Yeah, I get it, there are themes and plugins, but still, all of them are ugly.
And that's just the surface, I've had a few deeper complaints too.
Maybe that's the case for you, but that's far from universal. I have zero need for any adapters. At work, I can use usb-c to connect to my monitor, and if I need to present in a meeting room, I do it wirelessly.
At home, I can use airplay to share my screen to my TV.
You can reasonably handle those in next.js as well!
For backend, I use hasura: https://hasura.io/opensource/
It's a GraphQL backend, that wraps a postgresql database, and handles the heavy lifting. GraphQL is very easy to work with in the javascript/typescript ecosystem.
For admin UI, they're very easy to build with react-admin: https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin
Wrapping them inside next.js is actually doable too, if that's a requirement (or it can be it's own react app, and you can share components between them).
> in its worse its little different from having a micro manager in a on-site office experience
That itself is a pretty horrible thing, and I'm glad I don't have to work for people like you.
It let's you schedule exports of some of your data to multiple sources. I use it to sync to Google Sheets, where I can easily build diagrams and data from it.
The comment that you replied to:
> You can just say "they".
Was a reply to this:
> S/he already did. We just don't know yet.
Which was talking about the mars rover.
I think this is everything wrong with the world currently. Provide you with a chart, so I can justify using gender neutral pronoun?

This is barely more than a year old, is it already outdated? I am an asshole for daring to use “they”?
> Majority of people can afford one non-local vacation every year
Maybe in the UK, but come to Eastern Europe, and try telling that to people. No, we absolutely can’t.
> You are comparing unpaid holiday to paid holiday I’m comparing them, but not conflating them.
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_b... The average number of paid vacation days offered by private employers is 10 days after 1 year of service, 14 days after 5 years, 17 days after 10 years, and 20 days after 20 years.[186][189
I’d be okay with earning 3/4x times as much, and having to negotiate vacation days, versus not earning enough to go on a vacation in the first place.
> The choice is obvious. In non-extreme examples, in the UK I have 28 PAID days of holiday allowance every year.
Your non-extreme example is 40% more than what I have, so again, how is that not extreme?
> Women in the UK […] Nothing else needs to be said
So it’s fine in your country, end of story, and fuck me for living somewhere where that’s not the case. Got it.
> you listing some tax stuff in the UK
Non of that here.
> No it isn't free any more in the UK, but it is in most of Europe
So let me get this straight, when it’s good in the uk, than “nothing else needs to be said”, when it isn’t, you just wave your hand that it’s free in most of Europe. Okay.
> This again is complete nonsense. Having free healthcare doesn't prevent you from paying for private healthcare
I am (well, my employer) is paying for it, because I don’t want to wait a year for small stuff. The funny thing is, it costs less than what the government is taking from my salary for healhtcare.
> not acute life threatening conditions. You don't have to wait to have an urgent operation
No, not for an urgent one, but for important, quality of life improving operations you absolutely have to. Yeah, they won’t let you bleed out on the street corner, but that’s a fucking low bar.
> you can get non-urgent medical procedures done "free" should you wish to wait. Because healthcare is a basic human right in Europe
Again, not true, healthcare is not a basic human right in Europe. There are various laws in some Europen countries about denying you care if you don’t pay, and they’l even send the tax collection agency after you for the price of a life saving operation.
> Pensions
Which pay like shit, and there’s a high probability that all will collapse by the time I’d get to "enjoy it”.
> worker rights
It was very convenient that you ignore my comment about discrimination against hiring women of child bearing age. Workers rights sounds nice, but the reality is far from ideal. We also have a law that was dubbed “slave law”, because it allowed companies to have absurd amount of overtime without extra compensation.
> public transportation
Which has nothing to do with socialism? It’s not free, and it’s even more expensive in the UK.
> surely YOU must know better than them
Of quit it. Why are attacking me? You started off saying "Socialism is not just free healthcare, it's a mentality”, and I, someone who lives in a socialist country, that was with very part of the literal social soviet block, tell you that NO, it’s not all rainbows and unicorns, and than you have the audacity, from the UK, to tell me that I’m wrong??? The UK is one of the richest countries in the world, and ex empire. Let’s not compare some socialism things of a monarchy, with actual socialism.
How is this offensive to anyone??
That's just absurd, of course an iPhone is not food...
However,
- You can use your iPhone to take pictures of your food
- You can look up how to cook food
- You can order food
- You can use it in jobs, that help you earn money to buy food
- The people in china who assemble them do it, so they can buy food - etc...
Everything is about food, just like sex, because those two are among the most important things for survival of an individual and the species.
And after that what? Continue taxing the highly productive people, while letting those whose jobs were automated away, live the rest of their lives doing nothing?
> holiday If you earn significantly more, you can just take unpaid vacation. Also, quite a lot of companies voluntarily offer more paid vacation days. On the other hand, I have 20+ days off, but can't afford to go to any interesting place.
> maternity leave New mothers can have up to 3 years break from work, except this means that there's rampant discrimination against women of child bearing age.
> public spaces What do you mean by this?
> tax incentives That 99% of population can't take advantage of.
> tuition University is not free in the UK either. From what I found quickly, in-state tuition in public US universities is comparable to tuition in England.
> healthcare Left my favorite to the last. Yeah, it's free. But need to get something done?
- Want a hip replacement? 219 to 1300 days. - Need a radiofrequency ablation? 42 to 279 days. - Have to get your tonsil removed? 57 to 609 days. - Have a gallstone? 109 to 469 days.
The numbers are not a typo, nor did I cherry pick them, just the first random numbers for the website that tracks them. So yeah, it's free, but you absolutely get what you pay for: shit.
Now please, tell me, how good socialism is :)
Companies rarely exist to give employees more money; their goal is to increase the wealth of their owners.
English is the closest thing we have to a common human language.
> to learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize
As someone who lives in a country where you can't criticize certain people, because the full force of the government can come at you, it's certainly true.
But the personal views of whoever said it should not matter when evaluating it's validity.
A few days pass, and it's gone. The more extensions I installed, the slower everything became.
And have you considered buying it?
Also, how did you start marketing it/getting your first users?
To the author: It looks like your site is using next.js. You can use the `Link` component for this purpose: https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next/link
Just take a look at this video, and the apps ui, and tell me this isn't a clusterfuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y35WiKNbCU
So yeah, for a simple flashcard app, it might be easy to use, but if that's all you need there're better tools.
As for it being free.... Yes, and that bothers me. I would rather pay $$$ for a great product than use an okay one for free.
It's only natural that most people gravitate towards easier to use and nicer looking software.
