Effect UI – PoC of a reactive UI framework built with Effect
Hi HN, I'm Mathieu and two days ago I ran into a YouTube video about Effect ("a powerful TypeScript framework that provides a fully-fledged functional effect system with a rich standard library"). This made me so exited that I wanted to build something with it and this is the result! Effect UI - A reactive UI framework completely build with Effect. Reactive properties are SubscriptionRefs which make fine-grained reactivity possible (like in SolidJS, no re-renders like in React). Components are just Effects, which makes dependency injection of themes, clients and stores possible by using…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I'm Mathieu and two days ago I ran into a YouTube video about Effect ("a powerful TypeScript framework that provides a fully-fledged functional effect system with a rich standard library"). This made me so exited that I wanted to build something with it and this is the result! Effect UI - A reactive UI framework completely build with Effect. Reactive properties are SubscriptionRefs which make fine-grained reactivity possible (like in SolidJS, no re-renders like in React). Components are just Effects, which makes dependency injection of themes, clients and stores possible by using Contexts. It is just a proof of concept, but I think it's pretty cool! Let me know what you think or how I can improve it, since I'm definitely not yet an Effect expert. You can see a basic demo on my Twitter/X profile: https://x.com/m9tdev/status/1938148717158076811

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
