Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Hunting for a Framework
> 1. Hasura - DB + Basic APIS, 2. Ory.sh for Auth/Authz
Great choices!
3. React on the frontend
Here I'd go with Elm, and a generated GraphL API client. Here an example to play with (which btw also includes ZomboDB for ElasticSearch integration into Postgres)

> 4. Windmill.dev
Look awesome, never heard of it. Tnx
> If you like code-focused solution: Rails, Laravel and Django are good options.
I think Kotlin/KTor, while not as full featured, is a much better alternative due to the strong typing discipline.

A Love Letter to Ruby and Rails
I was a big Rails, Ruby and dynamic typing fanboy. But then my project grew in size and I changed my beliefs.
I'd not start a big project in any language without: null-safety, proper sum-types, type inference.
Hence I like Kotlin, and KTor seems to be a good Sinatra/Flask like in that arena.
Another interesting development I find no-code/low-code tools for the backend, like Hasura. This allows me to "just expose Postgres over GraphQL" with very little code (mainly configuration). That combined with type-safe client library generation for a typesafe frontend language like Elm gives me all the power I need in a very different paradigm. Something worth considering.

Django for Startup Founders: A better software architecture for SaaS startups
I agreed. Then did a project[1] with Hasura and a generated client lib in Elm and I'm no longer looking back. If I can get away with "no backend code" I'll do it again in a heart beat.

Goodbye, Clean Code
This article always reminds me of this excerpt from re-frame’s docs [0]:
> Now, you think and design abstractly for a living, and that repetition will feel uncomfortable. It will call to you like a Siren: "refaaaaactoooor meeeee". "Maaaake it DRYYYY". So here's my tip: tie yourself to the mast and sail on. That repetition is good. It is serving a purpose. Just sail on.

A History of Clojure (2020) [pdf]
* Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

Reflet introduces descriptions: a new kind of polymorphic query
Reflet is a set of tools for building Re-frame + React based web apps with graph and non-graph data models. This includes:
-
Were React Hooks a Mistake?
https://github.com/day8/re-frame
Notably the author of re-frame has been weary of hooks.
I think that’s for a good reason. The approach in re frame feels like the best way to manage state so far for a react based app. Everything that changes state flows through an event. State can only be observed through subscriptions. Side effects are isolated to their own type of event. Debugging and testing are so straight forward with these concepts.
Redux got close but it has two problems in my mind. Like hooks, it encapsulates for no good reason. Put the state in one thing that you can observe holistically before and after pure events. It also has too much boiler plate.

Clojure Turns 15 panel discussion video
The cljs stack I hear about a lot (and use) is ShadowCLJS with reagent (https://reagent-project.github.io/) and re-frame (https://day8.github.io/re-frame/). ShadowCLJS is more of a build tool, but is really well documented and easy to use. Reagent is basically react but a simpler API, and re-frame is a layer on top of that provides data subscriptions and event-handlers to manage app state. It's overkill for some apps but I find it's actually super easy to work with and not as much complexity as I thought.
For backend there is luminus (https://luminusweb.com/) or Kit (https://kit-clj.github.io/). They are basically project templates that wire together a ton of popular solutions for various things - database access, migrations, security, html templating, etc. Also includes frontend frameworks like re-frame if you want.

Reflet: building Re-frame + React based web apps with graph and non-graph data models
Reflet aims to be a natural progression on top of Re-frame to support complex, data driven requirements. In that sense, it is both easy to learn, but powerful. You could say it's sort of like Re-frame++ (or Fulcro for Re-frame). Its main design goals are:
-
Killing mutants to improve your tests
At my current client we're working on having a frontend architecture for writing SPAs in JavaScript similar to re-frame's one: an event-driven bus with effects and coeffects for state management[1] (commands) and subscriptions using reselect's selectors (queries).
-
Giving new life to existing Om legacy SPAs with re-om
Some of us had worked with effects and coeffects before while developing SPAs with re-frame and had experienced how good it is. After working with re-frame, when you come to horizon, you realize how a good architecture can make a dramatic difference in clarity, testability, understandability and easiness of change.
