  1. deno

    A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

    Thank you for the detailed feedback. Deno 1.38.4 was just released with a partial fix for the VSCode issue you mentioned. We're fixing the twisted issue too.

  3. vscode_deno

    Visual Studio Code plugin for Deno

    * Patch a third-party library that was setting an HTTP header to `null`. NodeJS handles this case just fine, but Deno throws an error [2].

    After all of that work, I finally was able to use Deno in my project. It was really cool! Unfortunately, both VS Code and IntelliJ with Deno are essentially unusable [3]. Or, at least, unacceptably slow compared to what I had with NodeJS.

  4. ntfy

    Send push notifications to your phone or desktop using PUT/POST

    I've started tossing https://ntfy.sh/ alerts into my Deno apps to get push notifications for things I'm interested in

  5. JsCron

    Javascript cron parser, schedule date generator

    Nice, years ago I wrote a TypeScript (originally CoffeeScript re-written to TypeScript) library to generate schedule times for a cron between two time points, should be easy to write a service like this with it.

  6. bacalhau

    Community-driven, simple, yet powerful framework for fast, cost-effective distributed Compute over Data.

    This is really interesting - we’ve tried really hard to solve some of these with Bacalhau[1] - a much simpler distributed compute platform. Would love your feedback!

  7. quantum-elixir

    Discontinued Cron-like job scheduler for Elixir [GET https://api.github.com/repos/fanduel/quantum-elixir: 404 - Not Found // See: https://docs.github.com/rest/repos/repos#get-a-repository]

  8. oban

    💎 Robust job processing in Elixir, backed by modern PostgreSQL, SQLite3, and MySQL

  10. TypeORM

    ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Oracle, SAP Hana, WebSQL databases. Works in NodeJS, Browser, Ionic, Cordova and Electron platforms.

    * Patch a third-party library that was setting an HTTP header to `null`. NodeJS handles this case just fine, but Deno throws an error [2].

    Fetching riot games api data (by Sansossio)

  12. esm.sh

    A nobuild content delivery network(CDN) for modern web development.

    * Change my NPM imports to something that would work with Deno. The most straightforward thing to do was just change `import "foo"` to `import "npm:foo"`, but this felt hacky so eventually I used https://esm.sh, which worked for some packages but not others.

  13. windmill

    Open-source developer platform to power your entire infra and turn scripts into webhooks, workflows and UIs. Fastest workflow engine (13x vs Airflow). Open-source alternative to Retool and Temporal.

  14. Hangfire

    An easy way to perform background job processing in .NET and .NET Core applications. No Windows Service or separate process required

    Unpopular opinion incoming... What I see is yet another way that the backend JS world is finally achieving something .NET had years ago[0].

    Node/Deno/Bun/etc. + npm sounds super straightforward at first glance (and it is at first). But I've thought for years that it's far easier to be productive as an organization on .NET in Visual Studio, since it's simpler to design, deliver, and maintain infrastructure.
