Frontend Links of the Week 49

49th part of the series - advanced links in the area of web frontend development.

Do Quests, Not Goals by David Cain
Right now I am not doing anything besides hiking, swimming, and enjoying the mountains.

Zen Browser by Zen
This is what Firefox feels to me. But maybe worth giving it a try, too?!

Tips from 8 months of TanStack/Router in production by Swizec Teller
I still miss the point of using something besides React Router, but I guess that's just a sign of me getting old.

Parallel DOM by Ashish Shubham
Unfortunately the demos don't work in Firefox - but otherwise looks great if you think about distributing rendering tasks!

An approach to optimizing TypeScript type checking performance by Scott Trinh
Especially check out the general advice section on how to write better performing types.

Optimizing SPA load times with async chunks preloading by Mazzarolo Matteo
I'd argue that bundle splitting is great, but instead of just blindly preloading everything you'd only preload parts before they become relevant, e.g., when certain areas are visible or focused.

Prerendering with Preset Vite by Ryan Christian
This is definitely a useful plugin. Since you can mostly also just alias / replace React by Preact it could be a great way out for simpler pages to avoid requiring JavaScript.

Personally, I think it would be better to remove corepack and let it evolve independently.

There is a great debate ongoing in the WICG Web Components GitHub repository that might actually benefit from native JSX (https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1069).

20 years since open source release, here comes Ruby on Rails 7.2 with JIT compiler and more by Tim Anderson
20 years ago I found Ruby. Two years later I started using Rails, but even though I then headed in a different direction I still think this is one of the best ecosystems out there.
