  • wasp

    The fastest way to develop full-stack web apps with React & Node.js.

  • Throughout this article, I’m going to use as an example the Wasp Framework, since it gathers all the characteristics necessary for a good open-source repository (and it’s actually a really awesome project that you can give a star to easily by clicking on the button below 😀).

  • Sequelize

    Feature-rich ORM for modern Node.js and TypeScript, it supports PostgreSQL (with JSON and JSONB support), MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Snowflake, Oracle DB (v6), DB2 and DB2 for IBM i.

  • I made a small change to the new documentation for Sequelize! I was just scrolling through the documentation and found this mistake that could lead others to weird debugging sessions, so as soon as I found it, I submitted a PR for them! You can check out the contribution here!

  • 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.
