- Next.js
Next.js is a React-based web framework that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and other powerful features for building modern web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- TanStack
TanStack is a collection of high-quality, framework-agnostic libraries including TanStack Query for data fetching, TanStack Router for routing, TanStack Table for tables, and more. These tools provide powerful, type-safe solutions for common web development challenges.
- Chakra UI
Chakra UI is a popular open-source React component library that provides a set of accessible and customizable UI components to help developers create modern web applications.
- Templates & Themes
A template or theme refers to a pre-designed layout or structure that provides a basic framework for building a specific type of application or website. It typically includes good design, placeholder content and functional features, allowing developers to customize and fill in the details according to their specific needs.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Framer Motion
Alpine.js is a lightweight JavaScript framework that simplifies the process of creating dynamic, reactive user interfaces on the web. It uses a declarative syntax that offers a higher level of abstraction compared to vanilla JavaScript, while being more performant and easier to use than jQuery.
- Pwa
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a type of web application that uses modern web technologies to provide a native app-like experience to users, including offline functionality, push notifications, and device hardware access. PWAs can be installed on a user's home screen and launched like a traditional app, but do not require a separate app store listing or download.
- React Hook Form
React Hook Form is a performant, flexible, and extensible form library for React with easy validation. It reduces re-renders and improves performance by using uncontrolled components and native HTML validation, making form handling simple and efficient.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Yup
Yup is a schema builder for runtime value parsing and validation. It provides a declarative way to define validation schemas with support for complex nested objects, array validation, and custom validation rules. Often used with Formik for form validation.
- Zustand
Zustand is a lightweight state management library for React that provides a simple and intuitive API for managing state in your application. It allows developers to easily create and manage global state, and provides a powerful set of tools for optimizing performance and improving developer productivity. Zustand is designed to be easy to use and easy to learn, making it a popular choice for developers of all skill levels.
