    Project mention: Reactive Data Structures in MeteorJS - Reactive Stack | dev.to | 2024-11-28

    MeteorJS brings client-side reactivity out of the box. No matter which frontend framework you choose, you will always have an integrated reactivity that synchronizes your data and the UI. This is one of the core strengths of MeteorJS.

    If you're using PNPM as a package manager for your EmberJS project and you find yourself in a need to install a v2 addon from git(hub) fork (because you have a branch with patched version), then you might find that GitHub URLs in package.json tricks don't work for you.

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

  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: Svelte Series-1: An awesome framework | dev.to | 2024-05-15

    Svelte's predecessor was Ractive.js, released in 2013, which came out at almost the same time as React. Reactive.js was inspired by a mashup of Knockout and Angular and a few other things at the time. After a few years of practicing, Rich Harris felt that Reactive.js wasn't really the right framework for the mobile internet age, and proposed his new idea for a framework - writing a compiler - with friends at the BrooklynJS meetup.
