  • The Best UI Libraries for Cross-Platform Apps with Tauri
    10 projects | dev.to | 4 Aug 2023
    SolidJS and Tauri form another potent combination for creating performant, lightweight, and secure experiences. SolidJS is a reactive UI library that is similar to Svelte in the way it compiles away reactivity and updates the DOM directly, but it also incorporates a fine-grained reactivity system reminiscent of libraries like Marko, Knockout, and MobX.

    Marko is a huge leap in the right direction. It has streaming, partial hydration, a compiler that optimizes your output, and a small runtime. I’ve also heard through the grapevine that Marko V6 also adds resumability to the framework as well.

    Nevertheless, the future of JS frameworks is exciting. As we’ve seen from the data, Astro is doing some things right alongside Qwik. However, more noteworthy frameworks such as Marko and Solid are also paving the path forward with some similar traits and better performance benchmarks. We’ve come back full circle in web development - from PHP/Rails to SPAs and now back to SSR. Maybe we just need to break the cycle.

    If you want more, take a look on Marko, fresh, qwik or pug. Dind't tested yet but they look like same as Nunjucks.
  • Client-side Routing without the JavaScript
    3 projects | dev.to | 7 Nov 2022
    And that is a similar feeling to the exploration we've been doing recently. Inspired equal parts from React Server Components and Island solutions like Marko and Astro, Solid has made it's first steps into Partial Hydration.
  • Astro 1.0
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Aug 2022
    I haven’t done any serious work with either, but I’ve been following both closely (and have contributed a bit to Astro early on). So this isn’t the hands-on response you specifically asked for, and may not contain new information to you. I’m posting anyway in case it adds context for others.

    Qwik City[1] is probably more directly analogous to Astro, Qwik being more analogous to Astro’s integrated renderers. But that highlights one of the key differences.

    Astro’s compiler mostly focuses on server rendering of static content (.astro templates, MDX) and bundling client resources along with the logic necessary to hydrate islands. Astro defers to those renderers (and in some cases their own compilers) for any further optimization of the client bundle.

    Qwik’s compiler optimizes the component code directly, serializing state into the HTML it renders server-side, for the client bundle to resume from that state. Its output is conceptually similar to Phoenix LiveView (which was mentioned in another sub-thread).

    Both are compelling approaches. I think Qwik’s will probably (eventually) have an optimization advantage because that’s a core focus of the client library. Astro will likely have an adoption advantage because it’s client-library-agnostic.

    Another framework in the space often gets passed over: Marko[2], which has been doing partial hydration for years at eBay. Marko is probably more similar in approach to Qwik (and as I understand it, getting more similar as they’re going resumable too), but like Astro has its own templating language which enables its compiler optimizations.

    Also worth watching SolidJS[3] (whose creator has also worked on Marko), which is tracking partial hydration/resumability on its roadmap. I’m not sure what their approach will look like but there’s quite a lot of insight both in the issue and the creator’s tweets/replies on the topic.

    Personally I think there’s a gap between all of these approaches which could leverage type-level analysis to go much further. But that isn’t really feasible when types being available or accurate isn’t a safe assumption.

    There is no support for newer frameworks like Marko, which have their own file extension (format).

  • I Deployed My Own Cute Lil’ Private Internet (a.k.a. VPC)
    8 projects | dev.to | 18 Mar 2024
    Each app’s front end is built with Qwik and uses Tailwind for styling. The server-side is powered by Qwik City (Qwik’s official meta-framework) and runs on Node.js hosted on a shared Linode VPS. The apps also use PM2 for process management and Caddy as a reverse proxy and SSL provisioner. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database that also runs on a shared Linode VPS. The apps interact with the database using Drizzle, an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for JavaScript. The entire infrastructure for both apps is managed with Terraform using the Terraform Linode provider, which was new to me, but made provisioning and destroying infrastructure really fast and easy (once I learned how it all worked).

  • How (not) to contribute to open source
    3 projects | dev.to | 25 Jan 2024
    That was the last straw; cumulatively, I had spent more time looking for something to do than actually doing it. But I really wanted to contribute! So a few more months went by, until one day I met an Italian open source maintainer and long-time speaker, Giorgio Boa, who by the way was a guest on our podcast Continuous Delivery, and asked him for advice, saying that I wanted to be part of the OS world. He said he was working on a small library of Qwik components and could help me if I wanted. I gladly accepted, and we found an issue that seemed pretty straightforward. A few days after our conversation, I followed the little README guide to install everything required, and...nothing worked. So, after a few bad words, a lot of doubt about my skills as an engineer, and self pep talks to overcome my shyness about asking for help, I contacted Giorgio again. Even with his help, at first we had some trouble figuring out what was going wrong, but in the end I finally had a working setup.

  • HTML First – Six principles for building simple, maintainable, web software
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Nov 2023
    I agree in principle that HTML is the best option for a good user-experience, but it quickly breaks down in terms of developer-experience and maintainability. However, we don't need to compromise on either by using a solution like Qwik[1]. Where the page progressively becomes more interactive with JavaScript, and doing as much work as possible on the server beforehand.
