1. nvm

   Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

   

   Node.js - I recommend installing Node using either nvm or fnm.

2. Nutrient

   nutrient.io featured

   Nutrient - The #1 PDF SDK Library. Bad PDFs = bad UX. Slow load times, broken annotations, clunky UX frustrates users.

4. wallet-adapter

   Modular TypeScript wallet adapters and components for Solana applications.

   

5. solana-web3.js

   4 12 2,365 9.9 TypeScript

   Discontinued Solana JavaScript SDK

   

   solana/web3.js - A Solana version of web3.js that seems to work pretty well, but the documentation was almost unusable for me

   The library for web and native user interfaces.

   

   React - The client-side framework

7. hardhat

   6 136 7,507 9.8 TypeScript

   Hardhat is a development environment to compile, deploy, test, and debug your Ethereum software.

   

   Anchor Framework - Anchor is actually a life saver for me, and I'm almost certain I would not have been able to get over the hump of building anything without it. It is the Hardhat of Solana development and more, and I love it. It also offers a DSL on top of Rust so that you do not need a deep understanding of the language to get started, though I am still trying to learn Rust as it will probably be useful to build anything non-trivial, even with the DSL. A good free place to learn Rust is The Rust Book.
