wow I wasn't aware of VanJS before. It looks nice!

in my limited exploring of VanJS so far, I like that it also takes the direction to simplify things. That said, afaik VanJS simplifies the "JSX" part (so: we don't have to transpile from JSX to vanilla JS because... we don't even use JSX :D).

For the target output (which we need to start the actual app), afais, VanJS still involves this build step: https://github.com/vanjs-org/vanjs-org.github.io/blob/master...

( we can see it being used from `package.json` at the "build" step: https://github.com/vanjs-org/vanjs-org.github.io/blob/master... )

VanJS can be used just fine without a build step, and I do so.

The first instructions in https://vanjs.org/start are for this.

ahh good to know :) Thanks - I'll try it out for sure.

Also irrelevant but VanJS does have a way more invested logo & better name than "FullSoak" which I cooked up at 4am xD
