  1. sprae

    DOM tree microhydration

    Really like what I'm seeing so far. It looks a lot like Sprae: https://github.com/dy/sprae one of my favorite things that no one seems to be paying attention to :) I use it on live-templates, which uses Sprae to connect a template to stateful backend in Elixir over Phoenix Channels: https://github.com/launchscout/live-templates

  4. qwik

    Instant-loading web apps, without effort

    There are dozens of "better React" web frameworks, so it is impossible to get any traction with that value proposition. That ship has sailed. New frameworks should solve problems that are very difficult in existing frameworks. https://qwik.dev/ is a good example.

  5. erb

    An easy to use but powerful templating system for Ruby

    Interesting, what is the origin of that syntax (EJS)?

    I know it from Elixir [0] and strongly dislike it there, I was under the assumption in comes from Ruby [1] since so much of Elixir is Ruby-inspired, is this JS version the original one?

  6. facet

    Web components made simple and declarative (by kgscialdone)

    this microlibrary asks you to touch JS as little as possible.

  7. hyperterm

    A terminal built on web technologies

    I wish open-source projects checked to see if other projects share the same name.

    Especially since there are packages in NPM already about hyper.

    https://hyper.is/ has been around for a while and is kind of big
