  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • WebKit

    Home of the WebKit project, the browser engine used by Safari, Mail, App Store and many other applications on macOS, iOS and Linux.

  • Note that a lot of crappy websites are inside the git history of WebKit's infamous Quirks.cpp.

  • Killed by Google

    Part guillotine, part graveyard for Google's doomed apps, services, and hardware.

  • 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.

  • caniuse

    Raw browser/feature support data from caniuse.com

  • I know for me, if my web app didn't work in Firefox or in mobile Safari, I'd consider that just as critical as if it didn't work in Chrome. But it's also something I virtually never encounter because if you stick to standards almost anything big works across browsers and the small issues are not super common either. That said, I'm on caniuse.com pretty regularly. Also, it's worth noting that Mozilla's MDN is basically the de facto reference for web tech and is actively supported as the primary resource by Google and Microsoft. So, Mozilla is still a pretty major authority on how to develop for the web even if a developer is running Chrome.

  • ui

    A cross-platform UI library written in V (by vlang)

  • That's correct on Vlang. Not only do they have the UI (VUI), but there are also various UI toolkits (MUI and IUI) which makes using the UI libraries easier or more convenient, depending on what people like.
