  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

  • React is great, yeah, absolutely no lies. Released on May 29 2013 and maintained by Facebook (coughs - “Meta”), it has grown to be the the most used JavaScript framework - or library 🌚, Suppressing Angular and kicking jQuery in the nuts. The standard way of building web apps has so far been defined by this superhuman framework and it’s been the most recommended framework for a long time, but what if it’s about to change?. React, for all its glory sadly is shit ( we all know it, yes. But we won’t admit it), it’s sadly gone down the over complexity road that so many of our beloved frameworks have and has been a messy mud fest. In this article, we will look at some aspects of React’s web standards that are not so brilliant and why Svelte should set the latest standards for JavaScript frameworks and web development. Now you might not agree with me, but hopefully after this is over you’ll take a good look at yourself and say, “maybe this bloke might be right”.

  • redux

    A JS library for predictable global state management

  • State management is one of the useful aspects of most JavaScript frameworks, It is the management of input or data state across multiple data flows across an application. React does have in-built state management capabilities, but you’d rather use Redux or some other state management tool because it’s not the best to work with. Here is an example of state management in Redux:

  • SurveyJS
