format&#x2F;CI for each new app was repetitive. This gives me (and hopefully you) a production-ready base in minutes, with opinionated defaults you can start.I’m open to suggestions and feedback, what would you like to see next? I’ll hang around in the comments to answer questions.

Hey HN!I&#x27;m a 17-year-old student building solo. I wanted to build a full app called WeekWise for habit building, but I don’t know mobile development yet. So I shipped one feature from it as a standalone web app: KarmaWall.What it does: 
Every day, you just post one productive thing you did. That’s it. 
It&#x27;s a small public wall to build daily consistency and feel accountable.Why I built it: 
I often start strong with habits and then fade. I needed a simple nudge to stay on track — not private, but also not overwhelming. KarmaWall is a tiny step toward fixing that.Built with: 
- Next JS + PostgreSQL
- OTP based authentication
- Desktop &amp; mobile-readyTry it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.karmawall.space&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.karmawall.space&#x2F;</a>I’d love your thoughts. I&#x27;m planning to expand this into the full WeekWise app later, but I care most about helping people stick to small wins daily.Thanks for reading!

Hi HN,
I run an affiliate site with hundreds of outbound links. Over time, these links break — products go out of stock, vendors change URLs, and sometimes media just disappears. I got tired of manually checking them, so I built check-my-links.com ...my first NextJS project.It scans my site regularly and flags broken links, missing images, or redirects — so I can fix them before users (or SEO bots) notice.It started as a tool for myself, but I figured others might find it useful too. Happy to answer questions or get feedback!Why did I not use existing tools?
- Google Search Console updates slowly
- Sophisticated tools cost hundreds per month
- Free tools are unreliable

I started my JavaScript journey with React and NextJS. But the more I worked with them, the deeper I questioned myself. Because even though React and NextJS are as powerful as hell, most of my needs in my web app development are just Database CRUD + Auth + Markdown Display. (It&#x27;s my problem, not React&#x27;s, I know...) And I found myself spending more time tinkering with the toolings and configs of the framework rather than coding the actual design and logic.There I started my search for the minimum JavaScript framework on which I can focus on what actually matters. I loved Svelte for two months, and then I found Alpine (from a blog talking about the &quot;AHA stack&quot;)!Though Alpine itself is not a complete solution as a JS framework, I love its simplicity and paired it with Astro, which can solve the component issue Alpine has.But mature frameworks like React and Vue have an unbeatable advantage over my minimum Astro-Alpine stack -- they have prebuilt component libraries like Shadcn, Radix, or NuxtUI.So I built Basis UI, a Shadcn-like UI library for minimum SSG frameworks like Astro (I&#x27;m also considering extending it to 11ty and Nue.js). So we can enjoy the dev experience like stacking LEGO blocks purely in Astro without choosing React&#x2F;Vue&#x2F;Svelte.It&#x27;s still in beta, so have fun playing with it, but don&#x27;t use it for anything serious :P

Hi HN,Many people underestimate the importance of context when using LLMs. I used to fire off vague prompts like:“Hey, build me the X tool” or “Generate a long-form article on Global Warming”.and got generic, sloppy responses.
Turns out, the problem wasn’t just the prompts, I needed a more systematic solution.So I started building AI capabilities into our agency’s management tool, Overbooked. After hours of iteration, I realized how powerful it is when you combine structured data with the right agent tools.
There are two sides to the coin:Using the MCP Server inside the IDEYou can connect Overbooked to modern IDEs like Cursor super easily:{
 &quot;mcpServers&quot;: {
 &quot;overbooked&quot;: {
 &quot;url&quot;: &quot;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.overbooked.app&#x2F;api&#x2F;mcp" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.overbooked.app&#x2F;api&#x2F;mcp</a>&quot;
 }
 }
}Your Cursor agent now has access to over 15 valuable tools. Here are some real-life examples of how users, including myself, are utilizing them:1. Cross-repo contextSay you’re maintaining a frontend and backend in separate repos. You can ask Cursor to:“Create a resource in project X including the required changes we need to apply on the server repository.” and on the server repo:“We need to do some changes on the X route, get the Required Changes resource and start refactoring.“Boom! Context preserved across both.2. Delegating tasks and preventing hallucinationsYou want to add a new feature to your app but Cursor can get ahead of itself quite often, generating unnecessary code or losing track of the task. Instead, try this:“We will implement X feature using existing modules whenever possible. Please create the necessary tasks and update their statuses as you go.”The plan is now clear and accessible for the LLM. It also reduces the amount of hallucinations significantly.3. Initializing and structuring new projectsOverbooked provides a variety of valuable tools for generating essential project documents, such as PRDs, tech stacks, and core features, as well as creating branded assets like color palettes, typography styles, and logos. You can always export them from the app, but they are also accessible via the MCP server for convenience. Try these: 
“Initialize a Nextjs app based on the documents of project X.“
“Pull the styles of project X and update the global.css to include the colors and typography styles.”Using the Chat Window inside the appAll MCP tools are accessible within the app, and some of them are more effective when used in the chat window. Some examples:1. Brainstorming in a group chatEach project in Overbooked includes a dedicated group chat tab. This is useful for brainstorming purposes because anyone on the team can tag Overbooked to ask questions, gather information from the internet.

You need to configure it for static export if that’s what you want: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nextjs.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;app&#x2F;guides&#x2F;static-exports" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nextjs.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;app&#x2F;guides&#x2F;static-exports</a>But this won’t support all framework features. The default expectation for Next.js is with a server runtime for SSR.

React is winning by default and slowing innovation

OpenNext on Cloudflare is the only way I&#x27;ve successfully gotten NextJS to work in a Cloudflare Worker.<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opennext.js.org&#x2F;cloudflare" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opennext.js.org&#x2F;cloudflare</a>

I don&#x27;t really recommend isomorphic environments, but if it&#x27;s your cup of tea, Tanstack Start is making a lot of progress. It removes all of the magic and misdirection of Nextjs and just provides a good light alternative.

At least in my own experience, I tried building a relatively simple static SPA NextJS React app with their router, and wanted to host it on CloudFlare Pages.It ran locally in dev mode just fine. Once I deployed it on CFP, the router broke. No errors in the console, it just didn&#x27;t work.If I&#x27;m forced to use Vercel to make a simple SPA work, which then forced me into paying for their service, that&#x27;s the problem.

+1 React DX is really great. It started really great and it got weird and bloated but it&#x27;s still really great relative to the JS landscape hell.But, also yes, it&#x27;s a pain in the ass and a frustrating kind of necessary evil. So there is room for improvements.Nextjs is a living hell. The ironic thing is AI makes it dramatically more tolerable to the point it&#x27;s actually pretty good. But that can&#x27;t be a good thing in terms of architectural design can it? We&#x27;re in odd times.Of course, it&#x27;s easy to be a hater on the sidelines. I am guilty. Nextjs likely just does too much in it&#x27;s own made-from-scratch clever way. use-client vs server is just out-of-the gate ridiculous. But then I suppose the real question is &quot;well if you want isomorphic environment, how else are you going to do it?&quot;. My answers is &quot;I wouldn&#x27;t!&quot; but then vercel and the powers that be seem to have won the mindshare of the product crowd. At least for now.

Definitely! The API lets you authorize the maximum your AI request might cost (+ margin), then capture the actual cost (+ margin). For some example code, see our Next.js Starter project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;smalltransfers&#x2F;nextjs-starter" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;smalltransfers&#x2F;nextjs-starter</a>

# This is a NextJS
NextJS is a **framework for ReactJS**.

Wait a second ... a "framework" for React? Isn't React itself already a framework for JavaScript?

Well ... first of all, React is a "library" for JavaScript. That seems to be important for some people.

Not for me, but still, there is a valid point: React already is a framework / library for JavaScript. So it's already an extra layer on top of JS.

## Getting Started

Create Next App:

```bash
npx create-next-app
# or
yarn create next-app
```

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying `pages/index.js`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

[API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) can be accessed on [http://localhost:3000/api/hello](http://localhost:3000/api/hello). This endpoint can be edited in `pages/api/hello.js`.

The `pages/api` directory is mapped to `/api/*`. Files in this directory are treated as [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) instead of React pages.

## Why would we then need NextJS?

Because NextJS makes building React apps easier - especially React apps that should have server-side rendering (though it does way more than just take care of that).

In this article, we'll dive into the core concepts and features NextJS has to offer:

- File-based Routing
- Built-in Page Pre-rendering
- Rich Data Fetching Capabilities
- Image Optimization
- Much More

## File-based Routing

![Create routes via your file + folder structure](nextjs-file-based-routing.png)

# File-based Routing In Action

![Create routes via your file + folder structure](nextjs-file-based-routing-in-action.png)

## Learn More

To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources:

- [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API.
- [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial.

You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/) - your feedback and contributions are welcome!

## Deploy on Vercel

The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js.

Check out our [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment) for more details.
