24 alternatives to Interact Javascript Library
Hey Guys, Would love some feedback on a javascript library that I am working on. It's designed to ease the pain with implementing touch support (and maintaining mouse support also) when implementing interactive web apps / demos. http://sidelab.github.com/interact/ I'm basically re-implementing (and improving in the process) the interaction handling I had built in Tile5 (HTML5 Mapping Library). For this reason, it has a slant towards interfaces that make use of panning and zoom, but you can definitely build applications that don't need these features. Thanks, Damon.

Once UI 1.5▲299When I started my career and built my first design system, I was beyond excited. It took a lot of iterations, learning and 6 months of work to launch it internally. In the next job, I did it again, then at the following job, again… And no matter which company I worked for, 80% of the design system was the same. I’ve decided to work full-time on the design system I’ve always wanted, and today I’m launching and open-sourcing it. You can use it to build Next.js apps faster, and I’ve designed it in a way that it’s hard to go wrong with it: you can choose any settings, and you’ll end up with a…

I've been building a web UI library for a side project of mine. I thought it might be useful to others, so I'm releasing it as open source. To put it simply, I realized that most of my pain points with React come from its declarative model ui=f(state). So I'm trying something that I'm calling "imperative JSX." Instead of treating JSX as the source of truth for your UI, it essentially becomes a query interface for DOM manipulation. I first had the idea for it a few months ago, and only began writing it in earnest last week, so it's extremely early and nowhere near production-ready. Still, I'd…
