The first thing is to get to 1.0 which we are very close to. What are your plans for BlitzJS in the next 12 months? (hiring, product development…?) Bug fixes, features, feature ideas, helping answer questions in our Discord, etc.

Yes!! We love contributions of all kinds. We now have over 375 total contributors!Īre you looking for more external contributors? What kind of contributions are you looking for? A couple of months ago we hired Aleksandra Sikora, a former engineering manager at Hasura, to be the Lead Blitz Maintainer. How many are you in the team, and how many external contributors do you have?įor 1.5 years, it was mainly just me with a long tail of OSS contributors. And I came to really miss the DX that Rails provided and wanted something similar for React/JS. And then I spent 4 years doing React/node consulting. I got into web programming through Ruby on Rails. Why did you build this product? Can you share your vision with us? Usually switching to a different package manager will fix their problem. We often get reports from people that something isn’t working and it’s a npm/yarn specific thing in their environment. We encounter bugs in npm/yarn that we have to workaround.

All the package managers result in different organizations inside node_modules which can result in weird bugs in our code. Npm is garbage 😂 But for real, node_modules and package managers cause the most headaches and problems for us. What are the biggest challenges you are facing in building BlitzJS? We have lots of small and medium startups using it as well as larger enterprises like Algolia and an Australian energy company. This is mainly why devs report Blitz makes them 5-10x more productive than other stacks.īlitz is perfect for any web app. We abstract the API layer into a compile step so as a developer you just write functions that run on the server (to talk to a database, etc), then import those functions directly into your React components, and then it just magically works. The keystone feature of Blitz is the “zero-api” data layer. What makes BlitzJS unique? Who and why should use it?

It’s a batteries-included framework that has everything you need for fullstack including database, authentication, code generation, etc. It extends Next.js to add lots of awesome power features for doing fullstack. In short, Blitz is the Ruby on Rails equivalent for Javascript and React. So, you are the creator of BlitzJS - can you tell us more about it? I’m based in Ohio, I am an airplane and helicopter pilot and love doing outdoor activities. Hi Brandon, can you introduce yourself to our dev community?
