Wrote about how our testing strategy evolved to include visual regression testing and how we can generate hundreds of tests in a handful of lines of code Spoiler: turns out high school math can be useful after all 😶‍🌫️ macarie.me/writing/when...

My first advice to junior contributors is to STOP using vibe coding for PRs. OSS is always about people more than about code. We don't need more code generated by LLM, we need more people who care.

⚡️Finally! The official statement! @vitest.dev is now the official #Angular #testing framework 💪

Vite 7.2 is out! ⚡️ 🗃️ `build.license` option 🔌 proxy + HTTP2 support 💜 and more features and fixes Don't forget to check the complete changelog at github.com/vitejs/vite/...

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉 By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥 V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

Tip: if you want an issue solved without doing the work yourself, don't use an accusatory tone when reporting it. And don't continue to do so when a response is provided pointing you in the direction to solve it.

We raised a $12.5M Series A round, led by Accel. In this next stage, VoidZero is accelerating development on both our open-source projects and Vite+, the unified JavaScript toolchain. This is only the beginning! → voidzero.dev/posts/announ...

My talk slides are available here hiroshi-talks.vercel.app/2025-10-25/1 also with source code in github.com/hi-ogawa/talks It was a great experience to talk with many awesome folks in person! Thanks @vuefes.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Potentially coming to a @vitest.dev browser mode report near you 👀 New view for visual regression testing failures with tabs for: - diff, reference, and actual screenshots - slider to compare reference vs actual (before/after style)

Watch Jessica Sachs explain and demonstrate Vitest Browser Mode, which tests components in an actual browser instead of headless tests. Full video in comments 👇

Vitest 4 is out! - Browser Mode is Stable - Visual Regression Testing - Improved Debugging - Pool Stabilization - New APIs - Bug Fixes Stay updated with our blog post: vitest.dev/blog/vitest-4

After maintaining Tinypool for over 2 years I'm happy to see next version of Vitest dropping it. I've written some reasoning about this in the linked PR. Even though this change is significant for Vitest, I'm more confident about it than making new changes in Tinypool. github.com/vitest-dev/v...

Vite+ will be free for individuals, OSS, & small businesses. We plan a flat fee for startups and custom pricing for enterprises. Our goal is to capture a portion of the value Vite+ creates at scale and reinvest it into the open source projects that power Vite+.

The Unified Toolchain for the Web We are thrilled to announce Vite+: A unified, Rust-powered toolchain and drop-in upgrade for @vite_js. Read the full vision and learn about our sustainable licensing model (free for individuals, OSS & small businesses). voidzero.dev/posts/announ...

you can sponsor @e18e.dev through GitHub Sponsors or OpenCollective these funds will primarily be used for two things: - distributed to projects/individuals in the wider JS community - development of community projects/tools thanks so much to those of you who already sponsor us 💙

Vitest vscode extension now displays your console.logs inline. An example of logging in browser mode:

What an excellent group 🙌 Best part of meetups and conferences @viteconf.org

Just talked about Vite+ at @viteconf.org - check out more at viteplus.dev :) More detailed announcement on Monday!

What's new in ViteLand? Our September 2025 recap is out 🤯 Up to 45% faster & smaller @rolldown.rs 💻 @vitest.dev Browser Mode updates ⚓️ Performance tweaks, rules & fixes for Oxlint 🎉 Oxlint Custom JavaScript Plugins prototype ✨ Updates from the Community 👀 and more voidzero.dev/posts/whats-...

read this. I was working on an extraordinarily similar post but jake's is much better.

we now have some new @e18e.dev docs on best practice of publishing npm packages this documents the recommended basics for a secure publish workflow and gives some pointers for further security/tools/etc this is a _very_ opinionated subject, so do ping me if you have feedback!

Vite: The Documentary is just ONE WEEK AWAY!! While you wait, have a read of this article from our friends at The New Stack, where @evanyou.me chats a little about Vite's evolution and where it's headed. thenewstack.io/how-vite-bec...

The next version of Browser Mode supports opening multiple headed browsers at the same time, because why not 🤷

Next version of Browser Mode now also support playwright's trace viewer natively. Just pass down `--browser.trace=on`: main.vitest.dev/guide/browse...

We are deprecating the `@vitest/browser/context` in the next version of Vitest in favor of `vitest/browser`. The provider is now also required for better type safety (providers are also moved to separate packages to improve the size and dependency graph of @vitest/browser)

imagine continuing to post on a site owned by a racist pedophile that everyone hates because tHat'S wHerE mY foLLOwErs aRE when you could be part of this instead. deeply embarrassing

Building performant tools doesn't happen by accident. They need a strong foundation! @rolldown.rs and @vite.dev 8 are powered by Oxc for that reason We've evaluated all previous PRs that went into the Oxidation compiler, 290 of them improving performance This is what foundational work looks like!

⚡ Speaker highlight: Matias "Patak" Capeletto, @vite.dev Core Team We are looking forward to have the one and only @patak.dev back on stage! If you've seen the last online ViteConfs or have been around in the community, there is no way you missed him. Get ready for some deep insights! 🧠

We are thinking about supporting Standard Schema in Vitest natively. What do you think? github.com/vitest-dev/v...

⚡ Speaker highlight: Jim Dummet, Core Team at Oxc As a JS Dev, every tool seems to be rewritten in Rust. But If our tools migrate to another language, will we be ale to customize them? Jim explains how Oxc plans to allow customization via JS plugins, all while maintaining exceptional performance!

⚡ Panel highlight: Future of Web Development This panel is a deep dive with creators and industry leaders to discuss the biggest trends, challenges, and opportunities in web dev. What do YOU want them to talk about? Drop your questions in the comments below make sure we cover what matters most!

What's new in ViteLand? Our August 2025 recap is out 👣 Big steps for Oxlint: Type-aware linting preview & custom JS plugins roadmap 🖼️ @vitest.dev has visual regression support in beta ⏩ Native plugins enabled by default in rolldown-vite 🤌 Smaller bundles due to @rolldown.rs and Oxc 👀 and more

I keep hearing stories from people who use agents to solve a dozen hard problems before breakfast and I just cannot reconcile it with my own experience. I have to conclude they are simply deluded? I'm sure from their perspective it's just a skill issue

Vitest 4 runs simple test files faster! You can already check it out by installing Vitest 4 beta. On average, Vitest now takes 25% less time to start the test. Due to parallelisation, the overall time difference can vary. We are focusing our efforts on improving the time even more in the next beta!

PLAID Moved to @rolldown.rs & Cut Build Times by 97% PLAID was using Rollup for server-side bundling, which could take up to 20s to complete each time! The team wanted to reduce wait times. Learn why the PLAID team migrated to Rolldown. voidzero.dev/posts/case-s...

⚡ Speaker highlight: Vladimir Sheremet, Core Maintainer of @vitest.dev The State of Vitest is a must-see! @erus.dev will give us the news on the most interesting testing framework, covering the latest features, performance boosts, and what's next for the @vite.dev powered testing experience

I’ve spent all season analyzing why @gamechangershow.bsky.social is the best of the best, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that talking to @samreich.bsky.social about it made everything click into place. My latest feature for @slashfilm.bsky.social. www.slashfilm.com/1937119/best...

Legendary use case for Claude Code I’ve just heard: “It managed to uninstall all Adobe products from my Mac by telling Claude Code to do this. Toon a bunch of tokens but was worth it.” (Iykyk)

Remember how @gitlab.com got 2.6x faster builds and ~100x less memory consumption when using @rolldown.rs? Now, with all the native plugins enabled, they are down to 22s. That is ~7x faster than Vite, ~half the time compared to using native resolver before and 43x faster than their webpack build 🔥

`oxlint --type-aware`. Mic drop. It's incomplete and have numerous problems, including a noticeable performance issue. BUT, you can finally see your floating promises quickly! Example PR: github.com/rolldown/rol... Problems: t.co/K7ZVnPjOPL
