📅 In an 'advent calendar' fashion, each day we're posting talks from VueJS Amsterdam 2026 to the YouTube channel. So if you missed out, no worries! You'll be able to watch all the talks from VueJS Amsterdam 2026 and get hyped for the next year already!
🧑💻 The first talk we're starting with comes from Evan You @evanyou, the creator of both @vuejs.org and @vite.dev talking about the current state of vue, and what exciting updates are to come
📺️ Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=a9_Ud5MF… and if you want to find all other videos visit: vuejs.amsterdam/on-demand
🚀 Thank you to Evan and all the attendees for making 2026 such a great conference!
Finally, @Tan_Stack Start now supports React Server Components!
Start's RSCs are a truly fetchable, cacheable and composable primitive that work with your favorite tools instead of dictating your entire architecture.
Oh, and one more thing... "Composite Components" 😉
🔗⬇️🧵
Want to start writing tests but no idea how to get started?
The @vitest_dev docs now have a Learn section that covers evergreen concepts (matchers, tests, dealing with async code, mocks, ...) and also current topics like writing good tests with AI!
Time to get started 🎉

Full recap in the video!
Unhead v3 arrives. It's quite big.

✨ @vite_js Plugin + Devtools.
🌴 Full useHead() safety with 34 type unions and 40 dev validations.
🤏Minify via Rolldown and lightningcss

github.com/unjs/unhead/relea…
Lots of ecosystem and community updates, too:
⚡ @vite_js 8
▲ @nextjs 16.2
📝 @geteslint 10
🅰️ @angular 21
🦀 CLI init support for Rsbuild
⚡️ @preactjs support for Vitest addon
🤘 Community Vike integration
🚀 Community @astrodotbuild framework (experimental)
We moved Railway's entire frontend off Next.js. Two PRs, zero downtime.
Builds went from 10+ minutes to under two. 200+ routes on @vite_js + @tan_stack Router, instant HMR, and dev server startup in seconds.
@vrzgc's full breakdown: blog.railway.com/p/moving-ra…
We published three security advisories affecting the dev server.
Only apps using --host are affected.
Update now to the patched versions:
- Vite 8.0.5 / 7.3.2 / 6.4.2
- Vite+ 0.1.16
Links to each vulnerability report below.
A small ship I love: We made Claude.ai and our desktop apps meaningful faster this week.
We moved our architecture from SSR to a static @vite_js & @tan_stack router setup that we can serve straight from workers at the edge. Time to first byte is down 65% at p75, prompts show up 50% sooner, navigation is snappier.
We're not done (not even close!) but we care and we'll keep chipping away. Aiming to make Claude a little better every day.
