webpack
A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
-
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.

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.
I am currently utilizing Vite:
Homepage: https://webpack.js.org/
Homepage: https://parceljs.org/
Supermemory has three main modules, managed by turborepo:
One notable feature is the ability to remember selected tabs. When you select a specific tab on a page, all other tabs on the page with the same name will also be selected. This selection will persist during your next visit to nx.dev.
Project mention: Gradle's leaky abstractions: Declarative(ish) shell, imperative core: Implementing a safe(ish) global configuration DSL | dev.to | 2024-03-24A ("shared") build service is kind of like a singleton, in that when you register one in any project, it's available in all projects as a single instance. (This unfortunately turns out not to be true, in some cases, when using composite builds, but can be worked around.) An actual singleton (global static instance) doesn't work at all, for the record—try it if you want to lose some sanity. Anyway, use a build service whenever you need global mutable state in your build.
To enable live reloading in Go we will checkout the command tool, Air - Live reload for Go apps.
Project mention: Cache is King: A guide for Docker layer caching in GitHub Actions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-07Also CACHE keyword, for cache mounts. Makes incremental tools like compilers work well in the context of dockerfiles and layer caches.
That can extend beyond just producing docker iamges as well. Under the covers the CACHE keyword is how lib/rust in Earthly makes building Rust artifacts in CI faster.

So many tools in this space! This one looks a little bit like go-task, but it seems maybe better for production workflows because if timeout support, while go-task seems more aimed to command line work/makefile replacement.

I've only used it once but it did the job (NOTE: Plain HTML, plain CSS, no build pipeline. So YMMV)
Project mention: Cpp2 and cppfront – An experimental 'C++ syntax 2' and its first compiler | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-31
Project mention: Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-13How does Flox compare to Devbox? https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox
Would you consider using some libraries in your project? There are lots of good ones in the Rust ecosystem, and many of them are not part of any existing browsers.
For example:
- https://github.com/servo/html5ever (HTML parsing - note: this is used in Servo)
- https://github.com/parcel-bundler/lightningcss (CSS parsing)
- https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (web layout)
- https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (text layout and rendering)
Obviously you should be free to work on whatever you like, but just as a benchmark on the scope of your project: I spent ~6 months implementing just the CSS Grid algorithm in Taffy last year. An entire browser from literal scratch is probably a 10 year project for one person.
Project mention: OWASP dependency check (<9.0.0) could fail to work after Dec 15th, 2023 | /r/programming | 2023-12-05
Project mention: Declarative Gradle is a cool thing I am afraid of: Maven strikes back | dev.to | 2023-11-11NOTE: I won’t mention SBT and Leiningen here because, with all due respect, they are niche build tools. I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained). Additionally, I won’t touch upon Bazel and Buck in this context, mainly because I’m not very familiar with them. If you have insights or comments about these tools, please feel free to share them in the comments 👇
Have you tried Bear? I used it for several projects and overall it works very well.
Modern.js framework
Project mention: Syncing Figma Variables and StyleDictionary with GitHub Actions | dev.to | 2023-08-03function getStyleDictionaryConfig(brand) { return { source: [`tokens/brands/${brand}/*.json`, 'tokens/globals/**/*.json'], platforms: { /** * Available platforms: https://amzn.github.io/style-dictionary/#/config?id=platform */ web: { transformGroup: 'web', buildPath: `build/web/${brand}/`, files: [ { destination: 'tokens.scss', format: 'scss/variables', }, ], }, }, } } /** * Build the tokens for each brand. * {@see - Example based on https://github.com/amzn/style-dictionary/tree/main/examples/advanced/multi-brand-multi-platform} */ ['microsoft', 'xbox'].map(function (brand) { ['web'].map(function (platform) { const StyleDictionary = StyleDictionaryPackage.extend( getStyleDictionaryConfig(brand), ) StyleDictionary.buildPlatform(platform) }) })
