Welcome to the readitlater wiki!

This is a central spot to write down why some architectural decisions were made.

Meta

Monorepo

• Initially had this as a Hono-in-Next.js app, but debugging the backend was too difficult, and I had implicitly locked myself into a hono/vercel edge implementation
• Bun lets me have a monorepo with no-additional tooling

Bun

• Faster than node
• I wanted to avoid overhead of transpile

UI

Nextjs

• React-router guys did React-router-guys things with Remix

API

Hono

• Lightweight API layer, which is extremely fast
• Works very nicely with Bun
• Loving the API
• Seemingly as robust as Fastify ecosystem
• Lightweight RPC support is awesome!

Drizzle

• Prisma has too many footguns
