   Has almost everything I need

   I've started using this as my main IDE for new projects when I'm trying things out. If it keeps getting better at the rate it has been, it'll be even better than coding locally.

   🏁 Competitors: replit

   👍 Pros:    Easy to get started and operate|Fast|Supports common extensions|Works with most npm packages

   👎 Cons:    Still not as good as local development|Can be hard to debug|Build times can be slower than local

   The only negative thing about this web app, is that it's not clear which formats are supported in which browsers.

• RS-X: Framework-agnostic reactive state and expressions for JavaScript/TS

  Managing reactive state and dependent computations in JavaScript can get complex, especially when combining asynchronous and synchronous data. RS-X is a library that allows you to bind expressions to plain objects and makes the parts of the model used by those expressions fully reactive. Dependent computations automatically update when the underlying data changes. RS-X is framework-agnostic. While it can drive UI... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Show HN: I combine Htmx, LiveView and SolidJS for interactive server components

  I like htmx, LiveView, React and Solid. They are great at different points, so I try to combine them in Solv (Stateless Offline-capable LiveView) and write a prototype to show the benefits. Solv's main idea is that stateless servers keep client's state in a volatile cache. It enables server components that are also interactive, which is best of both worlds between LiveView and htmx. Then fine-grained reactivity is... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Show HN: Solv – Stateless Offline-Capable LiveView – Prototype 03

  I like htmx, LiveView, React and Solid. They are great at different points, and this is a prototype trying to combine them. Solv's main idea is that stateless servers keep client's state in a volatile cache. It enables server components that are also interactive, which is best of both worlds between LiveView and htmx. Then fine-grained reactivity is added to achieve efficient DOM updates + minimal payload size.... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• AutoView - turning your blueprint into UI components (AI Code Generator)

  In the code editor tab (powered by StackBlitz), navigate to the env.ts file and enter your OpenAI key. Run npm run generate in the terminal to see how @autoview generates TypeScript frontend code from example schemas derived from both TypeScript types and OpenAPI documents. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Speed Up Your WordPress Site in 30 Minutes: A No-Plugin Performance Guide

  Use a free tool like Squoosh (by Google) to batch convert your existing images to WebP. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Free Browser Tools for Developers Who Make Content

  Every image goes through Squoosh before it lands in any repo I own. Drag the file in, pick WebP or AVIF, drag the quality slider until the preview still looks clean, download. The size reduction is usually 60–80% with no visible quality loss. It runs entirely locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere. For a performance-conscious developer this matters. Best for: Pre-commit image optimisation, blog... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Rust WASM vs TypeScript Performance: Why the 'Faster' Language Lost by 25% [2026]

  The Squoosh image compression app from Google is a great example. It runs codecs like MozJPEG and WebP entirely in WASM, processing large image buffers with minimal boundary crossings. Near-native compression performance, right in the browser. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Flutter App Taking Too Long to Start? Here's What You're Doing Wrong

  For images, tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh can reduce file sizes dramatically, often by 60-80%, with little to no visible quality difference. For your splash screen specifically, consider using a simple vector image (SVG) or even a plain color with your logo instead of a heavy raster image. Flutter's native splash screen supports this out of the box and it's blazing fast. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
