2024 Web Development Wish List

#discuss #webdev

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Fix, and don't ignore, the outdated Multi-Version Concurrency Control.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.
