URQL has a really cool approach to fetching data on the server, namely using Suspense with a prepass-step. With react-lightyear, you can avoid that extra prepass and instead do a single asynchronous render, today I finally finished up an example. github.com/Ephem/react-light…

This is what we've been working on for the last few months. It's a new event system for React that is a complete departure from how events on handled today in React, or the DOM for that matter. The aim is to have a unified, declarative event system that works cross platform.

Microfrontends are back in the discourse, and that’s cool because League of Legends has had microfrontends in production for a couple of years! Let’s talk about hopes and dreams and harsh, cold reality 🧵

Good news we're dropping this default in @webpack 5! So you have to opt in to polyfilling node libs going forward!

Tip: Audit JavaScript bundles regularly. Seen teams accidentally include... * Polyfills they no longer need (e.g Promises) * Whole tech stack in one large vendors.js chunk * Duplicate dependencies in each code-split chunk Audit w/webpack-bundle-analyzer bit.ly/webpack-bundle-codela…

First evening crunch in a while. Headphones on with some great music and the hours just flew by. That feeling of uninterrupted focus and flow sure can be both seductive and productive. My son doesn't care though, he is still waking up in four hours like the boss he is.. 💤

What began as a routine release announcement spiraled into a manifesto about immutability, cache normalization, async iterators, and the future of #ApolloClient according to its lead developer, @benjamn: medium.com/p/whats-new-in-ap…

⚓️🎣↪️React-Redux v7.1 with HOOKS is now FINAL!!!↩️🎣⚓️

react-ssr-prepass is awesome in itself btw. It's like a server renderer that can suspend, but doesn't generate markup. Supports not only Suspense but also custom visitor functions! You run it before renderToString, but it's way faster than traditional multi-pass rendering!

He is not lying, it's a seriously cool implementation that uses Suspense on the server but regular effects on the client. Coupled with react-ssr-prepass you can fetch data in any component even on the server! Should also work with react-lightyear, I'll definitely give it a spin.

We still have a few more wins like this that will improve performance noticeably without touching functionality or libs we use. Differential loading plus optimising polyfills is next up and a great combo, but not as trivial to accomplish as I feel it should optimally be.

These and a few other things happens to be exactly what I'm spending most of my time doing at work right now. Very satisfying and huge payoff!

This looks extremely interesting!

Such a great thread if you're like me and missed out on React Europe. Lowered my FOMO considerably and gave me a good idea of which talks to watch (seems to be a lot of great ones!). Uncut video (aka the live streams) already available: youtube.com/channel/UCorlLn2…

We're getting a lot of questions about the future of React Router and @reach/router. Are they merging? Are they going to ship some hooks? We've been quietly working on it, here are our plans: reacttraining.com/blog/reach…
