An absurdly small jQuery alternative for modern browsers. (by fabiospampinato)

Project mention: pure javascript vs jquery vs react for a complex, downloadable text based browser game with state management? | /r/webdev | 2023-05-14

Maybe a small JQuery clone like a Cash - https://github.com/fabiospampinato/cash or SurfJS https://surf.monster/ (Surf has a delay/queue, reactive templates) might help for writing less code and is still JavaScript

surreal

4 668 8.9 JavaScript

🗿 Mini jQuery alternative. Dependency-free animations. Locality of Behavior. Use one element or arrays transparently. Pairs with htmx. Vanilla querySelector() but better!

Project mention: jQuery v4.0.0 Beta | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-06

Love that this happened, but I've been waiting for 4.0 soooo long that I ended up making my own modern jQuery: https://github.com/gnat/surreal
key differences:
* Vanilla first. 1 file. Under 340 lines.
