  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • Alpine.js

  • This might be interesting to you: https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine/

  • cash

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

  • I'd suggest to anybody wanting a thin wrapper over the DOM to just go with Cash [1] instead, which I maintain. Cash is largely a drop-in replacement for jQuery Slim at a significantly smaller size (~6kb vs ~24kb min+gzip).

    The methods listed in youmightnotneedjquery.com are a little simplistic/buggy at time and not tested, if you just need a single method from jQuery it would probably be a better idea to simply copy/paste it from Cash.

  • window.fetch polyfill

    A window.fetch JavaScript polyfill.

  • You can use a polyfill such as https://github.com/github/fetch.

  • unfetch

    🐕 Bare minimum 500b fetch polyfill.

  • You can use a polyfill such as https://github.com/developit/unfetch (500 bytes).

  • hyperscript

    Create HyperText with JavaScript.

  • Yes. Or hyperscript as my parent posted. I'd love to see an example of preact with it.

    But looking at the repo https://github.com/hyperhype/hyperscript I have a hard time imagining how preact can work together. They seem to overlap in functionality.

  • 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.
