ShadCB Tables, Open-Source Chess, and more! This week’s top open-source projects (April 22nd, 2024) #49
Hello friend 👋 ! I am back from the weekend with another set of exciting open-source projects for you to check out! This week is a bit of a shorter list, but I hope you can survive with that 😃

Please share your feedback with me!
“Chess” by code100x is an online chess (duh) game! Build using well-known technology like React for frontend, NodeJS for the backend, Typescript for typesafety, and Redis for storage of the game moves, this project is a great opportunity for you to contribute to a simple-ish web-dev project!

Crawling websites is hard. Handling subpages, dynamic content, and much more, it can be a monumental task to crawl websites, without targeting each one specifically.
FireCrawl takes care of all these problems. By simply giving a URL they will fully crawl any given website for you.
The project is open-source, so you should consider contributing.

You have probably tried Shadcn before, or at least heard of it. The project is filled with great components, but one thing that I felt was lacking was serverside support for the data table component.
I am not the only person who has thought this, someone went and created a solution for the problem. Shadcn Table is a single open-source component meant for use with ShadCN. The component makes serverside sorting, pagination, and filtering easy to implement.
