Products that do what Live-paint (powered by ts-liveview) does
live-paint (https://paint.liveviews.cc/) is a demonstration of ts-liveview v2-rc3. The server converts JSX expression into plain HTML response. The UI is then updated via websocket. As opposite to React.js. The DOM updates are fired from server, and instructed with query selector (no virtual DOM). Hence, the amount of javascript downloaded and executed by client are minimal (or even optional for static web pages).

LiveCoder is a fun tool I built almost a year ago to simulate live coding Frontend technologies for my presentations. You actually don't have to live-code, but just prepare beforehand the program, snippets of HTML, CSS and Javascript and you feed the tool with it, so you can just focus on explaining what's being coded. Simple :-) I never really shared this tool, but I used it in a few presentations quite succesfully, so I think it could be an interesting tool to use. You have full control of the speed. You can pause and resume... An entire app can be live-coded with this. It's quite fun to…

We built a browser extension (Chrome + Firefox) that captures the runtime DOM and exports it as JSON. Not the pre-render source (HTML/CSS/JS, templates, bundles) and not a screenshot — but the live, post-render state the browser is actually displaying: - visibility/hidden, disabled/required - current input values and validation/validationMessage - dataset attributes - trimmed text - stable selector paths Why: LLMs often miss or guess UI state. Screenshots are too opaque, pre-render source is too noisy. A structured snapshot gives reproducible context for debugging…

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…
