Another week, another Choo weekly! This week’s a short one, because, well, we’ve been working on a lot of stuff — but not releasing much.

Also happy Valentines Day! — we hope you had a good date with whatever you love most. In our case we really like food, and had a bunch — so that was pretty excellent.

Anyway, frontend. Let’s dive into our shortest Choo Weekly so far!

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.

nanocomponent-cache v1.1.0

Bret Comnes released v1.1.0 of nanocomponent-cache. This is a great module to keep track of component instances between runs. This is currently one of the solutions we’re considering for Choo’s component system going forward.

Showrunner.io beta is live!

The wonderful folks over at Scripto have released the beta for the new Showrunner: an application to help write TV shows. We’re really excited about this, as it’s probably one of the most complex Choo apps in production at the time of writing.

If you’re looking to work with Choo, and live in the US: they’re currently looking for a new engineer on their team!

sheetify-cssnext v2.0.0

One of the oldest modules Sheetify ecosystem was recently updated to be compatible with the latest Sheetify. If you’re looking to try out the latest CSS syntax, today — give sheetify-cssnext a spin!

Wrapping Up

And that’s it for this week! We’re currently working on (experimental) async rendering in Bankai, so pretty stoked about that. Also there’s some more general quality-of-life improvements coming through in Bankai, and we’re really excited for them!

Anyway, this is goobye. Catch y’all again next week!

If you’re working on something cool using Choo, let us know on @4kilobytes or Freenode#choo ✌️.
