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. -

Razzle
Create server-rendered universal JavaScript applications
JavaScript applications are tough to setup. Either you buy into a framework, fork a boilerplate, or set things up yourself. Aiming to fill this void, Razzle is a tool that abstracts all complex configuration needed for both SPA's and SSR applications into a single dependency--giving you the awesome developer experience of create-react-app, but then leaving the rest of your app's architectural decisions about frameworks, routing, and data fetching up to you. With this approach, Razzle not only works with React, but also Preact, Vue, Svelte, and Angular, and most importantly, whatever comes next. Razzle has many examples, we might have one that fits your needs. You don't need to worry about setting up multiple webpack configs or other build tools. Just start editing src/App.js and go! If you have issues with css this might be related to postcss being resolved wrong. -

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. -

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. -

Vulcan
A toolkit to quickly build apps with React, GraphQL & Meteor
Vulcan is a framework that gives you a set of tools for quickly building React & GraphQL-based web applications. It can handle data loading, e-mail notifications, automatic form generation, and much more, out of the box. Vulcan is unique in that it spans the full-stack, from the database to the browser. While there exist many excellent back-end frameworks or backend-as-a-service providers, these all still require you to handle the front-end code yourself, including building a set of components to read, write, and display data. However, being full-stack, Vulcan is able to speed up these repetitive tasks by providing a whole range of helper components that are fine-tuned to the Vulcan back-end, and as a result just work out of the box. In order to make working with Vulcan easier (especially when it comes to updating the core packages), you are also free to follow the more complicated “two-repo” pattern, with the two repositories. -

nivo
A rich set of dataviz components
nivo provides a rich set of dataviz components, built on top of the awesome d3 and Reactjs libraries. Several libraries already exist for React d3 integration, but just a few provide server side rendering ability and fully declarative charts. In order to use nivo, you have to install the @nivo/core package and then choose some of the scoped @nivo packages according to the charts you wish to use. Given an array of data series having an id and a nested array of points (with x, y properties), it will compute the line for each data series. All datum having null x or y will be treated as holes, thus portions of the corresponding line will be skipped. You can fully customize it using the circleComponent property to define your own, if you wish to do so you should have a look at the default SVG component to get started. Bar chart which can display multiple data series, stacked or side by side. Also supports both vertical and horizontal layout, with negative values descending below the x axis. -
