  • aberdeen

    A TypeScript/JavaScript library for quickly building performant declarative user interfaces without the use of a virtual DOM.

    Yes, that's possible and works really well.

    I've written this library [1] as a clean reimplementation of a more complex beast we created for a (now dead) startup. Although the reimplementation has only seen very light use, we've used the concept extensively, and it's a joy to use. Take a look at the examples [2].

  • 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.

  • Elm

    Compiler for Elm, a functional language for reliable webapps.

    Pretty much. I keep asking people "Why not Elm?" ( https://elm-lang.org/ ) but no one has a very good answer.

    The weird thing to me is that the two main customers or consumers of front-end programming (publishers and users) never see and do not care about the underlying language or implementation! Businesses and other orgs (schools, NGOs, etc.) as well as individuals (FB users, WordPress blogs, etc.) never see under the hood (except when something goes wrong or they deliberately click "View Source", eh?)

    Ergo, all this whole Javascript ecosystem is solely for the developers. It's like a giant and largely irrelevant MMORG that we play that produces mostly-working websites and apps almost as a side effect.
