    Hibiki HTML – New frontend framework – no scaffolding, no Webpack▲232

    Source https://github.com/dashborg/hibiki | Interactive Tutorial https://playground.hibikihtml.com/tutorial/ I love JavaScript, but for many projects -- especially internal tools and prototypes -- setting up a full frontend JavaScript stack (npm, webpack, babel, create-react-app, redux) and all of their configuration files, folders, and scaffolding is overkill.

    Mitata – Benchmarking tooling for JavaScript▲93

    I always had a sweet tooth for how easy it is to use google/benchmark, but when working with js, current libraries didn't feel right and some were not even accurate enough, so I decided to create my own library to make JavaScript benchmarking tooling better. With more free time, I finally implemented all features I wished for in 1.0.0 and made a lightweight C++ single-header version for moments when google/benchmark is too much. Hope this library helps you as much as it does me.
