This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/programming

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

    The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀

  • I went through the same struggle until I discovered https://parceljs.org/, it lets you organize the project as you would in the good old days while importing the modules you need. You can also use niceties of ES6 (e.g. modules) and scss but you don't have to. A life saver!

  • esbuild

    An extremely fast bundler for the web

  • Parcel is already ancient history. All the cool kids are now using esbuild /s

  • 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.

  • TypeScript-Website

    The Website and web infrastructure for learning TypeScript

  • > Vast boilerplate? Oh yeah, you better set-up your project with TypeScript, ESlint, Webpack and Babel

  • appsmith

    Platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Integrates with 25+ databases and any API.

  • If you do not want to re-invent the wheel each time, you could check for tools for that. For example: - Retool - Appsmith - Pipedream

  • Snowpack

    Discontinued ESM-powered frontend build tool. Instant, lightweight, unbundled development. ✌️ [Moved to: https://github.com/FredKSchott/snowpack] (by withastro)

  • berry

    📦🐈 Active development trunk for Yarn ⚒

  • Oh and while you're at it, install also Yarn, because why not make use of two package managers at the same time

  • Sass

    Sass makes CSS fun!

  • We no longer write CSS, because it's lame. We now write SCSS instead

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • stylus

    Expressive, robust, feature-rich CSS language built for nodejs

  • Stylus. I like it more than Sass and Less, but it isn't as popular.

  • PostCSS

    Transforming styles with JS plugins

  • There's also PostCSS which was supposed to make css preprocessors modular like the rest of your code. I don't know how many people use it after the newest css features have rolled out like Grid and whatnot.

  • awesome-lit-html

    A curated list of awesome Lit resources.

  • Also this https://github.com/web-padawan/awesome-lit-html for a big list of stuff related to them.

  • primevue

    Next Generation Vue UI Component Library

  • This is another originally java JSF lib that now has both react and vue.js components you can use https://www.primefaces.org/primevue/
