Solid.js is a very performant web framework that shares some similarities with React. For example, both use JSX, utilizing the function-based approach to components, but instead of using Virtual DOM, it converts your code to vanilla JS. Still, it is more famous for its approach to fine-grained reactivity by utilizing signals, memos, and effects. Still, the signal is the simplest and most known primitive of Solid. They contain value along with their getter and setter functions, allowing the framework to observe and update the changes as needed in the exact location in the DOM, unlike React, which re-renders the whole component.
Although some people could consider Wasp’s opinionated stance a negative thing, it is the driver behind Wasp’s numerous full-stack features. With Wasp, starting a full-stack project for a single developer or a small team is much easier, especially if you use one of the pre-made templates or OpenSaaS as your SaaS starter. Because the core of the project is well-defined, it is very easy to get started with a project and potentially, make your own full-stack SaaS in a couple of days! What’s also cool is the fact that most of the pre-existing knowledge of web developers for most of them still applies here, because the technologies that Wasp uses are established.
It would be a sin not to start with something that prides itself on being the front-end library of peace. HTMX skyrocketed in popularity in 2023, gaining most of its GitHub stars during the past year. HTMX is not your average JS framework. If you work in HTMX, you will spend most of your time in the world of hypermedia, looking at web development from a completely different pair of eyes as compared to our usual JS-heavy outlook on modern web development. HTMX leverages the power of the concept of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), enabling developers to access browser features directly from HTML, instead of using Javascript.
For those who want the tool to have full control over their stack simply and easily, look no further! Wasp is an opinionated full-stack framework that leverages its compiler for a fast and easy way to create a database, backend, and frontend for your app. It uses React, Node.js, and Prisma, which are some of the most well-known tools that full-stack web developers are using.
If you built a content-driven website in 2023, there is a big chance that you used Astro as your framework of choice to make it happen! Astro is another framework that uses a different architectural concept to stand out. For Astro, it is Islands architecture. In the context of Astro, an island is any interactive UI component on the page, standing out from a sea of static content. A page can have any number of islands since they run in isolation from each other, but they can also share state and communicate with each other, which is very useful.
