Here is my 2024 Webdev wish list. It will be interesting to see in January next year what has been done!
1. AppWrite
- Joins - see Future of Queries - MariaDB supports json joins, so definitely possible!
2. Dgraph
- after update @auth directive - an actual plan with details would be nice too since Hypermode took over.
3. SvelteKit
- TypeScript REPL - The fact that a new project defaults to JSDoc, even though statistically MOST people use TS is telling. This would save so much time on Stack Over Flow... (web socket support next).
4. Firebase
- Search without external product. I don't want to use Algolia. I built a search package, but it is a hack and uses lots of space.
5. Hasura
- Nested Mutation - 113 thumbs up, and still open since 2019... another case of not listening to the users?
6. Prisma
Web Sockets / Real Time built in. Again, 409 up votes on Github, and they offer 3rd party support. Version 1 had this. Edge Functions DO support web sockets. Let's get this done!
7. Postgres
Fix, and don't ignore, the outdated Multi-Version Concurrency Control.
8. mySQL
Row (and Column) Level Security - I don't care what a certain YouTuber says.
9. Supabase
Despite what most people think, postgREST is incredibly powerful. I know, I am a sponsor. I specifically am trying to get nested mutation built-in. Currently, queries are probably more powerful than Hasura or Prisma, but most people don't know this.
10. CloudFlare
Assuming SWR (stale while revalidate) is working, we could definitely use the ability to edit images in workers. We would need support for node canvas or something similar.
11. Vercel
Edge On Demand Revalidation. Nuff said.
12. Angular
Deploy to all Edge Functions, no nodejs / commonjs dependencies. I'm still waiting for an Angular Team Member's reply... which is really in reference to this.
13. React
Signals? apparently fine grained reactivity.
14. Tailwind
More built in functions that mirror native CSS, especially in the animation department, and the shapes / effects department.
15. Fireship
New courses!
16. EdgeDB
Get some good marketing because this thing is not well know, it looks awesome! - Cloud Version as well!
17. SurrealDB
Get Cloud Version going!
18 Mongo DB
A Fully secure JS package like Firebase with real time subscriptions built in. Mongoose for the front end please!
19 SolidJS
Solid Start V1 Please!
20 AnalogJS
Umm, ng templates look awesome! Let's get it working like a charm!
21 Qwik
Let's get a UI Framework built... anyone!?
That's all she wrote for now!
What is on your list?
