I see a lot of great reviews about this ESLint config from devs on Reddit. It seems like worth trying it out. It looks very comprehensive and complete. Have you tried it in your projects already?

Other tools follow the same format...

I'm done with ESLint. Seriously.
I have been using it for many years but it has become a monster that is too complex. I've tried to migrate my projects to the latest version of ESLint (v9) and it was a disaster. Breaking changes, some extra dependencies, and a lot of configuration. It's just too much for a simple linting tool it's supposed to be. I got lost after a few hours of debugging...
I've done a quick research and found a much better alternative that I managed to set up in 10 minutes. Simple and fast, JSON configuration with schema support, TS support out of the box. Such a joy to use. Totally recommend you drop ESLint if you're still using it. This is the new hero in the linting world for me!

This project has caught my eye recently – InstantDB. It’s a client-side real-time database with a rather interesting architecture. It’s built with a synchronization layer between the client and the server. The idea is that the client interacts directly with the “local” database, and it gets synchronized with the backend database in the background. This approach sounds quite revolutionary for frontend development and seems to offer significant improvements in performance and app optimization for many developers. Have you had a chance to try InstantDB yet?

In case you didn’t know, since recently you can run TypeScript files with Node.js natively, without transpiling to JavaScript. It is still an experimental feature and has some limitations, beware of that. Obviously, too early for the use in production, but it’s a great step forward.

If you're using TypeScript with the Fastify web server in your Node.js projects, then check out typed-fastify (https://tfs.cooba.me). I'd say it's the only reliable solution I've found so far to achieve end-to-end type-safety using existing TS types.

To Next or not to Next?...

Next.js is a legendary web dev framework. Arguably, it's the most popular choice across web engineers for building SaaS and web projects. I'm not a deep expert in #nextjs, although I used it for a while and quite liked it a couple of years ago. I liked its flexibility in SSR/no-SSR rendering, and other cool features. But I've recently had several chats with web devs where we discussed Next.js. So I noticed more and more people complaining that Next became unreliable, too cumbersome and fragile. It seems like Next.js has really changed since then. Also, we have Astro, Svetle, Remix and other competitors around. The latter one in particular is the one I'm working with right now, and it looks quite interesting so far...

What is your favorite framework for building a SaaS or web project nowadays?
