The Dev Times #76

Halfway through each month, our newsletter for developers: The Dev Times, brings three reads that our own developers found interesting on the web, and two Transloadit updates that may interest you.

GitButler

GitButler is an innovative new Git workflow that offers an alternative to the traditional GitHub Desktop or git CLI status quo for those who switch between several branches often. It automatically creates virtual branches that allow you to select which branch a change should go under, without having to create a temporary stash. They also managed to simplify branch management, helping to avoid the odd wrestle with rebase. Best of all? It's completely open source, allowing you to contribute to the open beta today.

MillionLint - ESLint for performance

Identifying slow code can (ironically) be a slow process, especially when you're not well versed in the default web DevTools. What if there was a way to see how long each function took to run, from within your editor? Fortunately, thanks to MillionLint, we now live in that reality. By parsing through the currently hostile performance debugger, and only providing the relevant performance information to your functions, MillionLint offers an at-a-glance approach that helps keep performance at the forefront of your product.

JSR open beta

Likewise, the same Deno team has now sought to iterate on the colossus that is NPM, with their new package registry JSR. It is designed from the ground up with ESM and TypeScript in mind, to hopefully provide a simpler, faster and better developer experience. It's a big promise, and we are looking forward to seeing how it develops. Check it out ›

In this blog, you'll learn how to combine the best of both worlds into a single, unified content delivery and file transformation platform with the TLCDN. Read more ›

Downloading files with cURL

cURL is a staple of any developer's command-line toolkit, offering a quick and easy way to fire off API requests to any URL, or to easily download a file from a location. In this guide, we go over what cURL is, how to use it, and even how you can use it to test your Transloadit Templates. Find out more ›
