react native content question
does anyone have a good idea for engaging react native videos? i need to make an app and just wanted to see some examples of how to do things, made a new expo project and told cursor to do things and explain the files and things its making. it worked for the most part except now where i wanted a little card thing that can either be turned on or off on a touch. like a category card. but it can not do it at all seemingly. i dont really have the mind to sit there and read documentation. for small things yes but ground up learning things i hate it. i have written what feels like a fair amount of vanilla javascript, only ever with alpinejs which doesnt seem super related to react.
Additionally component libraries that work with react native on phones and web? i tried looking around but nothing really seems that good or nice yet just on a surface value. i got a expo project set up with gluestack and added components i thought i would need but that just seems to confuse cursor too.
ai for learning is good because its engaging but not when its bad. and i dont really want to repeat the error of just letting it write things, which partially i did on the bad web version...

Clerk testing without a frontend
Hi,
I'm currently working on a project where we will use Clerk. I'm working on the backend and I'm starting the work earlier than the frontend.
I'm going to use an API Gateway authorizer to validate requests. I was wondering if there is a way to generate access tokens without having a frontend integration?
I would like to test all my authenticated endpoints using postman but not sure what's the best way to get an access token that I can use for all of my endpoints within Postman....

Understanding Tanstack Query as state
Hey there!
I am hoping someone can help me understand the concept of using Tanstack Query (React Query) as a state manager? I have been reading articles and even playing around with some code myself on how lots of people love using TQ as a state management tool. The idea that your state lives on server-side and you app simply reads from query/cache. This of course seems really cool especially for say data tables etc.
But I am struggling to understand the concept of possibly using that for something that is maybe more traditionally aa client-side state but moving it to server side? Let's say you have user's preferences stored in the database. You could store things like, what colour theme they're using and maybe some other things. You use TQ to fetch this data from the server so on load we know what theme the user has chosen, but now we want them to be able to change their theme choice! Traditionally we'd just use a useState or a Zustand store and our Theme Provider can base what it is showing off that state. Is the idea with TQ that we would trigger a mutation (edit the user's preferences) and then invalidate the TQ query on the user's theme provider so that the theme then updates? So the state is sort of doing a round-trip?:...
Generating docs for customer public api
Does anyone have experience making public api documentation for users? I have an api that has internal openapi/swagger docs, but I want to make the docs more customer friendly and open source so users can use the docs in their llms etc. If anyone has any tips on how to do this (besides manually), i would be grateful

Tailwind Class Order
Hello, i'm new to tailwind and trying to understand it better. I came across one of theo's video about tailwind in which he talked a bit about
declaration order. source.
How does tailwind solve the "declaration order" problem he talks about? I tried it myself with the following example:

Hey folks, I'm looking for some guidance on the best way to approach oauth in the way I like (and generally have) to build apps.
My general stack these days, is to use NextJS with RSC for everything frontend, i.e. fetching data on the server and heavily using Suspense etc. when building UI, but using some other tool for the backend. For personal projects I'd use Laravel, at work there is Java Springboot - I'm currently looking at a project using NestJS - point is, the backend and thus all the "brains" of my apps is outside of Next - so heavily using the backend-for-a-frontend pattern.
Now, mostly the way I've always handled authentication with this is just standard email+password logins. So;...

how the hell did yall do this (react perf question)
anyone here know how t3chat renders new message blocks without rerendering the entire message? am trying to replicate this but can't seem to figure it out (notice how my list of blocks is rerendered every time a new block comes in vs t3chat only rendering new blocks) 🤔
my only guess is that t3chat isn't using a list of blocks?

AI memory capabilities and access to project files
I love T3 chat as a concept. When DeepSeek R1 was released I started to build my own chat UI for it but didn't finish it. T3 chat is near perfect tool for basic chat AI usage. I love the ability to choose any AI I want for different things with reasonable cost.
What I need for my work is the AI to remember longer chat history and/or access to project files. Is this even possible with current AI tools? If yes, is something like this possible to integrate with T3 chat? Project files could include:
- Project Summary: this would be similar to your first prompt when starting a new project, a guideline to the AI what we are working on which the AI can look into with each prompt if needed
- Code files: AI could always look into project files and review up to date code when suggesting improvements or new code....
