In most examples I know, if not all, OpenAI uses English. But OpenAI actually supports multiple languages both as input and output. But how well does OpenAI support the different languages? I set out to find out, completely unscientifically.

I googled around and found a long list of supported languages. I initially implemented all the languages and then tested to what extent OpenAI can actually write meaningful and relatively complex text in them.

Site search enables you to search on various sites directly from the browser’s search bar. The implementation is rather low tech but it is useful for both remembering high-quality search engines and avoid having to navigate to a site first in order to use its search engine.

To add a site search to your browser, in this case Brave or Chrome, go to the settings page and search for “Site Search” or copy paste this: brave://settings/searchEngines?search=Site+Search.

I Started a small bootstrapped startup in the aftermath of corona after being stuck in home office for, well, years. As a developer one of my main hurdle wasn’t building features but marketing. I used the regular channels social media, Product Hunt and SEO and they worked, but growth just isn’t rising fast enough that I can make a living out of it. So when Google Ads offered a deal where you spend $400 to get $400 on decided to try it.

Next.js has become not only the leading framework for building React-powered web apps but also a simple way to develop and deploy JavaScript applications with less manual configuration. The developer ergonomics are great. The CLI installer sets up the whole repository with Typescript, Lint, watch mode, configuration files and other basics. There are many deployment options from fully managed to self-hosting. A fully managed deployment solution can get pricey (long running functions can easily ram up the bill) and have technical limitations.

Server components enable you to render the entire pages on the server without messing around with API endpoints and data fetching logic. But handling the different states remains an issue for the optimal usability experience. Without handling these states the user interface feels sluggish while waiting for the server response and an error would render the entire screen useless with a white screen of death. Not ideal, but strategies to mitigate these undesirable behaviors do exist and are easy to use.
