Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a single-click. JavaScript functions can be created within the editor using a rich text editor. A built-in library allows you to save useful functions, templates or flows for re-use. The light-weight runtime is built on Node.js, taking full advantage of its event-driven, non-blocking model. This makes it ideal to run at the edge of the network on low-cost hardware such as the Raspberry Pi as well as in the cloud. -

Inferno
React-like JavaScript library for building modern user interfaces
Inferno is an insanely fast, React-like library for building high-performance user interfaces on both the client and server. React-like API, concepts and component lifecycle events. Switch over easily with inferno-compat. One of the fastest front-end frameworks for rendering UI in the DOM, making 60 FPS on mobile possible. Isomorphic rendering on both client and server, along with fast-booting from server-side renders. Inferno doesn't have a fully synthetic event system like React does. Inferno has a partially synthetic event system, instead opting to only delegate certain events (such as `onClick`). Inferno doesn't support React Native. Inferno was only designed for the browser/server with the DOM in mind. Inferno doesn't support legacy string refs, use `createRef` or callback `ref` API. Inferno provides lifecycle events on functional components. This is a major win for people who prefer lightweight components rather than ES2015 classes. -

PWA
(WIP) Universal PWA Builder
PWA is a “universal, framework-agnostic PWA builder” developed by Luke Edwards (lukeed) that aims to let developers scaffold progressive web apps with minimal friction across different view frameworks or libraries. Unlike many CLI tools that target a specific framework (React, Vue, Svelte), this project intentionally tries to remain agnostic, supporting presets for Preact, React, Vue, Svelte and even vanilla JS, while offering all the PWA boilerplate you need (service workers, manifest, offline support) right out of the box. The project is designed for speed of setup: you run pwa init, choose your preset, then pwa build or pwa watch and you get a production-ready bundle with PWA features baked in. The README emphasizes that modern bundlers (Webpack, Rollup) and ecosystem maturity finally allow a universal CLI of this kind, whereas earlier attempts weren’t practical. -

Brunch
Web applications made easy
Brunch lets you focus on what matters most, solving real problems instead of messing around with the glue. By being opinionated about your build pipeline, Brunch is able to provide a smooth and fast experience, and makes your config files take a drastic cut. It doesn't take much to get around with brunch. 'brunch new' to create a new project. 'brunch build' to build. 'brunch watch' to live-compile. Installation is one-line, once you have node.js. You will find that the typical config of a Brunch application is an order of magnitude simpler, compared to Webpack, Grunt, or Gulp. Besides configs, brunch is also simpler in terms of commands. Grunt / Gulp commands replicate all plugins it loads. Brunch always has three commands: new, build and watch. Build / watch commands may receive optional production flag which will tell Brunch to optimize assets, javascripts and stylesheets. -

V Programming Language
Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing software
Simple language for building maintainable programs. You can learn the entire language by going through the documentation over a weekend, and in most cases, there's only one way to do something. This results in simple, readable, and maintainable code. Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. V avoids doing unnecessary allocations in the first place by using value types, and string buffers, promoting a simple abstraction-free code style. Most objects (~90-100%) are freed by V's auto-free engine: the compiler inserts necessary free calls automatically during compilation. A remaining small percentage of objects is freed via GC. The developer doesn't need to change anything in their code. "It just works", like in Python, Go, or Java, except there's no heavy GC tracing everything or expensive RC for each object. -

nivo
A rich set of dataviz components
nivo provides a rich set of dataviz components, built on top of the awesome d3 and Reactjs libraries. Several libraries already exist for React d3 integration, but just a few provide server side rendering ability and fully declarative charts. In order to use nivo, you have to install the @nivo/core package and then choose some of the scoped @nivo packages according to the charts you wish to use. Given an array of data series having an id and a nested array of points (with x, y properties), it will compute the line for each data series. All datum having null x or y will be treated as holes, thus portions of the corresponding line will be skipped. You can fully customize it using the circleComponent property to define your own, if you wish to do so you should have a look at the default SVG component to get started. Bar chart which can display multiple data series, stacked or side by side. Also supports both vertical and horizontal layout, with negative values descending below the x axis. -

Essential React
A minimal skeleton for building testable React apps using Babel
A minimal skeleton for building testable React apps using Babel. The design goals are to use fewer tools (no yeoman, gulp, bower, etc...) Babel 6 with Webpack and Hot Loader. Fast testing with mocked-out DOM. Import CSS files as class names. Separate smart and dumb components. No specific implementation of Flux or data fetching patterns. A core philosophy of this skeleton app is to keep the tooling to a minimum. For this reason, you can find all the commands in the scripts section of package.json. This leverages React Hot Loader to automatically start a local dev server and refresh file changes on the fly without reloading the page. It also automatically includes source maps, allowing you to browse code and set breakpoints on the original ES6 code. Build minified app for production using the production shortcut. -
23
Ramda
A practical functional library for JavaScript programmers
Ramda is a practical functional library for JavaScript programmers. There are already several excellent libraries with a functional flavor. Typically, they are meant to be general-purpose toolkits, suitable for working in multiple paradigms. Ramda has a more focused goal. We wanted a library designed specifically for a functional programming style, one that makes it easy to create functional pipelines, one that never mutates user data. The primary distinguishing features of Ramda are: Ramda emphasizes a purer functional style. Immutability and side-effect free functions are at the heart of its design philosophy. This can help you get the job done with simple, elegant code. Ramda functions are automatically curried. This allows you to easily build up new functions from old ones simply by not supplying the final parameters. The parameters to Ramda functions are arranged to make it convenient for currying. The data to be operated on is generally supplied last. -
24
Relay
JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications
Relay is data-fetching turned declarative. Components declare their data dependencies, without worrying about how to fetch them. Relay guarantees that the data each component needs is fetched and available. This keeps components decoupled and promotes reuse. With Relay, components and their data dependencies can be quickly modified without modifying other parts of the system. That means you won't accidentally break other components as you refactor or make changes to your app. Relay's compiler aggregates and optimizes the data requirements for your entire app, so that they can be efficiently fetched in a single GraphQL request. Relay handles the heavy lifting to ensure the data declared by your components is fetched in the most efficient way. For example, by deduplicating identical fields, and precomputing information used at runtime, among other optimizations. Relay also supports executing GraphQL Mutations, optionally with optimistic updates, and updates to local data. -

secure-electron-template
The best way to build Electron apps with security in mind
A current electron app template with the most popular frameworks, designed and built with security in mind. Once cloned, install the dependencies for the repo by running the following commands (you do not have to run the first command if your command line is already inside the newly cloned repository) Only load secure content (But the developer is responsible for loading secure assets only) Do not enable node.js integration for the remote content. Enable context isolation for the remote content. Handle session permission requests from remote content. Do not disable web security. Define a content security policy. Do not set allowRunningInsecureContent to true. Do not enable experimental features. Do not use enableBlinkFeatures. Do not use allow popups. <webview> verify options and params. Disable or limit navigation. Disable or limit creation of new windows. Do not use openExternal with untrusted content. Disable remote module.
