dagger.js

>Also, have you read the dagger.js code? https://github.com/dagger8224/dagger.js/blob/main/src/dagger... It's 1600 lines. I've disassembled, decompiled and reverse engineered more code than that in a day. It's JavaScript. What comments do you need? There's a bit of noise in the first 100 lines, but it's not something you couldn't figure out in half an hour if need be. The version you linked isn't the minified version. Edit: and yes, I did see the code before I wrote my first comment. I wanted to make sure it was in fact relatively straightforward and not some 50k line monolith.

Ive done this before, I have used a bespoke micro framework to build a webpage. A couple of years later I wanted to update it, but discovered that I couldnt do it because of a bug in this framework and the framework also didnt exist anymore. I could fix the bug myself by reading all their code, or I could start over and use something that would still exist next year. Also, have you read the dagger.js code? https://github.com/dagger8224/dagger.js/blob/main/src/dagger... Its written like the developer has a limited supply of lines of code. No comments, ton of declarations on the same line, and lines that run longer than most widescreen monitors. Its all super compact and dense. I would not want to try to fix a bug here. Suggestion: Add a build step that runs before your code is published to npm so that you can have readable source AND sma

TL;DR: dagger.js is a buildless, runtime-only micro-framework that plays nicely with native Web Components. It uses HTML-first directives (e.g. +click, +load) so you can ship a page by dropping a single <script> from a CDN—no bundlers, no compile step. Why I built it Modern stacks are powerful but often heavy: bundlers, compile steps, framework DSLs, local CLIs. For internal tools, small apps, and edge/serverless deployments, I wanted something you can view-source, paste into a page, and ship. What it is: Runtime-only: no build or VDOM compile; hydrate behaviors directly on HTML. HTML directives: e.g. +click, lifecycle +load / +loaded / +unload / +unloaded. Zero APIs: dagger.js works in pure declarative mode, modules and directives provide everything you need to build your application. Web-Components-first: works alongside Custom Elements
