  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • vite

    Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  • Vite came out in 2020 and is one of the fastest exploding tools in webdev I personally witnessed. From release to pretty much everybody is using it and shaming create-react-app was only about 2 years. Of course this happened for good reason, a basic setup was relatively easy, it had a very powerful plugin system, and compared to it's competition it was blazingly fast.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

  • Volar originally was Vue3's language support tool for VScode (I don't know about other editors). By today, volar has become a language indipendent framework to create language tools. It might still be a bit early for the dev with skill issues like me to use it and build some tools, but astro and svelte already use Volar to create their language tools.

  • 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. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • magic-regexp

    A compiled-away, type-safe, readable RegExp alternative

  • magic-regexp How about Regexp that get's compiled away, is typesafe and it's actually somewhat legible

  • nuxt

    The Intuitive Vue Framework.

  • The (devtools)[https://devtools.nuxt.com/] I want to talk about shortly are the (Nuxt)[https://nuxt.com/] devtools which are I would say by a landslide the best devtools out there. You don't need to trust me, just try it out, get a basic nuxt app running, open devtools, go to modules, add tailwind, maybe add an API route and play around with the dev tools a bit. I'm pretty confident in saying that it's the best experience out there in JS land, and belive it or not, the plan is to make it vue/nuxt agnostic, so it might become something react, svelte etc devs would enjoy in the future

  • nitro

    Next Generation Server Toolkit. Create web servers with everything you need and deploy them wherever you prefer.

  • Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere. Comparing it to express, it doesn't need weird middlewares for json, it has a simple way to support caching, a file system router, tasks and scheduled tasks that avoid quite a few shell scripts, db:migrations etc, plugins, KV storages, SQL connectors, websockets...

  • h3

    ⚡️ Minimal H(TTP) framework built for high performance and portability (by unjs)

  • H3 is a small and delightful webserver. It honestly won me over the second I saw how simple the server side implementation of websockets was. It's actually so good, it even has bindings for uploadthing

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  • Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
