UltimateExpress – 5x faster HTTP server with full Express compatibility

For the past few weeks I've been working on Ultimate Express - https://github.com/dimdenGD/ultimate-express It's complete reimplementation of Express, with support for all APIs, except built on top of uWebSockets. It's the only library that fully implements Express' API while using uWS. It's about 5 times faster than Express. Please check Github for more benchmark info. I have started replacing Express with this library in my projects and performance improved by 1.5-4 times depending on route. In 1 case file serving throughput increased from 230 MB/sec to 800…

    I made React with a faster Virtual DOM2022 · ▲109

    Hi! I made a React compatibility library for a Virtual DOM library (https://github.com/aidenybai/million). The idea is to have much faster rendering (a compiler optimizes virtual DOM beforehand) while ensuring the same developer experience React provides. This is very, VERY early stage, so be prepared for weird bugs / plugin incompatibility / etc. If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy if you replied in a comment with it! You can spin up the demo here >> https://stackblitz.com/github/aidenybai/million-react-compat

    UniFi gateways (UDM Pro/SE/Pro Max/Beast/EFG) ship with notoriously underpowered CPUs and has no hardware acceleration for PPPoE. Paired with a PPPoE-based ISP connection, the performance is dismal. So why not hand the PPPoE dialing off to a dedicated device and let the UniFi gateway focus on routin

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
