KaibanJS: Because JavaScript Deserves Better AI Tools
Hey everyone, I've got something to share that's been consuming my life for the past two months...
When I say consuming, I mean it.
We're talking 60-hour weeks and every single weekend. And missed my kids a lot during bedtime story time. But me and a couple of friends were building something I believe will push JavaScript significantly forward.
Why put myself through this?
It's simple: JavaScript deserves a better AI ecosystem.
It breaks my heart to see how limited our options are. You see, JS and I go way back – 15 years to be exact. I fell head over heels for it in my 3rd year of college, thanks to Lidiexy Alonso, Yuri Victor Munayev, and Caridy Patiño. Since then, it's been my mission to push JS to its limits.
I have to thanks JS so many things:
It helped me get out of Cuba
It got me a job as a paperless immigrant in Venezuela
It led to my first open source project, AniJS
It landed me my first job in the US at EveryMundo
It enabled me to create my first company, FRONT10
Fast forward to now, and here we are in the AI revolution. But when I looked for AI tools built for JS developers like us, I hit a wall. Sure, there are a few options out there, but nothing that truly speaks our language.
Nothing that harnesses the full power of what we've built in the JS ecosystem:
Reactive state management for dynamic user interactions
Component-based architectures for rapid development
Comprehensive testing frameworks ensuring robust applications
A vast npm ecosystem with solutions for almost any need
The ability to go from concept to global deployment in minutes
Write once, run anywhere - from browsers to servers to mobile
So, after months of waiting and searching and coming up empty-handed, I made a decision that's turned my life upside down:
If the perfect AI framework for JS doesn't exist, I'll create it myself.
That's what these past two months have been about. Every line of code, every architecture decision, every sleepless night – it's all been in service of giving our JavaScript community the AI tools we deserve.
That's why I'm excited to introduce KaibanJS.
While we're still putting the finishing touches on it, I can't wait to share it with you all.
In the coming weeks, I'll be reaching out to many of you for feedback and early testing. Your insights will be crucial in shaping this tool that I believe will revolutionize how we approach AI in JavaScript.
Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to be part of something big.
The future of AI in JavaScript is about to change, and you're invited to be at the forefront.
