  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • marko

    A declarative, HTML-based language that makes building web apps fun

  • uBlock

    uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

  • Maybe it's only me because I'm not a frontend developer and obvious things are not obvious to me, but it seems that there is nothing in the docs about deploying to a server and visiting a page it with a browser.

    Anyway, I traced the JavaScript code. There are files packed with Webpack. They're not minified and pretty easy to follow. I even found a comment linking to https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/205 with the note "Do not handle added node directly from within mutation observer".

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Mako

    THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL REPO - PLEASE SUBMIT PRs ETC AT: http://github.com/sqlalchemy/mako (by zzzeek)

  • At least in Python, that's kinda what https://www.makotemplates.org is. Although if you're just using a subset of PHP suitable for templating, it's not really clear to me what benefit there is to PHP syntax versus, say, Jinja2 syntax.

  • htmx

    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

  • coldbox-platform

    A modern, fluent and conventions based HMVC framework for ColdFusion (CFML)

  • It's a whole weird world that just doesn't die. I worked at a place with ~ half a million lines of CF last year. There is a thing called CF Script which has vaguely JS-like syntax which can be used instead of the XML-based logic. There are even open-source frameworks built on top, with religious quotes in the documentation for some reason[0].

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
