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.

A better way to set up a Cloudflare worker project locally with Miniflare
Recently Cloudflare introduces Miniflare. As its name suggests, Miniflare is a feature-rich but miniature version of Cloudflare worker. Miniflare is a simulator that provides an environment for developing and testing Cloudflare worker scripts locally. Miniflare is written in typescript and supports most of the Cloudflare worker features like the KV database, durable objects, WebSockets, etc.

[AskJS] Is there an JavaScript engine agnostic server module that can be imported into Bun, QuickJS, Deno, and Node.js?
Another implementation of the above is Cloudfare workers you might be capable of grasp some ideas from here https://miniflare.dev

Workerd: The Open Source Cloudflare Workers Runtime
Is there an ETA on Miniflare v3? Ran into a problem recently using overlapping keys with forward slashes as they were not sanitized properly: https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare/issues/167

Part 2: KV store
The KV API is only available on Cloudflare Workers. But, during development, Rakkas runs our app on Node.js. Fortunately, the Miniflare project has a KV implementation for Node. The other two packages that we've installed (@miniflare/kv and @miniflare/storage-memory) are what we need to be able to use the KV API during development. Let's create a src/kv-mock.ts file and create a local KV store to store our ublog posts ("twits") while testing:

Web Workers are the Future! ๐
I used hono (a wrapper around miniflare) to handle some of the boilerplate around request and routing logic. It's also refreshingly fast! ๐ฅ

Deploy a GitHub Application to Cloudflare Workers
The simple explanation is that I'm proposing use of the Service Worker API. Cloudflare offers a flat, free, 100k requests a day if you can keep it cutting edge, has local development and testing options with miniflare and a key/value (KV) store.

Serverless Remix Sessions with Cloudflare Pages
When we run the dev script, this will ensure that the local runtime environment Miniflare will bind a KV with the name sessionStorage to our Pages function.

Show HN: Slshx โ React-Inspired Discord Commands on Cloudflare Workers
Slshx is a library for building strongly-typed Discord commands (https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application...) that run on Cloudflare Workers (https://workers.cloudflare.com/), using a React-inspired syntax (hooks and JSX). It supports all Discord command types/options, autocomplete and interactive message components. During development, it automatically deploys your commands whenever you change your code.
I created this because I think Cloudflare Workers are a great fit for hosting Discord commands, but there wasn't an easy way to get started that had a fun development experience. I also wanted to see what a Miniflare-first (https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare) library could look like.

API Security Academy dedicated to GraphQL security
How does it work? There is no backend whatsoever. The API Security Academy leverages WebContainers, a new technology that allows running full-blown node instances directly in the browser. Each WebContainer contains a live GraphQL application, so you'll not only understand why a vulnerability is risky, but also how to exploit it and, most importantly, how to fix it.

Node on Web. Use Nodejs freely in your browser with Linux infrastructure.
StackBlitz made the claim "... run Node.js, entirely inside your browser" #658, then had to revise it's claim to "We currently do not expose a way to use WebContainer outside of StackBlitz.com,".

Lua: The Little Language That Could
> Wasm though seems like the likely general heir, and will have many different offerings for how to do that (Deno being one!).
I was recently blown away by some ideas that StackBlitz [0] apply based on WebContainers. The idea of a "server in the browser", they allow you to run Node-based environment like that via Wasm.

Blog Post: Reasonable Bootstrap
This very simple fact is well known flaw, which was already often criticized and asked for solutions by users. It doesn't only affect this kind of very exotic bootstrap applications but also significantly limits rusts usefulness in many other areas. Pure browser based scientific code documentation and example notebooks (e.g. jupyterLite) and sandboxed CI and IDE solutions (e.g. web containers) as available for many other languages are simply not available for rust because of this very fundamental issue.

WebContainer API
Looks like they plan to open it. From the FAQ section of README (https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core#faqs):

[AskJS] Is there an JavaScript engine agnostic server module that can be imported into Bun, QuickJS, Deno, and Node.js?
I'm skeptical about stackblitz claims. The last time I checked that is closed source code https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core/issues/658.

Use SSH in browser
StackBlitz claimed https://blog.stackblitz.com/posts/introducing-webcontainers/ to have implemented Node.js in the browser, though I have not observed any evidence of that being true and correct https://github.com/stackblitz/webcontainer-core/issues/658.

Docker Desktop Requires A Paid Subscription, Now What?
The other honorable mention is StackBlitz, a web-based web editor for making containers that run Javascript applications. Interestingly, StackBlitz is championing WebContainers, a technology that allows developers to start NodeJS servers within the browser. The downside is, this technology only works with Javascript-based projects (NodeJS, NextJS, etc). I include it here because WebContainers could easily be extended to support other languages via WASM, like Ruby. Iโll also add in Buildah, a tool for building OCI images. I wonโt say much about this tool because itโs designed for building images; you still need another service, like Podman, to actually create the containers.
