How can it be defined dependency free if it depends on Node.js?

• _boffin_ 2mo ago
  Dependency-free means zero runtime dependencies, not no dev tools. Could have explained that better.

    Do you mean I don't need Node.js on the machine where I run it?
    • jjice 2mo ago
      It's a web component so you run it in the browser without dependencies after it's already been built with Node.
      • _boffin_ 2mo ago
        Doesn’t need to be built by node. It’s standalone.

  it needs an operating system to run omg not dependency free
  • jpease 2mo ago
    Does this operating system also depend on an underlying computer?

      You're free to just step through the assembly manually. You might need some paper and a pen.
      • stevesajeev 2mo ago
        It ain't dependency free, if you need pen and paper.

    LOL, and an internet connection, too! But, seriously, of course "web" requires internet and a computer and an operating system. But since when "web" also means Node.js? If a web component is advertized as dependency free, I expect something that I can include in a <script> tag and it works. Am I wrong?

      i mean fwiw can prolly include direct script tag using something like https://esm.sh https://esm.sh
