I'm a big fan of these setups but has anybody ever successfully used a minimal-JS setup for anything useful?

I mean, there's apps like Pinboard but React & Redux do handle a lot of complexity and most modern apps demand that complexity.

People have done plenty of useful things with htmx, just like people did (and some continue to do) useful things with links & forms.

Here's the example that's most convenient for me to pull up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHoAwVcSLdE (via https://www.commspace.co.za/)

Whatever you can do with React you can do with pure JS.
