Got this bill from @vercel. Zero changes in usage, only the pricing has changed on their side. Went from $0 to this. 😠

We pay for 3 team seats at $20 per seat. Previous month bill was $60.
The current bill is just new usage fees on top of the team plan. Usage was $0 under their old pricing, so it's quite a jump.

4 years ago I made this post to Reddit announcing a small personal project, Umami, to the world. Now I'm living the dream running Umami as a startup and really excited about all the things to come!

Even though I loved working there, I no longer work at @adobe. I am going to be dedicating myself full time to umami and open source.

Here's the breakdown. It's mostly edge requests and log drains. Not sure when pricing changed, but was just shocked to see the difference.

I love @Cloudflare, but the DX is not great. Is there a framework that sits on top of Cloudflare? Basically the equivalent of @vercel over AWS.

Gotta say @TimescaleDB is really really impressive. Great performance numbers in my testing so far.

Most of the cost is from edge requests, which I find egregious because you can't opt of not using it

3/ We ended up doing a reverse proxy through Cloudflare to serve just that one file, which of course complicates our stack but saves us a hefty bill.

don't be afraid to throw away code. it served its purpose and you can send it on its way to codehalla

1/ Yikes this blew up! Ok, just to clarify a few things:
For some reason Vercel didn't bill us for usage until now (billing error?), so we should have got the sticker shock sooner than later.
We didn't pay close enough attention to the pricing changes, cause how much difference could it be right? (our fault)

I want to build a unified web platform. Front to back all handled for you. No-code. Built on top of open source. UX driven.

2/ Most of the bill was from edge requests, 184M, which admittedly is a lot, but was $0 under their old pricing. Why? Because they used to charge based on bandwidth and we are shipping a tiny (<1KB) file lots of times.
But It's ridiculous you can't opt out of using the edge

It's all about momentum. Maintaining it is very hard. I keep a stable of side projects to rotate between so that I am never completely idle.

Wrapping up 2024. Personally, it has been a rough year for me with lots of ups and downs but tried I to stay productive. Have many things planned for @umami_software and open-source in general.
See you in 2025!

We mainly use them for the auto deployments from git and the ability to rollback.
Is there an alternative that can do just that?

@levelhomeinc has the worst UX I've ever experienced
1) Create an account on the website, impossible to change password
2) Create an account in the app, apparently a different account than the website
3) Click forgot password in app, need a recovery key?? Send me a reset link!

Trying to read an article on my phone. See a mobile ad for @vrbo blocking my view. Tried to click the tiny little close button with my pinky. I miss. I just booked an eight week vacation from the ad for no reason at all. Is this really how marketers think?

Is anyone still using @storybookjs? It seems MDX has taken over and is so much easier to use.

That's right. We seem to be in weird usage case where it is prohibitively expensive to serve tiny files.

The folks at @vercel updated their pricing so that now requests sent to their network incur a cost after you hit a limit.
What used to be $0 is now several hundred a month on the Pro plan.
Outrageous.
I can't be the only one affected by this.

This constantly happens in @WebStormIDE and it's infuriating. It doesn't know how to do autocomplete on a simple name. Anyone know a fix?

Ran into this recently and was looking at the docs for answers but it was never mentioned. If one of your children is a render function, the Children functions (map, toArray) will not consider it a valid child. You can still destructure children directly however.

Depends on your motivation. It's harder to make money on open-source, so in a business sense it's better to do what is easier.
But if your motivation is making great software, then open-source opens up new pathways to the developer community, which will help you grow.

I want to get the JÄRVFJÄLLET office chair from @IKEAUSA but I have no idea how to pronounce it, so I don't know what to tell people.

Is there an app or framework that takes only a JSON file and spits out an entire app?

Working on yet another component library, but building it has been incredibly fun.
Code is below. Aiming for an extremely simple API for developers.

I tried out every esbuild plugin out there for handling CSS modules and none of them did exactly what I wanted. So I had to write it myself

write some code: think to yourself, this is genius

I am building a component library that needs docs. So I started building a docs library... that uses the component library... which will use the docs library.

I have an issue where ESLint seems to cache files, so even if I fix the issue, it throws an error on the previous changes. Anyone run into this?

Is there an simple app for converting markdown files into a blog? And I mean dirt simple, just does that and nothing else.

You have to use HTML tables if you want to cover all the different email clients out there. At least that is the recommendation. Otherwise I would just use divs, keep it simple.

Everything I build these days is with @nextjs. It just takes care of so much of the dev configuration for you. You can just focus on building, not "building".

Found out that @WebStormIDE + git freaks the F out if you started with a lowercase filename then rename it. Lost so much code

nothing, it is what it is. I just think it's an anti-pattern to have classes that map directly to existing CSS properties. no different than passing inline stytles.

I don't like @tailwindcss. It's value is really in the predefined values (colors, spacing, etc), which can be accomplished with just CSS variables.

We use a third party package for maps, react simple maps. You’ll have to raise an issue with them

The opening $CAT tweet didn't have BTO and I was looking for STC for this. Got lost in the shuffle. Do you think you can prefix your plays with ALERT or something consistent?

Ask @Gemini for a simple function. Long, convoluted, doesn't work.
Ask @AnthropicAI the same thing. Short, concise, works.
Google is so far behind.

Is @mintlify open source? I know they have GitHub repos of related things, but I mean the actual "mintlify" command and app itself.

My Bluetooth headphones ran out of power, so I had to switch to my backup wired ones. You know, wires. Like in medieval times.

No offense taken. I just wanted to clarify because users often request features and sometimes they have something different in mind

Cool! Glad your find it useful. I just wanted to give back to the open-source community since I use so many cool products myself.
