Ask HN: Weird alternative Front end Frameworks
8 comments
Yes. All of mine are custom written with Lit, which is pretty close to bare metal web components and definitely not a framework.
Sometimes it's annoying to have to invent standard stuff, like specialized controls for routing or permissions, but the huge advantage is that all of that code works exactly and only as I want it to. I'm not bound by anyone's framework design or ideas about components.
Just FYI, these apps support video game development at a commercial studio. I wrote both the front end website with digital asset trading for players, and the back end portal administration tool in my custom framework environment.

Never seen Lit before, interesting technology. It is "lit" :P
I did a series on it on Medium. :-)

wow that's an interesting thing, like a windows but for web. What do you use it for?
I am definitely a fan of HTMX.
How do you integrate it with your server-side rendering part?
Just some context, I have been doing Vue for a long time and also some React, but it seems like there are always problems in JavaScript land.
So I have been playing around with mixing HTMX/AlpineJS with server side rendered (Jinja2) for a new project, and it looks promising. Less errors, faster rendering, SEO friendly from the get go, but at the expense of less isolation of components.
