It sounds easy but not simple to me to refactor on the TodoMVC code.

Instead of a JS-centric approach, how about an even simpler, HTML-centric approach with Apline.js? :)

  This HTML-but-not-really kind of approach makes everything more complicated, not simpler.

This may be a good idea but the schtick is tiresome

I like it! I’d argue TypeScript over JS as adoption gets broader (and/or toolchains simpler)

This seems massively less "dumb" and "debuggable" than say, templated HTML that's rendered on the server (erb, blade, whatever). I get that it's trying to be "dumb components" but maybe that's an invalid starting point?

The ever immature concept of using something edgie as a name, that will likely result in you having to change it, or never getting broad adoption.

  "Dolt" https://www.dolthub.com https://www.dolthub.com "Gun" https://gun.js.org https://gun.js.org (Bonus points for gun-shaped logo.)

    I mean, do you really think "Gun" or "dolt" are on the same par as Dumbass? I mean is dumbass will likely be filtered by 90% of content filters, the other two would not.

      Ah, that's a good point.

      Hello Meph, I don't really want to change the name but I am open if you have any awesome suggestions. I think there's truth in what you say, and other comments saying this limits the usage. previous iteration of this same framework was called brutal and end up getting 500 Stars. recently I had this idea to name things after flowers. I think it's underused and there's a lot of great flower names. chrysanthemum rhododendron. just an idea. maybe you got some cool name for this I love to hear it.

        In the same vibe, maybe Dumbbell could work. Also, it relates to the "brutal" concept in some way ;)

If you are willing to use JSX you can be even more dumbass, with an even smaller lib, and you'll get compile-time checks for HTML tags to boot. Check out this lib: https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder https://github.com/wisercoder/uibuilder

Iim not great at naming things, but avoiding anything that will get you blocked by content sensors, or something you cant use in a board meeting. Off the top of my head though Nematode would be my suggestion
