there are tons of developers starring hyperHTML (2017), lighterhtml (2018) and uhtml (up to 2025) hinting there is still a desire for a minimalistic library able to handle most common DOM scenarios with ease but don't worry: I haven't forgotten about that goal! be patient 🙏 🥰

basically hyperHTML and variants in a nutshell? * no vdom * top down * signals where not even a thing * it smoked every other at its time (2017) glad me thinking VDOM was never the answer is paying back after 9 years 😅

hyperHTML is defunct yet it was the first of that kind to go out … heresy is a lovely PoC that inspired my other libraries too … it’s OK to mention inspiring libraries, popularity is irrelevant there, my comment was about not shipping builtin extends which is in standards 🤷

Hey. Be nice. Solid got the idea to use templates from domc which got the idea from hyperHTML. Svelte introduced template cloning in Svelte 5.

TFW the whole template static VS dynamic part is exactly how hyperHTML works since 2017 (now uhtml or lit) but it took a while for SSR to realize that 😅 the hotreload chunks is pretty amazing though, I wish one day I'll have time to finish my uhtml hydro branch with this too.

There’s a different yet better proposal aiming diffing with nodes never leaving the DOM. The idea of batched and smart updates in a way or another has been around since hyperHTML exists (2016) and one way or another we’re close to get there. Fragments here are likely not cool 😢

Challenge time! 👉 JavaScript Web frameworks/libs 👈 Can you spot the one/ones I missed? ;) #javascript #webdev Prototype.js ............ Dojo Toolkit ............ YUI ............ jQuery ............

I once named what is currently `wire`, in hyperHTML, as `frog` ... and it backfired pretty quickly during Trump days ... just saying ... github.com/WebReflection/hyp… the name was after the DocumentFrogment idea (persistent fragments proposed later on) but I was hinted to not use that.

hyperHTML and viperHTML also do stream but resolution is awaited linearly (although it doesn’t have to)

actually viperHTML (SSR) streams promises … hyperHTML does that and more viperhtml.js.org/viper.html sadly all family there is in maintenance mode but it still works well

hyperHTML, year 2017 … glad it’s getting traction at least 6 years later … congrats for the revelation 👍

and just like that ... I have the good old hyperHTML working like a charm out of a Web Worker, diffing only interpolations when needed and all via coincident/global 🤯😱🥳 github.com/WebReflection/coi…

It's too tightly coupled to React's API and its ways of doing things to be considered a general abstraction - for example, they can't replace React with more performant things like lit-html, hyperHTML, etc., because you can't tell which parts are static, and which are dynamic.

There's no overhead of parsing templates or creating intermediate objects, so it's really fast. If you want to reuse templates on the client side, you can use import html function from Lit/hyperhtml/lighterhtml/whatever - since it knows which parts are dynamic [2/]

The year was 2017. hyperHTML had self closing tag because specially with the rise of ShadowDOM based CEs it’d be an absurdity to write <my-comp></my-comp> all over the place. About the time Angular, about the time.

first 2 years I've learned a lot about Web Extensions, while working with the ABP team ♥️ we made awesome hyperHTML-Element based components able to visually digest snappily hundreds thousands filters Issue Reporter with a lazy screenshot filtering 🤯 github.com/WebReflection/hyp…

oh look, everything hyperHTML has been able to do since 2017 is now mainstream 🥳 😿

hyperHTML does that since 2017 too to disambiguate between attributes and accessors and it worked great (100M prod users) to date … so … you see? A thread of pragmatic people complaining about non pragmatic, yet stuck in time, Web standards 😅
