This is gorgeous. I hate frontend because of its sheer gratuity, and this is the kind of thing that might get me back into it. The only other contender for interactivity I'd consider is HTMX, and I'm going to boldly assume I'll be able to combine them without too much bother. Bravo to the author, keep at it. I'll be recommending this to anyone who will listen.

#1425 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.

It is probably not bots. The reach of authors is pretty good. He actually loyal fan followers in india. You can see the same when he shows up on a podcast or talk. I think theres alot indian developers who are hacker news as well as on github and other forums.
Why do all the comments look exactly like paid comment spam?

> I love it. We need to see more of this. > Use of semantic elements is an interesting take. I'll give it a try. > Thank you for this, can’t wait to use. Minimalism at its best. > Good one. Presentation is good too. Thanks These are the kind of comments you see from Indians paid to boost Youtube content.
They're probably just Indians using the framework saying "thanks." India has the largest population on Earth, they're close to 1.5 billion now. I think some people underestimate what that means.

#145This site got me going. Almost had whiplash when I tapped a link and the page loaded literally instantly. I've almost forgotten that that's possible on the internet. I'm not a web dev, but I'm inspired to get into it now because of this site.

The problem with Bootstrap is that it depends on jQuery and Popper, and its CSS has global classes. It’s perfectly fine if BS is the only UI framework, but if you need to bring to bring in other frameworks or libraries (by choice or by force), then there’s a chance you’ll run into conflicts.
bootstrap has not depended on jquery for a long time now.

Try uBlock Origin and most of your sites will load instantly (hint: most of the time it is third-party analytics/ads issue)
