/tooling

Here's a couple of other things that I love working with:

• Next.js: can't believe I put off working on Next,js for so long; it is an absolute delight!
• Styled components: CSS-in-JS just works
• TypeScript: type-safe code means that refactoring and catching bugs at code-write time itself becomes the norm
• React Query: makes fetching, caching, synchronizing and updating server state in your React applications a breeze.
• Supabase: hosted Postgres database with authentication, instant APIs, edge functions, realtime subscriptions and storage—not to mention their (very impressive) commitment to open-source!

and a couple of packages that I've been keeping an eye out for:

• Rome: an approach to "standardizing the web development experience" by consolidating a linter, compiler, bundler, and more for JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, Markdown, and CSS.
• Vite: taking the concepts of Snowpack and Parcel to a whole another level
• Svelte: component framework which unlike React and Vue (which primarily run in the browser), runs during the compile step at build time
• Tailwind: CSS framework with a focus on utility classes instead of prebuilt components
