Choo Weekly #4 2018: Bankai Sponsorship, Community Highlights
Hi from Singapore! We’re hanging out at JSConf Asia this week — hit us up on Twitter if you’re interested in chatting about frontend or some free stickers!
This week we have lots of work from people in the community. Maps, videos, sketches, and apps — it’s all here!
If this is your first time you’re hearing about Choo: we’re the tiny frontend framework you’ve always wanted to use. True story. Check out create-choo-app to have your first application working 5 minutes from now.
nearForm is sponsoring Browserify & Bankai development
nearForm has been sponsoring Choo for a couple of months now. One of the largest projects we’ve published since has been Bankai v9: an optimizing web compiler. Many of its features, such as code splitting and bundle flattening were implemented by Renée Kooi.
We’re thrilled to announce nearForm has agreed to sponsor Renée part-time to continue their work on Bankai & Browserify! We’re excited for the future is going to hold, and thankful to nearForm for their continued support!
Let’s read some code! Choo Stores
Josh Johnston started a walkthrough of how Choo’s internals work! Check out how Choo’s store abstraction is implemented!
State Machines drawing
Irina Shestak drew a pretty great visualization of how State Machines work. Check it out on her Twitter:
3D Maps
substack has been creating 3D map sculptures using Regl and Choo. Check out Hawaii & Seamount.
Hypercast
Louis Center has been working on p2p video using Dat and Choo! Pretty cool if you want to share (live) video without relying on a central provider.
