VanJS (Vanilla JavaScript): smallest reactive UI framework
Very cool! See also El, which is similarly sized, with an arguably more natural reactive interface: https://github.com/frameable/el

Building a Front End Framework; Reactivity, Composability with No Dependencies
Nice writeup. We're working on a framework with similar goals, here: https://github.com/frameable/el
Reactivity, composability, templates, etc with no dependencies, in ~150 SLOC.

Ask HN: What are the minimum features required to consider a framework complete?
We built El[0] with the goal of making a minimal framework for building web apps. As a data point, it has a built-in observable store, reactive templates, scoped subset of scss, no dependencies, and can almost fit in a single network packet.

Ask HN: What happened to vanilla HTML/CSS/JS development?
We developed El to be as minimal as possible, while still solving the problem of keeping state and interface in sync:
https://github.com/frameable/el
It's just ~150 lines / 2kb, and leverages existing browser functionality to accomplish most of the hard parts. Has observability, reactive templates, scoped CSS, no need for a build process, etc.
