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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Essential React
A minimal skeleton for building testable React apps using Babel
A minimal skeleton for building testable React apps using Babel. The design goals are to use fewer tools (no yeoman, gulp, bower, etc...) Babel 6 with Webpack and Hot Loader. Fast testing with mocked-out DOM. Import CSS files as class names. Separate smart and dumb components. No specific implementation of Flux or data fetching patterns. A core philosophy of this skeleton app is to keep the tooling to a minimum. For this reason, you can find all the commands in the scripts section of package.json. This leverages React Hot Loader to automatically start a local dev server and refresh file changes on the fly without reloading the page. It also automatically includes source maps, allowing you to browse code and set breakpoints on the original ES6 code. Build minified app for production using the production shortcut. -

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. -
21
LoopBack
Build modern applications that require complex integrations
A highly extensible Node.js and TypeScript framework for building APIs and microservices. A brand new LoopBack core to deliver great extensibility and flexibility written in TypeScript/ES2017. Create powerful APIs easily with a new creation experience for defining REST API's and handling API requests/responses. A new, improved programming model with Dependency Injection and new concepts such as Components, Mixins, Repositories, etc. make this the most extensible version yet. Using OpenAPI-to-GraphQL, create a GraphQL interface for any REST API. Schemas are used to create GraphQL data definitions, and links defined in the OAS are used to create a nested structure, allowing for (deeply) nested queries. GraphQL-incompatible identifiers of your API are sanitized. For example, API parameters or data definitions with unsupported characters (e.g., -, ., ,, :, ;...) are removed. -
22
Mithril.js
A JavaScript framework for building brilliant applications
Mithril is a modern client-side JavaScript framework for building Single Page Applications. It's small (< 10kb gzip), fast and provides routing and XHR utilities out of the box. Mithril is used by companies like Vimeo and Nike, and open source platforms like Lichess. Mithril supports IE11, Firefox ESR, and the last two versions of Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Chrome. No polyfills required. By default, Mithril views are described using hyperscript. Hyperscript offers a terse syntax that can be indented more naturally than HTML for complex tags, and since its syntax is just JavaScript, it's possible to leverage a lot of JavaScript tooling ecosystem. Mithril is all about getting meaningful work done efficiently. Doing file uploads? The docs show you how. Authentication? Documented too. Exit animations? You got it. No extra libraries, no magic. -

mui
High-performance framework closest to native APP experience
The gap between performance and experience has always been the primary reason for mobile app developers to abandon HTML5. The browser’s natural page-cutting white screen, the unbearable turning animation, the jittering of floating elements, and the inability to pull down to refresh smoothly, all of which frustrate HTML5 developers, especially when they get a low-end Android machine to run, and the phone falls. On the other hand, the browser default control styles are few and ugly, making a beautiful control is very troublesome, and there are some simple UI frameworks but low performance. The mui framework effectively solves these problems. This is a framework that can facilitate the development of high-performance apps, and it is also the framework that is closest to the effect of native apps. -
24
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. -
