Learning Nextjs+rainbowkit+wagmi + <add keywords>

OK, guys, tell me, do you really know how apps you build with this stuff work? Or just trial and error until it seems to work?

It’s definitely rough. While Next.js does have the ability to let you build a full stack app very quickly, it is also complicated to the point of many failures. Wallet libraries are just having to adapt to that reality and struggle with the rest of us. On the flip side, you can always go back to window.ethereum 😂

To be fair, window.ethereum had a much smoother learning curve, when I used it a few years ago.

Oh yeah totally. Back in the day you could build the entire wallet workflow from scratch, but then came along multiple chains, appeal of smooth modals, etc. For most people rebuilding that whole flow again sounds tedious (me being one of them haha). Personally love Connect Kit

It's OK. After spending hours, I managed to have wallets connect to my app, using one of these "very easy, just type: npm i all-you-wished-from-web3" solutions. (And watching all these warnings about deprecated libs being installed.)

My next frontier is to read a value from a contract.
