Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

The new wave of Javascript web frameworks
Stick to lightweight frameworks like Lit and El built on standard Web Components, and let the rest of the craziness come and go at whatever pace it wants.

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.

Svelte frontend vs HTMX and hyperscript
I have to say that I am an extremist minimalist, so I use a nano-framework I developed for the frontend, with uhtml (https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml) and some JavaScript libraries to help.

Xeito - A framework for building web applications
One of the main decisions I had to make early on was template handling, there are many approaches out there and of course, with React being the king, I first tried implementing a VirtualDOM complete with JSX support and whatnot... well that didn't really worked for what I was trying to achieve, so I moved into Tagged Template Literals (through µhtml) and tried to stick to standards as much as possible by building on top of the Custom Elements API.
- Anyone have multiple language syntax highlighting with treesitter working?

New Web Component Framework!
FAST rendering thanks to µhtml

Ardi: Welcome to the Weightless Web
Challenge: With declarative rendering, oftentimes entire DOM trees are re-painted because of simple prop or state changes that could have been handled faster by imperative DOM manipulation. I wanted a framework that, like Lit, only updated content or attributes that had changed instead of re-painting entire DOM elements and trees. Solution: I chose µhtml for the default templating system because it accomplishes this goal and other advanced templating features in a tiny bundle size. To make rendering even faster and smoother, I throttled uhtml's rendering using requestAnimationFrame.

Ask HN: What happened to vanilla HTML/CSS/JS development?
> There are lighter-weight shadow dom frameworks out there (than Vue/React/Angular) so why would you want to write one yourself?
You can even avoid a shadow DOM entirely:

I don't miss React: a story about using the platform
My next goal would be to discard snabbdom (and virtualdom) and use custom elements. For that I'm evaluating a library like https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml and all it's ecosystem of utility
-
It's been 5 years since I've done Frontend work, getting back in the game
Yep ditched React since 2015, it's still the same mess today. They all not trying to encourage interoperability, and comes with their own build .. seriously? Frontend should be just libs! Use https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml or lit-html where things should be highly dynamic.
-
Can I just jump into React if I already know the fundamentals of JS/HTML/CSS?
If it's for getting into job market, go for React. If it's for learning declarative ui, build cool stuff real quick without tooling, go with lit-html or bravely go with https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml (it's more simple than anything else, yet powerful)
-
Hooks Considered Harmful
A tiny dom lib like https://github.com/WebReflection/uhtml is more than enough for very complicated UI, with understanding how events work, will be able to implement very thin state management on top. With game programming styled manual render() call here and there as needed, pretty neat.
