Zod’s bundle size grows with each release. Valibot will always stay below 1 kB for simple schemas and below 2 kB for more complex ones.

Version 1.8 of Valibot's toJsonSchema package is now available. It comes with many fixes and improvements! 🧩

0151

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 10/09/2026

Valibot v1.5 is 20x faster at creating schemas. This makes it more than 70x faster than Zod for schema creation.

Valibot's toJsonSchema package is about to pass 1M daily downloads on npm 🙏

Valibot and Formisch have been accepted into @cloudflare.social's Project Alexandria. After optimizing our docs for coding agents, we expect strong traffic growth over the coming months. Cloudflare now covers the infrastructure for that. Thank you!

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 14/08/2026

Standard Schema passed 100M weekly downloads on @npmjs.com. I think it is among the fastest growing npm packages of all time.

Standard Schema is about to hit 100M weekly downloads on npm 👀 @colinhacks.com @ssalbdivad.dev

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 03/08/2026

I never imagined seeing this one day. GitHub now shows 100K+ public repositories using @valibot.dev. I'm not sure how precise that number is, but it's a huge milestone either way.

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 01/08/2026

@formisch.dev is now available for 8 frameworks. It uses no runtime adapter and incurs no abstraction tax. You can expect great DX, native performance, and a small bundle size. ⚡️

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 24/07/2026

The @formisch.dev docs are now agent optimized too. Please send your agent over and let him write some forms! 🧱

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 24/07/2026

Update: We are at 💯 now 😎

0130

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 24/07/2026

We improved the @valibot.dev docs for coding agents. Expect that generating Valibot schemas will get even better going forward. We also implemented a MCP server that you can give to your agent.

Hey folks 👋 Quick reintroduction for anyone who is new here: I am Fabian, a German who traded Baden-Württemberg for Brooklyn. For the last few years I have been building a small, but important foundation that quietly runs under a lot of TypeScript apps: schema validation and form state.

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 09/07/2026

Valibot surpassed Yup in weekly downloads. I am curious to see how long it will take to surpass Joi.

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 06/07/2026

After our partnership with @vercel.com ended a few months ago, I was curious to try out other solutions. Currently, Valibot and Formisch are running on @cloudflare.social. Thank you Vercel and Cloudflare for hosting our docs!

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 27/06/2026

Thank you for 1,000 stars for @formisch.dev on GitHub. This is my fourth project to hit this milestone. I really appreciate the support and interest in our work!

In the world of AI agents, it's great to see more and more of you reading the Formisch docs! Thank you! We're working hard to make it the best form library for the TS ecosystem. formisch.dev

Formisch + shadcn/ui, end to end 1️⃣ Define your Valibot schema 2️⃣ Spread field.props onto <Input> 3️⃣ map field.errors into <FieldError> Valibot validates. shadcn/ui renders. Formisch wires them together. Example:

Valibot passed 10M weekly downloads

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 08/05/2026

Valibot crossing yup in weekly downloads soon. Milestones like this are easy to misread. Yup didn't lose. It won so hard that schema validation became table stakes, and a modular successor was even possible. The whole field owes them. Just trying to add the next chapter. 🧩

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 08/05/2026

Happy to see more and more devs are taking a look at @formisch.dev. Starting a new open source project and grow it organically isn’t easy. Thank you for 750 stars! I will start working on our v1 release soon.

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 08/05/2026

@formisch.dev is featured in the JavaScript Weekly newsletter 🌱

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 01/05/2026

The number of npm downloads of Valibot has grown significantly recently. Great to see that! I plan to roll out various TypeScript and runtime performance improvements with @valibot.dev v1.4.

They said founding engineer was a full-stack role. They did not specify which stack. 😅

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 21/04/2026

Big week: we officially moved into our new NY office 🗽 Now the fun part begins. I'm starting to build our engineering team from the ground up, and we're looking for talented software engineers who get excited about hard problems, tight loops, and shipping real things fast.

1283

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 13/04/2026

This chart is insane 🤯 @valibot.dev's toJsonSchema package went from ~20k/week to over 1M/week since January. That's not linear growth. That's "something big quietly adopted us" growth.

0180

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 09/04/2026

What a ride! San Francisco was intense — but incredibly productive. We’re back in 🗽 New York and moving into our first office next week. At 2,500 sq ft, we’ve got room to spare — so we’re thinking about hosting open-source and AI meetups. Stay tuned. ⚡️

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 26/03/2026

Last week I met @misko.dev in San Francisco 🌅 Three years ago we connected randomly on Discord — I had no idea who he was. Fast-forward: he (together with @ryansolid.bsky.social) supervised my bachelor thesis, which became Valibot. 🧩

2322

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 23/03/2026

New chapter unlocked: I’m now a founding engineer. Super pumped to build something big from the ground up! 🧩 DM or reply if you’re in SF and into web dev, open source, or startups — let’s connect! ⚡️

Valibot's toJsonSchema package is growing fast 🔥

Valibot's modularity lets you build schemas like Lego 🧩

1240

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 20/02/2026

Valibot shines in invalid data parsing! ⏱️ At 29 μs, it's over 3x faster than Zod (93 μs) and ArkType (97 μs) in our benchmarks. 😎

2150

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 16/02/2026

Ever chained validations and transforms without type headaches? @valibot.dev's pipe() does it all in one flow – modular, tree-shakable, and blazing fast. ⚡️

0140

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 13/02/2026

Ever imported a full schema lib just for email checks? 😅 Valibot's modularity fixes that. Only <1kb gzipped. Type-safe. Tree-shakable. 🪄 What’s the smallest schema you’ve ever shipped?

0131

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 12/02/2026

Quick @valibot.dev refresh: branded types are an underrated gem for catching stringly-typed bugs early 🪄 Gives you nominal typing with zero runtime cost. Super useful in large codebases. 🧩 What’s your favorite lesser-known Valibot trick? 🙏

141

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 04/02/2026

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. 🔧

1221

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 03/02/2026

npmx.dev looks amazing! Great job!

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 02/02/2026

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. 🪄

1100

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 31/01/2026

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:

Fabian Hiller @fabianhiller.com · 29/01/2026

@vuejs.org fam, huge thank you! 🙏 The Vue community is showing some love for @formisch.dev lately 📈 Schema-based, type-safe, headless form library for Vue — clean, fast, and developer-friendly 🧱 #VueJS #Vue3 #TypeScript #Forms
