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.

⏰ It’s time to talk about Import Map, Micro Frontend, and Nx Monorepo
For full compatibility and extra features, we usually use the library es-module-shims.

JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
You can polyfill for unsupported browsers, it works surprisingly well: https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims

Modern SPAs without bundlers, CDNs, or Node.js
https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims has a polyfill. (But it is fairly large: 53KB raw, 15KB gzipped, 32KB minified, 11KB minified+gzipped. It’s providing a lot of likely-unnecessary functionality. I’d prefer a stripped-down polyfill that can also be lazily-loaded, controlled by a snippet of at most a few hundred bytes that you can drop into the document, only loading the polyfill in the uncommon case that it’s needed—like how five years ago as part of modernising some of the code of Fastmail’s webmail, I had it fetch and execute core-js before loading the rest iff !Object.values (choosing that as a convenient baseline), so that the cost to new browsers of supporting old browsers was a single trivial branch, and maybe fifty bytes in added payload.)

Modern SPAs without bundlers, CDNs, or NodeJS
If we call the shim a framework, would you be ok with it then?

Import maps 101
If you want import maps to be supported in any browser, there is an ES Module Shims polyfill which is compatible with any browser that has baseline ES Module Support (i.e. Edge 17+, Firefox 60+, Safari 10.1+, and Chrome 61+).
-
Everything You Need to Know About JavaScript Import Maps
An example of a polyfill that can be used is the ES Module Shims polyfill that adds support for import maps and other new module features to any browser with baseline support for ES modules (about 94% of browsers). All you need to do is include the es-module-shim script in your HTML file before your import map script:

How bad is it to not use a bundler?
i often use es-module-shims so i can load npm packages in browsers without a bundler 😎

Fresh – The next-gen web framework
I explored using client-side service workers for build-less deployment workflows a while back, but the blocker was the initial visit when the service worker hasn't been installed yet. Ended up using es-module-shim's fetch hook (https://github.com/guybedford/es-module-shims#fetch-hook) instead, which worked quite well.
I kept the demo repo around here, in case it's helpful to anyone: https://github.com/lewisl9029/buildless-hot-reload-demo.
The repo itself is quite out of date at this point, but my current project, Reflame, is essentially the spiritual successor: https://reflame.app/
Reflame has the same ideals of achieving the developer experience I've always wanted for building client rendered React apps:
- instant production deployments (usually <200ms)
- instant preview environments that match production in pretty much every imaginable way (including the URL), that can also be flipped into development mode for fast-refresh (for the seamless feedback loop we're used to in local dev) and dev-mode dependencies (for better error messaging, etc)
- close-to-instant browser tests (1-3 seconds) that enable image snapshot comparisons that run with maximum parallelism and only rerun when their dependency graphs change
-
Do you use Import-Map for your client-side ESM?
The problem of course is that browser-support for Import Maps is sadly lacking (only Chrome/Chromium-based at time of writing). There are tricks/shims to get around this, like ES-Module-Shims. I find these approaches to be a little too intrusive, personally.

Ludic: New framework for Python with seamless Htmx support
* https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript
There is also a working integration with Django that enables the use of neat-html as a template backend, however it isn't up on GitHub yet.
I find the space of HTML generation libraries which can leverage the power of Python, really interesting.

Intro to Hyperscript: Rethinking JavaScript
Does anyone else get this confused with https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript ?
-
DOM to JSON and back
This works like Reactʼs createElement function. Or a library such as hyperscript. Sure, weʼd prefer JSX for its much reduced cognitive load. But our alternative here is the DOM methods such as createElement. Unless we want to load up a bulky library such as React, that is.

Experimenting with html in object form. How cursed is this?
Consider looking at hyperscript, which is a plain-javascript library for constructing html nodes (NOT a transpiler). Similar to what you have here, but way nicer
-
What is the state of the art for creating domain-specific languages (DSLs) with Rust?
In fairness, there's a lot of overlap between embedded DSLs and libraries — a library like Hyperscript for generating HTML in JavaScript is in many ways a DSL, but it's also just a bunch of functions that are easy to put together in a particular way. But this is often good enough!

Ask HN: What happened to vanilla HTML/CSS/JS development?
Hyperscript (https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript) is actually quite nice when you get used to it, and I actually prefer it over JSX. Pair it with something like microh[0], and it gets even better.

_hyperscript – a small scripting language for the web
The naming of this project clashes horribly with https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript. It's not like it's in a different ecosystem or something. It is a web project that is guaranteed to cause confusion.

My thoughts on Mithril.js
With Mithril.js, you generate HTML using a hyperscript dialect like this:

Show HN: A simple Wordle clone in 60 lines, using Hyperscript
I'm confused. Hyperscript is supposed to be an alternative way to writing JSX.
Hyperscript.org doesn't seem to be related to this at all?

Hyperscript - the hidden language of React
The reason is dead simple. It's exported as h because it's a hypescript function. So what exactly is hypescript?
