Eight months ago I left my job at Stripe to build a knowledge base. Today I'm writing about it.
⚛️ Sometimes I send recruiters a terse reply saying, "thanks but no thanks." Occasionally, I feel obligated to explain a bit more. Especially if an org is about to go all-in on React, and there might be a chance to dissuade them.
Beyond Signals, by Ryan Carniato, by @ryansolid.bsky.social (@jetbrains.com):
[Перевод] Я попробовал Solid.js — и начинаю ненавидеть React
Команда JavaScript for Devs подготовила перевод статьи, в которой разработчик с восьмилетним опытом работы с React делится неожиданным открытием: Solid.js оказался проще, логичнее и… приятнее в использовании. Меньше перерендеров, ближе к нативному вебу, честное поведение API и настоящие веб-компоненты — кажется, у React появился достойный конкурент.
Témoignage d'un développeur React avec 8 ans d'expérience après avoir utilisé Solid pendant 1 mois. Spoiler : il y a pas mal de complexité dans React que les devs acceptent par habitude mais qui n'est pas irrémédiable.

I’ve Tried Solid.js, Now I’m Starting to Hate React, by @alem.forge42.dev:

⚛️ If you are still perfectly happy using React in 2025, then this article will likely not resonate with you. And that's okay. Feel free to skip it.
That said, here is a succinct explanation of Solid versus React render flows.
> "It's a lot easier to get something to re-render when you want it to, rather than getting it to not re-render when you don’t want it to!"

For anyone who has ever regretfully written something akin to this in CSS…
```
.foo {
color: red !important;
}
```
Metaphorically, coming to Solid feels like no longer needing that approach for UI state changes.

Простая и мощная валидация форм для SolidJS с Zod
solidjs-hook-form — библиотека для удобной и быстрой работы с формами в SolidJS. Использует Zod для мощной валидации и встроенную реактивность SolidJS для высокой производительности. Легковесная, не навязывает стили и дает полный контроль над UI. Идеальна для разработчиков, которые хотят меньше возиться с формами и больше фокусироваться на логике приложения. Попробуйте, если работаете с SolidJS — возможно, это то, что вам нужно!

This is all off the back of a very successfull trial with Cambs NHS with distinctly positive feedback and outcomes!
As I previously mentioned we're hiring software developers, physiotherapists, and other roles on-site in the #Cambridge (UK) area: https://careers.flok.health/
The software work is mainly #Python centred on a core of #Django, with some front-end using #SolidJS/#React and similar, plus the ususal sorts of tools and infrastructure. There's even a bit of Rust lurking off to one side (but not often touched at the moment.)

Right, I'll really take the corporate-shill hat off for a while now (but really, it's an interesting and pleastant start-up to work for! 🤠 And no, no LLMs/GenAI! Think more oldskool: "expert systems"!)
#DevLog: #Anklang #SolidJS Influx
🧬 Fixed some of my #LitElement bugs by migrating to solid
🧩 Refactored & simplified modal dialog creation
🎯 Goal: Robust UI with modern reactivity patterns!
For #Anklang we expect to have lots of small updates at the GUI, but the number of components (Tracks, Clips) remains mostly stable throughput the runtime. We do however have some heavy canvas uses (PianoRoll, Spectrogram).
It wasn't too easy to map these requirements onto Vue2/Vue3, which is why we moved to Lit. However for Lit we also have to bundle a Signals library to implement all needed updates and still see missing updates / complains about too many rerenders at the UI.
Since we need Signals anyway, it makes sense to look into SolidJS as a UI solution as well.
So here is a Wiki page with the result of LLMs comparing the two under our requirements:
