🤔 Motivation

A quick recap about the concept of Micro Frontends:

Techniques, strategies and recipes for building a modern web app with multiple teams using different JavaScript frameworks. — Micro Frontends

Qiankun was birthed internally in our group during the time web app development by distributed teams had turned to complete chaos. We faced every problem micro frontend was conceived to solve, so naturally, it became part of our solution.

The path was never easy, we stepped on every challenge there could possibly be. Just to name a few:

  • In what form do micro-apps publish static resources?
  • How does the framework integrate individual micro-apps?
  • How to ensure that sub-applications…

6. Pre-trained TensorFlow.js models

This repository hosts a set of pre-trained models that have been ported to TensorFlow.js. The models are hosted on NPM and unpkg so they can be used in any project out of the box. They can be used directly or used in a transfer learning setting with TensorFlow.js.

Pre-trained TensorFlow.js models

This repository hosts a set of pre-trained models that have been ported to TensorFlow.js.

The models are hosted on NPM and unpkg so they can be used in any project out of the box. They can be used directly or used in a transfer learning setting with TensorFlow.js.

To find out about APIs for models, look at the README in each of the respective directories. In general, we try to hide tensors so the API can be used by non-machine learning experts.

For those interested in contributing a model, please file a GitHub issue on tfjs to gauge interest. We are trying to add models that complement the existing set of models and can be used as building blocks in other apps.

Using Fluid Framework libraries

When taking a dependency on a Fluid Framework library's public APIs, we recommend using a ^ (caret) version range, such as ^1.3.4. While Fluid Framework libraries may use different ranges with interdependencies between other Fluid Framework libraries, library consumers should always prefer ^.

If using any of Fluid Framework's unstable APIs (for example, its beta APIs), we…

FingerprintJS is a source-available, client-side, browser fingerprinting library that queries browser attributes and computes a hashed visitor identifier from them. Unlike cookies and local storage, a fingerprint stays the same in incognito/private mode and even when browser data is purged.

FingerprintJS is available under a BSL license for non-production purposes.

FingerprintJS is different from Fingerprint Identification, our more detailed and accurate commercial product. See below for more information.

Demo

Visit https://fingerprintjs.github.io/fingerprintjs to see your visitor identifier.

Now, try visiting the same page in private / incognito mode and notice how the visitor identifier remains the same!

Getting Started

<script>
  // Initialize the agent at application startup.
  // If you're using an ad blocker or Brave/Firefox, this import will not work.
  // Please use the NPM package instead: https://t.ly/ORyXk
  const fpPromise = import('https://openfpcdn.io/fingerprintjs/v4')
