  • vplanweb

    Discontinued A web app for the substitution plan of my school - data is supplied by an API maintained by @ChuangSheep

  • If you want to see how I did it, here you go. As I said, tiny project, but also a pretty minimal demo for switching in this case. I migrated to React18 in the same moment (don't ask why), so ignore the changes in src/index.ts.

  • vite

    Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  • use vite https://vitejs.dev/ it's super straightforward, fast and reliable

  • esbuild

    An extremely fast bundler for the web

  • You should know that CRA is using webpack and babeljs for bundling and compiling the js, jsx to es5( based on your configs), and these two are pretty damn slow! you can change babel with esbuild which you can read here and also there are other articles out there... this will make a hige speedup for you because you are replacing those two which is written by javascript with esbuild which is written by golang that is pretty (fast](https://esbuild.github.io/), actually vite is using esbuild behind the scene and that is why its is super fast!

  • 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.
