I implemented an entire database in VanillaJS:

It runs in-production with 10M+ monthly users!

https://github.com/amark/gun ~13KB

I get a lot of hate for not-using-2ton-framework-of-the-month.

But I think prioritizing performance is worth the flack.

Seeing repos/articles like this deeply warm my heart, maybe us VanillaJS devs are not alone after all!

Does anybody have other favorite VanillaJS projects, that they could share?

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Really interesting project, thousands of stars in gh, nice documentation... Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure I understand, it doesn't look like there's any DOM code included. What would you be using a framework for?

Cool 3 letter names. Reminds me of the commands in Bloomberg Terminal/some old HCI. I really like how you've built a whole stack of custom tech there.

That's my aim too. My work is all Vanilla. I hate to use external frameworks and libraries in the browser, but love to use stuff on npm. I prefer to write something I like to use, rather than use something that exists that I don't like working with.

You can see portfolio here: https://github.com/cris691/Portfolio. Bepis and Dumbass are vanilla front-end alternatives to frameworks.

I'm really interested on what you think the hate for not-using-2ton-framework-of-the-month is about?
