## [The Plakar Frontend, Explained](https://plakar.io/posts/plakar-ui-series/index.md)

- [I used to think frontend was easy](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-series-intro/index.md): I’m a backend developer who ended up building a frontend. This series explains the Plakar UI stack — what’s in it, why it’s structured the way it is, and why it’s not as scary as the node_modules folder suggests.
- [Plakar UI #1: pnpm and Turborepo](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-pnpm-turborepo/index.md): How and why we set up the Plakar UI as a monorepo using pnpm for strict dependency management and Turborepo for fast, cached task orchestration.
- [Plakar UI #2: React](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-react/index.md): Why React exists and what problems it actually solves — explained to backend developers who know Go and are curious about how modern frontend UIs are built.
- [Plakar UI #3: TypeScript](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-typescript/index.md): Two TypeScript features that will surprise Go developers: incremental refactoring without blocking the compiler, and discriminated unions with automatic type narrowing.
- [Plakar UI #4: Zod](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-zod/index.md): TypeScript types only protect your own code — Zod validates data at runtime API boundaries, turning silent undefined bugs into immediate, descriptive parse errors.
- [Plakar UI #5: TanStack Query](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-tanstack-query/index.md): How TanStack Query handles all HTTP requests in Plakar UI — automatic caching, deduplication, background refetching, and cache invalidation after mutations.
- [Plakar UI #6: TanStack Form](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-tanstack-form/index.md): How TanStack Form and the AppField pattern turn forms from a copy-paste nightmare into composable, declarative building blocks with type-safe validation.
- [Plakar UI #7: React Aria Components](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-react-aria-components/index.md): Why we use React Aria Components as the foundation for our UI library — and why building accessible, keyboard-navigable widgets from scratch is much harder than it looks.
- [Plakar UI #8: TanStack Table](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-tanstack-table/index.md): How TanStack Table gives us a headless, fully type-safe data grid — with sorting, filtering, and pagination — without dictating how anything looks.
- [Plakar UI #9: TanStack Router](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-tanstack-router/index.md): How TanStack Router brings compile-time safety to client-side routing — broken links, missing params, and wrong search params are all caught before the code ships.
- [Plakar UI #10: Storybook](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-storybook/index.md): How we use Storybook to develop, document, and visually test our UI component library in isolation, independent of application logic.
- [Plakar UI #11: Testing Strategy](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-testing-strategy/index.md): How we test the Plakar UI — unit tests for components, integration tests for user flows, and why we draw the line where we do.
- [Plakar UI #12: The Build Process](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-build-process/index.md): How we bundle and ship the Plakar UI — Vite, code splitting, environment configs, and what happens between writing code and serving it to users.
- [Plakar UI: Conclusion](https://plakar.io/posts/2026-05-25/plakar-ui-series-conclusion/index.md): Wrapping up the series — what we covered, the common thread running through every tool choice, and what comes next.
