My prediction: modern UI is about to look far more cyberpunk/sci-fi than ever before. Think Iron Man's JARVIS HUD: hyper-fast, dark screens with high-contrast colour, rich audio, motion graphics etc. With AI handling most commands without manual input, the input side will get simpler, but the output will become richer to support human-in-the-loop feedback. Keeping pace with the AI will be a defining factor. Previously, input was key; now output will be. That means more expressive sounds and visuals. Basic dropdowns and input fields will soon look like relics of the Stone Age. It makes me wonder whether our popular approaches to building UI can meet this need unless they evolve very quickly in performance and capability. The barriers to composing these systems are certainly falling, but which UI tools are powerful enough to deliver high-fidelity modern UI? Is the DOM-driven model even the right one? Is JavaScript's JIT model performant enough? Will we go back to native out of necessity (probably WASM)? If you've been reading about this recently, please share. I'd love to keep up with the conversation on this future-UI topic. Anything that's discussing practical tooling for near and far-future UI.

Tailscale is a Toronto company that just quietly became the connectivity layer half of Silicon Valley's AI teams depend on, with no big launch behind it. Business customers doubled to 40,000 since November, almost entirely from engineers telling other engineers it just works. No funding round. No press tour. CEO Avery Pennarun called it overdone Canadian modesty, and that line hit closer than I expected. I build payment infrastructure for a living, and I know that instinct well, ship the reliable thing and let it speak for itself, then wonder why nobody outside the industry knows your name. Is that humility or just bad marketing?

I've finally been able to put all frontend solutions on the same grid by recognizing them as a product of 2 axes and 3 core responsibilities. HTMX, LiveView, RSCs, islands, SPAs, Sync Engines... None express what another can't. They differ in efficiency and ergonomics. 👇

Holy shit! 🇨🇦

Now we are possibly the first cross-platform UI framework for smart watches 😎 @RyanCarniato have you ever imagined SolidJS running on a watch?

The final part of @RyanCarniato's deep dive into Solid 2.0's async model: server functions, live streams, and streaming SSR. One reactive graph, spanning two machines: solidjs.com/blog/async-solid…

langflow. bun. ant-design. nuxt. vue. mermaid. pnpm. trpc. Over 600,000 GitHub stars between them, and CodeRabbit reviews it all, for free. Next stop: more than $10M into OSS over the next year, counted at what it costs us. Heres the how and why 👇 coderabbit.ai/blog/coderabbi…

Sitting at my office desk staring at Lake America right now and shaking my ahead. TBH we don't care what you call it, no one is calling it that. lol

Formisch v1 is here. 🎁 A schema-first form library for 8 frameworks: React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Angular, Qwik, Preact & React Native. ✅ One Valibot schema = types + validation ✅ Native performance across all 8 frameworks ✅ Headless — works with your existing UI ✅ Bundle size starts at just 2.5 kB After a lot of work, Formisch is officially stable. formisch.dev/blog/formisch-v…

Solid Primitives 2 gets a website glow up! 🥳🎉 We're still working on the graphics and design but it's coming along. This release comes packed with new primitives, tighter Solid 2.0 integration and demos for each package. primitives2.solidjs.communit…

Check out this in-depth look by @RyanCarniato at what makes Solid 2.0's async approach uniquely powerful. Part 1 of 3. solidjs.com/blog/async-solid…

Solid 2.0 🙌 Great work @RyanCarniato et al. Congrats to everyone involved.

With the release of the @solid_js RC I wrote up a post on why I think you should care even in the AI age brenelz.com/posts/innovation…

🚨 Solid 2.0 has reached Release Candidate! 🎉🥳 Async is first-class — computations return promises, the graph suspends and resumes itself. Plus optimistic mutations and a reactive core rebuilt from scratch. The Big <Reveal> 👇 solidjs.com/blog/solid-2-0-r… 1/3

A full agentic office suite! And it’s built with @solid_js!

Exciting news today as we went live with SolidStart 2.0 stable! This release is a stable foundation for v1 of Solid. We know you are excited for Solid v2, and we will have some exciting news coming in a few weeks. github.com/solidjs/solid-sta…

I'm late on my quarterly ERP rant, so here it is... For the love of god someone please disrupt the *whole* ERP industry. It's ripe for change. Don't make me spend the next few years of my life tackling this problem, it doesn't look like fun :p Ps. if you wanna fund me tho :p

@solid_js Start dev is moving fast

I literally forgot about the Go function fmt.Sprintf() today and it took like 30 seconds to recall. That's a bad sign. lol

Published! You can access the new primitives under the next dist-tag. Expect bugs as this is a *very early* release. You can also access the documentation (with demos) at primitives2.solidjs.communit…
