Im investigating an idea i had about JSX for webcomponents after some experience with Lit.
Lit is a nice lightweight UI framework, but i didnt like that it was using class-based components.
Vue has a nice approach but i prefer working with the syntax that React uses. I find it more intuitive for debugging and deterministic rendering. I wondered if with webcomponents, i could create a UI framework that didnt need to be transpiled.
(My intentions with this framework is to get to a reasonable level of stability, to then replace React on some of my existing projects.)
IMPORTANT: Im not trying to push "yet another ui framework", this is an investigation to see what is possible. You should not use this framework in your own code. It is not production-ready. It is intended for myself on my own projects. This project is far from finished. I am sharing because it might be interesting for someone. Feel free to reach out for clarity if you have any questions.
That's a good point, being closer to the react api would make refactoring easier. The AI of it all is very frustrating for new projects like this. Since LLMs produce the most likely next code based on the training set, it'll take a lot of blog posts and projects on github before it masters your api, but people will be loathe to adopt it if LLMs can't do the heavy lifting for them. I don't envy your position, but I do wish you luck!
