    Hi! I made a React compatibility library for a Virtual DOM library (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aidenybai&#x2F;million). The idea is to have much faster rendering (a compiler optimizes virtual DOM beforehand) while ensuring the same developer experience React provides. This is very, VERY early stage, so be prepared for weird bugs &#x2F; plugin incompatibility &#x2F; etc. If you have any suggestions, I'd be more than happy if you replied in a comment with it! You can spin up the demo here >> https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stackblitz.com&#x2F;github&#x2F;aidenybai&#x2F;million-react-compat

    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 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:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=41451559

    Repo here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aidenybai&#x2F;million My name is Aiden Bai and I'm really interested in HCI research, particularly within user interface (UI) and web development. At the time of writing this, I'm a student at Camas High School. In July 2021, Million.js began as an experiment with Virtual DOM because I was curious with how UI libraries worked. I was frustrated with the lack of a modern, fast, and modular Virtual DOM library for JavaScript. Virtual DOM had been around for almost a decade, yet many Virtual DOM libraries still struggle with render speed compared to…

    BDC is a simple library for updating the DOM to match a javascript description. Does not require JSX or a compilation step. clobber( document.body, h("marquee", [ h("span", {"style": "font-weight: bold"}, "Hello"), ", ", h("blink", "world"), "!", ]), ); Very fast to first render, moderately slow on subsequent updates. Prompted by the post on millionjs, which compiles user code to hit the same outrageously small size target.

    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 :)
