For the past few months we’ve been building a simple jest/typescript-based high-level language for writing and running integration tests. We're open-sourcing it now and are excited to share it with you: https://github.com/traceloop/jest-opentelemetry Why we built this: - There are many solid frameworks for FE / browser testing, but none with high-level constructs for testing BE flows - We were missing a way to validate side effects for complex backend systems, especially across async queueing systems Our beta version lets you send an API call to a system and…

Hello HN! I'm the creator and solo developer of Extension.js, a development tool for browser extensions with built-in support for TypeScript, WebAssembly, React, and modern JavaScript. Developers use it to spend less time configuring the compilation config or learning new frameworks and more time actually writing code. Most projects similar to Extension.js rely on some sort of abstraction or configuration to get started, making the initial development process slow given the extra learning curve and setup guidelines. By using Extension.js, adding the package to your npm scripts is all it…

RedwoodJS▲203Hey everyone, I'm the original co-creator of RedwoodJS. (The framework that myself and Tom Preston-Werner, Rob Cameron and David Price built during Covid.) I had tried to build a developer tool startup (Snaplet), and failed. I rejoined the efforts to add RSC to Redwood, but I realized that we needed a much simpler framework that was closely tied to a platform (We chose Cloudflare). We started building RedwoodSDK a year ago and this is the result. An insanely simple stack. I am incredibly proud of this work, please star our repo and let me know if there's anything that doesn't resonate with…

Hey all, I've been working on this side project to get a Cypress.io-like experience, but for Ruby developers. It's plug-n-play with Capybara system tests, with the following features: - visualize assertions/commands as they happen - view all API requests, errors, and logs in the timeline - pause/continue on any step - rewind through history with a recorded video This is brand new, so looking for people to start trying it out and leave feedback.

We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No…
