Video summary

Hello, everyone. My name is Tero Piirainen, a software engineer from Helsinki, Finland. I'm introducing a new UX framework for the web called Nue. It provides better tooling, code basis, and resulting websites compared to established frameworks like Next.js or Beat or Astro. Nue is incredibly fast, 100 times faster than Next.js, with improved hot reloading times. Simplicity is a key advantage of Nue, offering instant browser reactions to saved files and quick updates with hot reloading. Nue emphasizes timeless skills and focuses on design engineering, transitioning from JavaScript to modern CSS. Gnu, a component of Nue, focuses on CSS and offers small and fast websites with built-in turbo-linking and view transition motion effects. Overall, Nue and Gnu provide a simpler, faster, and more flexible development experience with a focus on user experience and design engineering.

FAQ

Nue reduces the complexity by minimizing API methods, simplifying the codebase, and focusing on content-first development, making it accessible even to non-technical users.

Nue plans to offer professionally designed templates, improved performance, and enhanced capabilities for single-page applications and content-heavy websites.

Nue offers simplicity, a smaller and less complex system, faster development with hot reloading, and a better developer experience focused on UX design.

Tero Piirainen is a software engineer from Helsinki, Finland, known for creating Flowplayer, a jQuery tools library, and more recently, the Nue framework.

Nue websites are smaller and faster, featuring built-in turbo-linking and view transition motion effects, resulting in a smooth user experience with minimal code.

Nue provides instant hot reloading, allowing developers to see changes immediately in the browser across multiple platforms, and supports modern CSS for styling and animations.

Nue focuses on design engineering with CSS, whereas Next.js focuses on JavaScript engineering. Nue's codebase is more minimalistic and standard-based, using modern CSS techniques.

Nue is a UX framework for the web designed to provide better tooling, better code, and result in better websites compared to established frameworks like Next.js.

Nue is significantly faster than Next.js. For example, building a blog with Next.js takes about 10 seconds, while Nue takes only 48 milliseconds on the same task.

Mishko, the creator of Angular and AngularJS, discusses the challenges of website performance and JavaScript hydration. He explains the differences between client-side and server-side rendering and introduces Quik as a solution for efficient component hydration. Mishko demonstrates examples of state management and intercommunication using Quik. He highlights the performance benefits of using Quik with React and emphasizes the importance of reducing JavaScript size for better performance. Finally, he mentions the use of QUIC in both MPA and SPA applications for improved startup performance.

SolidJS: Why All the Suspense?

Top Content

Ryan Carniato

SolidJS Creator / Netlify

Suspense is a mechanism for orchestrating asynchronous state changes in JavaScript frameworks. It ensures async consistency in UIs and helps avoid trust erosion and inconsistencies. Suspense boundaries are used to hoist data fetching and create consistency zones based on the user interface. They can handle loading states of multiple resources and control state loading in applications. Suspense can be used for transitions, providing a smoother user experience and allowing prioritization of important content.

Tom Pressenwurter introduces Redwood.js, a full stack app framework for building GraphQL APIs easily and maintainably. He demonstrates a Redwood.js application with a React-based front end and a Node.js API. Redwood.js offers a simplified folder structure and schema for organizing the application. It provides easy data manipulation and CRUD operations through GraphQL functions. Redwood.js allows for easy implementation of new queries and directives, including authentication and limiting access to data. It is a stable and production-ready framework that integrates well with other front-end technologies.

Building WebApps That Light Up the Internet with QwikCity

Featured WorkshopFree

Miško Hevery

Building instant-on web applications at scale have been elusive. Real-world sites need tracking, analytics, and complex user interfaces and interactions. We always start with the best intentions but end up with a less-than-ideal site.
QwikCity is a new meta-framework that allows you to build large-scale applications with constant startup-up performance. We will look at how to build a QwikCity application and what makes it unique. The workshop will show you how to set up a QwikCitp project. How routing works with layout. The demo application will fetch data and present it to the user in an editable form. And finally, how one can use authentication. All of the basic parts for any large-scale applications.
Along the way, we will also look at what makes Qwik unique, and how resumability enables constant startup performance no matter the application complexity.

The modern web would be different without rich client-side applications supported by powerful frameworks: React, Angular, Vue, Lit, and many others. These frameworks rely on client-side JavaScript, which is their core. However, there are other approaches to rendering. One of them (quite old, by the way) is server-side rendering entirely without JavaScript. Let's find out if this is a good idea and how Remix can help us with it?
Prerequisites- Good understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript- It would help to have experience with React, Redux, Node.js and writing FrontEnd and BackEnd applications- Preinstall Node.js, npm- We prefer to use VSCode, but also cloud IDEs such as codesandbox (other IDEs are also ok)

Build a Universal Reactive Data Library with Starbeam

WorkshopFree

Yehuda Katz

This session will focus on Starbeam's universal building blocks. We'll use Starbeam to build a data library that works in multiple frameworks.We'll write a library that caches and updates data, and supports relationships, sorting and filtering.Rather than fetching data directly, it will work with asynchronously fetched data, including data fetched after initial render. Data fetched and updated through web sockets will also work well.All of these features will be reactive, of course.Imagine you filter your data by its title, and then you update the title of a record to match the filter: any output relying on the filtered data will update to reflect the updated filter.In 90 minutes, you'll build an awesome reactive data library and learn a powerful new tool for building reactive systems. The best part: the library works in any framework, even though you don't think about (or depend on) any framework when you built it.
Table of contents- Storing a Fetched Record in a Cell- Storing multiple records in a reactive Map- Reactive iteration is normal iteration- Reactive filtering is normal filtering- Fetching more records and updating the Map- Reactive sorting is normal sorting (is this getting a bit repetitive?)- Modelling cache invalidation as data- Bonus: reactive relationships
