Right, but that is what basically every JS framework is going for these days. Its refreshing to see somebody trying to go back to old school non-compiled js/html where every front-end is open-source(ish)

Really appreciate that. The “old school” vibe is deliberate — I wanted to lower the barrier so that you can share a snippet or inspect a page and actually learn from it, the way we used to with plain HTML/JS. Frameworks are great, but sometimes it’s nice to have a path that prioritizes openness and simplicity over machinery.
