I'm not the author and I've never used this library, but I think your comment is unnecessarily dismissive anyway. You're not necessarily wrong, but I feel there's ample room in the space between wanting to hack something together and built according to this week's best practices. Seems to me this tool sits squarely in that first category, enabling rapid prototyping at a lower cost, while still being flexible enough to allow for a wide range of capabilities. I don't get the feeling at all from the introduction that this is meant to compete with Vue, React, Angular et al. but rather be a complement – the tool to reach for when you have an idea and want to hash it out without being encumbered by process. For what it's worth, I work like this all the time. I have a collection of simple utility functions that I'll include in an html file – F5 is my build process. It's useless for building anything serious, that's when I reach for more structure. I can definitely see something like Alpine replace my homegrown tools for this.
