Build vs Buy: Cookie Banner for React/Next.js

This technical guide compares building a custom cookie banner versus using a consent management platform (CMP) for React and Next.js applications. It argues teams should build their own banner only when requirements are narrow and the engineering team is prepared to maintain consent infrastructure over time. The article highlights key responsibilities of production consent systems — script gating, preference storage, withdrawal support, regional behaviour, and durable records — and presents c15t as a developer-first CMP that supports hosted, self-hosted, and browser-only deployments. Inth is named as a managed hosting provider for c15t. The guide stresses that script gating and backend persistence are critical when auditability and regulatory accountability (e.g., GDPR/UK rules) matter.

• The article recommends building a custom cookie banner only if requirements are narrow and the team is prepared to maintain the logic over time.
• c15t is described as a developer-first consent management platform that supports hosted, self-hosted, and browser-only deployments.
• Inth provides a managed hosted deployment option for c15t teams that do not want to operate the backend themselves.

Developer Builds AI Alt-Text Generator for WordPress

A developer built an AI-powered alt-text generator for WordPress to automate descriptive image alt text generation and reduce manual workload. The project evolved into a production-ready plugin with a stack including WordPress/PHP, JavaScript, Node.js, Render, Supabase, Stripe, and PostHog, plus an external AI vision service. Key engineering lessons cover clear telemetry semantics (job-level vs item-level events), deduplication strategies using stable PostHog insert IDs and event ownership, correlation IDs for cross-system tracing, privacy-by-default telemetry (strip PII and content), and controlled internal error taxonomies. The article emphasizes that reliability (authentication, billing, idempotent webhooks, privacy-safe analytics, observability) matters as much as the AI feature itself.

• The author built an AI alt-text generator as a WordPress plugin to automate descriptive alt text creation for images.
• Plugin capabilities include single-image generation, bulk processing of missing alt text, saving generated text into WordPress, usage/quota tracking, and user review before applying text.
• Architecture stack includes WordPress/PHP, JavaScript, Node.js backend, Render for hosting, Supabase for accounts/entitlements, Stripe for subscriptions, PostHog for analytics, and an AI vision service for image analysis.
