Excellent work on Rari! I don't want to spoil the fun and take away the achievement, but your benchmark is not a fair comparison. Rari is not using SSR. It is fetching the RSC components from the client-side, while the benchmark is measuring load times for the initial HTML.
Also, this might be a seriously wrong approach, that @owoce.bsky.social can surely validate. It works for the use cases I tested, but there might be others where this breaks.
This is a nasty hack/tech to inject opaque client references into cached RSC payloads, allowing them to be resolved when rendering the cached RSCs under "react-server" conditions. The serialized RSC contains only opaque client references, and everything starts at github.com/lazarv/react...

no idea how we'll ever be able to thank @joyeecheung.bsky.social for all her efforts to port `require(esm)` to Node 20 🥹
🚀 Living on the edge! @lazarv/react-server might be the first framework using Vite 6.1 in it's latest published version? Awesome work Vite team! 👏
It's already in the oven and baking! ⏳🚀⚡
🎮🎸📺 I've always loved gaming, music, and movie/TV-themed T-shirts, but now I have two new favorites! 🎉 My first @lazarv/react-server shirts just arrived! 😎
🔥 A little geek swag never hurts! And yes, dark mode included - one black, one white, just like the docs! ⚫⚪
What do you think?
oh yes please! how much of Vite could be dropped in an ideal native ESM-only world? maybe more than 50%?
New blog post! Let's move to ESM! 😈

The updated React 19 experimental version now supports the experimental ViewTransition API! 🎬✨ Exciting to see how this evolves and what new possibilities it unlocks for seamless UI transitions. 🚀
This alias setup is necessary because @lazarv/react-server can be used via `npx` without requiring React to be installed in the developer's project. In this case, the framework lives in a completely different location, making precise module resolution essential. 🌍🔗
The environment-dependent alias plugin is needed because React is used in two versions: one for RSC rendering with the react-server Node.js module resolution condition and another for SSR & client rendering. 🔄🎭
Upgrading from Vite 6 alpha 18 to the latest required completely different workarounds! 🔄 It was interesting to see how things changed, but in the end, the update made everything feel more refined. Loving the progress! 🚀
Finally, @lazarv/react-server now uses Vite 6 latest! 🚀
Also updated to use the latest React 19 experimental & Vitest 3 ✅
Vite 6 simplified the dev server config in many places, but some workarounds were still needed - especially for the environment-dependent alias plugin, which I had to patch. 🔧😅
hey dev tools companies!
I am actively booking season 2 of Web Dev Challenge and I want to work with you. we’ll pick a use case and get devs to build an app using your tool — then we’ll open up the challenge to the community for fun & prizes!
limited spots available — hit me up at info@codetv.dev
Today we’re happy to share our plans for Biome 2.0 as well as the rest of our roadmap for 2025.
Read all about it here: biomejs.dev/blog/roadmap...
#OpenSource #WebDev #Tooling for #JavaScript #TypeScript #CSS #GraphQL and #GritQL, written in #Rust
We just released the beta for TypeScript 5.8! This release brings support for Node.js' require(ESM), smarter/safer checks for functions using advanced types, a few great optimizations for editor scenarios, and more. Give it a try!

Screenshot of GitHub settings page with following text: Successor settings By clicking "Add Successor" below, I acknowledge that I am the owner of the account, and am authorizing GitHub to transfer content within that account to my GitHub Successor, designated below, in the event of my death. I understand that this appointment of a successor does not override legally binding next-of-kin rules or estate laws of any relevant jurisdiction, and does not create a binding will.
TIL you can set a successor to your GitHub account in case accidents happen.
This is one of the best GitHub features I haven’t discovered for a while.
Highly recommended for every open source maintainer to set it up!

Looks like @renovatebot.com now supports pnpm catalogs!
Never bet against @vite.dev.
Announcing ES Module Shims 2.0. The latest version of what started out as an import maps polyfill now supports production polyfilling of more than 8 existing and upcoming native browser modules features 🧵
esm.sh v136 has been deployed with
- builtin @jsr.io (h/t @lcas.dev ) and pkg.pk.new (h/t @aslemammad.bsky.social @amirsakhravi.bsky.social) registries.
- more stable package version resolving
- use @pi0.io's github.com/unjs/unenv
- and more ↪ github.com/esm-dev/esm....
Public acknowledgments make a massive difference in the long term. Thanking the people who helped you and the projects that inspired you allows the whole ecosystem to weave a narrative around the shared commons we're creating together. I'm always happy when OSS projects send flowers to others 💐
5 years in, I'm still thinking about how we can enable streamed execution of ES modules: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
If you've got a podcast or interview show, I've got availability & a lot to say & I'd love to join as a guest!
If you're interested in talking about:
- Uncommon approaches to reaching dev audiences
- Learning how to get paid to have a heck of a lot of fun
I love a good conversation — hit me up!
Saw a take that "bad docs are better than no docs" and just... no.
*Imperfect* docs are better than no docs. (Who's perfect?) *Incomplete* docs are better than no docs. (Docs are never done!) But don't set "bad docs" as your bar. They frustrate your users and are actively harmful to your project.
