At @documenso we recently integrated Kysely on top of @prisma so we can migrate our nasty raw queries to a type-safe alternative. Can't wait to use this to tackle some of our more complex queries within the app where Prisma's querying language isn't 100% suitable!

1/ When building Documenso, we've prioritised not bundling required third-party services. This has affected a lot of our decisions but we believe it's helped develop a more robust system and helps us reduce points of failure over time.

Working with @shadcn UI library is a breeze, I'm now able to crank out some pretty nice components without needing to think about styling basics. Instead I can just tie together a few primitives to make elegant comboboxes, dialogs and more.

@GergelyOrosz Honestly, I've been on the side that have argued this and then gone and done the rewrite several times. Each time we start cutting fluff that we thought was no longer needed only to come back and reimplement it as it was crucial to certain clients/users.

Server actions were causing some bundling weirdness that would cause a top-level await in the final chunk, ripping it out and switching the actions back to tRPC resolves the issue and brings bundling back to normal 🥲
