solid-site VS Angular

This article never mentions React. This has nothing to do with React. There's a reason people say "react is not reactive"[1].

Signals are derived from Observables[2] which were first used in Adam Haile's S.JS[2] and made popular in JavaScriptLand by Ryan Carniato's SolidJS[3].

When I teased this series on LinkedIn, one comment quipped that Vue’s been around since 2014—“you should’ve learned it by now!”—and they’re not wrong. The JS ecosystem churns out UI libraries like Svelte, Solid, RxJS, and more, each pushing reactivity forward. React’s ubiquity made it my go-to for stability and career momentum. Now I’m ready to revisit new patterns and sharpen my tool-belt.

3. Load personalized data (json)

But usually step 1 and 2 are served from a cdn, so very fast. On subsequent requests, 1 and 2 are usually served from the browser cache, so extremely fast.

SSR is usually not faster. Most often slower. You can check yourself in your browser dev tools (network tab):

So much complexity and effort in the nextjs app, but so much slower.

Instead of relying on a built-in state management, Proton treats any object with a Symbol.subscribe method as an observable. This opens up declarative and fine-grained UI updates just like SolidJs.

Without any further delay, let me introduce you to my pattern, which I have modestly named "Tuple Context"", inspired by a practice I discovered while working with the Solid framework.

Web development is changing fast, and picking the right framework in 2025 can greatly impact your project’s speed, scalability, and overall experience. Two popular choices among developers are Next.js and Solid.js. Next.js is a conventional tool built on React that serves the purpose of server-side rendering (SSR) to optimize SEO and also support massive applications. In contrast, Solid.js is an emerging framework that boasts very high performance and does not use any virtual DOM to render elements, therefore making it well optimized and incredibly fast.

SolidJS solidjs.com React-like syntax with fine-grained reactivity.

Tauri is a cross-platform desktop application framework that allows developers to use familiar web technologies (like HTML, CSS, JS, and frameworks such as Vue.js, Svelte, React, SolidJS, Angular, Preact, etc.) to easily build desktop applications.

Angular 20.2.0-next.2 Release Notes

One common use case is running initialization logic at the app startup using the APP_INITIALIZER injection token token. While APP_INITIALIZER is now deprecated, the recommended replacement is the provideAppInitializer function.

This article will guide you through building a modern, AI-powered e-commerce application using Angular for the front end and leveraging the capabilities of Google's Firebase AI Logic (formerly Vertex AI in Firebase). We will explore how to implement intelligent features by referencing code snippets from the "Bytewise" e-commerce application, a practical example I created, available on GitHub.

Some of you asked me to create an example of integration between Angular and one of Firebase's latest features: "hybrid on-device".

Framework: Angular

During a recent discussion with some colleagues about TypeScript decorators, we ended up deep-diving into Angular.dev and stumbled upon something interesting — the @Attribute decorator.

I’m the kind of developer who likes to stay in the loop of the technologies they love, even though they may not be working with them right now. And I love Angular.
