Well then check out "prerender until script"—a new option we're testing for the Speculation Rules API now available for you to test on your site with an origin trial! developer.chrome.com/blog/prerend...

- Reposted by Jason Millerpnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it. A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

- Reposted by Jason MillerOxlint is making a huge step forward! Two new updates: JS custom rules, with ESLint compatible API are on the way. The first prototype gives a good speedup already! 🔥 Type-aware rules. Full coverage no-floating-promise through tsgolint, integrated like the other oxlint rules and extremely fast.

- Reposted by Jason MillerSpent 7 years in the GraphQL ecosystem. Here's what we got wrong: ❌ POST'ing documents as default ❌ Selling "versionless" APIs as realistic ❌ Ignoring HTTP caching entirely ❌ Making it complex for beginners ✅ The tech is solid. The guidance needs work. www.jovidecroock.com/blog/graphql...

- Shopify Polaris is now built on web components. My team and I have been working on this for a while and it's been a lot of fun to "embrace the platform"! shopify.dev/beta/next-ge... Lots of things learned, lots of fun edge cases discovered (hello moving web components to iFrames in Firefox)

- Reposted by Jason MillerNPM downloads of course signify very little and are heavily inflated by CIs and scrapers, but... it looks like Preact has exceeded 6m downloads per week which is pretty neat: npmtrends.com/preact
- Reposted by Jason MillerAt Preact we love real-browser testing, our whole test suite ran in karma for the last few years. Recently we switched over to @vitest.dev and we absolutely love it, we love it so much that we published vitest-browser-preact. It's a library that contains tools to test Preact in vitest browser mode.
- Reposted by Jason MillerIntroducing @preact/signals-utils and @preact/signals-react-utils - a collection of helpers that make working with signals easier! These utilities help you write cleaner, more declarative code while maintaining optimal performance.
- Reposted by Jason MillerLet me also take this opportunity with Preact being a hot-topic now that I write about Preact topics on my blog! If you want to know more about the new diffing algorithm, you can look at the source code and read a few of my articles!
- Reposted by Jason MillerThis, we need more kindness around these ‘tribes’. All of us working on these tools put a lot of time and love in it, all of us have our reasons to prefer working with x or y. Let’s be accepting of that!
- Reposted by Jason MillerOne thing I'm really thankful for in the Preact ecosystem is that we don't have a bunch of folks saying things like "why aren't you using Preact?" every. single. time. another framework is mentioned, it adds nothing and only bums everyone out. OSS authors shouldn't have to defend their choices.
- I am working in something *very* wild for Preact, which I believe will be a complete game changer. Actually right now I'm on vacation BUT when I get back I will continue working on this *very* wild thing. 6 year old idea but the last 2 years of Preact features make it infinitely better.
- Reposted by Jason MillerThe Chrome DevTools Performance panel just leveled up! 🚀 Here's a 69-second taste of the new hotness.
