- Hono
Hono is an ultrafast web framework designed for edge computing environments. It's lightweight, supports multiple runtimes including Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Bun, and provides a familiar Express-like API with excellent TypeScript support.
- 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.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Drizzle ORM
Drizzle ORM is a TypeScript ORM for SQL databases designed with maximum type safety in mind. It comes with a drizzle-kit CLI companion for automatic SQL migrations generation. Drizzle ORM is meant to be a library, not a framework. It stays as an opt-in solution all the time at any levels.
- 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.
- Jotai
Jotai is a primitive and flexible state management library for React. It takes a bottom-up approach with an atomic model inspired by Recoil, offering a minimal API that scales from simple to complex state management needs without boilerplate.
- 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.
- Zod
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library. It allows you to define schemas that can validate data at runtime while providing excellent TypeScript inference, making it perfect for API validation, form validation, and type-safe data handling.
