Products that do what Legend-State 1.0 – The fastest React state library does
After almost a year of development and iterating, we just released Legend-State 1.0. It's the fastest React state library and is very easy to use, based on Observables (Signals) with fine-grained reactivity and built-in persistence. I'd love to know what you think, and I'm also happy to answer any general JavaScript performance questions if you want since I've gone very deep into optimizing . https://github.com/LegendApp/legend-state

Hey everyone! Some time ago I was analyzing why React apps are so hard to optimize, and came to a conclusion that the lack of atomic updates is the culprit. I made an experimental library which basically updates everything in place directly in HTML. At some point I became aware that Solidjs exists, which is a very similar idea, but at the end of the day I realized my approach to API is quite different and warrants the existence of my library (my state primitive allows selector subscriptions, array iterators return a state primitive with the element, allowing to never re-render the whole…

Hey HN, We just released v5 of LemonadeJS, a micro-reactive library (~5.5KB compressed, no dependencies) that brings reactivity, scoped state, and JSX support to browser-native JavaScript. Key Features in v5: - Private reactive state for components - Scoped events for modularity - JSX support (via a Babel plugin) - children argument for nested components - Template literal interpolation - Improved DOM rendering performance Use it with plain JS, TypeScript, or JSX — no build step required. Ideal for browser tools, widgets, or building fast UIs without bundlers.…

Most you you will probably be familiar with react-motion and Facebooks animated (react-natives default). Both are practically go-to solutions in their respective fields, but do leave a lot to be desired. Animated interpolates everything and is fast, but misses essential primitives and can be troublesome to use due to its imperative nature. React-motion is declarative but can't interpolate and performs slower. After switching between the two for about a year i've decided to pick up where the two have left off: So this is react-spring: https://github.com/drcmda/react-spring…

We saw that the existing solutions have a learning curve and restrictions. So we thought to assemble one that can make things easy. Let me know your thoughts on this.
