HTMX 4.0 replaces XHR with the Fetch API, enhancing performance and developer experience in web development.
Dhruv Amin stated, 'We built a mobile app primarily to let our users who are building iOS apps preview their own app on their own device while developing it. [We] had no problems through December. Post December, we and everyone else in the category started getting our updates blocked.'
React Native v0.85 introduces a new Shared Animation backend, enhancing the animation capabilities of applications. Upcoming features like <ViewTransition> and Skia Graphite promise to further improve user experiences.
Events are essential inputs to modern front-end systems. But when we mistake reactions for architecture, complexity quietly multiplies. Over time, many front-end architectures have come to resemble chains of reactions rather than models of structure. The result is systems that are expressive, but increasingly difficult to reason about.
Running multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel allows for independent contexts and memory, enabling users to work on different projects without interference. Boris Cherny typically runs five sessions at once, using numbered tabs and system notifications to stay organized.
Modern web applications are no longer just "sites." They are long-lived, highly interactive systems that span multiple runtimes, global content delivery networks, edge caches, background workers, and increasingly complex data pipelines. They are expected to load instantly, remain responsive under poor network conditions, and degrade gracefully when something goes wrong.
React tutorial: Get started with the React libraryDespite the endless churn of new frameworks, React remains the quintessential reactive engine. This updated guide walks you through the fundamentals of React development, including a This is Spinal Tap variant on the canonical counter application. Sometimes, your components just need to go to 11.
The web is full of AI assistants that appear to understand application UIs, user data, and intent. In practice, however, most of these systems operate outside the application itself. When you try to build one from scratch, you quickly run into a core limitation: large language models have no native understanding of your React state, component hierarchy, or business logic.
Over the past decade, software development has undergone a massive transformation due to continuous innovations in tools, processors and novel architectures. In the past, most applications were monoliths and then shifted to microservices, and now we find ourselves embracing composability - a paradigm that prioritizes modular, reusable, and flexible software design. Instead of writing separate, tightly coupled applications, developers now compose software using reusable business capabilities that can be plugged into multiple projects. This enables greater scalability, maintainability, and collaboration across teams and organizations. At the heart of this movement is Bit Harmony, a framework designed to make composability a first-class citizen in modern web development.
