Vite
Insanely fast dev server and build tool. Feels like what modern frontend should’ve always been. Lightweight, works with most frameworks, and just smooth overall. Hard to go back to Webpack after using it.

What's great

fast performance (13)lightweight (1)modern tooling (4)smooth development experience (9)
Svelte
Super lean and reactive. No virtual DOM, super fast, and easy to write. Feels magical. Great DX, but still not as mature as React/Vue in the ecosystem.

React Native
Solid for cross-platform mobile. Not perfect, but great for fast mobile dev if you already know React. Some native bridging pain, but it’s matured a lot.

Vue.js
Clean, elegant, and easy to pick up. Feels like a great middle ground between flexibility and structure. Ideal for small to mid-sized projects or devs who want more guidance than React offers.

React
The king of components. Battle-tested, flexible, and has a massive ecosystem. JSX is love/hate, but React’s mental model just works for a lot of devs.

Tailwind CSS
Clean, efficient, and super fast for building UIs. Utility-first takes getting used to, but once it clicks, you barely touch a stylesheet again. Perfect with component-based frameworks.

What's great

rapid UI development (52)component-based frameworks compatibility (6)reduced need for custom CSS (12)utility-first approach (20)

What needs improvement

Next.js
Fast, flexible, and production-ready. Great for SEO, full-stack apps, and React projects. Built-in routing, API routes, SSR/SSG—all smooth. If you're into React, it's a no-brainer.

What's great

LinkedIn
It’s solid for networking and credibility. Good for showing expertise, getting clients, and connecting with pros in your field. A bit corporate, but if used right, it works.

What's great

personal branding (9)professional networking (38)
Riff.ai
Databutton is simple to use, and I love that it is you through all steps. My only problem is that I used all the tokens before getting the first preview. I didn't have the chance to explore its capabilities. I will try it again and hopefully integrate it into my daily workflow.

What's great

user-friendly interface (5)

What needs improvement

high token consumption (2)
