Show HN: Q.js – Smaller than React/Vue, yet more powerful (40KB gzipped) 3 by EGreg | 3 comments on Hacker News. Q.js is a lightweight JS framework that I recently distilled from our in-house Qbix platform that I’ve been building since 2011. It powers many of our social apps, which have all the features of Facebook, LinkedIn, X, etc. We’re not a big company like Google or Meta, so we never released it publicly. Now I’d like to, and thought it would be a good idea to post it on HN and gather some feedback. Q.minimal.js was designed to be dropped into any website. It lazy-loads all your components only as they are needed and appear on the screen. The minimal file is meant as a starting point for developers, and if you later want more features from the Qbix platform, you can simply swap it out for the larger Q.js file instead. Here are some advantages of Q.minimal.js compared to React, Angular, Vue, or whatever you might be using now: 40KB gzipped, smaller than React (without ReactDOM)...

Show HN: Magic links – Get video and dev logs without installing anything 6 by irtefa | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, For a while now, our team has been trying to solve a common problem: getting all the context needed to debug a bug report without the endless back-and-forth. It’s hard to fix what you can't see, and console logs, network requests, and other dev data are usually missing from bug reports. We’ve been working on a new tool called Recording Links. The idea is simple: you send a link to a user or teammate, and when they record their screen to show an issue, the link automatically captures a video of the problem along with all the dev context, like console logs and network requests. Our goal is to make it so you can get a complete, debuggable bug report in one go. We think this can save a ton of time that's normally spent on follow-up calls and emails. We’re a small team and would genuinely appreciate your thoughts on this. Is this a problem you face? How would...

Show HN: Bolt – A super-fast, statically-typed scripting language written in C 17 by beariish | 6 comments on Hacker News. I've built many interpreters over the years, and Bolt represents my attempt at building the scripting language I always wanted. This is the first public release, 0.1.0! I've felt like the embedded scene has been moving towards safety and typing over years, with things like Python type hints, the explosive popularity of typescript, and even typing in Luau, which powers one of the largest scripted evironments in the world. Bolt attempts to harness this directly in the lagnauge rather than as a preprocessing step, and reap benefits in terms of both safety and performance. I intend to be publishing toys and examples of applications embedding Bolt over the coming few weeks, but be sure to check out the examples and the programming guide in the repo if you're interested!

Show HN: HMPL – Small Template Language for Rendering UI from Server to Client 7 by aanthonymax | 5 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! Together with contributors, we've been making a small template language for a year now, which, in our opinion, can replace HTMX and Alpine.js. It is a mix between EJS and Handlebars, that is, you can make a request with a familiar syntax to the server in HTML right in the markup. Requests are made via fetch and are configured via javascript almost entirely, which is what is needed today to work with the server. The very essence of the template language comes down to minimizing the size of the bundle of the original web application by moving the components to the server and then storing them there. Thus, on the client we get a framework, where we insert components from the server brick by brick. We showed this template language a long time ago, but it was not so mature then, so people had a lot of questions: https://ift.tt/NREWkzT Thank you very much...
