Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Conform

Type-safe form validation.

What we like

Works with any valid HTML form to progressively enhance validation. Infers field types and can work with Zod, Valibot, Yup schemas. Minimal integration overhead using FormData Web APIs and event delegation. Works client-side and server side using an optional Next.js server action handler or Remix action. Makes accessibility easy.

What we don't like

Reports of incompatibility with React 19.

One

Cross-platform React + React Native framework.

What we like

A single framework for building web and native applications. Provided as a Vite plugin. Includes routing (SSG, SSR, SPA, API), middleware, data loaders, and common components e.g. Link and ProgressBar, and hooks. Helps styling for light and dark mode.

What we don't like

Still in development (website says beta, but release says v1) and whilst native production builds are available, they’re listed as not extensively tested. Web is considered mostly stable.

Liveblocks AI Copilots

Components to add AI to your app.

What we like

Drop-in React components for adding AI features to your app. Supports chat, editor toolbar, cursors for streaming editing, and AI submitted comments. Embed app specific knowledge and execute custom tools. Bring your own LLM backend.

What we don't like

Currently closed access - requires you to book a demo to get started.
