Next.js 16 renamed middleware.ts to proxy.ts
If you're planning to upgrade to Next.js 16, heads up.
middleware.ts is now proxy.ts.
The Next.js team renamed it to better describe what it actually does. It sits at the network boundary and intercepts requests before they reach your app.
It also runs on Node.js runtime now, not Edge.
The migration is simple: → Rename middleware.ts to proxy.ts → Rename your exported function to proxy → Your logic stays the same
middleware.ts still works for now but it's deprecated and will be removed in a future version
Small change, easy to miss. Just wanted to put it on your radar

This is such a clear and focused way to get your daily briefing
I built a small game for designers called TapTrap.
It’s inspired by those old school “Tricky IQ Test” games, but redesigned for people who obsess over alignment and argue about hex codes for fun.
I actually started building it before scripting was available in Rive, so most of the timers were powered by events and some pretty tangled state machines. When scripting finally came out, it helped me clean things up and make the whole thing work the way I had imagined.
It still needs some polishing and love, but I just could not keep this hidden any longer.
Unmasked,
An imposter-themed party game that tests trust between friends. Unmasked uses the smartphone as a central part of the game, with no downloads required: just scan, log in, and start to be suspicious.
Local winner of the Global Game Jam 2026 and made from idea to playable multiplayer game under a 48 hrs window.
The game was built using Unity, Rive and the backend was made in Node.js with Socket.io Leveraging heavily on Rive and its useful tools like data-binding, state machines and scripting, for a rich animation experience in which the user can see they avatars changing in real time.
Still not done with the game, currently working on using Rive for all of the UI, plan to release it publicly once it’s all done.
Hope You all like my entry for the Games with Rive Challenge.
