In this post we going to introduce our top 5 pick of the month, consist of frameworks, databases, open source backends and more.
I like to introduce you with PocketBase an open-source SQLite powered backend, with realtime subscriptions & built-in auth management and if that is not already exciting enough, their Javascript SDK gives you everything needed to build a serious application, and amazingly, can be deployed as a single binary to any $5 server.
Please keep in mind that PocketBase is still under active development and full backward compatibility is not guaranteed before reaching v1.0.0., but I would keep an eye of it for sure.
if you like Deno javascript/typescript runtime, then you’ll fall for Deno Fresh a full stack web framework that send zero js to client and can potentially gain 5x faster page load speeds.
HTMX a library aiming to bring back the shiny days of Hypermedia-Driven Applications in a world that SPAs are conquering. Looks simple and elegant. There's a really good book ( Online version is free to read ) which talk about Hypermedia Systems I recommend reading it as it open your eyes on topics like Hypermedia that less discussed within the Web Development industry.
EdgeDB is an open-source database designed to address ergonomic limitations of SQL and relational modeling, without sacrificing type safety or performance and looks really interesting, specially how easy and powerful is the Schema definition language, more than anything loved the computed properties, computed links and Backlinks.
And to wrap things up, I like to introduce you with Wrap! a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster. Now available on MacOS and Linux.
After using Wrap, I don't think I ever back to iTerm.
