A few days ago, I added a language switch feature to the app, placing a button in the top right corner—represented by the French flag and the American flag. Although this small feature seems simple, I realized that the implementation cost is not low. Especially when running such interactions on-chain, each state change consumes resources. Watching the RAM cost gradually be consumed by developers like me, it’s a bit painful. But this is the current state of decentralized application development—every optimization requires careful calculation.

On-chain development is really a details killer, a small button that stubbornly needs to be accounted for...

Oh no, small features come with big costs. Every byte on the chain needs to be carefully considered. --- RAM is truly a developer's nightmare. Just a language switch button can eat up your wallet. --- Is that all? I thought it was more complicated. Turns out, on-chain development is just a battle with costs. --- I understand that state changes consume resources—that's the price of decentralization. --- French flag and American flag, using national flags to save bytes, huh haha. --- Careful planning is really necessary; otherwise, gas fees can bankrupt you. --- It seems that nothing is simple; everything on the chain comes with a price.

An on-chain small button, it turns out to be so costly... --- RAM costs are really outrageous, developers are really struggling --- Watching resources burn little by little, it’s heartbreaking but there's nothing we can do, right? --- This is the truth of Web3; what seems simple is actually full of pitfalls --- Even the flag buttons need to be carefully calculated, Web3 development is indeed competitive --- Every state change costs health points, where is the room for optimization? --- Is decentralization supposed to come at such a price? It feels a bit expensive

An on-chain language switch button, and it actually consumes so much RAM? Developers really have it tough.

On-chain development is truly amazing; a small button can actually cause wallet issues. --- RAM costs are like an invisible knife, cutting silently. --- That's why building a DApp requires meticulous operation; every fraction and cent must be accounted for. --- This is why the UX experience in Web3 is always a bit lacking, mainly due to resource consumption issues. --- The flag button sounds simple, but the on-chain costs nearly caused a collapse—decentralization is like this. --- Developers are secretly crying because every feature iteration costs money. --- Language switching on-chain is too extravagant; if it weren't for Web3's particular requirements... --- After reading this, you understand why many features in the ecosystem can't be built—they just can't afford to burn that much.
