Show HN: I made a tool that makes React faster automatically

by aidenyb on 8/11/23, 5:39 AM with 1 comments

In brief: I'm Aiden, 18, and have spent the past 2 years of high school working on Million.js, an open source React alternative with 11K stars on GitHub and hundreds of thousands of npm downloads.

Recently, I released automatic mode, which detects slow React components and automatically optimizes the reconciliation phase. It's still in beta but chugging along. It's around 70% faster than React on the JS Framework Benchmark and you can see how I did it here: https://million.dev/blog/virtual-dom

    Congrats for million and for your work.

    Do you plan to write a blog post about the history behind million? Or did you write something already that I might have missed?
