• Show HN: Million Lint – ESLint for Performance
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Feb 2024

  Hey HN! Founder of Million – We’re building a tool to that helps fix slow React code. Here is a quick demo: https://youtu.be/k-5jWgpRqlQ

  Fixing web performance issues is hard. Every developer knows this experience: we insert console.log everywhere, catch some promising leads, but nothing happens before "time runs out." Eventually, the slow/buggy code never gets fixed, problems pile up on a backlog, and our end users are hurt.

  We started Million to fix this. A VSCode extension that identifies slow code and suggests fixes (like ESLint, for performance!) The website is here: https://million.dev/blog/lint

  I realized this was a problem when I tried to write an optimizing compiler for React in high school (src: https://github.com/aidenybai/million). It garnered a lot of interest (14K+ stars) and usage, but it didn't solve all user problems.

  Traditionally, devtools either hinge on full static analysis OR runtime profiling. We found success in a mixture of the two with dynamic analysis. During compilation, we inject instrumentation where it's necessary. Here is an example:

    function App({ start }) {

  To be honest, it fills me with great joy to finally be able to witness the launch of the 3.0.0 major release of Million.js; this is something that has been talked about since maybe July 2023, but, Aiden Bai finally assembled a team to get it out there and just last week on the day 2 February as at 8:00 am PST (Pacific Standard Time) Million v3 was released!!

  Consider replacing the default virtual DOM with an alternative solution. For instance, Million.js

• Show HN: I made a tool that makes React faster automatically
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Aug 2023

  In brief: I'm Aiden, 18, and have spent the past 2 years of high school working on Million.js, an open source React alternative with 11K stars on GitHub and hundreds of thousands of npm downloads.

  Recently, I released automatic mode, which detects slow React components and automatically optimizes the reconciliation phase. It's still in beta but chugging along. It's around 70% faster than React on the JS Framework Benchmark and you can see how I did it here: https://million.dev/blog/virtual-dom

• What are your thoughts on Preact Signals? I've thoroughly enjoyed it but am now thinking of dropping it because it results in a fat stack of issues in the Next 13 server logs and because Dan Abramov himself advised against it. Nothing's broken, but it doesn't feel like it makes sense to use anymore
  1 project | /r/react | 5 Jul 2023

  Either that or add signals to the library itself. I don't get why it isn't in there when a ton of React's competitors are either using signal-like behavior or forgoing the clearly-obsolete way React handles its VDOM. When a high schooler can create something to make the library faster, you know that the core team is either prioritizing the wrong things or someone managing React is too prideful to admit that a lot of what worked a decade ago doesn't work today.
