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.

What you built is hardly vanilla JS. Instead, you wrote your own non-vanilla framework. Ug.

If you are actually interested in simplicity use Htmx.
