gluon: A new framework for creating desktop apps from websites, using system installed browsers and NodeJS

▶Uses normal system installed browsers - allows user choice by supporting most Chromium and Firefox based browsers, no webviews
▶Tiny bundle sizes - <1MB using system Node, <10MB when bundling it
▶Chromium and Firefox supported as browser engine, unlike any other active framework
▶Also supports Deno (experimental)
▶Fast build times - Gluon has build times under 1 second on most machines for small projects
▶Actively developed and listening to feedback
▶Cross-platform - Gluon works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (WIP)

tablane: Tablane is a workspace that adapts to your needs. It's as minimal or as powerful as you need it to be.

▶Collaborative Editing - Google Docs like Task Description Editor
▶Subtasks - Break larger tasks into smaller subtasks.
▶Comment Threads - Collaborate on tasks without losing context.
▶Breathtakingly fast - Built for speed with 50ms interactions and real-time sync.

mutative: Efficient immutable updates, 10x faster than Immer by default, even faster than naive handcrafted reducer.

▶Mutation makes immutable updates
▶Support apply patches
▶Optional freezing state
▶Custom shallow copy
▶Immutable and mutable data markable
▶Strict mode for safer mutable data access
▶Support for JSON patches

mafs: React components for interactive math

    <Mafs>
      <CartesianCoordinates />
    </Mafs>
  )
}
