I made a tool that makes React faster automatically

In brief: I'm Aiden, 18, and have spent the past 2 years of high school working on Million.js, an open source React alternative with 11K stars on GitHub and hundreds of thousands of npm downloads. Recently, I released automatic mode, which detects slow React components and automatically optimizes the reconciliation phase. It's still in beta but chugging along. It's around 70% faster than React on the JS Framework Benchmark and you can see how I did it here: https://million.dev/blog/virtual-dom Interested? Check it out here: https://million.dev

Alternatives

In plain words

Million.js is an open source React alternative that automatically optimizes slow components to improve performance. It includes an automatic mode that detects performance bottlenecks and optimizes the reconciliation phase without requiring manual intervention. The tool is designed for developers building React applications who want faster performance with minimal code changes. It is currently in beta and has accumulated significant usage through npm downloads.

LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time▲854
Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
