Vanilla JavaScript is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework
vanilla-js.comEvery time this is posted I am suckered into exploring it and get excited all over again. The project has been abandoned because apps built on it are supported by too many browsers and OSs.
We're just not there yet. Maybe someday.
You're joking right? It's hard to catch typed sarcasm...
If not - then maybe this should help explain how Vanilla JS works ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript
I'm been a proud vanilla-js programmer for over 2 decades.
The only in-built thing really lacking is customizable dialogs, such as HTML modal and modeless dialogs, and starred password input control dialogs.
All of the typical JS packages are available for vanilla-js, like calendar and color pickers.
What's funny is that other developers' ears usually perk up when you mention being a vanilla-js programmer, and often want a demo to see how you can do entire apps without jquery, etc.
Vanilla JS is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework for building incredible, powerful JavaScript applications.
