Microjs
- Klaster_1 2y agoWow, what a blast from the past! I remember looking for libs there back in 2011. Thanks for rekindling those memories.
- girvo 2y agoIt even still looks the same! Man I miss those days. Bring back RequireJS and/or browserify
- bastawhiz 2y agoYou can still use those tools, but good luck. There's a reason most of us have stopped using them
- lexicality 2y agoI mean fwiw, native web esmodules now work basiaclly the same as require did back in the day so you can get the same vibe with no build step
- girvo 2y agoYeah I love it, I wish it was adopted more widely but alas, Webpack and Parcel run my world today
- veidelis 2y agoRequirejs does not have a mandatory build step.
- lexicality 2y agocorrect, that was part of my point
- 5Qn8mNbc2FNCiVV 2y agoNeither do esmodules
- sureIy 2y agoFun fact: Moment.js was at some point on this website at 3.7kb[1]. Of course that changed over its lifetime. [1]: https://github.com/microjs/microjs.com/pull/242/files
- MuffinFlavored 2y ago> March 27th 2012 was 12 years, 4 months and 3 days ago, which is 4,508 days.
- twosdai 2y agoNow the big question, did you figure out that time date diff with moment.js? Bonus points if it's the version from March 27th 2012.
- mosselman 2y agoI went here the other day to find an image gallery which in the end wasn't maintained anymore. I loved this website and went here often for inspiration.
- shove 2y agostill have this bookmarked from over a decade ago
- marban 2y agoDon't forget MooTools.
- nutrie 2y agoTo this day I still don’t know why, but I used to love MooTools.
- qingcharles 2y agoDon't feel bad, you weren't the only one. I used it in a bunch of big production projects.
- Tepix 2y agoPretty cool. Is there a micro framework for showing 360° photos and videos? Ideally with support for orientation sensors in mobile devices and HMDs (2d/3d) :-)

- esskay 2y agoJavascripts fine, its the crummy ecosystem with awful backwards compatability and the shiny object syndrome most JS devs seem to have thats the issue. I actively avoid using JS not because its bad (i mean, syntax wise its pretty awful but workable), but because I know its going to be a total mess to maintain.
- beezlewax 2y agoWhat's your top language for better syntax? And what are your main issues with js? I've used javascript/typescript as well as rust and java. Each have their quirks.
- troupo 2y ago> What's your top language for better syntax? In FP land: Erlang, Elixir In C-like land: C# > And what are your main issues with js? Google stomping all over standards processes with shit no one needs. That's mostly in HTML-land, but it bleeds into JS land as well. Like the "requirement" for JS to have C++-like classes (it doesn't) that mesh really poorly with prototype-based inheritance and still causes lots of problems (have they solved auto-binding instance methods and private fields yet?). No standard library, none. That is why you get so many libraries doing the same thing and people importing left-pad. Abysmal rate of development. That is, however, the result of being developed in the open (somewhat) and needing consensus on new features. This is preferable to browsers and runtimes just doing whatever the hell they want. NIH-syndrome. Mostly from the frontend crowd, but node.js-ers are bad, too. The audacity to think that no one ever in the history in the world made better UI systems, better backend systems etc. All while painfully re-implementing and re-discovering the last 30-40 years of computer science and engineering. Beating a dead horse: weak dynamic typing is the worst typing, and Javascript is that. Strong dynamic typing I could accept.

- sezgim 2y agoI created two micro libraries in Javascript long ago but neither is on this website. Makes me think there might be other libraries missing.

- marcussoliva 2y agoWow, I remember that I found Zepto.js in 2012 on this site.
- breck 2y agoI wonder if someone could create a new #1 Javascript central package repository simply by enforcing the rule of every package must be under 10KB un-minimized and copy/pasteable in a single file.
- maxpert 2y agoOMG this is still alive! Brought a smile on my face :)

- benatkin 2y agoMore fond memories: http://script.aculo.us/ http://script.aculo.us/
- billbrown 2y agoI remember getting a drag-and-drop, sortable interface for a blog-widget configurator in Go Daddy's Quick Blog app using script.aculo.us back in 2006 or 2007. Worked perfectly except in IE6 and it took three days of hard dev to get that correct. jQuery and jQuery UI quickly overshadowed this fun little library.
- benatkin 2y agoIt was bittersweet that it got overshadowed by jQuery. jQuery was also by some of my favorite people in tech. Another blast from the past is Visual jQuery. I don't know if it's online anywhere :/ https://github.com/jquery-archive/visual-jquery/blob/master/index.html https://github.com/jquery-archive/visual-jquery/blob/master/... https://blog.jquery.com/2006/09/02/taking-jquery-documentation-to-the-next-level/ https://blog.jquery.com/2006/09/02/taking-jquery-documentati...
- jszymborski 2y agoI miss the yayquery podcast every day.
- lelandfe 2y agoUsed to blow my mind. Didn't understand a lick of it at the time.
- jszymborski 2y agoExactly how I felt as a teen/pre-teen. Prototype had a bid of a rep for being harder than jQuery to pick up. This made me think of dōjō so I looked it up and it seems like it's going strong (last release 3 years ago, initial in 2006).
- jay-barronville 2y agoWow, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic right now!
- antifa 2y agoI wish there was a website like this for typescript.
- diceduckmonk 2y agoIf you’re using TypeScript then you have a build step and package manager like NPM, which means packages and libraries are published in the NPM package registries. This website was from/for an era where you hotlink the scripts.
