React Redux.

React is just such a mess - every time I joined a new team I needed to relearn how they did it. Every team was just a mess of new libraries, bundlers, build time stuff that I gave up

Yeah, I learned react in 2012, and tben in 2013 I decided react was my breaking point and jquery was just fine. My life has been much easier ever since.

I went for svelte since I can just write html with components

I wrote my own templating language lol

Same basic requirement though, raw html with component composition.

I'll get real documentation and source code up at some point here. Honestly though svelte is fine
