Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

How to convert exist nodejs/expressjs app from javascript to typescript, the painless way
Converting a large Express.js application from JavaScript to TypeScript can be a challenging task. For many applications, this represents a significant portion of their technical debt, as the process may span many days, if not months, and new changes are typically not allowed during the conversion.

Why I keep an eye on the Vue ecosystem and you should too
Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere. Comparing it to express, it doesn't need weird middlewares for json, it has a simple way to support caching, a file system router, tasks and scheduled tasks that avoid quite a few shell scripts, db:migrations etc, plugins, KV storages, SQL connectors, websockets...

Full Stack To Do list, a step-by-step tutorial
Our backend will be little more than a two-way translation layer between the database and the user interface (UI). Later in this post we will identify other responsibilities of a backend but our implementation will be kept simple to demonstrate the fundamental machinery and concepts. It is worth noting the backend comes in two parts, web server and application server. Both json-server and Express are able to facilitate these roles from the same URL. This is very useful for our tutorial because we do not have to configure the server to manage Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). It is quite typical for production systems to separate these server roles for all sorts of good reasons but for now it would just create an additional complication.

Improve Frontend-Backend development harmony with JSON-Server
JSON-Server creates fake REST API with a minimum amount of configuration, it provides a simple way to create mock RESTful APIs and easily define the required endpoints, allows easy definition of the data schema in a JSON file and can serve as a reference for each figure in the project.

Dictionary app
I thought about usingJson Server (hosting the repo with the words on Github to begin with), Googlesheets, or maybe Firestore (i would prefer not to use it ,to avoid extra costs just in case it gets a reasonable amount of users). It isnt a big app so i just want a simple solution for storing the words and fetching them.
