  • 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
  • react-accordion

    The complete accordion solution for React

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

  • If I were starting something, (or even if I were incrementally moving over pages from a larger project as they were touched), I would use Svelte / Svelte Kit 100% of the time. It's effectively a language (the use of JS/TS, CSS, and HTML together but nicer) with a compiler rather than a runtime framework. It's dead simple and it produces insanely small and performant output by default. Both of those have excellent tutorials you can use right on their website without installing anything.
