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

    Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()

  • I haven't seen fs-extra mentioned yet. For my work it involves a fair bit of reading/writing to the filesystem, so this makes it quite nice to deal with everything in an async way.

  • ts-express-swc

    SWC - Express.js example, boilerplate, starter

  • Glad you asked, I have an example in my GitHub https://github.com/ilovepixelart/ts-express-swc

  • 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.

  • typescript-runtime-type-benchmarks

    📊 Benchmark Comparison of Packages with Runtime Validation and TypeScript Support

  • Zod is a bit of an underdog but it is not fast, AJV which is slightly more common can validate and generate types too but requires using JSON syntax, TypeBox offers familiar syntax to Zod while still being JSON syntax in the background.
