Show HN: Vertex.js – A 1kloc SPA Framework
Vertex is a 1kloc SPA framework containing everything you need from React, Ractive-Load and jQuery while still being jQuery-compatible. vertex.js is a single, self-contained file with no build step and no dependencies. Also exhibits the curious quality of being faster than over a decade of engineering at Facebook in some cases: https://files.catbox.moe/sqei0d.png

I was going to say that font is unreadable, but its Courier New. By my own extensive testing[1], it's optimal at minimum 18px, you're at 13.5px. [1]: https://github.com/Diablo-D3/dotfiles/blob/master/fontsizes....

1kloc is a bit abstract ; it seems you are in a great position to give a true bundled weight ; preact is about 3kb which is my fav for years - good job for the effort and results !

Huh, interesting... why have both React components and Mustache-style templates in the same framework? They perform the same function? What's the use case for mixing them?

A bit surprised to see a new framework boasting to ship as UMD. Are developers still using commonjs? I'm sure some continue to CDN inject libraries. But even then ESM is well supported.

Annoyingly there's already a framework called Vert.x for JVM but there's also Vert.x Node.js
