@vercel released NextJS 10 with many useful improvements:
- Image optims without affecting build times
- i18n routing, subpath or domain
- React 17, Fash Refresh, new JSX transform...
- analytics dashboard using real user metrics
- e-commerce starter

A very interesting Jamstack build time benchmark gives very good scalability results for NextJS (even better than Eleventy for large sites!), and not very good for Gatsby 🤷‍♂️

Let's wait for this benchmark to improve over time and include rebuild time.

@jaredpalmer released Formik v3 alpha with input masking features (useful for phone numbers formatting).

With v3, the plan is to recover from v2 assumption that there will be a performant useSelector() hook in React core, which never happened. https://formik.org/blog/formik-3-alpha
@dabit3 published a little walkthrough of the @remix_run preview (released last week), and for which we don't have much public infos (outside of the mailing list).

Will @ryanflorence and @mjackson make a successful bet with their paid framework? ✌️ https://dev.to/dabit3/a-first-look-at-remix-run-449a
The ReactNative website was upgraded to Docusaurus 2, with dark mode and SPA nav.

Very happy with this because it's my own work deployed in production! (alongside @Simek and many others) https://twitter.com/sebastienlorber/status/1321784071815680000
This new cross-platform ReactNative styling lib from @_z0al is inspired by TailwindCSS

If you prefer theme-ui, @FernandoTheRojo got you covered with Dripsy

@chriscoyier post on Jamstack vs WordPress was very interesting, complete and objective.

Is Jamstack really better than WordPress + CloudFlare?

Curious what he thinks about incremental SSG features of NextJS, that also diverge from Jamstack a bit. https://css-tricks.com/wordpress-and-jamstack
Is it worth implementing your webapp backend in C?

This post tries to answer with a benchmark.

@tmcw propose a few alternatives to build web apps without using SPAs, from Turbolinks to Phoenix LiveView... https://macwright.com/2020/10/28/if-not-spas.html
LibSass and node-sass is deprecated, but don't worry, you can use dart-sass, which may be slower, but also more feature complete
