  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

  • There's actually a recent PR up for a `` component:

    - https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26854

  • react-ssd1306

    📟 A React Renderer for SSD1306 OLED chip on Raspberry Pi.

  • It’s often cheaper to couple things tightly. Abstractions and interfaces have costs. However, they also have benefits. Perhaps React and Preact is one such example.

    React is a tiny fully agnostic library that does components, props, hooks and all that jazz. You can use it anywhere, from DOM to CLI. To tie it to DOM, a separate library exists—named, unimaginatively, ReactDOM—and that’s where the 100KB heft comes in.

    Preact is the opposite: smaller, but coupled to DOM. The architecture probably doesn’t facilitate cool stuff like render components to embedded LCD[0], and even to do SSR you would have to add extra libraries.

  • bundlejs

    An online tool to quickly bundle & minify your projects, while viewing the compressed bundle size, all running locally on your browser. A quick and easy way to bundle, minify, and compress (gzip and brotli) your ts, js, jsx and npm projects all online, with the bundle file size.

  • It's somewhere in between.

    React as a lib and architecture _is_ platform-agnostic. The core logic is defined in the `react-reconciler` package. It contains all the implementation of rendering components, diffing trees, managing state, and running effects, as well as all the "Suspense" implementation.

    However, the way `react-reconciler` works is that it's built _into_ each platform-specific renderer implementation. So, the size of `react-dom` is actually the size of `react-reconciler` + all the DOM-specific behavior.

    A quick check of https://bundlejs.com/?q=react-reconciler suggests it's about 100K minified. https://bundlejs.com/?q=react-dom is 138K, so that tells me that the DOM-specific logic is 38K.

  • npm

  • Things like the sparkline charts on npmjs (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm ) are interactive SVGs. I think they're pretty common for data visualizations of all kinds

  • patch-package

    Fix broken node modules instantly 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
