On the same topic, I wrote some articles a while ago. Here is my own approach for making a VanillaJS SPA without using any bundlers or frameworks https://rishav-sharan.com/#/making-a-spa-in-vanilla-js

Note that this blog right now converts markdown posts into html at runtime, which is definitely not an efficient way of doing things. But considering that I have just a handful of people landing there, I really haven't tried to update the approach.

I really enjoyed reading that, it's always a pleasure to get a window into the thought process of other developers as they evolve their ideas. Just curious, did you consider using event bubbling so you can declare event handlers right away rather than doing them in the after render section? This is currently the approach I am taking, and I'm just wondering if there are some pros and cons here.

Clever and minimal approach!

I wonder whether you could turn this into a static renderer by skipping the `after_render` as a separate step that only happens in the browser. You could even rename it `hydrate` if you want to use fancy modern JS lingo. The benefit would be to show content on initial page load without JS enabled as well as letting crawlers index your site (some still don't run JS).

A common problem I run into is wrt routing, and I see you've built a hash-based routing system. Are you worried about overriding the expected functionality of the URL hash?
