Build a Vite 5 backend integration with Flask
Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

Node.js vs. Deno vs. Bun: JavaScript runtime comparison
Additional features for Bun include a transpiler and package manager. As hinted at in the name, it also includes bundling features, giving you the functionality that would otherwise require another tool, such as Snowpack or rollup.js. It also has a dead code elimination feature through its JavaScript minifier.

Should I migrate from create-react-app?
once upon a time there was this thing called Snowpack: https://www.snowpack.devwhich had a lot of promises as vite (rollup w/ esm). So I migrated a project over from CRA to this thing.While startup speed was much much faster, it actually didn't make the app useable. I timed it meticulously for both CRA and snowpack build and found that the TTI was almost identical. I am not claiming the same to be vite but it's possible and I don't have a large app to prove it..

Vercel announces Turbopack, the successor to Webpack
> special snowflake build toolchains
That reminds me, wasn't there a build tool called Snowflake?
Oh, it was called Snowpack [1]. And it's no longer being actively maintained. Yeesh.

Building an offline-first app with React and CouchDB
The first thing we need is a JavaScript project for our app. We'll use Snowpack as our bundler. Open a terminal located in a directory for the project and type npx create-snowpack-app react-couchdb --template @snowpack/app-template-minimal. Snowpack will create a skeleton for our React application and install all dependencies. Once it's done doing its job, type cd react-couchdb to get into the newly created project directory. create-snowpack-app is very similar to create-react-app in how it sets-up your project, but it's a lot less intrusive (You don't even need to use eject at any point).

Alternatives to CRA?

Before you get too deep into Snowpack, be aware that they recommend using other tools now because it’s no longer maintained.

VanJS (Vanilla JavaScript): smallest reactive UI framework

Espresso.js – minimal React alternative – is now a decade old
The likely reason it never caught on, is that it has similar pitfalls as Backbone:
- manually attaching DOM elements to view controllers
- manually attaching child views
- models which have to be wired individually via .listenTo
- possibility of infinite loops if the events accidentally recurse
A better tiny alternative would be hyperapp[1] or even Preact, that has a similar bundle size.

How hard is it to get a Mid FE position without any commercial framework experience?
If they're focused on performance and bundle size, it's your chance to try some minimalistic exotic stuff like hyperapp (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp) or mithril (https://mithril.js.org/) Just for fun

AlpineJS
With a bit of a deadline (due to a mixture of procrastination and confidence that Vue would work) I needed something quick. I have also used Hyperapp in the past but that looks like a dead project right now (although arguably it has all the functionality you need so why keep developing it?).

What I learned working with a senior engineer as a new grad
I’m glad it left that impression! My thoughts have clarified a bit since I read that post, and I think what I describe is more declarative, like React. But the best places to read about it (for web devs) are in Elm!
There is also this new thing I found that seems to really lean into the core of what being functional means here: https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp
After a while, you see that basically all systems can be modeled as event-driven, functional systems. It’s a flexible model, and fits beautiful into web dev where the semantics are very clear: the system is the web app and events are clicks, keyboard events, asynchronous calls...

Divergent States in a "Single Source of Truth" Framework
I'll tell you what I've learnt from struggling with a bug that made me lose a couple of weeks. The application framework used in this post is Hyperapp, but I guess the same problem can be found in frameworks based on transforming the state of "Single Source of Truth" with pure functions (such as Elm, Redux, so on) if we use them in a wrong way.

Popular 'coa' NPM library hijacked to steal user passwords
Personally, I try my best to avoid bringing in dependencies as much as possible, and try to limit my exposure to only dependencies with low/shallow transitive dependency counts. Unfortunately, this is pretty hard, especially in corporate settings. What we need more of are the opposite of what we've been collectively praising: we need more monolithic packages. Case in point: lodash.template is currently vulnerable with no mitigation, even though lodash itself is not. That's just sloppy publishing practices. Esbuild is a great start over the webpack/babel maze of dependencies. There's a stdlib effort along those lines that hopefully would also help. There's a bunch of micro-frameworks that are used in production just fine and have little to no dependencies.
What are some alternatives?
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
Preact - ⚛️ Fast 3kB React alternative with the same modern API. Components & Virtual DOM.
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
tape - tap-producing test harness for node and browsers
parcel - The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀
