Don't want to sound too bold, but just found Mantine - UI library that tries to do everything I wished other libs did. Beautiful and flexible UI components, number of useful React hooks (thinking of clicking outside of a dropdown), transition API and things like drag & drop or drop zones out of the box.

Not even mentioning customisability, default theme support, typescript and handy placeholders like 404 or 500 etc. And free / open source.

Has anyone tried this already? Anything you didn't like about it? How's the dev experience vs antd or material?

Upd: the only thing I'm probably missing is embedded table filters in columns. But at the same time it's not a tricky one to add.

Everything you need to know about developing in React nicely concised in a 50 min read.

With examples, good vs bad and personal recommendations.

Won't agree with a few things in the list, but still impossible to ignore the quality of the article.

Extra 🔥 for covering what happens when passing callback functions as props. Too many article either don't mention it or even do that in their examples.

Gooey Effect.
10/10 Goodness.

Do you know that feeling when your designer went "super creative" and came up with a "liquid" design, which when you look at you start crying as a dev? That's classic.

So turns out there is something we can do about it. It's called gooey effect. And it actually makes perfect sense when you think about it. It's essentially a combination of blurring and morphing effects together.

Personally, some of the options I would never use, but neat linear gradient is a decent one.

Color power

They say the cornerstone of any powerful design comes down to colors.

On this, I found a great article on the basics that also clarifies why we use red green blue (rgb) in CS, but in painting the primary colors are red, yellow and blue.

And that cannot go without hyperlinking coloors that can easily help to generate a color pallette for your next project.

And absolute gold, 10/10 goodness is always a handy free tool from canva that not so many people heard about. The best part about it is that you can learn a lot about the theory on different color combination that you can then dynamically generate based on your primary color choice. This then can be used to create graphic from your color palette or get some inspiration from existing ones.

React Profiler - link

If you haven't used this one before you are really missing out. I find this one the quickest way to go through you web project and identify places that can be optimised. Works way better than dumping console.log in you renders around the app or using default chrome dev tools performance analyzer.

Profiler will show you exactly how many times components re-rendered and why (which props changed etc)

Then it's up to you to go around that heavy component and optimise it, memoise certain functions, wrap with React.memo, refactor, add reselect or what not.

And personally the nicest practical "let me show you how it works" is from Ben Awad here

Atom code editor is done 🤷

I used to actually like it before I've tried vscode.

But now that github belongs to Microsoft it does make sense to focus on vscode instead.
