Jumping jimmies! React is 10 years old. Oh, how time flies…
Miško is on tour giving Qwik talks, while I’m home alone with the kid. But hey, that’s life 🤷🏽 I’m also still recovering from jet lag and lots of folks are on vacation so we hadn’t had much time to write.
But have no fear — we’re on it 😉
And now for our Dad Joke of the Day:
Why don't JavaScript developers like to go outside?
.
.
Because they might get caught in a callback hell.
In light of React turning 10, Vishwas went over the React ecosystem in 2023 from starting a new project through all the nooks and crannies you’d need for your React app.
Yoav (yeah, me) wrote about effortless Multi-threading in JSX using the new worker$ package.
Miško did a deep dive and wrote about how to build your own resumable framework.
Miško and Yoav (me again!) compared the same Movie app written in 7 different frameworks. With Qwik now post-V1, would be interesting to try again.
The qase for Qwik is 6 months old already, it was the first post I wrote on my own on the Builder blog.
Miško tag teamed with Brent (not a dev, but we’ll forgive him 😂) and wrote about the problem with a headless CMS.
- Tobias Zimmerman wrote a post titled “How 10 Engineers Deliver Exactly What the Browser Wants with Qwik” - a case study about his teams experience.
- Delba de Oliveira sat down with Andrew Clark and Sebastian Markbåge (all in Vercel nowadays) to mark the 10-year celebration of React.
- Speaking of the React team, Dan Abramov gave a talk about the future of React and RSCs at RemixConf titled React from another dimension.
- Last mention of React for this time — Addy Osmani curated things about React Server Components, Next.js App Router, and examples.
- Well, I lied a bit.. Dominik wrote about why you might not need React Query. A really honest take, even though he’s one of the core maintainers of the library.
- Dima Ivashchuk wrote a complete guide on Playwright visual regression testing.
- After the Svelte team said they don’t use TS to write Svelte, the Pausly team wrote about how to get full type support with plain JavaScript.
- A post series by Andrew Boon gives a nice roundup of upcoming CSS features.
- This website will show you the worst UI, ever.
- jQuery 3.7.0 was released — who knew?
- Scroll Between allows you to tween any CSS values on any DOM element in relation to its viewport position.
- Astro 2.5 is out — some cool features here, like data collection and HTML minification.
- Postman released a VSCode Extension. Handy, now just add Uber Eats to my editor and I will never leave it.
- LangChain.js is a framework for developing LLM (Large Languae Model) AI apps in JS.
- Tamagui is at 1.0. It’s a lib to build cross platform React apps (darn it, I did it again 🤦🏽♂️).
- useHooks is a collection of server-safe hooks by the ui.dev team (and again 🫣).
- Nader Dabit made an AI starter for text search using Next.js, LangchainJS, and Pinecone.

Hope you enjoyed!
