lit-state VS joystick

The reason React uses a virtual DOM is because when React started, there were no (advanced) HTML templates yet. And it made it easy to setup listeners on elements, instead of manually adding it with `addEventListener()` and possibly remove them again with `removeEventListener()`. So the virtual DOM was really a game changer.

But Lit templates solve this problems in a more browser integrated way, without the need of a virtual DOM. How you manage the state is free to your choice, that is also not something exclusive to React and your favorite pattern can also be used with Lit. I wrote a tiny state management library (LitState [0]) which makes it very easy for multiple components to share the same state and stay in sync. I personally find it much more convenient and cleaner than any other state library I've used before. And it integrates very nicely with Lit.

I built a full-stack JS framework [1] that I thought would be a hit. As best as I can tell, because it lacks the complexity/word salad of existing solutions, it's mostly been ignored despite being (imo) an elegant solution to a long-standing problem.

SEEKING WORK, Tennessee, United States

Remote: Yes

I'm a full-stack, JavaScript/Node.js developer and designer. I'm the creator of the Joystick JavaScript framework [1], Push deployment service [2], and Mod CSS framework [3].

I also have experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB (limited but competent) and devops (K8s + Docker and bare-metal linux admin, the latter preferred for simplicity/stability).

Currently looking to take on clients who are open to using Joystick, Push, and Mod to design and develop their app. Because it's still at a pre-release version, I'm willing to work out deals around pricing to get some more test-cases under my belt. Ideal client is a solopreneur w/ funding or entrepreneur with previous experience + funding. Open to working with startups (early or established), but only on greenfield projects where use of Joystick is ok.

There is. I was frustrated by all of the chaos and built a solution [1]. Not too far of from an RC1 and then a 1.0 (which is being done slowly so I can freeze APIs and avoid the typical JS rug pulls).

I've been (slowly) writing a new type of OSS license around this exact concept so it's easier to (legally) stop LLMs hoovering up IP [1] (under "derivative works not permitted").

Joystick [1] will let you go. No Stockholm syndrome. No lotion in the basket.
