    I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo. It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies. Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element. At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.…

    Hi HN! I created this lib in the need of a simple and tiny framework to easily do AJAX-style navigation &#x2F; replacement of fragments in the page, in a web application. For people who don't want to use client-side-rendering and complex frameworks à la React, there are nowadays a few "HTML-over-the-wire" libraries, like HTMX, Unpoly or this super-tiny one Swap.js :) One other key thing is that no external tool is needed: no bundler, no webpack, no TypeScript compiler, no minification needed. Just write HTML, JS (+ your preferred server-side language: PHP, Python, etc.) and it works. The…

    Hey everyone! I'm Rob and I want to share what I've built - a solid ledger behind simple API: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;decimals.app The ledger is a key piece of any financial system and is easy to get the design wrong, resulting in troubles for making sure money movements are adding up. I took a lot of inspiration from good designs from Square, Uber, and others for the scalability and security aspects. And on the usability side, I applied many concepts from the Ledger CLI, making it very easy to use. I'm really happy I get to show this to you all, thank you for reading about it! Please let me know…

    This is a browser front-end (ultra simple) for Chrome, built using puppeteer. I like it because it provides a usable single browser tab (that conveniently crashes on certificate errors (thanks to puppeteers default flags which I haven't altered here)), without using any JS scripting on the client side. There's some clever hacks to get that to work, including stylesheet media queries (to zero in on the correct viewport dimensions), and MJPEG, a crazy HTTP keep-alive way to stream JPEG frames of a video, favored by old-style CCTV&#x2F;security&#x2F;web cameras allegedly. I noticed it went from…
