  3. Svelte

    web development for the rest of us

    Project mention: Taking The Cloud Resume Challenge: GCP Style | dev.to | 2025-08-11

    I went with SvelteKit to make everything easier for me (feel free to use what works for you to achieve your goal). I also used TailwindCSS' preflight script to reset the default browser styles to make styling super easy.

  4. Meteor JS

    Meteor, the JavaScript App Platform

    Project mention: Show HN: Modelence – Supabase for MongoDB | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-14

    Do you mean real-time data / live sync? It is actually the next thing we're going to release, so yes - it is definitely a core part. We took our inspiration from https://meteor.com and it had a big emphasis on live data which we're going to support in a more scalable way.

  5. Preact

    ⚛️ Fast 3kB React alternative with the same modern API. Components & Virtual DOM.

    Project mention: NoBS.email - Extract data from emails 🪄 | dev.to | 2025-06-08

    UI: Preact + Tailwind/shadcn

  6. Backbone.js

    Give your JS App some Backbone with Models, Views, Collections, and Events

    Project mention: JavaScript Views, the Hard Way – A Pattern for Writing UI | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-18
  7. Ember.js

    Ember.js - A JavaScript framework for creating ambitious web applications

    Project mention: ember-template-lint recommended rules that I disable | dev.to | 2025-08-05

    EmberJS comes with great set of default tooling. One of them is ember-template-lint which helps making sure that our *.hbs, *.gjs and *.gts files are following one format.

  8. hyperapp

    1kB-ish JavaScript framework for building hypertext applications

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  11. riot

    Simple and elegant component-based UI library

    Project mention: Composant Table avec RiotJS | dev.to | 2025-04-14
  12. Mithril.js

    A JavaScript Framework for Building Brilliant Applications

    Project mention: I Switched from Flutter and Rust to Rust and Egui | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-27

    I really like Mithril.js (https://mithril.js.org/), which is, IMO, as close as it gets to web IMGUI. It looks a lot like React, but rendering happens manually, either on each event or with a manual m.redraw() call.

  13. knockout

    Knockout makes it easier to create rich, responsive UIs with JavaScript

    Project mention: Knockout.js | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-01
  14. litegraph.js

    A graph node engine and editor written in Javascript similar to PD or UDK Blueprints, comes with its own editor in HTML5 Canvas2D. The engine can run client side or server side using Node. It allows to export graphs as JSONs to be included in applications independently.

    Project mention: How I used linear algebra to build an interactive diagramming editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-17
