Let’s add a Solidity development stack in our codebase — If you haven’t seen my last three posts setting up our project thus far, check out part one, part two, and part three. We set up a NextJS boilerplate in part one, added Tailwind in part two, then added Web3 functionality in part three. Up next, we will add a…

Integrate web3 in your apps — If you haven’t seen my last two posts setting up our project thus far, check out part one & part two. We’ll be using the same repo on a new web3-eth branch here. If you aren’t familiar with Ethereum or Metamask, definitely check them out. Metamask is a browser wallet…

In this post, we will continue where we left off and add TailwindCSS to our boilerplate NextJS project. Tailwind is my favorite UI library, as it doesn’t make customizing your theme difficult, while also providing tons of time saving utilities and even pre-made components (& full pages!) with TailwindUI. If…

Having a solid boilerplate that can be easily transitioned into a production app is a great thing to have around. It is often much more work to resolve dependencies or make deeper structural changes after you are already at 10–20k lines of code. In this post, I’ll go through setting…

This is a continuation from my last article on Running a Serverless Telegram Bot from AWS Lambda. Before that, I also wrote a simple guide to set up the basics, Send and Receive Messages with the Telegram API. If this is the first post you have come across, no worries…

Function as a service (FaaS) offerings are great for certain compute tasks. They are low maintenance, scalable, and cheap for infrequent workloads. Telegram bots can be used fairly infrequently, or might be constantly monitoring and moderating your chat with tens of thousands of users. The compute workload is quite variable…

Telegram is a modern cross-platform messaging app that I use frequently for group messages. Since I use it everyday and it has an open API, I thought it would be a convenient interface for some small project ideas I’ve had recently. So, I started by poking around the Telegram API…
