Intl.DisplayNames
An ECMAScript Internationalization API Feature that currently is in Stage-3 and that has already landed in V8 version 8.1 is Intl.DisplayNames. It’s a way to get localized display names for languages, scripts, regions and others. The idea is that you as a developer should not build your own list of localized strings for languages, regions, …

A common misconception about React is that you need to set up an entire toolchain to get started with it. While that might have been true in the past, that certainly isn’t the case today. From the React Docs: The majority of websites aren’t, and don’t need to be, single-page apps. With a few lines …

Some notes: Great to see that Vue grew out of a personal need, not a plan to make money. Those projects always win. It requires one to invest a lot of personal time and effort into their projects … remember that, before you start complaining about something in a repository (or in a blog’s comment …

esbuild – An extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier
Interesting work by Evan Wallace, a JS bundler/minifier written in Go. Since it compiles down to native code, it’s fast: My main benchmark approximates a large codebase by duplicating the three.js library 10 times and building a single bundle from scratch, without any caches. For this benchmark, esbuild is 10-100x faster than the other JavaScript …

If you have a public repository with a Dockerfile you can have users automatically deploy the container to Google Cloud Run by adding a Cloud Run Button. It’s no more than an image that links to https://deploy.cloud.run, like so: [](https://deploy.cloud.run) Add that code to your README.md and when a visitor follows that …
React Query provides you with a set of hooks to fetch data in React. Think of pages that use pagination, infinite scroll, auto-refetching, etc. It’s backend agnostic, so sources can be REST, GraphQL, etc. Here’s an example that uses pagination import React from 'react' import fetch from '../libs/fetch' import { usePaginatedQuery } from 'react-query' export …

Dave Rupert: I’ve always abided in the idea that “HTML is accessible by default and then we come along and mess it up. But that’s not always the case. There are some cases where even using plain ol’ HTML causes accessibility problems. I’m going to start rounding up those HTML shortfalls in this here post …
