Affinity.js – A simple view component library with store
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…

In plain words
Affinity.js is a lightweight view component library that lets developers build multiple self-contained components and a shared store without external dependencies. It uses vanilla DOM and JavaScript to create semantic HTML, featuring a simple template syntax for event binding and custom element reuse. The store automatically re-renders connected components when data changes, similar to Redux, making it useful for developers wanting a minimal framework alternative.

Hi! I made a React compatibility library for a Virtual DOM library (https://github.com/aidenybai/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 / plugin incompatibility / 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://stackblitz.com/github/aidenybai/million-react-compat
- UGUse Go's HTML/template to write React-like code2024 · ▲106
Hi all, I'm currently working on my hobby project, and one of the fun constraints I put in was to build using as less dependencies as possible. I chose Go as it has a really good standard library, and all went well for building backend. But for frontend, I was wondering whether I should break the constraint and go for React. I tried options like Web Components, but I really didn't like the ergonomics and I didn't want to use jQuery either. Out of curiosity, I was exploring Go's html/template package to see if I can write UIs in a React-like manner. I found most of the online docs using…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
