Frontend Stack ​

Contonest’s frontend is built on SolidJS, avoiding unnecessary React complexities to ensure small bundle sizes and fast performance. The entire project is written in TypeScript for type safety and maintainability.

Core Framework ​

  • SolidJS – Reactive UI library providing fine-grained reactivity without virtual DOM overhead.
  • @tanstack/solid-virtual – Virtualized lists for efficiently rendering long contest or submission lists.
  • @solidjs/router – Handles page navigation inside the Mini App.

Telegram & TON Integration ​

  • @telegram-apps/sdk-solid – Full access to Telegram Mini Apps APIs and events.
  • @tonconnect/sdk & @tonconnect/ui – Handle TON payments and entry fees directly in the app.

Text Editing & Media Handling ​

  • pell – Lightweight bare rich-text editor.
  • tippy.js – Tooltips for UI hints and editor action buttons.
  • dompurify – Sanitizes user-generated content.
  • snarkdown – Converts Markdown input to HTML.
  • cropperjs – Image cropping for contest images or avatars.

Animations & Effects ​

  • js-confetti – Celebration effects.
  • gsap – Advanced animations where needed.
  • pako + custom WASM ThorVG build – Render Lottie/TGS animations by inflating gzip-compressed TGS files to JSON.
  • Web Workers – Used to render Lottie animations and contest themes (backdrops + symbols) without blocking the UI.

Utilities ​

  • swiper – Sliders and tabbed interfaces.
  • dayjs – Lightweight date and time formatting.
  • uuid – Generate unique IDs for contests, submissions, and participants.
  • sortablejs & solid-sortablejs – Drag-and-drop functionality.
  • solid-icons – Collection of UI icons.
  • solid-toast – Toast messages and notifications.
  • plausible-tracker – Custom server-based analytics for user interactions.

Styling & Tooling ​

  • SCSS + autoprefixer – Flexible styling and responsive layouts.
  • Biome – Linting and formatting across the project.
  • Vite – Fast bundler and development server.

Internationalization ​

  • @solid-primitives/i18n – Multilingual support using standard i18n practices.

This stack ensures Contonest’s frontend is fast, compact, and Telegram-native, while supporting rich content, animations, and secure payments.
