Datastar: Modern web dev, simplified

You love building web apps with Python, and HTMX got you excited about the hypermedia approach -- let the server drive the HTML, skip the JavaScript build step, keep things simple. But then you hit that last 10%: You need Alpine.js for interactivity, your state gets out of sync, and suddenly you're juggling two unrelated libraries that weren't designed to work together. What if there was a single 11-kilobyte framework that gave you everything HTMX and Alpine do, and more, with real-time updates, multiplayer collaboration out of the box, and performance so fast you're actually bottlenecked by the monitor's refresh rate? That's Datastar. On this episode, I sit down with its creator Delaney Gillilan, core maintainer Ben Croker, and Datastar convert Chris May to explore how this backend-driven, server-sent-events-first framework is changing the way full-stack developers think about the modern web.

Real-World React: Designing Frontend Architectures That Survive Production | Workshops | Faris Aziz

Most React workshops focus on building features. This one focuses on keeping them alive. In production, React applications fail in ways that local environments never show: partial outages, slow dependencies, silent errors, broken rollouts, and performance regressions that only appear under real traffic. This workshop is a practical, architecture-first walkthrough of how experienced teams design React systems that stay resilient, observable, and scalable long after the first release. We will explore how component architecture, reconciliation in practice, and runtime failure patterns shape performance and operability far more than memoization tricks or framework features. Using React and Next.js as shared reference points, we will work through concrete patterns for failure recovery, error containment, safe rollouts, and post-deployment confidence. This is a hands-on, experience-driven workshop based on real production constraints, tradeoffs, and lessons learned from operating large React applications at scale. Attendees will leave with a mental model for building frontend systems that can fail safely, recover quickly, and ship continuously without fear. Most of the workshop is framework and library-agnostic, but we'll use React and Next.js as our common ground for communication and examples. This is not an exhaustive masterclass; it's a conversation starter and experience share to jumpstart your journey toward battle-tested software architecture.

I Built the Same App 10 Times: Evaluating Frameworks for Mobile Performance | Loren Stewart

I needed to choose a framework for a mobile-first app at work. I started comparing Next.js, SolidStart, and SvelteKit, then expanded to 10 frameworks. The measurements revealed dramatic differences in bundle sizes, performance, and the real cost of framework choices.

Svelte really is that fast

The five most popular JS frameworks – Angular, React, Vue, Svelte and Blazor – use different rendering strategies, and it shows.
