- barbariangrunge 3y agoHow do react devs feel about this project? I learned React a couple of years ago but never got the chance to use it for anything but a test project I recall being annoyed by how the stack I was learning was already in the midst of becoming obsolete, and I felt relieved to not have to go into another rabbit hole to replace redux with whatever people were switching to, and 2-3 new server side frameworks to complement react to… do server side rendering (is that what nextJS was?), but expressJS wasn’t good enough for because it didn’t integrate with react enough? And that dependence on CreateReactApp, with it’s 10000000 dependencies, was nuts Trying to learn everything, man, it felt like I was in a zoo
- chrsjxn 3y agoThe "framework" here is exceptionally small. You can read the whole thing: https://github.com/vanjs-org/van/blob/main/src/van.js https://github.com/vanjs-org/van/blob/main/src/van.js Personally, it doesn't do enough that I'd seriously consider using it, even for a project where minimal dependencies and build steps were a priority
- jonorsi 3y agoYes, but then my code wouldn’t be vanilla if I used VanJS…
- throwaway2016a 3y agoMy first thought as well... by this logic, you could React itself is Vanilla JS. It's a slippery slope with no clear line in the sand.
