Million.js v2.0.0

An extremely fast virtual DOM - React up to 70% faster

Million.js v2.0.0 launched on March 29, 2023 with 98 votes, #591 of 5,007 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

What it does

Million is an extremely fast and lightweight virtual DOM that makes React up to 70% faster. Million makes creating user interfaces as easy (It's just React!), but with faster rendering and loading speeds. TL;DR: Imagine React at the speed of raw JavaScript.

    In brief: I'm Aiden, 18, and have spent the past 2 years of high school working on Million.js, an open source React alternative with 11K stars on GitHub and hundreds of thousands of npm downloads. Recently, I released automatic mode, which detects slow React components and automatically optimizes the reconciliation phase. It's still in beta but chugging along. It's around 70% faster than React on the JS Framework Benchmark and you can see how I did it here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;million.dev&#x2F;blog&#x2F;virtual-dom Interested?

    I made Million – It's a Virtual DOM made for the future2022 · ▲22

    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…

    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

    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…

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
