Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2025-03-13.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Fast JS bundler.
Zero config - supports bundling CSS, images, WASM, fonts, polyfills, etc from JS/TS. Hot reload (HMR) with component-level reloading. Configurable code splitting and tree shaking. Faster than every other bundler.
Only supports macOS and Linux. Not compatible with Webpack (which is a feature so they can go their own way, but worth highlighting).
Markdown slides in your terminal.
Presentations are created in Markdown so have a plain text source. Supports images and gifs. Themable. Includes syntax highlighting. Code snippets can be executed on demand. You also present from your terminal, but can export to PDF.
You lose flexibility from WYSIWYG slide editors, but we could all do with simpler presentations.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
Extract, transform, index data.
Native mobile apps with web tech.

Cluster gossip protocol.
