In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN, We just released v5 of LemonadeJS, a micro-reactive library (~5.5KB compressed, no dependencies) that brings reactivity, scoped state, and JSX support to browser-native JavaScript. Key Features in v5: - Private reactive state for components - Scoped events for modularity - JSX support (via a Babel plugin)…

  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 &#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…

  Cami.js – A no build, web component based reactive framework2023 · github.com · ▲113

  Hi Everyone! My main motivation for making this was that I wanted something as powerful as Svelte or React but I wanted no build steps, no JSON API, and I wanted something as close to vanilla js as much as possible. I'm mainly a backend developer, and I wanted to simply return html with some interactive islands when I need to (whose components get 'hydrated' with by backend language's templates). Some key ideas: • It's centered around light dom web components • Uses a "reactive element", which uses observables for fine-grained reactivity • Rendering is done through lit-html's tagged…

  Talanoa▲341

  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…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
