riot VS lcars-moderne

These articles form a series focusing on RiotJS paired with BeerCSS, designed to guide you through creating components and mastering best practices for building production-ready applications. I assume you have a foundational understanding of Riot; however, feel free to refer to the documentation if needed: https://riot.js.org/documentation/

This article covers how to create an Riot input component, using the Material Design CSS BeerCSS. Before starting, make sure you have a base application running, or read my previous article Setup Riot + BeerCSS + Vite.

However, Riot is my first choice when creating a front-end, here is why:

Riot.js is designed to be lightweight and easy to learn, making it a good choice for developers who are familiar with HTML and JavaScript — without requiring them to learn the rigors of coding with a specific framework. Riot.js emphasizes simplicity, performance, and modularity, its ecosystem allows for easy integration of third-party libraries and components, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale projects.

how about getting a hold of your sanity and allowing yourself a few hours to learn https://riot.js.org/ - almost no learning curve, only pure awesomeness. even if you won't use it in the enterprise (because policies, bla bla), it is still worth knowing things can be done differently - in a good way.

Riot.js prides itself as a light and simple UI library that helps developers hit the ground running when creating elegant UIs for their applications.

Thanks! Glad you like it. I'm the original author of Riot (https://riot.js.org/) so that's the style of frontend development I'm most comfortable with. We're using our own flavour of the library, which has the original super-mimimalistic feel on it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't realized Github Pages supported SSL today for custom domains, missed a Let's Encrypt at some point I suppose. Trying to get that activated. I'll have to look into the mixed content warnings later.

Reading the HN feedback I did make a note to adjust the body font color: https://github.com/WorldMaker/lcars-moderne/issues/4

Might also play with some of those newer color theme ideas, the Lower Decks inspired ones spark joy for me. (I used a different theme site for some of the colors that was at lcarsdeveloper.com and seems maybe done now. This one seems similar and I'm wondering if they just had to change domain names at some point.)
