Dagger.js

Buildless! I'm already interested.

Totally fair — longevity is a real concern, and I’ve had the same hesitation with new tools myself. The nice thing about Dagger.js is that it’s intentionally very small and…

Thanks to both of you for the thoughtful discussion — I really appreciate seeing different perspectives here. On the “lock-in” concern: that’s a fair point. dagger.js is still…

I'd guess people are getting different results because of the varying A records https://dns.google/query?name=daggerjs.org https://www.whois.com/whois/3.33.130.190 and…

Good catch — thanks for digging into that. You’re right: the domain still has a mix of A records (AWS + GitHub Pages), which explains why some people see different results. I…

Thanks for laying this out — I share your priorities on minimal boilerplate and a buildless-first workflow. dagger.js is designed around that: no bundler by default, just HTML +…

Thanks a lot for the detailed suggestions — this is super helpful. You’re right that symbols like +//@ aren’t valid in XML/XHTML, and the original idea was just to keep things as…

That’s a good comparison — Svelte also started from the “write less, ship less” idea, and I have a lot of respect for it. The big difference is that Svelte achieves that by…

Yeah, that’s a fair comparison — Dagger.js lives in a similar space to petite-vue / Alpine: no build step, HTML-first, sprinkle behaviors where you need them. The main…

That’s a good point — the ESM build of Vue is solid, actively maintained, and does give you a no-build setup with the full feature set. dagger.js aims a bit differently: it’s…

If I had to use one of these modern JS frameworks, I think Vue without build step would be one of the candidates. No shitty webpack configuring, no minimizer, no bundler, no…

Solid is definitely in that “compile-to-direct-DOM” camp, and I think it’s awesome — it shows how far you can push the reactive model with JSX + fine-grained updates. dagger.js…

Aurelia is a great framework — I really like the way it ties template, JS, and CSS together into one unit. That convention makes it very natural to organize components and…
