Affiliate disclosure: I’m an independent Payhip Partner. The optional signup link at the end is my partner link; I may receive a commission from Payhip if a referred seller generates eligible revenue. I am not a Payhip employee or official representative. A creator selling one template or downloadable guide does not need to write a payment backend. The safer architecture is usually: Carrd or static page ↓ Payhip product page or direct checkout ↓ Hosted payment and product delivery Your public page explains the offer. The hosted commerce platform owns the payment flow. No card data, secret keys, or payment logic belongs in Carrd. This tutorial shows two link-based integrations and one optional embed route. Before you start You need: A published product in Payhip Its public product URL A button on your Carrd or static page A clear product description, support contact, and terms In Payhip, the product URL is available from the product’s Share / Embed controls. A typical product URL has this shape: https://payhip.com/b/PRODUCT_KEY Use your real product key in every example below. Option 1: Send visitors to the product page This is the safest default when the buyer still needs details before purchasing. In Carrd: Select the call-to-action button. Set its URL to your full Payhip product URL. Use a descriptive label such as View template details or See what’s included . Preview the page on desktop and mobile. On a conventional static site, the equivalent HTML is just an anchor: <a class= "product-button" href= "https://payhip.com/b/PRODUCT_KEY" > View product details </a> No JavaScript is required. Use this route when the Payhip product page contains important previews, license terms, compatibility notes, or variations that do not fit on your landing page. Option 2: Link directly to checkout If your landing page already gives the buyer everything needed to decide, a direct checkout removes an intermediate page. Payhip documents this URL format: https://payhip.com/buy?link=

Is Amp Crash a guitar amp or a guitar pedal? Yes. Death By Audio's latest is, in fact, both. While it's in a guitar pedal enclosure, Amp Crash is actually a tiny 3-watt amp hooked up to a 2-inch speaker. You can even connect an external speaker if you want. This isn't a digital re-creation […]

James Arthur shares why sync is the next frontier in frontend architecture. He explains how extending reactivity to the server with Electric and TanStack DB replaces imperative fetching with declarative data bindings. Learn how query-driven sync and local optimistic updates enable engineering leaders to build insanely fast, collaborative, and agentic applications using their existing stack. By James Arthur

Uma classe mãe deve ser capaz de ser substituída pelas suas classes filhas sem que a aplicação quebre. Isso na prática ajuda a organizar a ideia de herança, já que nos faz evitar estender uma classe mãe, apenas para depois remover um método já implementado ou fazer um “throw new Error(‘Not implemented’)”. Fazendo com que tenhamos mais cuidado no planejamento. O MAIOR SINTOMA DE ERRO Infelizmente é um sintoma que aparece de forma tardia, mas é justamente quando vamos fazer uma nova implementação. Você percebe que feriu o Liskov quando você vai construir uma classe ou subclasse e precisa lançar um erro proposital na implementação de um método. Justamente porque aquele método não deveria estar ali, mas está. UM EXEMPLO RUIM Por exemplo em um sistema de entregas. Nesse caso a classe “Delivery” deveria ser a mãe/base para as demais implementações. Mas a classe ‘MotoboyDelivery’ quebra isso. Exemplo de Código: // RUIM: A subclasse quebra o contrato da classe mãe. class Delivery { public calculateShipping (): number { return 15.0 ; } public getTrackingCode (): string { return " TRK123456789 " ; } } class MotoboyDelivery extends Delivery { public calculateShipping (): number { return 8.0 ; } // ERRO! Não tem código de rastreio. public getTrackingCode (): string { throw new Error ( " Motoboys não possuem código. " ); } } A SOLUÇÃO Para quem ainda não conhece o 'Liskov Substitution Principle', pode parecer que encaixar uma sequência de ifs é a solução. Mas na verdade o caminho ideal é repensar como essa abstração é construída. Um bom norte é pensar que uma classe filha sempre deve ser capaz de substituir o lugar da mãe, sem quebrar a aplicação. UM EXEMPLO BOM Ainda no sistema de entregas. ‘Delivery’ agora tem no meio do caminho ‘TrackableDelivery’. Com isso, cada “folha”/ponta da aplicação herda quem faz mais sentido e nada é quebrado. Exemplo de Código: interface Delivery { calculateShipping (): number ; } interface TrackableDelivery extends Delivery { getTrackingCode (): st

We archive whole web pages as PDFs. Under the hood each page is a full-height screenshot dropped onto a PDF page — which looks perfect and is completely useless the moment you want to use the text. Ctrl+F finds nothing. You can't copy a sentence. A screen reader opens the document and sees… an empty page with one big image. The fix is the same trick a "searchable scan" uses: draw the real text invisibly , on top of the image, at the exact coordinates where each word appears. The difference is that a scanner needs OCR to guess the text — we rendered the page ourselves , so we already have the ground truth. No OCR, no guessing. Here's how we built it with pdf-lib and @pdf-lib/fontkit , and the one part that turned out to be genuinely hard. The shape of it While the page is still open in the headless browser, ask the DOM where every word is. Assemble the PDF: embed the screenshot as the page background. For each word, drawText it at its coordinates with opacity: 0 . Steps 1 and 3 are easy. The trap is in which words you're allowed to draw. Step 1 — ask the browser where the words are Running inside the page (Puppeteer's page.evaluate ), we walk every text node and measure each word with a Range : const walker = document . createTreeWalker ( document . body , NodeFilter . SHOW_TEXT ); // ...for each word in each text node: const range = document . createRange (); range . setStart ( node , start ); range . setEnd ( node , end ); const rects = range . getClientRects (); if ( ! rects . length ) continue ; // display:none or empty line box const b = rects [ 0 ]; // first rect = where the word starts out . push ({ t : word , x : b . left + window . scrollX , // document coordinates, not viewport y : b . top + window . scrollY , w : b . width , h : b . height , fs : parseFloat ( getComputedStyle ( el ). fontSize ) || 12 , }); getClientRects() gives viewport coordinates, so we add scrollX/scrollY to get document coordinates — the ones that line up with a full-page screenshot.

Converting PDF to Word seems straightforward, but the reality is more complex. PDF stores text as character coordinates, while Word uses structured paragraphs. Bridging this gap requires careful text extraction and order reconstruction. Here's how to build a browser-based PDF to Word converter with Vue 3 and pdf-lib . The challenge: PDF vs Word PDF is a presentation format — text is positioned precisely on the page. Word is an editing format — text flows in paragraphs with styles. Converting between them means: Extracting text from PDF coordinates Reconstructing reading order Generating structured DOCX output The stack Vue 3 with Composition API pdf-lib for PDF parsing docx for Word document generation Vite for bundling The core implementation < script setup lang= "ts" > import { ref } from ' vue ' import { PDFDocument } from ' pdf-lib ' import { Document , Paragraph , TextRun } from ' docx ' const file = ref < File | null > ( null ) const processing = ref ( false ) const result = ref < Blob | null > ( null ) async function convertPdfToWord () { if ( ! file . value ) return processing . value = true const arrayBuffer = await file . value . arrayBuffer () const pdf = await PDFDocument . load ( arrayBuffer ) const pages = pdf . getPages () const allChunks : TextChunk [] = [] for ( const page of pages ) { const textContent = await page . getTextContent () for ( const item of textContent . items ) { allChunks . push ({ text : item . text , x : item . transform [ 4 ], y : item . transform [ 5 ], size : item . size }) } } // Sort by reading order const sorted = sortByReadingOrder ( allChunks ) // Generate DOCX const doc = new Document ({ sections : [{ properties : {}, children : sorted . map ( chunk => new Paragraph ({ children : [ new TextRun ( chunk . text )] }) ) }] }) const blob = await doc . pack () result . value = blob processing . value = false } interface TextChunk { text : string x : number y : number size : number } function sortByReadingOrder ( chunks : TextCh

Vercel has released Next.js 16.3, featuring significant updates since version 16.0. Enhancements include reduced memory usage during development, accelerated build times, and improved type checking. Instant Navigations introduces faster, client-like responses while maintaining server-rendered architecture. Developers are advised to gradually adopt new features due to noted caveats.

Artificial intelligence (AI) makes all code write-only,. It’s too dense to read, and tests define the behaviour and become the documentation. Code is also disposable; it becomes easier to rewrite than to debug. Humans can't review AI-generated code at scale. Intent decouples from implementation; developers should focus on creativity.

The Poolease X1 can collect leaves from the pool floor, but dirt, silt, walls, and steps are all beyond its pay grade.

Last year, Audi announced that it gave its all-EV-by-2033 plan the boot, and instead will offer a mix of gasoline, hybrid, and electrified propulsion. There's no doubt still some uncertainty among bigger automakers - especially those under the Volkswagen Group umbrella - when it comes to such a (now prior) commitment. Even so, what it's […]

Most developers building frontend applications spend a lot of time writing code that communicates with their backend due to the traditional approach (using APIs). This is not because the logic is hard to implement, but because the communication itself is complex. When using standard APIs, we build routes, define request and response models, generate clients, and keep multiple layers on track with application updates. Instead of exposing backend functionality through REST endpoints and consuming it through HTTP clients, Graftcode exposes backend methods directly and generates packages that applications can install and use as dependencies. The result is a communication model that is like you are calling a library rather than consuming an API with strongly typed clients. Working with Graftcode is very simple: install your library and call its functions. In this article, we'll be building a simple task tracker or to-do list application using React and a TypeScript backend to see what working with Graftcode looks like. In this blog post, we will learn the following: Why API layers require you to maintain APIs manually How Graftcode exposes backend functionality through Graftcode Gateway How Graftcode Vision helps discover backend capabilities Familiarity with APIs and fetch() requests How React applications can use TypeScript backend logic without building API routes Why strongly-typed backend packages can improve developer experience Prerequisites Let’s get our hands a bit dirty, but before we do, there are some need-to-haves to get you started. Let’s have a look at that in this section: Latest Node version installed on your machine Basic knowledge of React and TypeScript Familiarity with how APIs and fetch requests work (for understanding how easy Graftcode’s approach is) A Graftcode account Graftcode gateway installed on your local machine With these prerequisites, you’ll first understand why most to-do list applications rely heavily on APIs for their logic and what c

Here's a modal close-on-Escape that quietly does the wrong thing: function Modal ({ onClose }: { onClose : () => void }) { useEffect (() => { const onKey = ( e : KeyboardEvent ) => { if ( e . key === " Escape " ) onClose (); }; window . addEventListener ( " keydown " , onKey ); return () => window . removeEventListener ( " keydown " , onKey ); }, [ onClose ]); return < div role = "dialog" > … </ div >; } If the parent passes an inline onClose={() => setOpen(false)} — and it almost always does — onClose is a new function on every render, so this effect tears the listener down and adds a fresh one on every single render of the parent. Drop onClose from the deps to stop the churn and you get the other bug: the listener now holds the first render's onClose forever, and closing the modal calls a stale closure. You can't win this with a dependency array, because the two things you want are in direct conflict: subscribe once , but always run the newest handler . The fix is to separate them — register the listener on a stable identity, and call through a ref that's kept current. useEventListener from @reactuses/core is that split, packaged. This post covers what it actually does under the hood, the four ways to name a target, exactly what TypeScript infers for each one (this part surprises people), the options that don't retrigger, and the two gotchas worth knowing before you ship it. Quick Start npm install @reactuses/core import { useEventListener } from " @reactuses/core " ; function Modal ({ onClose }: { onClose : () => void }) { useEventListener ( " keydown " , ( e ) => { if ( e . key === " Escape " ) onClose (); }); return < div role = "dialog" > … </ div >; } That's the whole fix. No dependency array, no useCallback on the parent, no cleanup to remember. The listener is added to window once when the component mounts and removed when it unmounts; the arrow function you passed is re-created on every render and it doesn't matter, because the listener never re-registers

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry . Remember that one Regular Show episode where Skips tried to destroy the park's computer because it caught the Error 220 bug? He took one look at it, picked up a sledgehammer and said the line we’ve all felt as devs: “ There’s something evil in that computer. We gotta smash it ”. In the cartoon, they literally smash the computer and this works to fix the bug. In real life? We don’t get sledgehammers. We get Github PRs. Last week, I almost felt like Skips. I found a one-line bug in an open source repo that could’ve broken Instagram webhook security. No hammer, no explosion, just one misindented ‘if’ statement and a missing test. This is the story of how the smallest fix had the biggest impact. -The Challenge So what was my Error 220 ? While contributing to the corsair open-source repo, I found a security breach in the Instagram webhook handler. Something about the verification flow felt off, so I started tracing it line by line. The code called timingSafeEqual but the result was indecisive. I took an extensive look at it and that's when I saw it- The if statement meant to guard the check was there, but timingSafeEqual was indented wrong. It was meant to return the result of timingSafeEqual to accept or reject the request, but it fell through instead. Although it was running, its return value wasn’t being used to control the flow. This bug was tiny-one mis-indented line- but it had a great impact. In JS, it is not considered an error and so it’s easy to miss. Webhook security relies on a signature check to prove a request. If timingSafeEqual isn’t actually enforcing it, an attacker could forge a webhook and it would be accepted. The entire protection could fall apart over one tab. View PR #759 -The Fix In fixing it, I opened PR#759 to correct the indentation so crypto.timingSafeEqual would be inside the if block and its boolean result would decide whether to return true or false .

Building in public You explain your deploy setup to your assistant. It helps. Tomorrow you explain the same setup again. And the day after. You are not training it. You are re-typing. The tool nobody asked for I did not set out to build a product. I set out to stop repeating myself. My setup is four servers with names that mean nothing to anyone else, a tunnel with a numbering scheme I keep getting wrong, and a dozen small traps that only exist because of decisions I made two years ago. Every new session started from zero. So I gave the assistant a place to write things down, and a way to read them back before it started working. Two calls: one to save what was learned, one to recall it. That was the whole idea. For six weeks it had exactly one user. Nobody else could have used it, because I had not written a single line of documentation. Six weeks of being my own only customer That stretch turned out to be the most valuable part, and not because of what got built. Because of what got measured. When you are the only user, every rough edge lands on you within a day. A recall that returns the wrong thing costs you the next hour. A save that silently drops a field costs you the next week, when you go looking for it. I kept a count of the times the memory actually prevented a mistake. Not a feeling, a count. After six weeks it was high enough that I stopped arguing with myself about whether the thing was worth the effort. The uncomfortable part: several of those saved lessons were about mistakes I had already made twice. The tool did not make me smarter. It made me stop paying for the same lesson. The moment it stopped being a personal tool The thought that changed it was not a market analysis. It was smaller and more honest: if I find this useful, and my setup is not special, then somebody else is retyping their own servers right now. That is a weak argument on its own. Plenty of internal tools are useful precisely because they fit one person. So I looked for the part

Last week, Microsoft released Aspire 13.5, an update that refreshes the dashboard and the aspire.dev homepage and adds several quality-of-life features. The Interaction Service gains file imports and progress dialogs; resources can host an interactive terminal in the dashboard, and deployment adds Kubernetes persistent volumes and cross-scope Azure references.

Flux has introduced Flux Mirror, a CLI plugin that mirrors container images, Helm charts and OCI artifacts between registries from a declarative configuration. The plugin is part of the Flux v2.9 CLI plugin system and is presented as a way to keep Kubernetes clusters reconciling only from registries that teams operate themselves. By Matt Saunders

Priya was three paragraphs into rewriting a support ticket when the page flashed and her draft reverted to what it had looked like an hour earlier. She hadn't refreshed. Nobody had. The service worker had. It was running a cache-first strategy for ticket pages — fetch once, serve from cache after that, so the dashboard felt instant on a flaky connection. The intent was to cache /tickets/482 , the read-only view, and leave /tickets/482/edit alone, since an edit form is exactly the page you never want served stale. Here's the line that decided which was which: const isTicketView = /^ \/ tickets \/\d +/ . test ( pathname ); Spot it yet? Read it once more before you scroll. The missing character was $ /^\/tickets\/\d+/ anchors the start of the string — ^ — but never anchors the end. So it matches /tickets/482 . It also matches /tickets/482/edit , /tickets/482/history , and /tickets/482-anything-at-all , because "one or more digits after /tickets/ " is true of all of them. The regex was never wrong about what it checked. It just never checked enough. The one-character fix is obvious once you see it: const isTicketView = /^ \/ tickets \/\d +$/ . test ( pathname ); Ship that and you'll hit the next edge case within a week: a trailing slash ( /tickets/482/ ) now fails to match, because $ demands nothing comes after the digits — not even a slash. Add \/? before the $ and you've fixed that one. Then someone deep-links to /tickets/482?tab=history and the query string breaks the anchor again, because pathname on some code paths actually holds the full URL. Each fix is a patch on the last, and every patch is a chance to reintroduce the first bug in a new shape. This is the part nobody tells you about hand-rolled URL matching: it isn't hard because regex is hard. It's hard because "does this path match this shape" has a dozen boundary conditions, and a hand-written pattern only encodes the ones you happened to think of on the day you wrote it. The API built for exactly this job T

React solved rendering. Dashforge tries to solve orchestration — theming, forms, permissions, and visibility moved out of your components, declaratively, predictably, reusably. Two skins (MUI and Tailwind), one contract. Building complex applications isn't about building components. Inside a single module you're juggling forms, permissions, roles, visibility conditions, fields that depend on other fields, business logic. And all that logic ends up scattered across the app : a <Controller> here, an if (user.role === …) there, a useEffect watching one field to update another, a context for theming. If React solves the rendering problem, Dashforge tries to solve the orchestration problem. Dashforge moves that complexity out of the components and makes it declarative, predictable, and reusable . At its core it uses react-hook-form ; on top of it, a stable contract — identical across the MUI and Tailwind editions. Let's go through it piece by piece. 1. Theming — token-first, build-time and run-time Components don't hard-code colors or spacing: they consume typed design tokens ( @dashforge/tw-tokens , a pure TypeScript package, zero runtime). From there, the tokens travel on two rails. Build-time — the utilities. A Tailwind preset emits the usual utilities ( bg-primary-600 , text-neutral-900 ): // tailwind.config.ts import { dashforgePreset } from ' @dashforge/tw-theme ' ; export default { presets : [ dashforgePreset ()], content : [ ' ./src/**/*.{ts,tsx} ' ] }; Run-time — the CSS variables. The provider republishes those same tokens as CSS variables on <html> : < DashforgeTailwindProvider > < App /> </ DashforgeTailwindProvider > Here's the trick: bg-primary-600 doesn't resolve to a fixed color — it resolves to var(--tw-color-primary-500) . The provider sets that variable; change the variable, the color changes — no re-render, no Tailwind rebuild. The store is reactive (Valtio) with cross-tab sync, so dark mode or a live theme change is just a variable flip. In the MUI e
