This is pretty neat! I was just looking around for a "modern, smaller" JQuery equivalent and did not come across this. The older equivalents in this space I saw were Zepto and Cash.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of Alpine.js and Stimulus.js, which come to mind when I think of smaller utility libraries for adding "sprinkles" of JS?

I have been using Alpine and enjoying it. Stimulus is too much like Rails—convention over configuration—for me to get into. Alpine feels like a nice middle ground between Vue and Vanilla.
