I started a new open-source project: Nano Stores SQL, lets you use SQLite via WASM in the browser (or React Native) together with the other smart Nano Stores.
So the user’s UI doesn’t have to wait for server data and feels instant.

We just donated to @wooorm as part of our open source donation program! He's an engineer based in the Netherlands and the maintainer of 550+ OSS projects with 38B+ downloads per year.
If your project uses Markdown, there's a good chance it already runs on one of his tools. His most well-known project is mdx, used for writing Markdown with JSX components.
He also has newer Rust-based implementations.
If Markdown is part of your stack, consider donating too: https://github.com/sponsors/wooorm
See, businesses are built on top of solutions they didn't build and don't control.
And deep in the back, there are tired, underfunded, and unrecognized maintainers doing a ton of work to keep our industry afloat, with no reward.
Unpaid OSS maintainers are also especially vulnerable to security threats. They lack the dedicated time, resources, and organizational support needed to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated threats.
We want to help change that.
This matters a lot to us.
We see how maintainers lose motivation and stop believing in their projects. This is our small contribution to show up for the open source community and the people who are altruistically keeping the industry moving.
We stopped donating to your open source project every month. Here's why.
We believe keeping OSS maintainers motivated can help prevent burnout.
So we're starting a new process for frontend solutions:
1. Meeting once a year to create a list of OSS and maintainers we follow, use, and find value in.
2. Donating to 15 projects a year that we believe are changing the industry, and have little to no support.
3. Making a one-time donation to each project so the maintainer can actually enjoy it.
Predictability might be the most underrated feature of maintainable software. Joel Oliveira joins Robby to explore how thoughtful patterns, small refactors, and a bit of stubborn persistence can keep systems healthy long after their first release.
Nano Stores seems to be my fastest-growing open source project right now.
10x growth over the past year!

What happens when one developer's tools account for 0.7% of all NPM downloads? In this episode, Andrey Sitnik, creator of PostCSS, Autoprefixer, and Browserlist, and lead engineer at Evil Martians, shares the full story behind the CSS tools that millions of developers depend on every day.
