Re: Plain Vanilla Web
#2Interesting article about ditching frameworks. Embarassingly helpful for someone who jumped rather quick into React after learning js basics.
Re: Plain Vanilla Web
#3As a framework-enjoyer, I'm finding this helpful to leaf through just to learn about modern web platform tech.
Re: Plain Vanilla Web
#4Very cool overview and a great article—it’s fascinating to see how far web components have come. Data passing, interactivity, and state management still seem pretty tedious in vanilla, though!

#5Good to understand, but most likely better to stick with react for production stuff anyway
Re: Plain Vanilla Web
#6Question - why would you do this in current year? Is it that much more performant? I might be ignorant but frameworks seem to be the lingua franca for a reason - they make your life much easier to manage once set up!

#7As a react dev I find this fascinating - in the same way I was fascinated by the foraging walk I went on the other day - but was SO HAPPY that supermarkets exist when I saw how much effort it is.

#8Love to see this!
Although I do think there is merit to "light" frameworks such as Astro, with its scoped styling and better component syntax. But at the same time, independence is also important.
I started something similar with https://webdev.bryanhogan.com/ which focuses on writing good and scalable HTML and CSS.

#9I am not sold on web-components yet. Especially now with @scoped and import{type:css}, I think there's still a lot of merit to rendering an element statically, shipping it, and updating it dynamically via modern JS. I'm not sold on how people typically do that, and I think we should keep trying to innovate outside of the typical frameworks like React/Svelte, but I definitely don't see any part of web-components being useful to any type of site I run (and I run several disparate types).

No, it's more like fast food vs grocery store & home cooked meals.
