React
The most widely adopted interface library, with the largest talent pool. A safe default when hireability is the priority.
Technology
JavaScript and TypeScript development
JavaScript runs every web interface, and with TypeScript it scales to large, reliable applications. We build front-ends and full-stack products in it, and we lean on TypeScript so mistakes are caught while typing, not in production.
Where it fits
When JavaScript is the right choice
- You are building anything that runs in a browser, where JavaScript is the only native option.
- You want one language across the front-end and the back-end, so a smaller team can own the whole product.
- You need a rich, interactive interface: dashboards, editors, real-time updates.
- You want a huge ecosystem and talent pool, with TypeScript adding the safety larger apps need.
Where it does not
When we would reach for something else
- For heavy data processing, machine learning or AI, we keep that work in Python and let JavaScript handle the interface.
- For a simple brochure site, a managed website builder is cheaper than custom JavaScript.
- Without TypeScript, large JavaScript codebases get fragile, so for anything sizable we treat TypeScript as the default, not an option.
Our approach
How we build with JavaScript
We build interfaces and full-stack applications in TypeScript, the typed superset of JavaScript, so the editor catches whole classes of bugs before they ship. On the front-end we usually reach for Vue with Nuxt; on the server we use Node.js where sharing code and skills across the stack pays off. Whatever we choose, it is built to be tested, accessible and maintainable by your team.
The ecosystem
The JavaScript frameworks we work with
Vue
Our usual front-end choice: approachable, well-documented and fast, with a gentle learning curve for your team.
Angular
A full, opinionated framework that suits large, structured teams who want one official way to do things.
Node.js
JavaScript on the server, so the same people and sometimes the same code cover both ends of the product.
Next.js and Nuxt
Meta-frameworks that add routing, server rendering and SEO-friendly output on top of React and Vue, for fast sites that are also easy to find.
Common questions
JavaScript FAQ
It depends on your priorities. React has the biggest talent pool, Vue is the fastest to build in and our usual default, and Angular suits large, structured enterprise teams. We recommend based on hireability, the size of the app and your existing skills, not our preference.
TypeScript is JavaScript with a type system added. It compiles down to plain JavaScript but catches mistakes as you write code. For anything beyond a small script we use it by default, because it makes large codebases far safer to change.
Yes, that is one of JavaScript's strengths. With Node.js on the server, the same people, and sometimes the same code, can cover both ends, which keeps a smaller team productive.
