    Discontinued Non-trivial framework based on trivial principles

    Choosing a relatively young framework with a limited support over Facebook's giant may seem like craziness. As a core developer at GlueCodes Studio, I was the one pushing towards taking the risk. The decision has been mainly driven by Solid's build-time DOM diffing flavoured with a very simple API. I really believe it's a natural replacement of Virtual DOM. I always believed that taking the compromise of re-rendering the whole tree when the app state changes just for a "developer's convenience" is a matter of time. There was Svelte on radar, but I'm rather in favour of JSX, especially because we already provide an abstraction layer for templating using HTML with our meta-framework specific directives. So, I thought it would be awesome to write UIs with this higher level of abstraction and export to more flexible JSX and if you wish, continue development out of our tool. Check out the docs for more info.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

  • 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.

  • React

    The library for web and native user interfaces.

    It's function-first and it has a very clean API. Much of it is similar to React.
