![]() Happy Fourth of July to those who celebrate and happy July 4th to those who don’t. This week, we’ve got our special Bytes Cocktail recipe, our class action lawsuit Airbnb developers, and a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down. Welcome to #107.
Another framework??? There’s a new Fresh PrinceNo, I’m not talking about the new TV series reboot that nobody asked for. I’m talking about Fresh — the new fullstack SSR framework…that nobody asked for. Fresh was created by the Deno team (who raised a very fresh $21 million last month), and they just released a stable v1.0 of the framework last week. It’s built on top of Deno, and describes itself as a combo of “a routing framework and templating engine that renders pages on demand, on the server” using Preact and JSX. So it’s basically Remix and Next.js and Astro and Hydrogen and RedwoodJS… but for Deno? Well yes, but actually no. Fresh borrows a lot of features and concepts from those other frameworks, but it combines them in a unique way while adding some cool new features of its own — thanks to a healthy serving of magic Deno dust. Let’s zoom in:
Bottom Line: Ultimately, Fresh wants to make it super simple for you to use Deno and Deno Deploy™ to deploy your apps to the edge, so that you can easily build cool stuff and so that your company will eventually pay them lots of money. And so far, they seem to be doing a good job.
When you build your own chat app from scratch [sponsored] Stream is the smartest way to build chat appsBuilding a chat app from scratch in 2022 is like trying to make Pop-Tarts from scratch — overly complex and completely unnecessary thanks to glorious technology. That’s because most developers just use Stream It’s the #1 chat-messaging and activity feed platform in the world — because it handles all of the mess that comes with building chat apps for you. bUt WilL iT SCaLe? Don’t ask me, ask Match.com — they use Stream to let their 22 million members send each other heartfelt messages like, “You up?” every single CodePen, Imgur, SoundCloud and a bunch of other companies have built apps with Stream too. Chances are, you’ve already used Stream as a user without even realizing it 🤯. Check out the free trial and I guarantee you’ll be shocked by how straightforward (and flexible) the API is.
Happy birthday, old boy ESLint is still going strongThe OG JavaScript linter just turned 9 years old last week, which is roughly 63 in JS years (yes, that’s the same as dog years… feels right). That’s a pretty impressive run for a tool that literally everyone uses. Like any good doggo, ESLint might be a little overbearing at times, but its heart is always in the right place. So let’s break out a new jar of peanut butter (down boy) and pay some respect to the Lint King. How we got here: ESLint was created by Nicholas Zakas to A big reason that it’s stayed so popular for so long is because of how easy it is to configure and create plugins for. In many ways, ESLint is responsible for kickstarting the JavaScript tooling revolution that’s still rolling today. Here’s how it works under the hood:
Bottom Line: There’s no denying that ESLint has made all of our lives exponentially better. However, if you’ve been emotionally scarred by the Airbnb ESLint config, you may be entitled to compensation! Tweet using the hashtag #AirbnbESLintPain to join our class-action lawsuit today.
