utils.setData vs useState for client-side state
Are there any known downsides to using utils.setData over useState to manage client state of objects.

Does UploadThing support converting videos to H.264 + AAC during upload?
I want to take a video from a public URL, check if it's encoded with H.264 for video and AAC for audio. If it isn't, I need to convert it to that format. After that, I want to either stream it or upload it to UploadThing. I don’t want to store the video permanently, usually the videos will be stored for 7d.
How to make suspense work properly?
Hello guys, i have an next js app, and there is a catalog page, in ssr component i'm making fetch request for data and wraps this component in suspense with skeleton fallback, but on navigation it awaits request to be resolved and only then redirects me to the catalog page. What's the problem and how to redirect user immediately and show fallback while data is fetching?
here is an example https://stackblitz.com/edit/next-playground-oe67nrlp?file=app%2Fpage.tsx,app%2Fcatalog%2Fpage.tsx...
T3 Chat auth headaches
Theo did a video some months ago mentioning a bug in an auth library used for T3 Chat that caused him some headaches (some IDs did not match). Today, I was wondering if he was talking about Better Auth or OpenAuth, but I can't find the video. Could someone with a better memory help me out solving this mystery, please! Thanks in advance!

When do I move to/start learning AWS (or similar)?
Hey! I'm looking for some perspective here.
I've been self-hosting everything for a while. Started with a VPS, added a few more when needed, and now running a dedicated server with Proxmox. Coolify handles app deployment across VMs. This setup works really good for hosting a bunch of websites, web apps, and a few small game servers.
Now I’m wondering:...
Custom system prompt?
Are entire custom system prompts still not available on t3.chat? Saw online it's not a feature but there were considerations of it. Wondering if that was ever added. Very important feature imo.
UTAPI uploadFiles failing. Invalid URL
I'm building a mobile app using Expo + React Native. I'm working with server actions so that I can easily use prisma etc.
The plan is to have a server action that lets me upload a file to Uploadthing. I can't use the provided expo package since all it exposes is a hook to open a camera or a file picker. In my use case this does not help me. I need to manually upload the file.
That's why I landed on using the UTAPI....
Solution:
Fixed:
Turns out this is happening because of two reasons:
1. Uploadthing uses and relies on the
UPLOADTHING_TOKEN env variable even when you hardcode the token (I didn't know that)...should i use socket io to handle my app chat events
I am building a chat app kinda of a discord clone using socket io i am thinking a lot about creating global listener using socket io for things like notifications , friend requests , users connection status or anything that should be handled in real time i have noticed in discord that when any of these events happen they happen in real time and quite fast actually for example if a friend connects to the app you immediately see the friend connection status change from offline to onlin...
How do you globally handle auth errors for tRPC Procedures in Server Components (clean cookies & red
I'm using Next.js App Router with a standalone tRPC server, and I'm hitting a wall with authentication error handling in Server Components.
Goal: I want to catch 401 errors from my tRPC procedures called in server components, clear cookies, and redirect the user to the login page — globally and cleanly.
What I Tried...
what's an ideal way to get path of a caller file
i've found the method that works for me, but it's too hacky to be true lmao
```js
function() {
let callerPath = new Error().stack!.split("\n")[2]!;
for (let i = 2; i > 0; i--) {...
Solution:
whatever, i use
process.cwd()Patterns for streaming AI responses to client without leaking API keys
When using services like Fal.ai or OpenRouter for big AI models, these providers usually implement streaming (which is awesome) - but it seems like a lot of effort and hand-rolling is still required to make streaming work without exposing API keys to the client. This is especially annoying with serverless backends like Next.js + Vercel.
To get LLM streaming working without client-side API keys, I've been using a pattern where one API route starts the stream and another route handles polling for updates.
So I'll have an endpoint called something like
startStream which does something like:...How on earth do I create an convex API Key?
Theo talks about it alot, using their ai, docs, my AI, etc; I can't find way to do so...
React Native question
Theo in the past has metioned (and demoed!) the differences between controlled and uncontrolled inputs in react native / Expo and showed how slow they can be.
It seems this is only really affects iOS, i am an android user so I have no way to verify.
It looks like Dan Abramov made some noise about this, the team stated it was a regression, and it's (maybe?) no longer an issue....
