Solid in 100 Seconds

SolidJS is a JavaScript framework for building fast, declarative UIs on the web. It shares many ideas with React, but does not use the virtual DOM to deliver a more performant and pragmatic developer experience.

Seems like a React dream.. definitely has promise and a more direct coding approach while being friendly to React developers without the boilerplate that go with it

[gabrielvian]

We absolutely need a full tutorial on this! Sounds like a React dream

[kaidenrogers]

HOLY SH!T IT'S FINALLY HERE! I've been using it since your "I built the same app 10 times" video as the first front-end framework I've actually bothered to learn, and I've been loving it! Thank you for this :)

[RedCrafter]

I like how Jeff made everything in 100 seconds but he still goes on with new topics, I appreciate that!

[jonasdorken]

To be honest, your Videos are an instant share to my collegues, so they know whats going on in the dev world. Thank you very much for your work!

Friggin finally. The React that actually works. This little library slaps really hard and comes with so much good stuff baked in. All it needs is a little push from the community, much like Svelte enjoys atm and it will definitely deliver.

[OwO-.]

wow, ive been a longtime svelte fan but this seems awesome, im not really a react fan but this really seems like a good approach to that. great video!

[lThePotatoCrew]

I just saw this the other day and fell in love with it. I'm happy you're covering a video on it as well ☺️!!!

[igormriegel]

Wow, you made me love Solid, the idea of having an abstraction that returns me DOM elements instead of other stuff seems damm cool to me.

YOOOO THEY PUT THIS ON THE OFFICIAL SITE

I started using Solidjs in a project this morning, what impeccable timing. Coming from React I'm hoping I don't get stuck on a missing feature I'd need to implement myself, but so far so good!

[egriff]

Man, this is so weird but I've got nostalgia for pre-AI fireship when we could just be excited about new developer-facing frameworks and technologies.

[mirzabicer]

This actually seems amazing. I wish it had a larger community tho, that would make it more attractive

edit, just to make everything clear:
I did know Solid, I didn't know it in detail. And no, I won't be a volunteer for helping the community grow instead of just sitting and wishing it to grow. I'm not a good enough developer to be doing on my own out there and bootstrapping a community. That's the work of senior developers who are capable of doing so.

Epic, your 100 sec video is now linked on the main solidjs page in a central place. Your clips are the best overview of tech there is.

[munishthakur]

This has me really excited, API is similar to React, which would help ease the transition from React, but the underlying architecture is different and makes arguably better trade offs, Win Win

[bigmistqke]

So so happy to see this video. I absolutely love Solid. Don't let yourself be fooled by its API similarity to React, the mental model it provides is very different.

The biggest takeaway imo is how it decouples state performance from your component tree. How you build up your components and the ways how you want to update your state is up to your organizational preferences, they do not influence how well updating state and updating DOM performs. That is consistently blazingly fast, no matter how complex and nested the state.

The mental peace this creates is just 👌
Performance is truly biggest DX.

[candrewlee]

With Solid and Svelte, the future of webdev is in good hands.

[chovbee]

This actually just seems like a dream come true. I’ll definitely be looking more into this framework

[TheDragShot]

Ah, what a straightforward and solid framework. Sounds like the perfect tool to try in a small to mid size project. I certainly appreciate the reduced overhead and increased performance.

Thanks for the info as always 👍 .

After watching this video i went to the solidjs page, i found a button saying introduction in 100 seconds aaand it redirected me to this video again.
Good job your video went featured in the official solidjs page
