Products that do what A.DOM – A tiny markup language with reactive components does
Hi everyone, After four years, I'm finally open sourcing my little markup language that compiles directly to HTML, and has all the "modern" features built into the core, (reactive components, server side rendering, modules, bundling, etc.). No metaframework required! Feels like I really have something here, I'd love your feedback :)

with affinity you can make multiple apps (components eventually) and store (ala redux) - while a store can be shared through apps. This started as a case study and as a small reusable code for creating self contained dom elements with functionality - during the time of development, ideas and inspiration came from angular, react and vuejs. suggestions and feedback is mostly welcomed. The interesting challenges were finding ways for these topics: 1. create a component lib using dom and js only, without any 3rd party . 2. producing semantic html in dom . 3. allow template micro syntax (using…

eno [1] - A modern plaintext language w/ libraries [2] for JavaScript, Python, Ruby & soon more! We migrated a big relational research database to a file-based solution - requirements were: - Super fast and easy editability for users - Highest performance for parsing/validating >10K documents on every user change. Our trials with YAML/TOML showed us that we wanted something both faster [3][4] and easier [4], something tailored for file-based content management ... and after months of research & development it's now publicly available (under MIT license) for everyone! Last but…

Hi everyone, I've been working on this thing for a while. It transpiles Haml into Ruby, and then it streams patches to the browser which update the DOM. There is a memory leak in s.rb, which I'm not really sure how to solve. Seems like objects stay alive for longer than they should because of circular references or something but I'm not sure what's going on to be honest. I think this approach has potential though.

Hey All, It isn't 100% complete yet, but I've decided to cut a 0.0.1 release for IntercoolerJS: http://intercoolerjs.org/ Intercooler is a Partial View Controller framework, where AJAX responses are HTML fragments (partials) that are swapped in for existing content, based roughly on the Basecamp 2 approach. If anyone else is interested in working on or using the project, please let me know: there is still tons of interesting work to do (e.g. back-button/pushState() support) I think that, for many apps, this might be a good way to get 90% of the UX advantages of a thick…

Author of Mark Notation here. Mark is a unified notation for both object and markup data, combining the best of JSON, HTML, and XML with a clean syntax and succinct data model. I'm glad to announce the 1.0 Release of Mark. This release is just the start of a long journey to make web a better platform to store and exchange data. Your feedback welcome!

Hey everyone! Some time ago I was analyzing why React apps are so hard to optimize, and came to a conclusion that the lack of atomic updates is the culprit. I made an experimental library which basically updates everything in place directly in HTML. At some point I became aware that Solidjs exists, which is a very similar idea, but at the end of the day I realized my approach to API is quite different and warrants the existence of my library (my state primitive allows selector subscriptions, array iterators return a state primitive with the element, allowing to never re-render the whole…

Hey HN! I think _hyperscript is an insanely cool language, and while designed for simple front-end DOM interactions, I thought it would be a cool back-end scripting language as well. So, I slapped together a TODO app with a _hyperscript bootstrapping script based on the original repository's node-hyperscript example. My repo isn't clean, just something I worked out over a weekend to prove the concept, also an excuse to play with htmx. :) Please read the README, and let me know how, if anyone's interested, I can work in some of my tweaks to the original repository. I'm kind of a noob with…

Hey all, I'm a big fan of the HTML-first + Progressive Enhancement approach to UI development! For a background: 1. I like to be able to write HTML by default and progressively add JavaScript (and, in the same way, progressively involve tooling) instead of go ahead of the problem by going the other way around! 2. Also turns out that UIs are more resilient when built on the same principles: - given how browsers process web pages: HTML initially, then JavaScript eventually; with the bulk of the page being best done at the initial phase - and given how, on a more general note, performance is a…

https://github.com/PlumeCat/tack Hi HN! Tack is a scripting language I've been working on sporadically for the past year or so, and intensely for the past few weeks. It originated out of a desire for something that was like Lua, but with a more familiar syntax, and without some of the other surprises in Lua such as the 1-indexed tables. It's also been a great learning project, and a very satisfying challenge! While the current version is early beta at best, I hope to continue working on it and maybe see some adoption. Despite the relative lack of optimization, I'm very…

Hi HN! I built lobster.js which is an extended Markdown parser that renders directly in the browser — no build tool, no framework, no configuration. The entire setup is a single script tag: import { loadMarkdown } from "https://hacknock.github.io/lobsterjs/lobster.js"; loadMarkdown("./content.md", document.getElementById("content")); It's particularly useful for GitHub Pages sites where you want Markdown-driven content without pulling in Jekyll or Hugo. --- What makes it different from marked.js or markdown-it: Standard parsers convert Markdown to HTML — that's it.…

Hi everyone, the other day I was here cause I thought I came up with a neat way of creating HTML via JavaScript [1] - After some iterations, I'm quite content with the code I wrote. Since I intend to use this in my personal projects, I thought others might as well. 1 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41451559
