> main.ts file contains multiple small functions It's purely demo code. I personally subscribe to the "modules should be deep" school of thought (Ousterhout). > tests test the same…

I also use Vite professionally on a daily basis. FWIW Vite would indeed handle the responsibilities of sass, typescript (partly), s4d, terser, cbst, vendoring (but not eslint, styl…

Fantastic comment, I'll take these to the drawing board... thank you so much for taking the time!

I like to look at it as a spectrum from "truly vanilla" to "same old bloated". I've previously looked at the dogmatic vanilla approach here [0] and wanted to try something else thi…

In all honesty, I've never got to properly look into Vue, but it has been mentioned multiple times in the comments. Time to study it I guess :) The "src/js" directory was initially…

Did not know this one, will study for sure. Thanks!

Not sure who said it but I was aiming for the "Simple Ain't Easy" trope here ;) I agree that the JS build scene can be churning a lot as well (e.g. ESLint's recent config changes),…

Now that's a cool accident... thanks for sharing :)

I was pondering if "vanilla" should be part of the name as well. In the end I felt I got sufficiently close to the vanilla flavor you describe, and the name conveys the "as little …

Original author here, thanks for the comment! I also think that backend would be an interesting subject to try and reduce, if only to not constantly wade through 100s of Dependabot…

I find "web platform poorly designed, therefore frameworks with 100s of dependencies" a bit too easy, especially when the user experience suffers in the end. I also believe that no…

Original author here. No, you don't need all of it; everything is optional (as stated in the article). It's just a boilerplate with some tools and conventions, so "using it" has li…

Thanks for this, gives my intuition some words to back it up! I find especially compelling how the author separates concrete problems like reconciliation (hard to argue against) fr…

Original author here, thanks for sharing! The case study has been discussed back in 2020 [1] but there have been quite a few updates (ES2020, local dev, testing, etc.) since then. …

> The point is requirements change, features are added, and when an abstraction becomes wrong, tear it out. I like this phrasing a lot, thanks for this! I'm still wondering if ther…

Did some research on this a while ago and I‘d wager that 5x in LOC & growth is a bit off: https://github.com/morris/vanilla-todo - probably it’s more around 1.5x (which can still b…

Not sure about the interruption handling, maybe I need to do more research there. But totally agree with the last parts - currently, typical SPA implementations are often misguided…

I've heard the Assembly vs. C analogy a couple times now, and find it hard to apply: Assembly languages come in many flavors whereas C is a single, standard abstraction over these.…

True, we should respect all the resources of a device, at best. Also true for desktop (Slack's memory usage comes to mind). A major result of the study is greatly reduced bandwidth…

For what it's worth, the study was not targeting SPAs specifically. The patterns I found can very well be used to add some minimal behaviour to some HTML generated completely on th…

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read it, and thank you all so much for all the feedback! I'm quite overwhelmed by the response :) looking to address as much of the feedback…
