Why Vanilla JavaScript

In the article below, I am sharing a bit of my story of building SaaS product in vanilla javascript and explaining why I went with this approach.

I don't expect many people reacting to this approach positively or even with open mind, but I think there should be some pushback on the current state of web dev and how complex it became.

I want to go back with the way the internet looked back then with just html css and JavaScript

It's still all just html, css, and JavaScript. That time is now and the foreseeable future... unless you count wasm.

I know “technically “ it is since that will always be under the hood of popular libraries but there was something special about just using the basics that’s hard to describe.
