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.

Modern SPAs without bundlers, CDNs, or Node.js
As someone who does this too: it depends. If you take time out every now and then to completely refactor your code base it can actually be surprisingly effective. I've done exactly that on my last project and I'm pretty happy with the end result, you can have a look for yourself:
https://gitlab.com/jmattheij/pianojacq/-/tree/master/js
This project will likely never be finished, there are always nice new things to add or requests from people, there is no commercial pressure because it is a hobby project and I don't have a boss to answer to. And even if such refactoring operations take me two weeks or more (this one I did while I was mostly just working on a laptop without access to a keyboard so it was sometimes tricky to ensure that nothing broke) in the end it is worth it to me because I am also paying the price for maintaining the code and if it is messy then I would stop working on it.
The project moves forward in fits and starts, sometimes I work on it for weeks on end and sometimes it is dormant for months. In a commercial setting or in a much larger team I don't think this approach would work.

Ask HN: What happened to vanilla HTML/CSS/JS development?
Two things:
- adding interactivity to a web page vs building an application. Those are not the same thing, and what you read applies to the first
- there's a widely accepted belief that vanilla js is not suitable to build apps. I don't buy in this belief. I have a built networked Scrabble game written in vanilla js. Both the backend and the frontend. This simplicity allowed external contributors not well versed in the modern web stack to contribute. I also was able to enter the code of Pianojacq (from jaquesm) [1] and contribute quite easily because he also chose vanilla js. This simplicity is very valuable, and lost with modern framework, and nobody is really concerned about this.
I've done some React development, so I know my way in a modern app. I've also contributed to a frontend written in Vue. I think they solve problems but bring complexity to the table, in particular the tooling (bundlers, minifiers, etc), the dependencies and the debugging being much harder.
It seems DOM manipulation through native browser API scares many people, but when it's what you are familiar with, your usual "framework", it's manageable. You need to be disciplined to avoid things getting messy (a discipline frameworks partially enforce), but I really believe you can go far with vanilla js.
I believe React & Co are often picked to ease beginners' contribution, but they actually do require expertise. I'd rather touch vanilla js code from a beginner or an experienced developer than a React code from a beginner.
It's a matter of taste. Vanilla JS has the taste of fresh air to me. It's zen. You write the code and it runs. No tools, no slow compilation, no minification that complexifies the debugging. Minification which is only useful because with those framework you bundle an awful quantity of code in the first place. Yes, source maps exists but they don't do everything.
But today you won't have access to the whole ecosystem of existing React components with vanilla JS. It might be a curse or a benediction.

Lots of progress on the piano practice software
As for 1) yes, I can do that, the reason it is set where it is right now is because very soft keypresses on real pianos with sensorbars installed are typically fingers brushing keys on the way to other keys and these false triggers leave a lot of errors that aren't really errors. I'll make that setting configurable.
2) yes, if you look in the 'midi' directory on the gitlab site ( https://gitlab.com/jmattheij/pianojacq/-/tree/master/midi , but also linked from the application) there are whole bunch of them that all should work well

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?
What are some alternatives?
