I recently updated my website to use #LitElement. I don't need to use a frontend framework for a dinky personal site, but I like reimplementing my personal site with a new frontend framework whenever I'm curious about it.
LitElement feels like being back in the days of Vanilla JS. And that's because well, I am! It's not even a framework really, more like a library. It's essentially just a reactive wrapper and templating utility for the browsers customElement registry!
https://dbassett.dev if you're curious, or you can look at https://github.com/deanveloper/website if you wanna take a look at the source. It's even a SPA, with routing!
No bundlers, transpilers, or build steps needed. You only need to add them if you want to.
I feel like a blog post about frontend frameworks would be a fun thing to write.
