All the (great) recommendations in this comment section are a great example of how the js ecosystem works. there are so many great new technologies available for building apps, but standardization and discoverability are far from solved.

There are new esm based cdns (similar things have been around since the browserify days), awesome new build tools like esbuild, skypack, and swc that are faster and/or simpler than webpack. new language features have been standardized that reduce the need for various types of libraries, etc.

For anyone who doesn't spend an unreasonable time following these developments discovery of all this cool new things seems very tough.

On the opposite side of things, as a developer of a library I think is really useful, figuring out how to help people find it, I have no idea where to start.
