We built Glue4 to scratch our own itch: whenever we start building an app, there’s all these different layers that need to be pieced together with subtle gotchas (auth, backend, DB, where to host, etc). The vast majority of the apps we build don’t really need anything beyond state persistence and authentication. And that’s what Glue4 abstracts away: having to host our own backend, pick our own DB, figure out the querying language/ORM and then host & maintain them all somewhere “in the cloud”. All you need to do is run a single npm install command and you get Auth + state persistence in…

I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

Hi! I made a React compatibility library for a Virtual DOM library (https://github.com/aidenybai/million). The idea is to have much faster rendering (a compiler optimizes virtual DOM beforehand) while ensuring the same developer experience React provides. This is very, VERY early stage, so be prepared for weird bugs / plugin incompatibility / etc. If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy if you replied in a comment with it! You can spin up the demo here >> https://stackblitz.com/github/aidenybai/million-react-compat
