So I have extensively used hyperapp (1 and 2) for hybrid mobile applications that run the cab of big rigs. We actually won best in show this year at Freight Waves for our two apps.
These are medium/larger apps, with lots of functionality, need to hook into native device features (done with ionic capacitor, and custom plugins), and need to be fast, robust, and flexible. Hyperapp has allowed all of those things.
Hyperapp can and will work, with larger applications, but hyperapp does not have super strict "guide rails" like other more popular frameworks do, so its up to you to design, and implement a clean code base. It ships with minimum overhead, and you can either roll features you need, or see if someone in the community has created them.
I have worked with angular (1,2,4,6) and react for quite a few projects, and I actually work faster, and end up with a better end product using hyperapp. Its an amazing little framework. Sure, not having stricter guide rails you can write very poor apps in hyperapp, it will let you do stuff poorly, but if you play to its strengths, and get comfortable with it, it really shines.
- keb_ 6y agoHey there, really happy to hear of the success you've had with Hyperapp. I've played with Hyperapp v1 in the past for small toy projects, and it was relatively easy to become productive with. I'm wondering if you have any open toy projects or boilerplate you could share for v2, as I'm looking to jump back on it when I get the chance, and would love to see what a scalable project skeleton looks like.
- mr0010110fixit 6y agoI do not have anything that is open as of now (but about to start a new project soon) I would check out https://medium.com/hyperapp/a-walk-through-hyperapp-2-b1f642fca172 https://medium.com/hyperapp/a-walk-through-hyperapp-2-b1f642... to get your toes wet though, good resource, also feel fee to join the hyperapp slack https://hyperappjs.herokuapp.com/ https://hyperappjs.herokuapp.com/ nice community and super helpful.
