Weekly Links: Tools from last week
Last week got crazy with track training and work. Back on the grind for indoor season as well as diving deep into the Robin Powered mobile app again to freshen up some views and build out new features.
The fastest (js) styles in the West
CXS has insane build speed and several different output modes. At first I was skeptical of using JS for styles but after working with React-Native Stylesheets I’m convinced it has so much to offer. Write styles for everything, and CXS will make a stylesheet and assign classes that finds the best overlap between elements leaving no cruft.
Gatsby ❤ Typescript
Gatsby now supports Typescript and YAML front matter (like Jekyll). GatsbyJS was my first introduction to the world of React and Kyle has kept Gatsby extensible and bleeding edge. https://github.com/gatsbyjs
Quicker github releases!
Cut releases from the command line with ZeitHQ’s Release. Really, just check out all of their open source work. https://github.com/zeit/release
Smaller React
Cut down reacts build size with this tooling. 30kb to be exact. https://github.com/rstacruz/webpack-tricks#smaller-react
Sites of the Week
