This One Trick Makes Your UI Feel 10x Smoother

I’ve kicked off a brand-new series on YouTube: The AI Agent Series where you’ll learn how to build, deploy, and scale powerful AI Agents from scratch.

To get started, check out the series here ↗.

I listed down tasks I'd hire for and instead, built an AI Assistant Agent with Convex, WorkOS Authkit and Next.js.

This week, I'm dropping a video showing 📹 How I shipped a AI Agent SaaS in just 13 minutes and we'll buid your own Assistant step-by-step.

🍿 Weekly Snack: The Pending Pulse
​

Today's Snack is pulled from my Modern Full Stack Next.js Course - from the Module: Master Server and Client Components.

In this module, we build a beautiful Analytics Dashboard 📊 using Prisma. and learn how to architect your app in a way that start building an intuition yourself.

⚡ Smooth UX with data-pending

Take a look at the Visitor Journey section in the dashboard:

When a user triggers a state transition (like navigating to a new route), we don’t want them to interact with incomplete data.

That’s where a subtle, 📶 blinking animation helps signal that something is loading.

We use the data-pending attribute to mark the loading state. And then apply a Tailwind animation when this attribute is present:

👀 It’s clean, reactive, and gives users a delightful visual cue without a jarring spinner of death.

​

🎁 Bonus: I’ve made a few lessons completely free from the Data Fetching module so you know what the course is like.

​Check them out here ↗ and join the waitlist as the course will launch to the waitlist first before it goes public.

Cursor is now completely free for Students - It's a powerful AI Code Editor.

​Vercel now has session tracing support. Best way to answer where time went in any given page load.

Redis is now Open source again - their previous licensing was failed to be accepted by the community.

TanStack just shipped a new NPM Stats tool - you can get real-time npm download stats.
