Welcome to the overview, in which we’ll take a closer look at JavaScript UI libraries that offer ready-made interface components – tables, forms, charts, calendars, and other building blocks. All these pre-made widgets are of great help when we want to assemble web applications faster. I intentionally narrowed the focus of this article – we’ll not be touching large application frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue, because they solve a different set of problems and define the overall architecture rather than individual UI elements.

As tradition goes, we’re celebrating Webix’s birthday with cake at the office and special discounts for our customers. While we can’t send you a slice of birthday cake, we can offer new customers anniversary discount codes on every Webix package.

TL;DR: Reviewed and compared five best MIT-licensed open-source JavaScript Gantt charts – DHTMLX Gantt Community Edition, SVAR React Gantt, Frappe Gantt, gantt-task-react, and ngx-gantt – outlining their strengths, limitations, and ideal use cases.

What’s the secret behind the success of AI-powered development? Well, for starters, they make development faster, remove a lot of routine work, and give you more room to experiment.

But even with all that convenience, they still have one built-in limitation: they depend on static training data. Once a model is trained, it stops learning on its own – it won’t magically notice new widgets, API changes, or configuration updates. So even when an assistant sounds perfectly confident, there’s a good chance it’s pulling its answer from an older snapshot of reality.

Today, we are excited to introduce Webix 11.4, bringing a fresh wave of enhancements and upgrades across the library. This release delivers new features in Core, Kanban, and Rich Text Editor – with the SpreadSheet widget as the main highlight, as it comes with major updates to both functionality and APIs. No time to waste – let’s take a detailed look at what’s new.

TL;DR: This article includes detailed performance metrics and interactive demos that showcase rendering speed, DOM stability, scrolling smoothness, and real-world usage scenarios. Webix Grid stays fast and responsive even with massive datasets and real-time updates. Its efficient rendering and stable performance make it a reliable choice for data-heavy apps.

Webix 11.3 is here bursting with updates! In this release, we introduced Core enhancements, exciting new features in Rich Text Editor, as well as extensive improvements across the library. Optimized rendering for touch devices and smarter Colorboard in Core, Markdown support and customizable context menu in Rich Text Editor, and much more. Below, we’ll go through all the key upgrades in detail.

Everyone has heard the same warning on repeat “AI is coming for junior devs.” The rules are changing faster than anyone expected. You can dislike it or ignore it, but AI is already reshaping the job landscape for developers. Yet before we jump to conclusions about being “replaced”, we decided to ask those who actually feel the change in their daily work. Developers who left the junior stage behind years ago and grew into mid and senior engineers. We asked Webix developers a few bold questions about what really happens to their workflow now that AI is fully in the picture.

There is a wonderful tradition we are happy to carry on – each year we announce Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and this year is not an exception.

Welcome to the generation of AI, where you can work smarter and faster. Gone are the days when you needed to build stuff from scratch. Everything in the technology space is now simplified.
