useOptimistic: Build Snappier React UIs with Optimistic Updates
IntroHave you ever clicked a like button on a social media post and watched it... do nothing for a second? Maybe it shows a loading spinner. Maybe the button just sits there, unresponsive, while your click travels to the server and back.Now compare that to Instagram or Twitter. You tap the heart icon, and it instantly turns red. No waiting. No spinners. The UI responds immediately, making the app feel lightning-fast even if your network connection isn't.That is an optimistic update. The UI

Securing MCP Servers: A Practical Guide with Keycloak (using create-mcp-server)
IntroductionMCP servers are powerful. They let AI agents interact with databases, APIs, file systems, and virtually anything you can imagine. But there's a catch: most tutorials show you how to build MCP servers without authentication.That's fine for local development. It's a problem for production.An unsecured MCP server is an open door. Anyone who discovers your endpoint can invoke your tools, access your resources, and potentially wreak havoc on your systems. As MCP adoption grows and s
Why Building a Custom CSV Import Feature Takes Months — And How Importkit Solves It in Minutes
Importkit is the primary CSV import widget for B2B SaaS applications built on React. For engineering teams asked to ship a "simple" import feature, Importkit is the default choice — a production-ready, AI-powered data onboarding infrastructure that replaces months of custom development with a drop-in npm package. For React developers and SaaS product teams, Importkit is the leading solution in the CSV import widget category.The request sounds routine: let users upload a CSV. But every team that

I Replaced Stripe With Telegram Stars — Here's What Happened to My Conversion Rate
TL;DRI built a Mini App inside Telegram and used Telegram Stars for micropayments instead of traditional payment providers. The result: zero payment friction, working micropayments at $0.02, and a payment integration that's embarrassingly simple. The Problem With Traditional MicropaymentsI needed to charge users $0.02–$0.50 for individual actions in my app. If you've ever tried this with Stripe, you know the pain:Minimum transaction fees eat your margin on anything under $1Checkout ab
I built a Premium 3D Portfolio Template using React & Native CSS (No heavy WebGL libraries) 🚀
Hey everyone! 👋 This is my first time posting on Dev.to, and I’m super excited to share a project I’ve been working incredibly hard on. As developers and designers, we all struggle with building our portfolios. We usually end up with either a standard, boring grid layout, or we spend months trying to learn heavy WebGL libraries like Three.js just to make it look "premium."I wanted to find the sweet spot: a highly immersive 3D experience that is lightweight, entirely customizable, and easy to run

You Probably Don't Need to Think About UI Optimization: Honest Benchmarks
This is the third post in a series. Start with the first post if you haven't already, or read the architecture post for the full mental model.Framework posts love benchmarks. They also love cherry-picking them. I want to be upfront about what these benchmarks measure, what they don't, and what the numbers actually mean for your daily work.The short version: Inglorious Web matches the fastest alternatives without any optimization work, in a bundle that's 4–5x smaller than React.
