  Aberdeen – An elegant approach to reactive UIs2025 · aberdeenjs.org · ▲224

  Yes, another reactive UI framework for JavaScript. Bear with me, please... :-) I 'invented' the concept for this back in 2011, and it was used (as a proprietary lib) in various startups. Even though many similar open source libs have been released since, and boy have I tried a lot of them, none have been able to capture the elegance and DX of what we had back then. I might be biased though. :-) So I started creating a cleaned-up, modern, TypeScript, open source implementation for the concept about five years ago. After many iterations, working on the project on and off, I'm finally happy…

  GrainJS – a light TypeScript web frameworkDec 2025 · gristlabs.github.io · ▲5

  GrainJS is a JavaScript / TypeScript library for building dynamic web applications. - It's in part inspired by React, but based on observables (like Knockout) instead of virtual dom. - It is lightweight, has no dependencies, and takes only ~30KB minified. - It needs no special tooling. It's nothing more than a library. - It supports convenient DOM-building in JS, event dispatching, DOM event subscriptions, 9disposable components, and in-code CSS styling. - It's fully typed for use with TypeScript. - It's proven its worth by powering Grist's rich frontend app. Source code:…

  Swap.js – a JavaScript micro-framework (HTML fragments over the wire)2023 · github.com · ▲127

  Hi HN! I created this lib in the need of a simple and tiny framework to easily do AJAX-style navigation / 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…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi 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…
