What do LLMs do with validation libraries? It turns out a whole lot!

1,018,266 downloads in ONE DAY for @valibot.dev! 📈

Thank you! This little schema library means a lot to me, and seeing this support is unreal! 🙏

Let’s keep building safer, lighter TS apps together. v1.3 coming soon with even more goodies. 🔧

Maybe our new StandardJSONSchema spec could solve that: standardschema.dev

Thrilled to be on @devtools.fm talking Valibot's origins, the Standard Schema collab with Zod/ArkType creators, launching Formisch, and why AI needs better schema metadata!

If schema validation, forms, or future dev tools excite you – this one's for you 👀

What do you think? Loving it? Hating something?

Brutally honest feedback welcome — let’s make this the form library that finally fixes the JavaScript form game for good. 🙌

formisch.dev
Formisch: The modular and type-safe form library for any framework
Formisch is a schema-based, headless form library for JS frameworks. It manages form state and validation. It is type-safe, fast by default and its bundle size is small due to its modular design.

Who’s actually tried @formisch.dev so far? 👀🧱

This is the kind of clean, type-safe form code you get in React, SolidJS, Vue, Svelte and co — schema-powered, headless, stupidly small bundle size. 🪄

I build something with @convex.dev, @tanstack.com start, @shadcn.com, @valibot.dev and @formisch.dev this weekend. It was fun!

If you build React forms and hate fighting state/validation — give Formisch a spin. I genuinely think it's the future. 🌱

Try it: formisch.dev/react/guides...

Just shipped fresh improvements to the @react.dev version of @formisch.dev this weekend! 🚀

Better integration, smoother APIs, and of course full type-safety + tiny bundle size. ⚡️
February 2, 2026 at 3:53 AM
We just added onInput/onChange props to @formisch.dev's field hook & component. Now, integrating custom UI libs (like date pickers) is a breeze! 🪄

Check out this seamless example:

Who’s planning to try it on their next form? 👀

@vuejs.org fam, huge thank you! 🙏

The Vue community is showing some love for @formisch.dev lately 📈

🤏 soooo close to 1M npm downloads on a single day!

That's very strange. I would love to know where it is coming from. Is Zod still bundled somehow?
January 27, 2026 at 7:45 PM
Cool! 🙌 If you're interested, you could add a dedicated migration skill to our repository with all the learnings.

valibot.dev/guides/migra...
Migrate from Zod
Migrating from Zod to Valibot is very easy in most cases since both APIs have a lot of similarities.
