Hello everyone! With this comment, as a starting point, I would like to mark a new stage in the development of the product and show the whole Hacker News, and the world in general, what we have done in the last 6 months of work! Working like ants, efforts were made on a product that made it easier to work with the server and clients on the web. It is a open-source template language that extends the capabilities of HTML. The main tasks that it solves are: - Creating web applications with the same interface as if they were written on modern frameworks, but with a significantly smaller bundle size, which will allow you to load sites faster. - Building a server-oriented application structure that is almost independent of the client. This will allow you to share components across multiple sites without using the Microfrontend methodology and g

Hi HN! Together with contributors, we've been making a small template language for a year now, which, in our opinion, can replace HTMX and Alpine.js. It is a mix between EJS and Handlebars, that is, you can make a request with a familiar syntax to the server in HTML right in the markup. Requests are made via fetch and are configured via javascript almost entirely, which is what is needed today to work with the server. The very essence of the template language comes down to minimizing the size of the bundle of the original web application by moving the components to the server and then storing them there. Thus, on the client we get a framework, where we insert components from the server brick by brick. We showed this template language a long time ago, but it was not so mature then, so people had a lot of questions: https://news.ycombinator
