Squire is an HTML5 rich text editor, which provides powerful cross-browser normalisation in a flexible lightweight package (only 16KB of JS after minification and gzip, with no dependencies!).

It was designed to handle email composition for the Fastmail web app. The most important consequence of this (and where Squire differs from most other modern rich text editors) is that it must handle arbitrary HTML, because it may be used to forward or quote emails from third-parties and must be able to preserve their HTML without breaking the formatting. This means that it can't use a more structured (but limited) internal data model (as most other modern HTML editors do) and the HTML remains the source-of-truth. The other consequence is excellent handling of multiple levels of blockquotes.

The Ultimate Express. Fastest http server with full Express compatibility, based on µWebSockets.

This library is a very fast re-implementation of Express.js 4. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Express.js, with the same API and functionality, while being much faster. It is not a fork of Express.js. To make sure µExpress matches behavior of Express in all cases, we run all tests with Express first, and then with µExpress and compare results to make sure they match.

npm install ultimate-express -> replace express with ultimate-express -> done

µWebSockets.js is a standards compliant web server written in 10,000 lines of C++. It is exposed to Node.js as a simple-to-use, native V8 addon and performs at least 10x that of Socket.IO, 8.5x that of Fastify. It makes up the core components of Bun and is the fastest standards compliant web server in the TechEmpower (not endorsed) benchmarks.
