Read more →APIs often behave very differently underneath. What matters is not just how an API looks on the surface, but also the abstraction layer it belongs to.
Read more →Zero's partial sync approach gives us more control, better performance, and fewer headaches when building apps with lots of data. Here's why, and how I've been using it.
Read more →There’s been a lot of buzz around Web Components (WCs) lately. Are the APIs to blame, or are our expectations simply misguided?
Read more →Initially, integrating data concerns within our components appeared intuitive to me and simplified the developer experience. However, I eventually found reasons to treat it as a last resort.
