About Deno
Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly that uses V8 and is built in Rust. Deno comes with a manual which contains more in depth explanations about the more complex functions of the runtime, an introduction to the concepts that Deno is built on, details about the internals of Deno, how to embed Deno in your own application and how to extend Deno using Rust plugins. Next to the Deno runtime, Deno also provides a list of audited standard modules that are reviewed by the Deno maintainers and are guaranteed to work with a specific Deno version. These live in the denoland/deno_std repository.

TypeScript
TypeScript adds additional syntax to JavaScript to support a tighter integration with your editor. Catch errors early in your editor. TypeScript code converts to JavaScript, which runs anywhere JavaScript runs: In a browser, on Node.js or Deno and in your apps. TypeScript understands JavaScript and uses type inference to give you great tooling without additional code. TypeScript was used by 78% of the 2020 State of JS respondents, with 93% saying they would use it again. The most common kinds of errors that programmers write can be described as type errors: a certain kind of value was used where a different kind of value was expected. This could be due to simple typos, a failure to understand the API surface of a library, incorrect assumptions about runtime behavior, or other errors.

PDF-LIB
Create and modify PDF documents in any JavaScript environment. Create PDF documents from scratch, or modify existing PDF documents. Draw text, images, and vector graphics. Embed your own fonts. Even embed and draw pages from other PDFs. Written in TypeScript and compiled to pure JavaScript with no native dependencies. Works in any JavaScript runtime, including browsers, Node, Deno, and even React Native. Add, insert, and remove pages. Split a single PDF into separate ones. Or merge multiple PDFs into a single document. Create new forms or fill and read existing fields. Checkboxes, buttons, radio groups, dropdowns, option lists, and text fields are all supported. If you aren't using a package manager, UMD modules are available on the unpkg and jsDelivr CDNs. Note that only some PDF readers can view attachments. This includes Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, and Firefox. If you are using the CDN scripts in production, you should include a specific version number in the URL.

Tauri
Tauri is a framework that enables developers to build small, fast, secure, cross-platform applications by combining existing web front-ends with Rust-powered back-ends. It supports any JavaScript framework, so you don’t need to change your stack and leverages each operating system’s native web renderer to deliver app footprints as low as 600 KB. Deep inter-process communication bridges your JavaScript UI, Rust core logic, and native Swift or Kotlin components for seamless integration with system APIs. Security is built in from the ground up, with Rust at its center and a team-driven focus on hardening and innovation. The CLI scaffolds new projects via Bash, PowerShell, npm, Yarn, pnpm, Deno, Bun, or Cargo, and includes tools for bundling, templating, and secure defaults, all accessible through a simple “create-tauri-app” command.

Hanabi.rest
Hanabi.rest is an AI-based API building platform. Hanabi.rest creates multi-runtime APIs for web standards. In addition to operating on a live editor on the web, it generates code that works with Cloudflare, Fastly, Deno, Bun, Lagon, AWS, or Node.js. Build a REST API from natural language and screenshots using AI, deploy it on Cloudflare Workers, and immediately roll it out globally. Generates REST APIs from natural language and screenshots. With the live API editor, you can test database access and API endpoints from a sandboxed, secure environment. Share the created APIs using a URL. Publicly available APIs can be forked and further expanded or improved based on natural language. APIs created or shared can be dumped locally via CLI, allowing you to immediately set up a project for development and deployment. Simply import the npm package running in the environment as usual and the type definitions will be downloaded automatically.
