Tiny (300B) and 20x faster alternative to React classNames

In plain words

Tiny is a 300-byte JavaScript utility that serves as a lightweight alternative to React's classNames library. It helps developers conditionally apply CSS class names to elements, running 20 times faster than the original. The tool is designed for developers working with React or vanilla JavaScript who need to manage dynamic class assignment efficiently while minimizing bundle size impact.

  Classix – The fastest and tiniest utility for joining classNames2022 · github.com · ▲6

  classix is a npm package for joining classNames, typically used with React. It is much smaller and faster than alternative libraries: clsx and classnames. Comparison: https://github.com/alexnault/classix#comparison What's more, classix only accepts string expressions as argument (no objects). This simplification of the API enforces a single and consistent way of joining classNames, for teams and solo developers.

I end up creating a simple App to illustrate how to use the new createState function and custom components in a React like manner.

  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…
