1. Ink
Ink provides the same component-based UI building experience that React offers in the browser, but for command-line apps. It uses Yoga to build Flexbox layouts in the terminal, so most CSS-like props are available in Ink as well. If you are already familiar with React, you already know Ink.

GPT-3 Sandbox: Turn your ideas into demos in a matter of minutes
Initial release date: 19 July 2020
Note that this repository is not under any active development; just basic maintenance.
Description
The goal of this project is to enable users to create cool web demos using the newly released OpenAI GPT-3 API with just a few lines of Python.
This project addresses the following issues:
- Automatically formatting a user's inputs and outputs so that the model can effectively pattern-match
- Creating a web app for a user to deploy locally and showcase their idea
Here's a quick example of priming GPT to convert English to LaTeX:
# Construct GPT object and show some examples
gpt = GPT(engine="davinci"
temperature=0.5,
max_tokens=100)
gpt.add_example(Example('Two plus two equals four', '2 + 2 = 4'))
gpt.add_example(Example('The integral from zero to infinity', '\\int_0^{\\infty}'))
gpt.add_example(Example('The gradient of x squared plus two times x with respect to x', '\\nabla_x

…7. Stencil
Stencil is a simple compiler for generating Web Components and static site generated progressive web apps (PWA). Stencil was built by the Ionic team for its next generation of performant mobile and desktop Web Components.
ionic-team / stencil
A toolchain for building scalable, enterprise-ready component systems on top of TypeScript and Web Component standards. Stencil components can be distributed natively to React, Angular, Vue, and traditional web developers from a single, framework-agnostic codebase.
Stencil: A Compiler for Web Components and PWAs
npm init stencil
Stencil is a simple compiler for generating Web Components and static site generated progressive web apps (PWA). Stencil was built by the Ionic team for its next generation of performant mobile and desktop Web Components.
Stencil combines the best concepts of the most popular frontend frameworks into a compile-time rather than run-time tool. It takes TypeScript, JSX, an asynchronous rendering pipeline to ensure smooth running animations, lazy-loading out of the box, and generates 100% standards-based Web Components that run on both modern browsers and legacy browsers.
Stencil components are just Web Components, so they work in any major framework or with no framework at all. In many cases, Stencil can be used as a drop in replacement for traditional frontend frameworks given the capabilities now available in the browser, though using it as such is certainly not required.
