JavaScript: AdonisJS Arguably the first JS equivalent of web development frameworks such as Laravel/Rails

Nah. More or less the same marketing s*t that's going on with Remix.

The author has fake accounts pretending to be a happy user to promote the framework. That stuff really puts me off, even if the framework might be awesome technically speaking. If you don't believe search for "andycharles" here, on reddit, twitter, etc. An account created everywhere on or after the framework was released, whose only information on the entire internet is about how great adonis is.

I am really, really, REALLY surprised so few people talk about Quasar https://quasar.dev/

Quoting from their website [1]:

"Quasar [...] is an MIT licensed open-source Vue.js based framework, which allows you as a web developer to quickly create responsive++ websites/apps in many flavours:

SPAs (Single Page App)

SSR (Server-side Rendered App) (+ optional PWA client takeover)

PWAs (Progressive Web App)

BEX (Browser Extension)

Mobile Apps (Android, iOS, …) through Cordova or Capacitor

Multi-platform Desktop Apps (using Electron)

Quasar’s motto is: write code once and simultaneously deploy it as a website, a Mobile App and/or an Electron App. Yes, one codebase for all of them, helping you develop an app in record time by using a state-of-the-art CLI and backed by best-practice, blazing fast Quasar web components."

Using it for a few years now I must say that it always impresses me with its completeness and high quality documentation. Cannot recommend it enough.

When I worked at the BBC I was working on their notifications widget in the top nav bar. This would live above the fold on every BBC site, including News, Weather, iPlayer, Sport, etc. Therefore it had to be extremely small in bundle size, but I still wanted something nice and component-based so the code resembled something modern at least. I ended up choosing Riot.js. Worked pretty nicely for the niche task I had fo…

Riotjs v2 was a breath of fresh air that endend my wait for the final version of Vue3. But alas, Riotjs v3 never got any traction and lacked any meaningful support. I finally settled on Elm and are much happier now.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, CakePHP is still maintained. The API docs are something that is being worked on and, we'll get the 404s fixed soon. What browser are you having problems with in reader mode?

Firefox doesn't show the Reader icon (right of the url bar). If trying to force reader mode with about:reader?url=https://cakephp.org/ it displays the error: Failed to load article from page As it is, the text in super light grey is completely unreadable.

Interesting, I've never seen this mode of firefox before. I checked a few other sites and they also had a 'Failed to load article from page' error. Do you have a link for a site that does work?

It usually works. Here's the 3rd link from HN home page right now for example

I'm still building most projects using Spring Boot and Kotlin. While Spring can probably be classified as a popular framework for the Java language I don't see it being used a lot in combination with Kotlin. For me personally it's a very productive framework for backend APIs or web projects with server side templating with Thymeleaf as the template engine. My setup combines the flexibility/configuration/productivity…

Hi, do you have a good resource for learning Spring Boot + Kotlin?

I've been looking into Remix ( https://remix.run/ ) to build javascript web project. I come from 10 years of Python/Django background and I want to avoid complexity of frameworks such as React particularly the headache of state management. Remix seems to use an approach similar to Hotwire Turbo Frames and a syntax of React JSX. This allows creating composable pages and loading partials in a page while still being abl…

You want to avoid the complexity of react by using a platform that wraps react with more complexity? Remix is based on react if you didn't know: https://github.com/remix-run/remix/blob/main/package.json#L9...

Obviously you haven't read my comment properly.

The main point is: * I do want to use React components for composability. * I don't want to deal with global state management.

Remix seems to address those issues for me so I'm planning to give it a try.
