My first reaction was, first gill so now why this? But the docs are so good that I actually want to use it. After thr torture of anza docs and trying to make sense of web3 just 1.x vs kit, this is seriously well done

really cool! I've been playing with v2 for a while and I like the functional paradigm, but you quickly start writing your own wrappers for simple stuff esp when doing tests etc, having this on my toolkit would be a great help! Great job for the peeps on Helius on working on simplifying the DX!

This is similar to what I envisioned a few years ago with solutils, but didn't have enough funds to keep it going. Thank you for this awesome lib @mikemaccana!

I have switched to Kite. Kite>Gill>Kit>Web3.js v2>Web3.js legacy If you haven't started using @SolanaKite, you are wasting time. It allows you to do most Solana tasks in one step. If you are still using 'fs.readfileSync' to get your keypairs from file, you are really missing out. Built on @solana/kit with complete compatibility.

Docs that are written not generated

Solana founders are bald because they read documentation like "mintAuthority - defines the mint authority" and tear their hair out.

Kite has documentation that's genuinely helpful, right in Cursor AI, VSCode, Sublime or whatever editor you use.

From the
creator of @solana/helpers

Built on Solana's most popular high level library for web3.js, by the original creator and author.

Kite is the only update of @solana/helpers for kit.

Compatible with @solana/kit

Built on @solana/kit with complete compatibility.

Kite uses the same types as @solana/kit.

Kite is tiny, and you can easily ditch Kite and swap to raw kit, if you prefer. But you won't.
