    You can use the pica library for browser resizing - https://www.npmjs.com/package/pica - it's a really great tool. It can also reduce upload size for large images. And some library like this for merging images - https://www.npmjs.com/package/merge-images.

  • Ask HN: I can no longer like React, do you?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Apr 2024
    I donโ€™t enjoy React much, but (as Iโ€™ve commented before) I do love Mithril (https://mithril.js.org). Immediate-mode UI via a vDOM, like React, but small, simple, and with none of the reactivity complications. Iโ€™d never go back to building apps with pure JS.

    The idea of nested function calls to build HTML is not new. Back in the hey-day of JS frameworks, this was a common vdom pattern. I kinda miss [MithrilJS](https://mithril.js.org/#dom-elements)
  • No CMS? Writing Our Blog in React

    I have mixed feelings about React. I like it better than jQuery, and better than other JS frameworks Iโ€™ve used.

    But I much prefer Mithril (https://mithril.js.org/), which offers the same immediate-mode advantages (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19746235) but without the crazy complex dependency-tracking reactivity.

    I rather liked this comment on React: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38640051

  • VueJS turns 10 years old
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Feb 2024
    Vue with Vite (the builder/runner) is a stable, open source option. It is really a lightweight start where you're mostly writing HTML with interpolated data, and Vue is updating values correctly and performantly. Just build your reactive HTML app in one file and break into separate components as you're feeling the spirit. https://vuejs.org/guide/quick-start

    Mithril if you just want to drop in want a tiny, complete reactive library that doesn't require a build step--this one is most like what you might end up creating in a large jQuery app. You can understand everything from the homepage. https://mithril.js.org/

    HTMX if you really like HTML conventions. This doesn't feel jQuery-like and depends on your approach to your server app. https://htmx.org/

    React is still has gratuitous complexity. If you need some React like, take a look at mithril which is simpler and much smaller.
