Trending Projects is available as a weekly newsletter please sign up at www.iainfreestone.com to ensure you never miss an issue.

Following on from last week Responsively App, Node Best Practices, Algorithm Visulaizer, JS Algorithms and Real World continue to trend well so have been omitted from this post. See last weeks post for more details.

1. Snowpack

A faster build system for the modern web.

GitHub logo FredKSchott / snowpack

ESM-powered frontend build tool. Instant, lightweight, unbundled development. ✌️

Update (April 20, 2022): Snowpack is no longer actively maintained and is not recommended for new projects.

Check out Vite for a well-maintained Snowpack alternative.
See also: esbuild, parcel

Snowpack

Snowpack is a lightning-fast frontend build tool, designed to leverage JavaScript's native module system (known as ESM). It is an alternative to heavier, more complex bundlers like webpack or Parcel in your development workflow.

HTML5 Boilerplate is a professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.

This project is the product of over 10 years of iterative development and community knowledge. It does not impose a specific development philosophy or framework, so you're free to architect your code in the way that you want.

About This Repository

This repository is where HTML5-Boilerplate is authored. Some of the tools files and processes that you see here are solely for the production of HTML5 Boilerplate and are not part of HTML5 Boilerplate. For one example, the gulpfile.mjs script is used to build the project. It's not part of the project itself.

The project we publish is represented by the contents of the /dist/ folder. Everything else in this repository is used to author the project.

Think of it this way, in the same way that you…

4. Mostly Adequate guide to Functional JS

GitHub logo MostlyAdequate / mostly-adequate-guide

Mostly adequate guide to FP (in javascript)

cover

About this book

This is a book on the functional paradigm in general. We'll use the world's most popular functional programming language: JavaScript. Some may feel this is a poor choice as it's against the grain of the current culture which, at the moment, feels predominately imperative. However, I believe it is the best way to learn FP for several reasons:

  • You likely use it every day at work.

    This makes it possible to practice and apply your acquired knowledge each day on real world programs rather than pet projects on nights and weekends in an esoteric FP language.

  • We don't have to learn everything up front to start writing programs.

    In a pure functional language, you cannot log a variable or read a DOM node without using monads. Here we can cheat a little as we learn to purify our codebase. It's also easier to get started in this…

!!! Important! This repo has recently changed layout! !!!

Definitely Typed has recently changed to a proper pnpm monorepo; you may want to reread this document for changes to the layout of packages in this repo.

At the very least, you may want to git clean -fdx the repo (or node ./scripts/clean-node-modules.js on Windows) to clean up node_modules and run pnpm install --filter . to install the workspace root. See further sections for more info on pnpm install.

7. SWR

React Hooks library for remote data fetching

GitHub logo vercel / swr

React Hooks for Data Fetching

SWR


Introduction

SWR is a React Hooks library for data fetching.

The name “SWR” is derived from stale-while-revalidate, a cache invalidation strategy popularized by HTTP RFC 5861 SWR first returns the data from cache (stale), then sends the request (revalidate), and finally comes with the up-to-date data again.

With just one hook, you can significantly simplify the data fetching logic in your project. And it also covered in all aspects of speed, correctness, and stability to help you build better experiences:

  • Fast, lightweight and reusable data fetching
  • Transport and protocol agnostic
  • Built-in cache and request deduplication
  • Real-time experience
  • Revalidation on focus
  • Revalidation on network recovery
  • Polling
  • Pagination and scroll position recovery
  • SSR and SSG
  • Local mutation (Optimistic UI)
  • Built-in smart error retry
  • TypeScript
  • React Suspense
  • React Native

...and a lot more.

With SWR, components will get a stream of data updates constantly and automatically. Thus…

Solid is a declarative JavaScript library for creating user interfaces. Instead of using a Virtual DOM, it compiles its templates to real DOM nodes and updates them with fine-grained reactions. Declare your state and use it throughout your app, and when a piece of state changes, only the code that depends on it will rerun.

At a Glance

import { createSignal } from "solid-js";
import { render } from "solid-js/web";
function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
  const doubleCount = () => count() * 2;
  
  console.log("The body of the function runs once...");

  return (

9. Machine Learning Systems Design

A booklet on machine learning systems design with exercises

GitHub logo chiphuyen / machine-learning-systems-design

A booklet on machine learning systems design with exercises. NOT the repo for the book "Designing Machine Learning Systems"

Machine Learning Systems Design

Read this booklet here.

This booklet was my initial attempt to write about machine learning systems design back in 2019. My understanding of the topic has gone through significant iterations since then. My book Designing Machine Learning Systems (O'Reilly, June 2022) is much more comprehensive and up-to-date. The new book's repo contains the full table of contents, chapter summaries, and random thoughts on MLOps tooling.

This booklet covers four main steps of designing a machine learning system:

  1. Project setup
  2. Data pipeline
  3. Modeling: selecting, training, and debugging
  4. Serving: testing, deploying, and maintaining

It comes with links to practical resources that explain each aspect in more details. It also suggests case studies written by machine learning engineers at major tech companies who have deployed machine learning systems to solve real-world problems.

At the end, the booklet contains 27 open-ended machine learning systems design questions that might come…
