• Vanillajsx.com

  VanJS deserves a mention here! https://vanjs.org/ Another interesting thing is that other JSX libraries like Solid.JS also return DOM nodes, and I love that this idea is gaining traction The closer we get to the platform we're using, the better. Being removed by layers of abstractions CAN be useful, but in practice, I haven't found a use for abstracting away the platform. (yet.) Maybe huge projects like Facebook... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Pocketbase: Open-source back end in 1 file

  Depends on what you consider minimal, but I enjoy working with PocketBase and VanJS[1]. However there is no component library built in (if this is what you were asking for). [1]: https://vanjs.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• VanJS: A 0.9KB JavaScript UI framework

  Tbh, you don't need JSX to know where things begin and end (if this is something really important for you): li(a({href: "https://vanjs.org/"}, "VanJS")/a/)/li/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• VanJS: A 0.9KB JavaScript UI framework

  > How can something feel sugar-ish if it's actually more verbose than ordinary JS code? I personally find XML much easier to parse than a lot of nested callbacks and I especially like that content is always inside tags, rather than another argument as part of the library's functions. p("Hello, world") is readable enough, but as soon as you start adding html attributes, it becomes less legible to me: li(a({href:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Want to help with Cardboard? JS/TS Vanilla Reactive Framework

  It's a very simple, yet powerful reactive framework, to create web applications without the need to write any HTML. You don't need to build, use JSX, or compile. It works out of the box, and it's plain JS. Similar to VanJS in philosophy but with another flavour, and different features. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• An Improved Unix Terminal – Demo App for VanJS

  A web-based Unix terminal with notable improvements, built with VanJS - https://vanjs.org/. Under 300 lines in total. We've seen numerous efforts to bring in more modernized terminals and shells. VanJS goes with the other direction. Why not making building UI apps as simple as CLI programs so most of us aren't confined to the limitations of terminals? Indeed, even for the quest of modernizing terminals, VanJS is... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• ArrowJs: Reactivity Without the Framework

  Https://vanjs.org is another attempt for the goal. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Anyone else notice that HN isn’t full of JavaScript frameworks lately?

  Https://vanjs.org is another example in that direction. It illustrates that it's even possible to have a full-fledged solution of composing complex reactive DOM tree with just plain JavaScript functions. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
