  • hyperapp

    1kB-ish JavaScript framework for building hypertext applications

    Hyperapp isn’t really that new. It’s been around since the end of 2016 and gained a lot of popularity over this period. It’s gained over 18K GitHub stars on its repo and over 2.5K weekly downloads on NPM.

  • js-framework-benchmark

    A comparison of the performance of a few popular javascript frameworks

    For such comparisons, I often start with an awesome, open-source benchmark that covers many JS UI frameworks and libraries - including Hyperapp. You can see the most recent results here, and an example table below:

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • solid

    Discontinued A declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces. [Moved to: https://github.com/solidui/solid] (by ryansolid)

    They’ve been well received, and the core ideas behind them have inspired the likes of Vue’s Composition API and a big part of Solid’s API.

  • hyperawesome

    A curated list of awesome projects built with Hyperapp + more

    On the contrary, given Hyperapp’s simplicity, it could be argued it doesn’t need as much documentation as, e.g., React. The current one-page API docs and tutorial should be enough to give the developer a good understanding of the tool. There’s also some good community-written content.

  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

    React docs are really good - not perfect, but close. There’s a dedicated landing page, detailed API docs and concept overviews, a full-blown introductory tutorial, and a community directory with useful links, of which there are tons and more unlisted.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
