[@t3dotgg]

UPDATES: - create-t3-app now uses latest Next, which should fix some bugs with hot reloading on parallel routes - MAKE SURE YOU USE THE DEFAULT PREFIX WHEN SETTING UP VERCEL POSTGRES - Clerk Core 2 is no longer in beta! If you just `pnpm install @clerk/nextjs` you will have this version now :) Oh also - GITHUB REPO IS HERE: github.com/t3dotgg/t3gallery

Should I use dependency injection with posthog? if in case I want to migrate to something like mixpanel?

[@georgepetroff2364]

Thanks Theo, amazing tutorial as always ❤Recently you are bringing back the vibes of the time when pokemon roundest was around 😁would be amazing bringing new updated version of it tho'. UPLOADTHING is a game changer, finally something more about it too

[@qwerasdfhjkio]

"primeagen still had a job"🤣

[@lukem121]

Wow nice, I have been looking forward to a video that isn't you reading an article or documentation. It's nice to see some actual programming 😁 Thank you for the vid!

[@Amruth]

Honestly, this is the kind of content I subscribed for. Really respect Theo for putting out content like this for free that's extremely useful and especially targeted towards intermediate devs. A lot of the content is only for beginners.

[@RobertMcGovernTarasis]

Indeed, only came across Theo a little while back and only ever seen him as a talking head. Not an actual coder, so this was quite informative

[@Joseph-Codes]

Watch his lives

[@good_eats876]

Amazing comment !!!!!

[@crowlsyong]

I agree

[@R0cky0]

Yo, I want to appreciate for the amount of work and effort you put into this also by not putting up a paywall and choosing not to take the easy path. Making this available (for free) to the community is truly commendable. Your work is worth so much more than those who charge for courses however are much less informative than this. A million thanks!

[@carvierdotdev]

Yes and yes. I completely agree with you. I feel that we are very lucky to have such incredible people in the JS community with such background..

[@t3dotgg]

THANK YOU

[@akinoreh]

@@t3dotgg It'd be nice if this was also a playlist with shorter videos. It's easier to consume that way. Personally, I won't be watching this in one go. While having chapters help, it's still one video. Haven't started yet, but I'm curious how beginner friendly this is. While I'm good at JS, I haven't tried any front-end library/framework (although, I keep tabs on them). So I think it requires some kind of leap from plain JS to front-end libraries. I currently have that mental gap. Hope this helps a little.

[@RogueTravel]

@@akinorehI’d be so sad if this was broken up into a playlist.

[@akinoreh]

@@RogueTravel Notice the "also". Besides, what's the advantage of a single video (contrary to a playlist)?

[@JSLegendDev]

@@akinoreh As someone who makes programming tutorials (JavaScript gamedev tutorials), there are big negatives with publishing in multiple parts. Here are the main two : - Next parts will always make progressively less views than the first part giving the impression that your channel is dying. - It clutters your channel and makes it hard to find content.

[@lasso01]

Amazing content. I don't usually watch that many tutorials anymore, but this feels exactly what i needed to hone my skills with all the new stuff. Thanks Theo!

[@woet7891]

Love it! Was needing this a lot 🙏🙏 Most tutorials out there tend to leave important stuff out that's needed for any decent production application like the error monitoring, event tracking and rate limiting so it was super useful to see how you're tackling this

[@oxnull738]

Finally, a video where you're not just reading from an article.

[@joshuaborseth]

The hair covering your face is giving me OG roundest Pokémon theo vibes

[@t3dotgg]

This was semi intentional

[@CharlieBelvo18]

Incredible tutorial, maybe the best overview I"ve ever seen to build and deploy a webapp. Thanks Theo for showing the rest of us the way

[@johnbauer9907]

Thank you. I dont use any of this stack except for typescript and it is nice to see the start to finish...

[@madhudson1]

haven't watched it yet, but the fact that you've put this out for free is incredible

[@mchisolm0]

Thanks again for the tutorial. Finally made it through and I feel I have learned a lot. Appreciate your time and the sponsors' willingness to partner with you to make it happen.

[@julietaparpinelli7162]

This video is just amazing! Thank you so much!! I appreciate that we can all see you coding and facing real-life errors and being honest about them. 👏

[@ErikTheHalibut]

Theo, please keep making tutorials like this! This is extremely helpful as a learning dev.

[@metatronicx]

Thank you Theo for this video. Thanks for showing us how we should manage and succeed in every project. Y'all dev brothers, never forget to-do lists. They are crucial

[@Fanaro]

Crazy that a master software engineer such as Theo has infra this accessible and simple.

[@user-dm8sw5qn4p]

Theo, just four words: you made amazing tutorial!!! Thank you

[@jacobvanschenck]

What a legend. Thank you sir for all the work you put into this. Something to learn here for any dev of any skill level!

[@codewithantonio]

Lets goooooooooo

[@t3dotgg]

I think you released 20 tutorials since I started planning this one 🙃

[@Blade_Dhruv]

Thanks to both of you, I was able to learn coding because of you guys, thanks my real teachers🙇🏻‍♂️

[@caiolaytynher5994]

Literally started learning this stuff yesterday, seems made for me

[@joeljededemekong5628]

This is a blessing fr I’m so thankful that this exists

[@desertislanddivs]

This was so awesome, thanks so much for pouring all the time, blood and syntax into it for us ^^

[@alexandermackintosh1755]

Thank you so much this is incredibly useful content!! Just as i decided like a week ago to take the plunge to learn a bit about next hahah ❤

[@recksonkhiangte1488]

Oh wow! This is crazy, thank you for putting this out.

[@jessequartey]

Watching this, i realize how much influence Theo has. I use most of these technologies in my production apps. And the startups i build for might keep using them for a long time too. I hope they are paying you a lot of money for the market you bring.

[@prickitt]

This is great, thanks for making it!

[@zainraz4]

YESSS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! Can’t wait to watch and follow along!

[@xyz66z]

I love this guy! Teaches so natural. I'm yet to become the dev this video is meant for but I'd be soon! I'd be coming back that time ❤.

[@NaranuCS]

Great tutorial btw, I'm starting to branch out towards next.js and react coming from Java and PHP (not together but from my last two jobs) so is extremely exciting to see how powerful all these tools are!

[@AlexanderJuncosa342]

Damn I was actually watching the old tutorial, this came just at the right time :D Great content!

[@nikensss]

6:23 right! so let's build a todo-list app first! haha Great video, I was actually considering asking somewhere if there were plans for a tutorial after the recent changes in so many technologies and platforms. Thanks a ton for videos like this. Introductory tutorials are nice, but at some point people start needing next level content, and this is about it!

[@zilvinas5130]

Just finished tutorial. Gotta say, gallery app was, in my opinion, an amazing choice for a project to showcase RSCs. For me, handling file uploads, storage, all the authentication that comes with it, was always a stressful experience and seamless integration this project provides is an amazing resource. 10/10. Keep up the amazing work, Theo!

[@divyanshrawat2859]

bro my drizzle sudio is not opening at 4983 instead its showing 404 error , can you help ?

[@Oseille]

just finished this awesome tutorial, the modal is not closing when deleting the image from the photo modal, but it works from the photo page. very valuable content to kickstart nextjs learning.

[@dehrk9024]

idk what it is but theos videos make me so ready & awake & never give up never back down

Congrats on the React Status Cooperpress newsletter headline mention. Love your channel and the work you do

[@dian_youtubes]

This was amazing! Thank you Theo!

[@23rbnHD]

0 to Production with Full Test Coverage. That would be such an interesting follow up. Breaking down how each of the best practices and starting points your tutorial covers would fit into a CI testing stack (end to end and unit). That said, so far, so really really helpful. Thanks a bunch.

[@rohitkochikkatfrancis]

THE TUTORIAL WE ALL NEEDED !!!!

Theo you are a ROCKSTAR! I can barely contain my excitement to work through this tutorial. Thank you!

[@Fanaro]

This tutorial is just so good.

[@JohnSmith-gu9gl]

you really have to give Remix a try! less overhead and feels like a simple express middleware.

[@JoctanNeves]

Thanks Theo, this video are amazing!

[@jhkmatthews]

thanks Theo, great vid! at 1:40:45 - another approach that I like for breaking down changes into smaller commits is using VSCode Source Control tab to stage changes file by file (or line by line) for each commit

[@vitorwindberg4212]

yeah you can use terminal for that but I also use vscode interface for that, super useful and a lot easier to visualize

[@t1m3__]

Thanks Theo, it's a great tutorial!

[@warricksullivan]

Thanks Theo. Loved this video. Nice work and very much appreciated. You hinted at your thoughts on trpc uses. Do you have any more detailed content on your use cases for trpc with nextjs app router? Keep up the great work. :)

thank for for this theo 🙏everybody pump up the algorithm RAHHH

[@keithjohnson6510]

Just started using Drizzle, gets a thumbs up from me. Of course the typing's are a real +, but what I really like is that you can use composition to build your query's. eg. lets assume you have a complex sub query you want to say do an `inArray` with, you can then create a function and re-use in other query's, you could say it's a bit like Views but been able to use props, and of course still have strong typing's. Nice!!!!

[@MrMazvaz]

Quick tip using as a modal. To style the backdrop, just use the ::backdrop pseudo-class. In tailwind it would be className="backdrop:bg-zinc-900/50". This way you dont have to worry about the margins and having it cover the entire screen etc. The backdrop is already there for you

[@Goglarnik]

I rarely comment on any videos at all, but felt the need to say: "Thank you". Thank you :)

[@user-vh3xr2cj8b]

Thank you very much for the tutorial, Can you please make a tutorial about how to elegantly organize and maintain folder structures and files according to industry standard?

[@KjetilYtrehus]

More of this! More tutorials. More projects. More ShadcnUI component modifications. More interacting with databases and fetching different content. More State management tutorials (Zustand?). More Github Actions....

[@MikeNugget]

Great, this is what I was waiting for! When is the next one for React Native? 😊

[@AbdulRafay-vi6hz]

As a former web developer who now develops Android and iOS applications, I've noticed that web development has become more complex than ever.

Awesome video! I definitely learnt a few things from the walkthrough. One thing that irks me though is when adding new env vars to your local repo and then having to remember to add them into vercel. I use Doppler to have them sync in both places. the dev experience is really nice. wondering what your thoughts are on tools like Doppler?

[@Sammysapphira]

great video. There's such a lack of intermediate videos like this.

[@orvvro]

There are plenty, they're just not free, and hosted on sites like Coursera and Udemy

[@PRICEGWX]

Great video!! You mentioned at the start that you'd go over where TPRC is still valuable in full stack apps, did I miss this? I'm wondering at what point I'd need to start using it rather than server actions...

[@Alivezombie16]

I'd also love to see a video where you highlight the modularity - like migrating from Prisma to drizzle in a prod app

Fantastic tutorial! For someone who has never used TS/TW/analytics/ratelimiting....I managed to follow along just fine, and even understand, (i think) what was going on! Either way it works so thank you @t3dogg for such a great walkthrough

[@RobinVeldhuis]

Commenting before watching because of the algorithm

[@danielugbeye2545]

Thanks for the video Theo, but how about error handling, I can see some errors being thrown, but not how they are handled especially in the server actions. Would love to see how to handle them
