🍬 Mobbin​

Need some Web Design Inspiration? Seems like half these “inspiration” websites are just huge images with Inter font on top. This site has some great categories for everything from marketing landing pages to application design.

​

🍬 Kotekan​

Bun + React Server Components? Buntime? An interesting take on a new React framework.

Since Bun natively supports JSX and TypeScript, they are able to do the entire server part without a bundler.

🔥 ESM vs CJS is a waste of time​
​

Jarred Sumner @jarredsumner @jullerino my hot take here is ESM vs CJS is a waste of everyone’s time, “moving forward” is a distraction. The users of your app/service don’t care about the JavaScript module format your code is written in. Julius @jullerino To all the folks in the comments complaining about going ESM only. The ecosystem is never going to move forward if there’s no incentive to update your codebase from legacy code. 🌶️More libs should drop CJS support https://twitter.com/kettanaito/status/1769338363364946346 6:55 PM • Mar 17, 2024 0 Retweets 29 Likes Read 2 replies

🔥 Wait, was Flow better than TypeScript? Did we get it wrong?​

Dan Abramov - React Core Team - details how a new feature in Flow allows you to restrict the type of children that are rendered as a component children

dan 2 @dan_abramov2 it’s a shame flow has completely fallen off the open source radar. this feature is huge for design systems (eg <Select> can restrict children type to <Option> or anything that *eventually* renders <Option>). but with flow not being competitive, TS has no incentive to follow https://twitter.com/haroenv/status/1765650599528333612 Haroen Viaene @haroenv fascinating new feature of @flowtype: https://flow.org/en/docs/react/render-types/ specifying types for the children of react element (thanks @_gsathya for pointing this out a couple weeks ago before it was documented) 7:37 AM • Mar 16, 2024 19 Retweets 273 Likes Read 15 replies
