This Month in Solid: v2.0.0 Beta - is Over and Start v2 on the horizon 😎

Daniel Afonso — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Hello friends 👋

March is a wrap, and we had a fantastic month with some exciting news for Solid! v2.0.0 Beta is here, and the Start v2 roadmap is out!

So, let’s kick off a new edition of This Month in Solid 😎!

Solid Updates

v2.0.0 Beta - The is Over

March started out unexpectedly. After a long Experimental phase, Ryan announced that Solid 2.0 would enter Beta directly.

In a nutshell, here are the big ideas:

Async is first‑class
<Loading> is for initial readiness
Pending UI is an expression, not a flag
Mutations have a home
Derived state is a primitive
A more predictable scheduler
Dev guardrails
DOM model cleanup

This is a huge milestone and an exciting time in the Solid world. I highly recommend you check the release notes below, as the team worked to provide you with a great description of the big ideas, some tiny examples, breaking changes you’ll notice quickly, migration guides, and in-depth dives into specific topics.

Check the release notes: v2.0.0 Beta - The <Suspense> is Over

Roadmap Update: Start v2 and Ecosystem

Another exciting piece of news came from Atila halfway through March! The DeVinxi work is completed, and there are already production use cases of SolidStart v2! And the punchline is that this migration can be as simple as tweaking a max of 3 files.
Besides that, Atila provides an updated timeline of the blockers currently holding us back from moving into Beta and the impact on the ecosystem!

This Month in Solid: The Road to 2.0 is here, SolidStart 1.3.0 release 😎

Daniel Afonso — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:42:48 +0000

Hello friends 👋

Long time no see! We're back, and this time, we'll recap what you might have missed from January to February. Plus, there's an obvious tease about something dropped this week that you definitely shouldn't miss.

So, let’s kick off a new edition of This Month in Solid 😎!

Solid Updates

The Road to 2.0

We have been on the road for 2.0 for a while, and I know we are all very excited. Earlier in February, Ryan started a discussion on GitHub, sharing some of the features being worked on, and here are some of them:

Fine-grained non-nullable async
Mutable derivations
Derived signals
Lazy memos
Automatic batching
Immutable Diffable stores
Self-Healing ErrorBoundaries
Concurrent transitions

You can read more about it here:
github.com/solidjs/solid/discussions/2425

P.S. I know that, at the time of releasing this post, the Beta is out, but technically, it was released in March. I will talk more about that next month, but either way, go check it out: v2.0.0 Beta - The <Suspense> is Over

SolidStart v1.3.0 release

As we were ready to wrap up the month, Atila shared on Discord about a new version of SolidStart. There are a couple of dependency updates and patches there, but it also includes a new feature that will be the default on v2:

It adds JSON mode for seroval

So as of this version, you can opt to use regular JSON serializer. As a tradeoff, payload will be a bit larger and serialization can be slower. But this allows for stronger CSPs as eval() is not used as a custom serializer anymore.

Check it out here: github.com/solidjs/solid-start/releases/tag/%40solidjs%2Fstart%401.3.0

This Month in Solid #12: Gear 5, The Road for 2.0😎

Daniel Afonso — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:55:05 +0000

Hello friends 👋
It has been a year since This Month in Solid started and now we reached the twelfth issue.
Because of familiarity purposes, from now on I will start skipping how This Month in Solid works and get straight to business. So without any further ado, This Month in Solid #12.

Solid Updates

SolidStart v1.1.0 - Gear 5

I am biased but I love the name of this release!
It is the first post 1.0 minor release and besides the support for Vite 6 and some bug fixes, it also establishes a team that is working actively to support Start and establishes a partnership with Tanner Linsley.

You can read more about it here: github.com/solidjs/solid-start/releases/tag/%40solidjs%2Fstart%401.1.0

The Road to 2.0

You have waited for it, and now we are. The journey to Solid 2.0 is on the way.

For Solid 2.0 we are looking at features in a few key areas:

Fine-grained non-nullable async
Mutable derivations
Flush boundaries
Derived signals
Lazy memos
and more ...

You can read about more features and some of the phases we expect to go through here: github.com/solidjs/solid/discussions/2425

This Month in Solid #11: New Core Team member, Ryan does a tier list and more 😎

Daniel Afonso — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 16:17:43 +0000

Hello friends 👋
I know it is February already but let me start by wishing you all a happy new year! Given the lack of content during December, I decided to wait until February and compile everything from December to the end of January!
That said, it is time for the first of the year and our eleventh edition of This Month in Solid!
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Inspired by Ryan Carniato This Week in JavaScript and Sébastien Lorber This Week In React, I plan to publish a compilation of updates, posts, and videos about the Solid world at the end of every month.

Each post will be split in the following way:

Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, let's dive into our eleventh This Month in Solid without further ado.

Solid Updates

Dev Agrawal joins the Core Team

In December, we got a fantastic announcement: Dev Agrawal joined the Solid Core team!

// Detect dark theme var iframe = document.getElementById('tweet-1868710427569578241-583'); if (document.body.className.includes('dark-theme')) { iframe.src = "https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=1868710427569578241&theme=dark" }

For those of you who have been following Dev's journey, this was a long time coming and I can't wait to see all the amazing things Dev is bringing to the Solid world!

This Month in Solid #10: SolidHack 2024 Winners 😎

Daniel Afonso — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 16:13:39 +0000

Hello friends 👋
December is here, and with it, the tenth and last issue of the year of This Month in Solid!
I would like to apologize for the week's delay in posting this, but I decided it was better to wait for SolidHack to wrap up so that I could give you more content.
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Each post will be split in the following way:

Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, let's dive into our tenth This Month in Solid without further ado.

SolidHack 2024

SolidHack has wrapped up, and it was a ton of fun. There were so many submissions and collaborations, and, in the end, we ended up with more than 50 submissions between the Award Categories and the Challenges.

In the name of Solid Core and the DX team, we want to thank you all for participating and making SolidHack 2024 a huge success!

We also want to share a huge thank you to our sponsors Netlify and Sentry.

First, let's recap the awards claimed during November:

Now, on to the big winners!

Best SolidStart App: Giffium by Chris Griffing

Giffium is a tool to generate a socially shareable gif from a diff of two snippets of code/config.

Giffium was inspired by Shiki Magic Move and Carbon/Ray.so.

You can check it out here

Best Solid/SolidStart Ecosystem Utility: solid-socket by Dev Agrawal

Signals meets WebSockets.

Solid-Socket is an extension to SolidStart which adds realtime websocket capabilities over familiar signal based APIs.

Similar to "use server" in SolidStart, Solid-Socket adds a "use socket" which gets bundled and run in a stateful server, which means you have access to global state that lives as long as its host server, and any exported function get turned into RPC/Subscription calls over websockets.

Solid Socket also provides some powerful utilities that enable

Two way reactive communication
Fine grained updates using stores
Sync engine with incremental projections
Reactive persistance and server sync
Cookie-based authentication

You can check it out here

What about the other projects?

Well, I don't want anyone to be left out, so you can check all the submissions to SolidHack now in the Ecosystem Updates section 😄

This Month in Solid #8: Meta RFC, 1.9.0 and SolidHack begins 😎

Daniel Afonso — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 16:21:18 +0000

Hello friends 👋
October is here, and with it, the eighth issue of This Month in Solid!
This was a very busy month, from RFCs to new releases and starting SolidHack.
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Each post will be split in the following way:

Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.

Solid Updates

RFC - Metadata & JSX Head Tags

For a while, we have resorted to Solid-Meta to handle head tags. Meanwhile, a discussion emerged in which Ryan researched and proposed the possibility of having Solid Core handle this.

You can read more about it and leave your thoughts here: github.com/solidjs/solid/discussions/2294

Solid v1.9.0 - LGTM!

On the path to Solid 2.0, some adjustments and improvements need to be made. In this release, you should expect the following things:

Better JSX Validation
Improved Exports
Custom Element improvements
Support for handleEvent Syntax in Non-Delegated Events
and more

You can read more about it here: github.com/solidjs/solid/releases/tag/v1.9.0

SolidHack 2024 has started

SolidHack 2024 has started, and to match the hype and interest we are seeing from you, we have increased our prize pool to $20,000.

We also announced our Award Categories and our Challenges (exciting!!!)

This month, we announced something people have been looking forward to!
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Each post will be split in the following way:

Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, without further ado, let's dive into our seventh This Month in Solid.

This Month in Solid #5: Data APIs RFC 😎

Daniel Afonso — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 14:59:05 +0000

Hello friends 👋
July has arrived! This means it is time for the fifth issue of This Month in Solid.
June was a crazy month from a traveling perspective. A lot of conferences happened, and it was very tiring. Despite that, it was amazing as I got to hang out with many friends, especially these ones:

A lot of cool stuff was discussed that week, including the RFC mentioned in Solid updates.
Before we start looking at what happened, the usual review of how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Each post will be split in the following way:

Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.
Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.
Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.
Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, without further ado, let's dive into our fifth This Month in Solid.

Solid Updates

Router Data APIs RFC

As the adoption of Solid Router grows, it is time to listen to people's feedback and understand how we can improve the APIs. Because of that Ryan released an RFC that touches on the following points:

Rename load function to preload
Rename cache function
Have Response Helper's return Response Types
