Inferno
React-like JavaScript library for building modern user interfaces
Inferno is an insanely fast, React-like library for building high-performance user interfaces on both the client and server. React-like API, concepts and component lifecycle events. Switch over easily with inferno-compat. One of the fastest front-end frameworks for rendering UI in the DOM, making 60 FPS on mobile possible. Isomorphic rendering on both client and server, along with fast-booting from server-side renders. Inferno doesn't have a fully synthetic event system like React does. Inferno has a partially synthetic event system, instead opting to only delegate certain events (such as `onClick`). Inferno doesn't support React Native. Inferno was only designed for the browser/server with the DOM in mind. Inferno doesn't support legacy string refs, use `createRef` or callback `ref` API. Inferno provides lifecycle events on functional components. This is a major win for people who prefer lightweight components rather than ES2015 classes. -

Marked
A markdown parser and compiler. Built for speed
A low-level markdown compiler for parsing markdown without caching or blocking for long periods of time. Light-weight while implementing all markdown features from the supported flavors & specifications. Available as a command-line interface (CLI) and running in client- or server-side JavaScript projects. The only completely secure system is the one that doesn't exist in the first place. Having said that, we take the security of Marked very seriously. To prevent ReDoS attacks you can run marked on a worker and terminate it when parsing takes longer than usual. Marked can be run in a worker thread on a node server, or a web worker in a browser. Only current and LTS Node.js versions are supported. End-of-life Node.js versions may become incompatible with Marked at any point in time. -

PWA
(WIP) Universal PWA Builder
PWA is a “universal, framework-agnostic PWA builder” developed by Luke Edwards (lukeed) that aims to let developers scaffold progressive web apps with minimal friction across different view frameworks or libraries. Unlike many CLI tools that target a specific framework (React, Vue, Svelte), this project intentionally tries to remain agnostic, supporting presets for Preact, React, Vue, Svelte and even vanilla JS, while offering all the PWA boilerplate you need (service workers, manifest, offline support) right out of the box. The project is designed for speed of setup: you run pwa init, choose your preset, then pwa build or pwa watch and you get a production-ready bundle with PWA features baked in. The README emphasizes that modern bundlers (Webpack, Rollup) and ecosystem maturity finally allow a universal CLI of this kind, whereas earlier attempts weren’t practical. -

Flux
Application architecture for building user interfaces
Flux is the application architecture that Facebook uses for building client-side web applications. It complements React's composable view components by utilizing a unidirectional data flow. It's more of a pattern rather than a formal framework, and you can start using Flux immediately without a lot of new code. Flux applications have three major parts: the dispatcher, the stores, and the views (React components). These should not be confused with Model-View-Controller. Controllers do exist in a Flux application, but they are controller-views — views often found at the top of the hierarchy that retrieve data from the stores and pass this data down to their children. Additionally, action creators — dispatcher helper methods — are used to support a semantic API that describes all changes that are possible in the application. It can be useful to think of them as a fourth part of the Flux update cycle. -

SuperAgent
Ajax for Node.js and browsers (JS HTTP client)
SuperAgent is light-weight progressive ajax API crafted for flexibility, readability, and a low learning curve after being frustrated with many of the existing request APIs. It also works with Node.js! Small progressive client-side HTTP request library, and Node.js module with the same API, supporting many high-level HTTP client features. Browser-ready versions of this module are available via jsdelivr, unpkg, and also in the node_modules/superagent/dist folder in downloads of the superagent package. If you are using browserify, webpack, rollup, or another bundler, then you can follow the same usage as Node. SuperAgent is easily extended via plugins. The Node client supports making requests to Unix Domain Sockets. DELETE, HEAD, PATCH, POST, and PUT requests can also be used, simply change the method name. Absolute URLs can be used. In web browsers absolute URLs work only if the server implements CORS. -

Ramda
A practical functional library for JavaScript programmers
Ramda is a practical functional library for JavaScript programmers. There are already several excellent libraries with a functional flavor. Typically, they are meant to be general-purpose toolkits, suitable for working in multiple paradigms. Ramda has a more focused goal. We wanted a library designed specifically for a functional programming style, one that makes it easy to create functional pipelines, one that never mutates user data. The primary distinguishing features of Ramda are: Ramda emphasizes a purer functional style. Immutability and side-effect free functions are at the heart of its design philosophy. This can help you get the job done with simple, elegant code. Ramda functions are automatically curried. This allows you to easily build up new functions from old ones simply by not supplying the final parameters. The parameters to Ramda functions are arranged to make it convenient for currying. The data to be operated on is generally supplied last. -

Relay
JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications
Relay is data-fetching turned declarative. Components declare their data dependencies, without worrying about how to fetch them. Relay guarantees that the data each component needs is fetched and available. This keeps components decoupled and promotes reuse. With Relay, components and their data dependencies can be quickly modified without modifying other parts of the system. That means you won't accidentally break other components as you refactor or make changes to your app. Relay's compiler aggregates and optimizes the data requirements for your entire app, so that they can be efficiently fetched in a single GraphQL request. Relay handles the heavy lifting to ensure the data declared by your components is fetched in the most efficient way. For example, by deduplicating identical fields, and precomputing information used at runtime, among other optimizations. Relay also supports executing GraphQL Mutations, optionally with optimistic updates, and updates to local data. -

V Programming Language
Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing software
Simple language for building maintainable programs. You can learn the entire language by going through the documentation over a weekend, and in most cases, there's only one way to do something. This results in simple, readable, and maintainable code. Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. V avoids doing unnecessary allocations in the first place by using value types, and string buffers, promoting a simple abstraction-free code style. Most objects (~90-100%) are freed by V's auto-free engine: the compiler inserts necessary free calls automatically during compilation. A remaining small percentage of objects is freed via GC. The developer doesn't need to change anything in their code. "It just works", like in Python, Go, or Java, except there's no heavy GC tracing everything or expensive RC for each object. -

express-session
Simple session middleware for Express
This is a Node.js module available through the npm registry. Installation is done using the npm install command provided in the instructions. Create a session middleware with the given options. Session data is not saved in the cookie itself, just the session ID. Session data is stored server-side. Since version 1.5.0, the cookie-parser middleware no longer needs to be used for this module to work. This module now directly reads and writes cookies on req/res. Using cookie-parser may result in issues if the secret is not the same between this module and cookie-parser. The default server-side session storage, MemoryStore, is purposely not designed for a production environment. It will leak memory under most conditions, does not scale past a single process, and is meant for debugging and developing. -

Brunch
Web applications made easy
Brunch lets you focus on what matters most, solving real problems instead of messing around with the glue. By being opinionated about your build pipeline, Brunch is able to provide a smooth and fast experience, and makes your config files take a drastic cut. It doesn't take much to get around with brunch. 'brunch new' to create a new project. 'brunch build' to build. 'brunch watch' to live-compile. Installation is one-line, once you have node.js. You will find that the typical config of a Brunch application is an order of magnitude simpler, compared to Webpack, Grunt, or Gulp. Besides configs, brunch is also simpler in terms of commands. Grunt / Gulp commands replicate all plugins it loads. Brunch always has three commands: new, build and watch. Build / watch commands may receive optional production flag which will tell Brunch to optimize assets, javascripts and stylesheets. -

Caramel
Functional language for building type-safe applications
Caramel is a functional language for building type-safe, scalable, and maintainable applications. It is built in OCaml and maintained by Abstract Machines. Caramel leverages the OCaml compiler, to provide you with a pragmatic type system and industrial-strength type safety, and the Erlang VM, known for running low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems used in a wide range of industries. Excellent type inference, so you never need to annotate your code. Supports sources in OCaml (and soon Reason syntax too). Caramel aims to make building type-safe concurrent programs a productive and fun experience. Caramel should let anyone with existing OCaml or Reason experience be up and running without having to relearn the entire language. Caramel strives to integrate with the larger ecosystem of BEAM languages, like Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, Purerl, LFE, and Hamler.
