As React applications grow, TypeScript can either become your best friend or your biggest headache. I've worked on React applications with thousands of users, dozens of components, and multiple developers contributing simultaneously.Over the years, I found that following a few TypeScript patterns dramatically improves maintainability, reduces bugs, and makes onboarding new developers easier.In this article, I'll share 7 TypeScript patterns that help large React applications stay scalable. 1

Beyond the Div: Leveraging Semantic HTML to Solve Complex ARIA Failures in Modern React Applications
Meta: Stop over-using ARIA. Learn how semantic HTML solves complex accessibility failures in React and how to meet WCAG 2.1 AA without the ARIA overhead. Beyond the Div: Leveraging Semantic HTML to Solve Complex ARIA Failures in Modern React ApplicationsI remember a project I worked on a few years ago for a fintech client in Amsterdam. The team had built a beautiful, high-performance dashboard in React. Visually, it was stunning. But when I opened VoiceOver (a screen reader for macOS), the

The Best Screenshot APIs in 2026 (An Honest Comparison)
Most "best screenshot API" posts are affiliate-link roundups. Ratings correlate with payout, not with what actually fits your use case. This post uses verified pricing data (June 2026) and compares on the criteria that matter for developers: billing model, per-grab cost, features, and how well the API fits automation and agent workflows. What to look forThese are the dimensions that separate one screenshot API from another in practice:Billing model. Monthly subscriptions reset unused credit
Who Here Has Worked with Legacy? The Longer You Wait, the Worse It Gets
I promised myself that starting this week I'd switch to lighter topics. But on Monday, my JSNation adventure officially came to an end, and I realized I hadn't written a single article about my talk yet. Since everything is still fresh in my mind, here we go!As for JSNation itself, I have mixed feelings. I was selected for the online track and, despite the organizers' incredible professionalism, it just wasn't the same as being there in person. You know, I could have been in Amsterdam drinking b
Vue Performance Optimization: A Practical Guide for Faster Apps
`Most Vue apps do not break suddenly.They slow down quietly.At first, everything feels smooth. Pages load quickly. Components feel responsive. Dashboards work well. New features are easy to ship.Then the product grows.More routes are added. Components become heavier. Bundles get larger. Third-party scripts appear. Dashboards start lagging. Route transitions feel slower. Users begin noticing delays that the team has learned to ignore.Here is the uncomfortable truth:Vue is usually not the problem.

I stopped using React for simple tools… and started shipping 10x faster with ONE HTML file
I didn’t quit React because it’s bad.I quit it because I noticed a pattern.Every time I wanted to build something small and useful, I ended up building something way too complex.It always started the same way: “this will be a quick project”.But then I would open a React setup, add a bundler, think about folder structure, install dependencies, and suddenly the actual tool was no longer the focus.I was building infrastructure instead of building the thing.So I tried a constraintOne rule:No framewo
Render PowerPoint (.pptx) to HTML in pure JavaScript — no LibreOffice, no headless browser
If you've ever had to turn a PowerPoint to HTML on a server, you know the usual options are grim. You either shell out to LibreOffice in headless mode (a 400 MB dependency that forks a process per file and occasionally hangs), spin up a headless browser, or ship the deck off to some cloud conversion API and pray about the privacy implications. For something that's just a file format, that's a lot of moving parts.deck-ir takes a different route. It does pptx to html in pure JavaScript — without L

I built a Chrome extension that shows which tab is eating your RAM (and frees it in one click)
The problem I kept running intoI'm a chronic tab hoarder. At any given time I've got 40–80 tabs open across two windows. Chrome's built-in Memory Saver is aggressive in the wrong ways — it hibernates tabs I'm actively referencing. And the built-in task manager is a two-step detour that still doesn't tell me which tabs I should actually close.So I built Tab Memory Manager. What it doesPer-tab memory estimates — A live MB count next to every open tab. Sorted by memory usage by default.

I Stopped Writing Code. My App Still Shipped in 3 Days. Here's What That Tells Us About Being a Developer in 2026.
Three months ago, I built a full-stack SaaS dashboard with auth, database, REST API, UI, and deployment. I wrote maybe 200 lines of code myself. The rest? AI-generated, AI-reviewed, AI-refactored. The app is in production. Users pay for it. And I haven't had a single panic at 2am over a bug I don't understand.That's not a flex. That's a warning signal and an opportunity that most developers are still sleeping on.We are living through the fastest restructuring of the developer role in history, an

Building a Loading State That Doesn't Feel Slow — Lessons From an AI Generation Tool
Generation tools have a UX problem most apps don't: a genuine 8-15 second wait between action and result. Get the loading state wrong and users perceive the tool as slow even when the actual processing time is reasonable.Here's what I learned building the loading experience for generate AI images for free. The Problem With a Plain SpinnerThe default instinct is a spinning loader. It works, technically. But it communicates almost nothing — no sense of progress, no indication anything specifi
Generative UI with AI on React + React Native Universal App
Lately, AI chat products have started doing more than returning paragraphs of text.Ask Claude a question about data or a simple workflow, and you may get a small interactive web element — a form, a chart, a picker — rendered inline in the conversation. It feels less like reading an answer and more like using a lightweight app.At Google I/O 2026, Gemini's Generative UI pushed the same idea further: the model doesn't just describe an interface — it assembles one from a known component vocabulary,
