  1. zustand

    🐻 Bear necessities for state management in React

    For client-side state, Zustand is the way to go. It's got zero boilerplate, a tiny bundle size, and a simple but powerful API that's easy to learn. You can create a store with just a few lines of code, which is pretty neat.

  2. Nutrient

  3. TypeScript

    TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

    Look, I know some of you still resist TypeScript, but it's like peanut butter and jelly with React at this point. It catches mistakes early, makes refactoring less painful, supercharges your IDE's autocomplete, and gives new devs on your team built-in docs. Plus, all those fancy AI coding assistants? They work way better with strongly-typed code.

  4. html-figma

    Discontinued Builder.io for Figma: AI generation, export to code, import from web

    Visual Copilot is an AI-powered design-to-code Figma plugin that turns your Figma designs into React code for with just one click. You can choose your styling library (like Tailwind or Styled Components), map your own components (like MaterialUI), and it'll generate code that actually fits your project. You can tweak the generated code with custom prompts, and it learns your coding style if you feed it some of your code samples.

  5. vitest

    Next generation testing framework powered by Vite.

    We're not skimping on testing. Here's the trifecta: Vitest is faster than Jest and works with ES modules out of the box. React Testing Library is still great for component testing, helping you catch accessibility issues and test like a user would. For end-to-end testing, Playwright is awesome, handling multiple browsers, visual testing, network stuff, and mobile device emulation without the flaky tests.

  6. vercel

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

    Vercel is the go-to for hosting React apps. You can deploy without thinking about it, use edge functions for extra speed, get built-in analytics that are actually useful, and it works like a dream with Next.js. Plus, your app is fast everywhere thanks to their global CDN.

  7. shadcn/ui

    A set of beautifully-designed, accessible, and customizable components to help you build your component library. Open Source.

    I used to be a Tailwind skeptic, but experience changed my mind. Pair it with shadcn/ui and you've got a styling powerhouse. AI tools can generate precise Tailwind classes, shadcn/ui gives you accessible components out of the box, your bundle stays optimized, and you can prototype and iterate quickly while keeping designs consistent.

  8. Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

    I used to be a Tailwind skeptic, but experience changed my mind. Pair it with shadcn/ui and you've got a styling powerhouse. AI tools can generate precise Tailwind classes, shadcn/ui gives you accessible components out of the box, your bundle stays optimized, and you can prototype and iterate quickly while keeping designs consistent.

  10. supabase

    The open source Firebase alternative. Supabase gives you a dedicated Postgres database to build your web, mobile, and AI applications.

    Supabase has evolved into a full-blown backend with some cool AI features. It's got vector similarity search for AI stuff, built-in support for storing embeddings, can turn plain English into SQL (yeah, really), has real-time subscriptions that just work, and edge functions for when you need to do AI processing close to your users.

  11. storybook

    Storybook is the industry standard workshop for building, documenting, and testing UI components in isolation

    Storybook is essential for building and testing components in isolation. It's perfect for component-driven development, has a built-in testing environment, generates great documentation, supports visual regression testing, and has collaboration features for designers and developers.

  12. react-router

    Declarative routing for React

    Now, I'm not saying it's the only option. Remix is still awesome for full-stack apps, and there's this new kid on the block called Tanstack Start that's doing some cool things so make sure to keep an eye out. And hey, if you just need routing, React Router V7 was recently launched.

  13. react-native

    A framework for building native applications using React

    React Native is the powerhouse for cross-platform mobile development. Write once, run everywhere, get native performance when you need it, enjoy hot reloading for rapid development, tap into a huge ecosystem of libraries and tools, and integrate with native modules when you need platform-specific features.

  14. Playwright

    Playwright is a framework for Web Testing and Automation. It allows testing Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API.

    We're not skimping on testing. Here's the trifecta: Vitest is faster than Jest and works with ES modules out of the box. React Testing Library is still great for component testing, helping you catch accessibility issues and test like a user would. For end-to-end testing, Playwright is awesome, handling multiple browsers, visual testing, network stuff, and mobile device emulation without the flaky tests.

  15. Next.js

    The React Framework

    Next.js is the Swiss Army knife of React development. It does everything, and it does it well. It's got full React 19 support, integrated routing and API management, and built-in performance optimizations.

  16. jest

    Delightful JavaScript Testing.

    We're not skimping on testing. Here's the trifecta: Vitest is faster than Jest and works with ES modules out of the box. React Testing Library is still great for component testing, helping you catch accessibility issues and test like a user would. For end-to-end testing, Playwright is awesome, handling multiple browsers, visual testing, network stuff, and mobile device emulation without the flaky tests.

  17. bolt.new

    Prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web applications

    Bolt is a browser-based development platform that's pretty wild. It turns your words into working React apps. You just describe what you want, and boom – you've got a full-stack application right in your browser. No need to set up a local environment or fiddle with complicated tools. It's got some neat tricks: real-time preview as you work, automated debugging, and one-click deployment to places like Netlify. You can go from idea to live app without ever leaving your browser.
