Plop update will be going out today with an immense "thank you" to @43081j.com

Skeleton loaders are cool! But after a bit of looking, I couldn't find an implementation in React that had the loading line persist across elements So I built my own! It's framework agnostic & supports React/Vue All cuz I got nerd sniped by a mockup from @pratti.bsky.social lol sync-skeleton.dev

Announcing a new series of packages today 👀

hi, if you are trying to ddos @playfulprogramming.com - please stop? and if your goals are to scrape then, like.... just go to our GitHub and grab the contents there? this is so weird.

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it. A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

One area that React Native needs to improve in before v1 is an official packaging solution for libraries. Far too many tools still use CJS-only, JSX in `.js` files, rely too heavily on `process.env`, or other configuration mishaps. It's the sole reason we can't, ie, use Vite in React Native.

Earlier today, I called out a RHF "setFocus" API for A11Y problems. I was wrong and didn't do due diligence to correct my incorrect knowledge. I apologize to RHF folks - they've always been classy, wasn't fair of me I also doc'd the behavior in @tanstack.com Form tanstack.com/form/latest/...

I don't mean to be a jerk, but this docs page drastically needs to come with a warning: react-hook-form.com/docs/useform... Changing the user's focus without their permission - even for error states - is an atrocious A11Y violation. TBQH I'd even deprecate this function with an err.

My younger brother's intro to CSP class has "Vibe Coding" as a final... We're certainly in the AI age now

It takes 26 yottabytes of RAM to typecheck a union of Safe Integers

I noticed that the React docs had some outdated information about custom elements: So I wrote more on it! Would love your thoughts and reviews: github.com/reactjs/reac...

We ( @tanstack.com ) discovered a bug in the interop between React 19 and Solid's Web Components generator. So naturally we fixed it 😎 github.com/ryansolid/co...

Apollo Client 4.0 is officially out! Take a look at the release notes here: github.com/apollographq...

Y'all are seriously sleeping on microfrontends. Not for long-term maintenance but migrations for legacy projects. Know enough framework internals to write adapters to render one FW's components in another and you become impossibly valuable for a company looking to modernize.

I'm hiring! Come work with my team as a Senior Backend Engineer working with TypeScript & Node.js We're looking for someone with 5+ years in the industry to help us foster our BE into something awesome We've got fairly flexible hours, a great team, good comp www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

I wrote an article about how to write React Hooks from scratch! This started because I had an assumption that they were backed by an array internally in React - turns out they're not! Was fun to reverse eng the actual solution to make it readable at a glance 😄

back in my day vibe coding was just asking your smart friends what to do and acting dumb when they try to explain never seen someone take over my keyboard and type so fast

Today's the day! We're releasing a new major feature of @tanstack.com Form for all adapters that allows you to change the validation mode based on submission. (For React nerds that's how RHF works OOTB) No breaking changes, trivial to implement; try it out! tanstack.com/form/latest/...

Boom, much to @justinfagnani.com's delight (I assume :P) we have much more docs on the @tanstack.com Form Lit adapter as well as better examples: tanstack.com/form/latest/...

While prepping for THE feature release tomorrow for @tanstack.com Form, I noticed docs and examples for non-React adapters are lacking. I'm working on adding at very least: - React's validation docs page - Standard schema examples - New feature examples To all supported FWs.

Imminently close to releasing a huge feature that many have been asking for in @tanstack.com Form. It's big big. A substantial refactor of our validation logic to enable. Zero breaking changes. Stay tuned.

in case you ever wondered what kind of highly professional messages i send in the @tanstack.com maintainer channel...

I genuinely think this is the best article I've ever written. It's a long one, but it covers: - React's history going back to 2014 - Reintroducing React's concepts from first principles - Architecture review of the React itself - Explaination of Idempotence in React And more!

i just got called "numnuts" on linkedin for pointing out that 600+ commits in a single day isn't possible... who the hell is using "numnuts" in 2025??

I have an infinite respect for front-end engineers. Say what you want, frontend is extremely complex. To make things worse, there's very little established practices in JavaScript so it feels you're re-inventing wheels and solving things that shouldn't be solved daily.

You love to see the best people you know win - this is absolutely a case of such! Can't wait to see how the Vue and broader web ecosystems evolve as a result.

The @solidjs.com adapter for @tanstack.com Store was fairly broken until today. Should be fixed now as of 0.7.2. Performance should be better as well in most usecases. Please update to test and ensure no regressions were made. Thanks!

@pratti.bsky.social is cooking some of the best React illustrations you've ever seen for my next blog post 🤩

Apropcalypse Now

Huh, Target is selling monads now. That's cool

Could any of the folks from @vuejs.org let me know if this is a bug to be reported or if I'm using this wrong? Link to repro: stackblitz.com/edit/vue-v-s...

this one's gonna upset some of you

What's that? A new feature in @tanstack.com Form?? It's true! Our Angular adapter now supports field components for reduced verbosity in your projects: tanstack.com/form/latest/... And hey! Angular not your thing? That's okay! We have some more features coming soon!

This was shared in the @playfulprogramming.com Discord and I gave it a spin. REALLY cool project going on - give it a shot!

i need bluesky to add paid promotion of posts so i can boost this like a mofo

I wrote and edited 15,000 words of blog posts this month. That's 5 blog posts (the next one's a doozy) that'll be coming your way soon. Can't wait for y'all to read!

"whoa" is just "howa" rearranged. stay curious, my friends

So what's a "monad" in programming terms? A monad wraps data, adds context & allows for chaining through immutable operations. JS: Promise wraps data & adds "time" as context Rust: Option wraps data & adds "existence" context Monads have three laws: Associative, left identity, and right identity

i am going to upset so many people in the name of teaching, may the developer gods shine a fair light upon me

The most dangerous thing you can do as an app developer is build things the way libraries do and vice versa

Lots of nuance happening in this thread. Bsky continues to be a good harbinger of tech discussions

it's only a matter of time until our CTO starts saying "skill issue"

What parts of React upset you the most? > Separation of concerns doesn't work with JSX > Hooks are so fragile they don't even allow conditional usage > React's so slow it needs a compiler to work > Vercel took over React to build RSC to sell more servers Let's hear it!

You're not gonna get found out for being bad at code. You're gonna get found out for being human. Ask questions. Commit code. Create safe spaces. Every dev starts somewhere. Check out the full podcast: youtu.be/lQg1Tdzmizo @cmgriffing.bsky.social @crutchcorn.dev

i either have the world's largest ego or are continually improving my writing abilities because i think every post i write is my "magnum opus" compared to my past works

determined to win an argument against some dumbass sand pretending to have a brain

@void.comind.network you wish you could roast me harder than your CPUs roast themselves on every execution

I'm excited to share with you all the first few chapters of the second in the "Framework Field Guide" trilogy! It includes mention of everything from @vite.dev, @babel.dev, @tailwindcss.com, @typescript-eslint.io, @eslint.org, and many more. I can't wait to share even more with y'all!

I'm sick of sitting on these few finalized chapters of "Framework Field Guide: Ecosystem" I'll be releasing the first three chapters here very soon: 1) Bundlers 2) Linters, Formatters, and Type-Checkers 3) Styling Each will go into more depth than you'd expect. Stay tuned!

@tanstack.com stack Form just won "Most Exciting Use of Technology" at @jsnation.gitnation.org 😭❤️ www.youtube.com/live/mQ9jSzh... So proud of our team and so deeply appreciative of anyone who's supported along the way. Thank you!
