This looks very very cool. Will definitely look in to using this for more static internal tools!

Looks okay, but I don’t see why to use this over something like Marx if all you need is to not have bare browser default styling.

#13The motivating blog post[1] linked from the front page is probably going to generate a more interesting discussion than the framework itself.

#175 day old repo, 2000 stars on GitHub, 400 total weekly downloads on npm. Frontpage of hacker news with a bunch of weird comments. Moderation has been lacking recently.
Sad that HN is now also getting boted by LLMs. People are just shameless. HN is one of the few places left where you can post / self promote something you have made only for people to take advantage of it.

#20This is kind of misleading. It says it's an HTML UI library, then it says HTML + CSS, and then it says it also includes JavaScript. Why is this better than, say, DaisyUI?
Iirc there's a few web components in there which would require js.
