Data-driven explainers for npm trends, package comparisons, bundle optimization, maintenance risk, and developer-tooling decisions.
One PDF: the best package for every category (ORMs, bundlers, auth, testing, state management). Used by 500+ devs. Free, updated monthly.
Recoil is effectively abandoned by Meta. Jotai is the maintained, lighter alternative with a nearly identical API. Full comparison of atomic state models.
Remix and SvelteKit are both excellent full-stack frameworks, but with different philosophies. Compare downloads, DX, performance, bundle size, and deployment.
How full-stack TypeScript went from fringe to default from 2020 to 2026 — tRPC, Drizzle, Server Actions, and why shared types changed everything in the stack.
Rust-based JavaScript tools dominate 2026: SWC, Rspack, Biome, Oxc, and Turbopack. Why Rust won the JS tooling performance war and what it means for developers.
Why zero-dependency npm packages are growing in 2026 — supply chain security, smaller bundles, and how the best modern libraries are achieving more with less.
Vite uses Rollup under the hood for production builds. When should you use Rollup directly instead of Vite? Compare use cases, configuration, and tradeoffs.
Rspack claims 10x faster webpack drop-in replacement. Compared in 2026: compatibility, performance benchmarks, migration effort, and Module Federation support.
Rspack 1.0 is 23x faster than webpack in benchmarks. Real-world migration from Mews (80% faster), ByteDance, and Discord show how the drop-in replacement works.
npm security vulnerability data by category in 2026: which categories have the most CVEs, what types of vulnerabilities occur, and mitigation strategies.
Compare shadcn/ui, Park UI, and Melt UI for React and Svelte. Copy-paste components vs headless primitives. Which UI library fits your design system needs?
shadcn/ui, Park UI, and Melt UI compared for headless and styled component libraries in 2026. Copy-paste vs npm packages, React vs Svelte vs multi-framework.
Sharp is 40x faster than Jimp using native libvips. Jimp is pure JS with zero native deps. Compare them for Node.js image processing and thumbnail generation.
Sharp vs Jimp vs Squoosh for Node.js image processing in 2026. Performance benchmarks, WebP/AVIF conversion, format support, and which image library to use.
The best npm packages under 5KB gzipped in 2026. Zero-dependency utilities, tiny alternatives to bloated libraries, and how to check bundle size before you.
Both ditch the Virtual DOM. Solid.js uses signals with JSX. Svelte 5 uses runes with templates. We compare performance, DX, and ecosystem for 2026 now.
CSS-in-JS libraries like styled-components and Emotion are losing ground in 2026. What's replacing them? Tailwind, Panda CSS, CSS Modules, and the now.
