/tooling

Here's a couple of other things that I love working with:

• Next.js (opens in a new tab): can't believe I put off working on NextJS for so long; it is an absolute delight!
• Styled components (opens in a new tab): CSS-in-JS just works
• TypeScript (opens in a new tab): type-safe code means that refactoring and catching bugs at code-write time itself becomes the norm
• Redux Toolkit (opens in a new tab): an opinionated toolset for much more efficient redux development
• Commitlint (opens in a new tab): helps you (and your team!) adhere to a commit convention, by checking if your commit messages meet the conventional commit format (opens in a new tab)
• Prettier (opens in a new tab): only thing better than looking at beautiful code is not having to worry about formatting it

and a couple of packages that I've been keeping an eye out for:

• React Query (opens in a new tab): makes fetching, caching, synchronizing and updating server state in your React applications a breeze.
• Rome (opens in a new tab): an approach to "standardizing the web development experience" by consolidating a linter, compiler, bundler, and more for JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, Markdown, and CSS.
• Vite (opens in a new tab): taking the concepts of Snowpack (opens in a new tab) and Parcel (opens in a new tab) to a whole another level
• Svelte (opens in a new tab): component framework which unlike React and Vue (which primarily run in the browser), runs during the compile step at build time
• Tailwind (opens in a new tab): CSS framework with a focus on utility classes instead of prebuilt components
