tracking js frameworks_

this one is nextjs, ftr

more bite sized snacks

been a while since I've posted a blog, but I've been really busy i promise.

Here's something i did that i was thinking about for a while, no not a way to make money or do anything useful, but a way to track how long it's been since a new JS framework came out, and a place to catalogue them all.

have a look at jscharts.dev
, it has all the news on birthdays, death days, and some minor notes on most frameworks.

how's it work? it's easy! there's a json file with the data in it, and a .py script to scrape repositories for commit information and activity that then updates back to the json file.

the site is nextjs (of course) which generates static pages from the json which you can browse at its domain.

it's really that basic.

it'll also be open source probably today when I can clean up the code a bit. i'd love for the .py to be autorun somewhere in the cloud to update it on its own, right now it's a scheduled script in raycast which is... kinda ghetto.
